Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 30, 2026

1. Information We Collect

  • Email address — for account creation and authentication
  • IP address — for geo-location (country level only) and network routing
  • Device type — to optimize the node experience (PWA vs desktop)
  • Usage metrics — uptime, bandwidth contributed, and session data
  • UTM parameters — to understand how you found GINode

2. What We Do NOT Collect

  • Your browsing history or personal internet activity
  • Passwords, credentials, or sensitive personal information
  • Contents of your communications or files
  • Financial information (no payment required)

3. How We Use Your Information

Your email is used solely for authentication and important service communications. IP addresses are used for country-level geo-routing of network traffic and are not stored permanently. Usage metrics are used to calculate GP rewards and improve the Service.

4. Bandwidth Sharing

When your node is active, encrypted web requests from our commercial partners are routed through your internet connection. These requests access only publicly available websites. Your personal traffic is completely separate and unaffected. All routed traffic is filtered to prevent access to harmful or illegal content.

5. Data Security

All communications between your device and our servers are encrypted using TLS. We use industry-standard security measures to protect your account information. Your bandwidth contributions are anonymized — our partners cannot identify individual nodes.

6. Third-Party Services

We use Supabase for authentication and data storage, and Amplitude for anonymous usage analytics. These services have their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

7. Your Rights

You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting support@ginode.io. You can stop sharing bandwidth at any time by pausing or stopping your node.

8. Push Notifications

If you enable push notifications, we store your subscription endpoint to send you service updates. You can disable notifications at any time through your browser or device settings.
