01_INTRODUCTION

Minos ("we," "our," or "the Service") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our decentralized genomic variant calling network and dashboard.

02.1_BLOCKCHAIN_DATA (PUBLIC)
  • ├── Wallet addresses (hotkeys and coldkeys)
  • ├── Stake amounts and emission distributions
  • ├── Validator weights and trust scores
  • ├── Network participation metrics
  • └── Axon endpoint information (IP addresses)
02.2_PLATFORM_DATA
  • ├── Evaluation task metadata
  • ├── Miner performance scores (F1, precision, recall)
  • ├── VCF file checksums (not genomic data)
  • └── Network activity logs
02.3_DASHBOARD_ANALYTICS
  • ├── Browser type and version
  • ├── Pages visited and interaction patterns
  • ├── Referral source
  • └── Device information
03_GENOMIC_DATA_HANDLING
  • REFERENCE_DATA_ONLY: Validators use publicly available reference genomes (GIAB)
  • NO_PERSONAL_DATA: The network does not process individual patient samples
  • TEMPORARY_PROCESSING: Genomic files are processed transiently
  • RESULT_VALIDATION: Only scores and checksums retained
04_DATA_USAGE
  • ├── Calculate and distribute performance-based token emissions
  • ├── Display network statistics and leaderboards
  • ├── Monitor network health and detect fraud
  • ├── Improve scoring algorithm and infrastructure
  • ├── Communicate important updates
  • └── Comply with legal obligations
05_INFORMATION_SHARING
05.1_PUBLIC_INFORMATION

Performance data, wallet addresses, and network statistics are publicly displayed and recorded on-chain.

05.2_THIRD_PARTY_SERVICES

We may use third-party services for hosting and analytics. We do not sell personal information.

05.3_LEGAL_REQUIREMENTS

We may disclose information when required by law or to protect rights and safety.

06_DATA_RETENTION
  • ├── BLOCKCHAIN: Permanent (immutable)
  • ├── PERFORMANCE: Retained for historical analysis
  • ├── TASK_METADATA: 90 days, then aggregated
  • └── ANALYTICS: 12 months, then anonymized
07_SECURITY
  • ├── Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS)
  • ├── Secure cloud infrastructure with access controls
  • ├── Regular security audits and monitoring
  • └── Cryptographic verification of submissions

NOTE: No system is completely secure. Users are responsible for securing their own keys.

08_YOUR_RIGHTS
  • ├── Access personal information we hold
  • ├── Request correction of inaccurate data
  • ├── Request deletion (where feasible, not on-chain)
  • ├── Object to certain processing
  • └── Data portability

[!] BLOCKCHAIN_DATA cannot be modified or deleted due to immutability.
