Privacy Policy

WhatYouThink ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have over it. By using our platform, you agree to the practices described here.

We collect information you provide directly and information generated by your use of the platform:

• Account data — name, email address, username, and password when you create an account or join the waitlist.
• Transaction data — trading history, contract positions, deposit and withdrawal records.
• Identity verification — government-issued ID, date of birth, and address where required by applicable law (KYC/AML).
• Usage data — pages visited, features used, device type, browser, IP address, and referral source.
• Communications — support messages, feedback, and survey responses.

We use your information to:

• Operate and improve the WhatYouThink platform and prediction markets.
• Process trades, payouts, and financial transactions.
• Comply with legal obligations including KYC, AML, and tax reporting.
• Send product updates, waitlist notifications, and account alerts.
• Detect fraud, abuse, and security threats.
• Conduct analytics to understand platform usage and improve features.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising profiling.

We share data only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers — payment processors, cloud infrastructure, identity verification services, and analytics tools under strict data processing agreements.
• Legal compliance — when required by law, regulation, court order, or government authority.
• Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred to the successor entity.

We use essential cookies to authenticate sessions and maintain platform state. We use analytics cookies (e.g. PostHog) to understand usage patterns. You may disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings, though some features may be affected.

We retain account and transaction data for as long as your account is active and for a minimum of 5 years after account closure, as required by financial regulations. Usage and analytics data is retained for 24 months. You may request deletion of non-legally-required data at any time.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Delete your account and associated personal data (subject to legal retention requirements).
• Object to or restrict certain processing activities.
• Port your data in a machine-readable format.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@whatyouthink.com.

We use industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, multi-factor authentication, and regular penetration testing. No transmission over the internet is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security but take commercially reasonable steps to protect your data.

WhatYouThink is not intended for persons under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we become aware that a minor has provided us with personal data, we will delete it promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by a prominent notice on the platform at least 14 days before changes take effect. Continued use of the platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
