Privacy Policy
FreeholdIP is operated by RaptorLockIP™. This Privacy Policy explains what information the FreeholdIP service handles and how. FreeholdIP is built around data minimization: we are non-custodial and we deliberately avoid collecting personal information we do not need.
1. Information we do not collect or hold
We never receive or store your password, your private keys, your 12-word recovery phrase, or your seed. These are generated and held only on your own device. We cannot access your identity or recover it for you. We do not perform identity (KYC) verification on people who create an identity.
2. Information you publish (public by design)
When you create an identity, your identity name and public blockchain address are written to the Raptoreum blockchain, and the profile you choose to publish (which may include a display name, role, website, contact details you enter, photo, logo, and the credentials you choose to show) is stored on IPFS. This information is public and permanent by design. You choose what to include, and you can hide profile entries, but data already written to the blockchain or to IPFS cannot be deleted by us.
3. Payment information
Payments are processed by Stripe. Stripe collects and processes your payment details and may collect your email and billing information under Stripe's Privacy Policy. We do not receive or store your full card number. We receive limited confirmation information (such as that a payment succeeded and the related session) so we can create your identity and handle support or refunds.
4. Issuer applications
Organizations that apply to become verified issuers submit business and contact information and supporting documents. We store these only while an application is under review; they are permanently deleted when the application is decided, and in any case are automatically purged within 14 days. After approval we retain only the issuer's public on-chain identity and directory listing — no application documents or private information.
5. Third-party services
- Stripe — payment processing.
- Raptoreum blockchain — a public ledger that records identities and asset ownership.
- IPFS — content-addressed storage that hosts published profiles and credential payloads.
- Bitcoin (via OpenTimestamps) — used to timestamp/anchor credential records.
- Cloudflare DNS-over-HTTPS — used to check issuers' published domain records during verification.
These are independent networks and services with their own terms and privacy practices. We do not sell your personal information.
6. Cookies and local storage
FreeholdIP does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Your browser's local storage is used to keep your encrypted keystore and a small amount of state on your own device; this stays in your browser and is not transmitted to us.
7. Data retention
We keep the limited operational records needed to run the Service (such as issued-credential records and payment confirmations). Information written to the blockchain or IPFS is permanent and outside our control. Issuer application materials are purged as described in Section 4.
8. Your choices
You control what your profile shows and can edit or hide entries at any time. For questions about the limited information we hold, contact us at the address below. Please note that we cannot alter or remove information that is already recorded on the blockchain or on IPFS.
9. Children
The Service is not directed to, and may not be used by, anyone under 18 years of age.
10. Changes and contact
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time; the "Last updated" date above reflects the current version. This Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States. Questions or requests: privacy@freeholdip.com.
