Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 26, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how HODL Desktop ("we", "us", or "the site"), accessible at hodl2013.com, handles information when you use our website. HODL Desktop is a digital showcase and interactive tribute to the cultural legacy of GameKyuubi and the early cryptocurrency era.

1. Information We Collect

HODL Desktop is primarily a client-side web application. We collect minimal information:

• Local Storage Data: The site uses your browser's localStorage to save your preferences and settings (such as desktop wallpaper, icon positions, and app state). This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
• Server Logs: Like most websites, our web server may automatically log standard access information including IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited. These logs are used for security monitoring and abuse prevention, and are not shared with third parties.
• IP Addresses for Rate Limiting: To prevent abuse, IP addresses are temporarily stored in server memory for rate-limiting purposes on features such as chat messages, voting, and content submissions. These are not persisted long-term or shared with any third party.

2. User-Generated Content

Certain features allow you to submit content to the site, including chat messages, logo designs, feature requests, and other contributions. When you submit content:

• Your submission is stored on our servers and displayed within the site
• Submissions may include metadata such as the time of submission and a display name you provide (or "Anonymous" if none is given)
• Submitted content is subject to moderation and may be approved, edited, or removed by site administrators
• We do not require account creation for public submissions; however, your IP address may be recorded for abuse prevention

3. Cookies

HODL Desktop does not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies. The site may use essential session cookies required for basic functionality (such as admin panel authentication).

4. Third-Party Services

The site may embed or link to third-party services. When you interact with these services, their own privacy policies apply:

• DexScreener (dexscreener.com) — for token chart data
• Pump.fun (pump.fun) — for token information
• Google Fonts — for web fonts delivery

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through our site.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. We do not run analytics or advertising services on this site.

6. Content Protection

All media and content displayed on this site—including images, memes, audio, video, text, logos, and user submissions—are presented for on-site viewing only as part of the HODL Desktop showcase. Copying, distributing, or republishing any content from this site is strictly prohibited under our Terms of Service. For full details on content usage restrictions, please refer to the Terms of Service.

7. Children's Privacy

HODL Desktop is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
