Privacy

Last updated 2026-05-16.

The short version. We don't collect personal identifying data, don't profile you, and don't sell anything. Wallet addresses are public on Solana whether we exist or not. We use Cloudflare's cookieless Web Analytics for aggregate visitor counts. The affiliate program stores referral attribution keyed on Solana wallet pubkeys and a session id; no email, no name, no phone.

What we collect from you

No personal identifying information. The site has no email signups, no name fields, no phone numbers, no address fields. Authentication is wallet-only via sign-in-with-Solana — we see your Solana pubkey (already public on-chain) and a signed message proving you control it. We never see your wallet's private key.

For the affiliate program and live stats, the backend Worker stores:

Solana wallet pubkeys — already public on-chain. Keyed to your affiliate row, your referral clicks, your mint attributions, and your marketplace trade records.
Anonymous session IDs — a UUID generated when you land on a referral page; used to attribute the mint to the correct Barklink when you eventually buy.
Salted hashes of your IP and user-agent — used for rate limiting and bot detection. The salt rotates quarterly; we cannot reverse the hash to recover your raw IP.
Page-view events — aggregate counters of which routes are hit, plus the live-visitor count. No fingerprinting.

No email addresses, no names, no phone numbers, no postal addresses, no geolocation beyond the country-level Cloudflare Web Analytics signal, no biometrics, no third-party tracking pixels, no fingerprinting scripts.

What's on the chain (and therefore public anyway)

When you mint a Spaniel, the transaction is recorded on Solana and indexed by every major block explorer. That public record includes:

The wallet address that signed the mint.
The token ID minted, the visual variant assigned, and the asset's metadata URI.
The amount of SOL paid to the treasury (computed from the curve at mint time).
If a Barklink referred you, the referrer wallet that received the affiliate commission — this is on-chain and public.
The block time and slot.

Our ingest pipeline reads this public data from Helius (a Solana RPC provider) and updates the site. We don't add anything to it. We don't collect anything else tying that wallet address to a real-world identity, and we have no way to.

Affiliate program data

If you create a Barklink at /affiliate, the backend stores a row keyed on your wallet pubkey containing your affiliate ID, generated stats (clicks referred, mints attributed, commissions earned), and a verified Spaniel holding count refreshed from Helius DAS. Stats counters and totals are displayed publicly in shortened form (e.g. Abcd…wxyz) on the leaderboards.

If you visit a referral landing page (e.g. /bonus/bark_xxxxxxxx), the Worker creates a referral session id and stores the referralId, salted-hashed IP, route, timestamp, and the optional URL campaign string. The session id is also written to your localStorage so the discount applies automatically at mint time. The session expires after 30 days.

You can clear the local referral session at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for spanielsyndicate.com. The backend session remains until expiry but ceases to attach to your future mints once the local copy is gone.

Cookies and trackers

The site sets no cookies. It runs no Google Analytics, no Facebook pixel, no Twitter pixel, no advertising network, and no fingerprinting scripts.

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics for aggregate page-view counts. It is intentionally cookieless and does not store visitor IP addresses, per Cloudflare's documentation. What we see is an hourly histogram of page views and an approximate country breakdown. We cannot identify any individual visitor from this data.

Third parties our site talks to

Helius — Solana RPC. Your browser sends RPC requests through our proxy at rpc.spanielsyndicate.com (a Cloudflare Worker) to Helius. Helius and Cloudflare can see your IP address as part of any HTTP request, like any web service. Neither receives wallet-key material from us.
GitHub Pages — we host this website statically through GitHub Pages. Standard web logs on their side (IP, user-agent) apply per GitHub's privacy statement.

Children

This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. Do not use the mint if you are under 18.

OFAC / sanctioned regions

The mint is not offered to residents of, or persons located in, regions subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions (currently including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine). The on-chain contract cannot enforce this on its own; the user-facing widget does its best.

Data retention and deletion

We don't store personal data, so there is nothing to retain or delete. We cannot remove a transaction from Solana — that's a property of public blockchains. If you'd like a wallet's row removed from the on-site “recently minted” feed for a legitimate reason (such as an OFAC listing), email us at the address below and we will remove the display.
