1. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Helixbox (the "App"), provided by Helixbox Labs Ltd (including all affiliates, referred to as "Helixbox," "helixbox.ai," "Helixbox Labs**,**" "Helixbox Bridge," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose your information. It applies whenever you use our website and other online products (collectively, our "UI"), engage with us on social media, or otherwise interact with us. In this Privacy Policy, "user," "you," and "your" refer to you as the user of the App. When you access our services on behalf of a company or other entity, "you" includes that entity and you confirm you have the authority to act on its behalf.
Helixbox reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time at our sole discretion. If we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the beginning of the policy. When material changes are made, we will notify you by adding a statement to our website. Your continued access to or use of the Service after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy, where permissible. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed about any amendments.
2. SUMMARY
Helixbox offers a decentralized service with minimal data collection. When you create a wallet address in the Helixbox app, we collect only essential personal information needed for functionality. Our handling of personal information adheres to principles of openness, legality, legitimacy, and necessity. We share your information with third parties only when necessary for service delivery, legal compliance, or rights protection. For most purposes, Helixbox only needs your wallet address and doesn't store additional personal data.
While Helixbox doesn't set cookies directly, our third-party providers may do so. By using Helixbox servicesâincluding our apps and websiteâyou agree to our information practices as described in this Privacy Policy.

This information may include: third-party wallet providers and partners who share your blockchain wallet address and other information you choose to share with them; data analytics providers who supply information about blockchain wallet addresses; vendors providing communication and identity verification services that you choose to use; and other vendors who provide information necessary for our business operations.
