Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
At Averytin, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your financial person-to-person interactions. This policy explains how we handle your data across our trading tools, forums, digital wallet, and marketplaces.
Account Security
We encrypt sensitive identifiers and offer multi-factor authentication for all users.
Financial Privacy
Your wallet transactions are processed via secure Prisma-backed operations with strict audit logs.
1. Data Collection & localized Intelligence
To provide a robust, secure, and localized trading environment, we collect and process the following information:
- Profile Intelligence: Username, bio, occupation, and customizable theme settings.
- Physical Fulfillment: For physical product purchases or gifts, we collect and store shipping addresses and recipient names to facilitate delivery.
- Social Wishlists: Products added to your public Wishlist are visible to other community members by default to enable social gifting. You may adjust the visibility of your wishlist in your settings.
- Geolocation & Localized Feeds: We utilize IP-based Geolocation to determine your 'Country of Origin' for localized news and currency experiences.
- Hardware Identification (HWID): To prevent unauthorized piracy of digital trading tools, we collect unique computer/terminal fingerprints when you activate a licensed product. This ID is used solely to enforce device limits and is securely linked to your license record.
- Virtual Wallet & Transaction Metadata: We log all wallet interactions, including crypto deposit/withdrawal addresses, internal peer-to-peer transfer IDs, and social tipping timestamps. While the *content* of your transfers is private, the *transaction metadata* is stored for forensic auditing.
- Engagement Analytics: We track profile views and unique visitor statistics. Detailed view metrics are only visible to the profile owner via the 'My Insights' panel.
- Financial Forensic Data: Complete transaction history and subscription statuses are logged. This data is essential for resolving disputes in the Freelance Hub or P2P Betting Arena.
- Secure Verification (KYC): Government-issued identification for transactions exceeding $1,000, processed via encrypted multi-tier authentication.
2. Real-time Security Enforcement
Averytin employs an automated **User Lockout System**. Our middleware monitors for suspicious session patterns and financial anomalies. In the event of a security breach, accounts are temporarily locked with an active countdown timer for auto-unlocking, ensuring platform-wide safety and protecting user capital.
3. Content Moderation & AI Synergy
Our **Combined Live Feed** and Forum utilize AI-synergy for proactive safety. Content generated via 'AI Assist' or manual posting is scanned for toxicity. We maintain Mutual follower visibility rules to respect user privacy while fostering social engagement.
4. AI Assistant Data Handling
The Averytin AI Assistant is designed with privacy-first principles. Here's how we handle your interactions:
What We Store
- • Conversation History: Your messages and assistant responses are saved to provide continuity across sessions
- • Tool Execution Logs: Actions taken (e.g., "checked balance", "created post") are logged for security auditing

- • User Preferences: Your chosen assistant persona, response language, and custom memory facts are stored to personalize responses
- • Planned Actions: Multi-step action plans and drafts are stored temporarily to enable confirmation workflows

AI Security Measures

8. Cookies & Anonymous Analytics
Averytin uses a multi-tiered approach to balancing platform health with user privacy. We use the following storage methods:
| Identifier | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|

| averytin-theme | Remembers Light/Dark mode | Functional | Permanent |
| visitor_session_token | Analytics tracking (if accepted) | Tracking | 1 Year |
Our Unique Anonymous Counting System
To protect users who opt-out of tracking while still maintaining accurate platform growth metrics, Averytin uses Ephemeral IP Hashing. For users who reject tracking:
- No persistent tracking cookie is stored on your device.
- A temporary hash is generated on our server combining your IP and Today's Date.
- This allows us to count you as a unique visitor for the current day only.
- The hash is automatically invalidated every 24 hours, meaning your activity cannot be linked across multiple days.
9. Your Rights
You have the right to export your data, request account deletion, and adjust your privacy settings directly through your Profile Settings.
