Privacy
What Siliq collects when you mine, sign, pay or send a prompt, why it keeps it, for how long, and what anyone can see.
This policy explains what Siliq ("Siliq", "we", "us") collects when you use the Siliq website, mining client, API, chat, render jobs and headless node software, why we collect it, how long we keep it and what becomes public. It applies together with the Terms of Use.
This page describes our practices. It is not legal advice to you.
01Summary
- You need no account. Siliq knows you by a wallet address, if you connect one, and never asks for a name, email or phone number.
- Privy handles the wallet connection.
- We store IP addresses as salted hashes and never in plain form. Your country comes from our hosting provider as a two-letter code.
- The live feed and the open dataset carry no wallet addresses and no IP data.
- Independent miners and node operators read the prompts you send to open models. Do not send anything sensitive.
- Siliq sets one cookie and uses no advertising or analytics trackers. We do not sell information.
- Anything written to a blockchain is public and permanent, and we cannot delete it.
02Information we collect
When you mine
- The adapter strings your browser exposes (vendor, architecture, device and description from WebGPU, or the renderer string from WebGL2), and the device label, family, process node and memory type we derive from them.
- The instrument, run length, graphics API, score, compute units, time the tab spent hidden, and when the run started and finished.
- The two-letter country code our hosting provider derives from your IP address. We record nothing more precise.
- The wallet address tied to your pass, or the one you attach to a pre-launch run.
From your connection
- Your IP address, which we turn into a salted hash (HMAC-SHA256 under a server secret, truncated) to apply rate limits, grant one free trial per address and stop abuse. We do not store the plain address.
When you use a wallet
- Your address, the signatures that prove you control it, and the tier and holding value at the moment you take a pass.
- The rewards pending for your address, split by token, and the vouchers issued to it.
- For a headless node: the registering address, the models it declares, its GPU label and when it registered.
When you use the API or chat
- Your prompt, system prompt and the conversation you send (the last 40 messages), with the answer, the model, timings and the device label of the GPU that answered.
- For a paid key: a hash of the key, its credit balance, the paying address, the transaction hash, and when the key was created and last used.
- For frontier models: your provider key, used for that single request. We do not store or log it.
When you pay or post a render job
- The transaction hash, sending address and amount, which are public on Robinhood Chain, and a ledger entry for the purchase.
- For render jobs: the scene seed, the title, and the frames miners deliver with the device label of each GPU.
03Information in your browser
| Name | Kind | What it holds | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| silq_pass | cookie | Your signed mining pass: wallet, tier, holding value, issue and expiry time. HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax, Secure in production. | 24 h |
| chat history | local storage | Conversations in the chat, kept on this device. | until cleared |
| provider key | local storage | An Anthropic or DeepSeek key, if you choose to save it. | 30 days |
Local storage stays on your device. We receive its contents when you send them with a request. Privy can keep its own session data for the wallet connection. Siliq sets no advertising or analytics cookies.
04How we use information
- To run and verify runs, and apply ceilings, rate limits, the free trial and tiers.
- To compute rewards, settle cycles and sign vouchers.
- To queue prompts, stream answers, run rechecks and meter credits.
- To process key purchases and render jobs.
- To publish the live feed, leaderboard, GPU table and open dataset, without wallet addresses or IP data.
- To keep the Service secure, prevent abuse and meet legal duties.
We do not sell information, show ads or build marketing profiles.
05What is public
- The live feed, leaderboard, GPU table and open dataset show, per run: device label, vendor, family, country code, instrument, graphics API, score, compute units, run length, mode, tier, multiplier, cycle and time. They show no wallet address, IP address, IP hash or run token.
- Anyone who knows an inference job id can read that job's answer, model and timings for 24 hours. The prompt is not returned. Job ids are random; keep them private if the answer is.
- Render job listings show the buyer's address and payment transaction, which are public on chain, the scene title, and each frame with the label of the GPU that rendered it.
- Claims, deposits and payments on Robinhood Chain are public. Anyone can link them to your address.
- Miners and node operators see the prompts they serve.
06Who receives information
- Privy processes the wallet connection.
- Vercel hosts the Service, handles requests including IP addresses, and supplies the country code.
- Upstash stores the data described in this policy.
- Independent miners and node operators receive prompts and conversations for open models.
- Anthropic and DeepSeek receive your prompt and provider key when you call their models.
- Hugging Face serves model weights to miners' browsers and sees their IP address when it does.
- Robinhood Chain RPC providers receive the addresses we read balances for and the transactions we check.
- Market data providers receive our price requests, which carry nothing about you.
- Authorities, when the law requires it.
07How long we keep it
| Data | Kept for |
|---|---|
| A run in progress | its length plus 30 minutes |
| Completion marker for a run | 7 days |
| Hourly rate-limit counters | about 1 hour |

| Inference jobs: prompt, answer, timings | 24 hours |
| Verified run rows in the dataset and GPU table | no set deletion date |
| Live feed | latest 500 runs |
| Free-trial marker per hashed address | no set deletion date |
| Pending rewards and vouchers per wallet | latest 200 vouchers, no set deletion date |
| Settlement records | latest 200 cycles |
| API key record: key hash, credits, paying address | while the key exists |
| Payment ledger and render jobs | no set deletion date |
| Render frames on a job board | latest 24 per job |
| Node registrations | no set deletion date; node tokens expire after 7 days |
| Cookie silq_pass | 24 hours |
| Chat history in your browser | until you clear it |
| Provider key saved in your browser | 30 days |
| Anything written to a blockchain | permanent |
08International transfers
Vercel, Upstash, Privy and the model providers can process information in the United States and other countries. Miners and node operators can be anywhere. Where the law requires safeguards for these transfers, we rely on the safeguards our providers offer.
09Your choices and rights
- You can run instruments before launch, and take the free trial after it, without connecting a wallet.
- You can delete the
silq_passcookie and clear local storage at any time. Deleting the cookie ends your pass. - You can keep sensitive material out of prompts.
- Depending on where you live, you can ask to access, correct, delete or export information about you, or object to how we use it. Ask through the contact channel below.
- We cannot delete data on a blockchain. Hashed addresses and dataset rows do not identify you on their own, so we can need your wallet address and a signature from it to find your records.
10Security
We hash IP addresses and API keys, sign run and pass tokens, serve the Service over HTTPS and keep the data we hold small. No system is safe from every attack. Report a vulnerability as described on /support.
11Children
The Service is for people aged 18 and over. If we learn that we hold information from someone younger, we delete it.
12Changes to this policy
When this policy changes, the new version carries a new effective date on this page, and we note material changes on the site and at @siliq on X.
13Contact
For privacy requests, send a direct message to @siliq on X and ask for a private channel. Include your wallet's public address if the request concerns it.
