Last updated: 30 June 2026 See also: Terms & Conditions

In short

This summary is for convenience only. The numbered sections below are the full Policy.

  • We store only what we need: your principal ID and your username — both already public on-chain.
  • We never collect your email, password, date of birth, phone, or seed phrase to use the core Platform.
  • We do not sell, rent, trade, profile, or advertise to you.
  • Shipping details for physical redemptions go to our sister company Catcha, only when you request them.
  • On-chain data is public and permanent — we can't edit or delete it.
  • We honour GDPR and CCPA rights. The Platform is for adults (18+).

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Toko (“we”, “our”, or “us”), operated by Toko Studios Ltd, collects, uses, and protects information in connection with your use of our website and our Token creation and transfer services on the Internet Computer blockchain. We are committed to protecting your privacy and to complying with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

2. Our privacy philosophy

We believe privacy is a fundamental right. We collect and store only the minimum data necessary to operate the Platform. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information, and we do not track, profile, or market to users.

3. Information we collect

a. Required data

  • Principal ID — the public identifier assigned to your Internet Computer identity.
  • Username — chosen by you for display and identification within the Platform.

This data is public and connected to your on-chain activity. We do not collect your email, password, date of birth, phone number, or wallet seed phrase to use the core Platform.

b. Optional shipping data

If you purchase or redeem a physical item (a “real-world asset”) from our sister company, Catcha, you may be asked to provide your full name, shipping address, and an optional contact phone number. This is used solely for fulfilment and delivery. Catcha handles shipping data under its own privacy policy and does not use it for marketing or analytics.

c. Support communications

If you contact us for support, we process the information you choose to share (for example, a message and a contact handle) solely to respond to and resolve your request.

4. How we use data

We use collected information only to:

  • operate and maintain the Platform;
  • display usernames associated with Token creation and transfers;
  • facilitate shipping requests through Catcha, when you voluntarily provide them;
  • respond to support requests; and
  • comply with legal and regulatory obligations where required.

We do not use your data for advertising, analytics profiling, or resale.

5. Legal bases (GDPR)

Where GDPR applies, we process personal data on the following bases: performance of a contract (to provide the Platform and fulfil redemptions you request), legitimate interests (to keep the Platform secure and functioning), legal obligation (where the law requires it), and consent (where you provide optional information). You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on it.

6. Blockchain data

Your activity on the Platform — including Tokens minted or transferred, and your principal ID — is recorded on the Internet Computer, which is public, permanent, and decentralised. All such on-chain data is publicly accessible by design. We cannot modify, delete, or obscure data stored on-chain.

7. Cookies & local storage

We use only what is necessary to make the Platform work — for example, essential session or local-storage entries that keep you signed in and remember basic interface preferences. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or third-party analytics profiling.

8. Data sharing

We share limited data only when necessary:

  • with Catcha, only to process shipments you explicitly request;
  • with service providers that host or maintain our website, under strict data-protection terms; and
  • with authorities, only where required by law.

We do not share or sell user data for commercial purposes.

9. Data retention

We keep off-chain personal data only for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected — for example, shipping data for the period required to fulfil and support your order and to meet legal obligations — after which it is deleted or anonymised. On-chain data is permanent and outside our control (see Section 6).

10. Data security

We use industry-standard measures to protect stored information, including encryption, access controls, and secure hosting environments. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take every reasonable step to protect your data.

11. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (EU, EEA, UK, or U.S.), you may have the right to access the information we hold about you, request correction or deletion (where applicable), object to or restrict certain processing, request data portability, and lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. California residents have the right to know, delete, and opt out of “sale” of personal information — and we do not sell personal information.

To exercise your rights, contact us at [email protected]. Please note that on-chain data cannot be altered or deleted.

12. Children's privacy

The Platform is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

13. International data transfers

Data may be processed in or transferred to jurisdictions outside your own, including the United States and the European Economic Area. Where required, we ensure such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses).

14. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on our website with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Platform after changes take effect signifies your acceptance of the revised Policy.
