1. Introduction

Welcome to RFK MEME Coin, a meme token governed by the RFK Community DAO (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you access or interact with the RFK MEME Coin website, online platforms, or other associated services and channels (collectively, the “Services”).
 

Important Notice

• No Central Ownership: RFK MEME Coin is not owned or controlled by a single entity. It is governed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) composed of community members.

• Disclaimer: The explanations in this Privacy Policy are general and do not constitute legal advice. We recommend seeking guidance from a qualified attorney who can address your specific legal obligations and requirements.
   

2. Nature of Our Services

RFK MEME Coin is a community-driven meme token. It does not purport to be a security or any type of financial/investment product. All interactions with RFK MEME Coin are performed via decentralized blockchain technology. If you choose to acquire or transfer RFK MEME Coin through exchanges or third parties, you do so at your own risk and discretion.
 

3. Applicability and Acceptance

By accessing or using our Services (e.g., browsing the RFK MEME Coin website, joining community channels), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the collection and use of your personal information as described in this Policy. If you do not agree with any provisions of this Policy, please discontinue your use of the Services.
 

4. Information We Collect

We may collect various types of information depending on how you interact with our Services, even though the community DAO model means there is no centralized entity running RFK MEME Coin.
 

4.1 Personal Information

• Contact Information: Your name, email address, and any other details you provide if you voluntarily contact us (e.g., via email, social media, or community forums).

• Wallet Addresses: If you choose to publicly disclose your blockchain wallet address in community forums or other channels, other community members (and potentially third-party services) may associate that address with your username.
   

4.2 Non-Personal Information

• Usage Data: We may automatically receive information about how you interact with our websites or online forums, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, access times, pages viewed, links clicked, and referral URLs.

• Cookies and Similar Technologies: We (or website hosting services) may use cookies or similar technologies to enhance your user experience. Refer to “Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies” below for more details.
   

4.3 Special Categories of Data

We do not intentionally collect special categories of personal data (e.g., health, biometric, or sensitive data). If you voluntarily provide such information, it is at your own risk, and we will handle it in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
 

5. How We Use Your Information

Because RFK MEME Coin operates as a community DAO, there is no centralized use or processing of your information for profit-driven activities. However, we or community members helping to run the DAO may use your information for:
 

1. Communication: To respond to inquiries you make via email, social media, or community channels; to provide updates on community proposals, DAO votes, or other relevant news.

2. Community and Governance: To facilitate DAO governance processes, including forum discussions, proposals, and voting.

3. Website and Service Improvements: To analyze how the community interacts with RFK MEME Coin’s online platforms and to improve user experiences.

4. Compliance and Protection: To comply with applicable laws and regulations (if any), prevent fraud, resolve disputes, and enforce our terms of use or rules established by the community.

5. Legal Obligations: Where required under applicable law or where we deem necessary to protect the community’s interests or comply with legitimate law enforcement requests.
    

6. Legal Bases for Processing (If Applicable)

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or countries with similar legal frameworks, our legal bases to process your personal data may include:
 

1. Consent: You have explicitly given us permission to use your personal information.

2. Legitimate Interests: We may rely on our legitimate interests (e.g., to secure and enhance our Services and community) as long as your interests or fundamental rights are not overridden.

3. Legal Compliance: We may process personal information to comply with our legal obligations where applicable.
    

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Since RFK MEME Coin is governed by a DAO, no single entity centrally manages or sells your data. However, consider the following scenarios:
 

1. Community Volunteers: Certain community members (e.g., moderators or developers) may have access to information you submit (such as emails, forum posts, or support inquiries).

2. Third-Party Service Providers: The DAO or community members may use hosting, analytics, or email distribution platforms. These providers may receive limited information to perform tasks on our behalf.

3. Legal Requirements: If legally compelled by law enforcement or regulatory agencies, relevant community stakeholders or service providers may comply with lawful requests.

4. Public Information: Blockchain transactions (including transfers of RFK MEME Coin) are publicly visible on the blockchain and thus accessible to anyone with blockchain-explorer tools.
    

8. Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We and/or our hosting providers may use “cookies” and similar technologies for legitimate operational and analytics purposes:
 

• Essential Cookies: Required for basic functionality (e.g., session management).

• Analytics/Performance Cookies: Help measure how users interact with our websites or community forums to improve content and performance.

• Functionality Cookies: Used to remember preferences and enhance user experience.

You can usually configure your web browser to block cookies, but doing so may affect your user experience.
 

9. Data Retention

Data retention policies within a DAO framework may vary. Generally, personal data is retained only as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law. For example, if you post publicly in the forum, your content may remain visible indefinitely unless you request removal or the platform automatically archives old posts.
 

10. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information within our control. However, because a DAO is decentralized and often relies on third-party services or public platforms, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, or data breaches will never occur.
 

11. International Data Transfers

Your personal information, including any posts or data on public forums, may be accessible globally. When you engage with the DAO, you acknowledge that such information could be transferred across borders, including to jurisdictions with different data protection laws.
 

12. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights such as:

• Access: To request details of personal data held about you.

• Rectification: To update or correct inaccurate information.

• Erasure: To request deletion under certain conditions.

• Restriction: To ask to limit the processing of your data.

• Object: To object to certain data processing based on legitimate interests.

• Data Portability: To receive a copy of your information in a commonly used format.
   

To exercise these rights (to the extent they apply and are enforceable within a DAO context), please contact us via the information below. We will do our best to accommodate your request in accordance with applicable law.
 

13. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not intended for individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us so we can remove it.
 

14. Third-Party Links

Online spaces or forums associated with the RFK Community DAO may contain links to third-party websites or platforms. We have no control over these sites’ privacy practices. Review their privacy policies before submitting information.
 

15. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Policy. If significant changes occur, we will post updates within our community channels or website. By continuing to use our Services after any changes, you agree to the revised Policy.
