What we collect — and what we don't.

PULSE is wallet-only. There is no account, no email signup, no password. We never collect your name, address, phone number, biometric data or government ID.

What is publicly recorded on chain

• — Your wallet address (whenever you publish, buy, vote, or resell).
• — Every transaction signature you submit (creates an immutable, public record on Shelbynet).
• — Content blob IDs you publish, the title and price you set, and the royalty percentage.
• — Vote events (which wallet voted on which content, and whether up or down).

This information is public by design — anyone can read it directly from Shelbynet without going through PULSE. We cannot delete it; the chain does not forget.

What we collect on our server

• — A short-lived (60-second) login nonce, deleted immediately after a successful sign-in.
• — A 2-hour session JWT stored as an HttpOnly cookie in your browser. Never sent to third parties.
• — Rate-limit counters (per wallet and per IP) used only to prevent abuse. Counters expire automatically.
• — Anonymous server logs (IP address, user agent, request path) retained for up to 30 days for security incident response.

What we do NOT collect

• — Personal identifiers (name, email, phone).
• — Cookies for advertising or third-party tracking.
• — Any private key, seed phrase, or wallet secret. We can't see them — Petra never reveals them.
• — Biometric or device-fingerprint data.

Third parties involved

• — Shelby — receives the file blobs you upload (publicly readable by design).
• — Shelbynet validators — process every transaction you sign.
• — Cloudflare Turnstile (when configured) — bot-prevention; sees only an opaque token.
• — Upstash Redis — holds nonces and rate-limit counters; sees only your wallet address and request counts.

Your rights

You can stop using PULSE at any time. Disconnect your wallet, clear your cookies, and you are gone from our server. Your on-chain history will remain — neither we nor anyone else can erase the blockchain.
