Privacy Policy — Blue Brick

What we collect

When you send a project enquiry, we receive what you type into the form:

Your project or brand name and your description of it
The services you’re interested in, your project’s stage, budget and timeline
Your name
The way you’d like us to reach you and the handle, phone number or email address you give for it
How you found us, if you tell us
The IP address and browser the enquiry was sent from

When you create an account by signing in with your Solana wallet, we store:

Your wallet address (your wallet signs a one-time message to prove it’s yours)
Your first and last name, date of birth, gender and country
When you signed up and last signed in, and the IP address and browser of each signed-in device, so you can see and sign out your devices

When you use your dashboard, we store what you add to it: chat messages with our team, support tickets and replies, files you upload, and your answers on deliverables.

If you join our referral program, we store your referral link, how many times it was clicked, which projects you referred, and, when you claim a reward in Discord, your Discord user ID and username.

When you pay, we store each payment’s amount, token, the wallet it came from, its blockchain transaction, and the invoice we issue for it. Payments on Solana are public: anyone can see a transaction and the wallets involved on the blockchain itself, and nobody, including us, can change or remove it.

When you visit the site, our server briefly sees technical information every website receives, such as your IP address and browser type. We also count visits with privacy-friendly analytics, described below.

How we use it

To reply to your enquiry and discuss your project
To prepare a proposal and, if we work together, to deliver the project
To run your account and dashboard, and to confirm your payments and issue invoices
To keep the site secure and stop spam and automated abuse
To keep a record of what was agreed, and who asked for what
To understand, in aggregate, how the site is used so we can improve it

We don’t sell, rent or trade your information, and we don’t add you to mailing lists.

Spam protection

The enquiry form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to check that it’s being used by a person, not a bot. Turnstile looks at signals from your browser to do this and is designed not to track you across other sites. Its use of that data is covered by Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

We also use your IP address to limit how many enquiries can be sent in a short time. That running count is held in memory for up to an hour and isn’t saved.

When an enquiry is sent, the IP address and browser it came from are stored alongside it. That record helps us tell real enquiries from automated ones and deal with abuse. We don’t use it to track you or to build a profile.

Analytics

We use Umami, a privacy-focused analytics service, to count visits and see which pages and sections are used. It doesn’t use cookies, doesn’t store your IP address, and doesn’t build a profile of you or follow you across other sites. We only ever see totals, such as how many people visited a page, which country they visited from and what kind of device they used.

We also count a few actions on the site, like opening the enquiry form, reaching each step of it, and which contact method was chosen when an enquiry is sent. These counts never include what you typed into the form.

Who we share it with

We use a small number of services to run Blue Brick. Each only receives what it needs to do its job:

Discord: new enquiries, your chat messages and support tickets, and payment confirmations are delivered to private channels that only our team can see.
Helius: our connection to the Solana blockchain, used to check wallet balances and confirm payments. It sees wallet addresses and transactions, not your name.
Cloudflare: for the spam check described above.
Umami: for the anonymous visit counts described above.
Our hosting provider: the server that runs this site.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it. These providers may process data outside your country. We choose providers that protect it appropriately.

Cookies

This site doesn’t use advertising or tracking cookies, and our analytics work without cookies. When you sign in, we set one cookie that keeps you signed in; it’s needed for your dashboard to work. If you arrive through someone’s referral link, we set a cookie for 7 days that remembers who referred you. The spam check may use what it strictly needs to work.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiries, including the IP address they came from, while we’re discussing or working on a project, and for up to 24 months after our last contact so we have a record of what was agreed. After that we delete them. You can ask us to delete yours sooner at any time.

We keep your account, and what’s in your dashboard, for as long as you have an account with us. Payment records and invoices are kept for as long as the law requires us to keep business records, even if you close your account. Transactions on the blockchain are permanent and outside anyone’s control.

Your choices and rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to:

Tell you what information we hold about you
Correct anything that’s wrong
Delete your information
Stop contacting you

You can correct your name and country yourself in your dashboard’s Account page. Depending on where you are, laws such as the GDPR in Europe and the UK, or the CCPA in California, may give you further rights. We’ll respond to any request within 30 days. Mention your project code if you have one, so we can find your enquiry quickly.

Security

We protect your information with access controls and encrypted connections, and limit who on our team can see it. Files you upload are only ever shown to you and the team members working on your project. No system is perfectly secure, so never send us private keys, seed phrases or passwords. We will never ask for them.

Children

This site and our services are for people aged 18 and over.

Changes

If we change how we handle information, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
