Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-13

1. What We Collect

SmoozyPool (the "Pool") operates public mining endpoints. To run the service, the Pool stores the following data only:

• Wallet address — submitted by your miner as part of the stratum login string (WALLET.WORKER).
• Worker identifier — a free-text label you choose for each mining rig.
• Submitted shares — share difficulty, timestamp, and accepted/rejected flag.
• IP address of stratum connections — kept short-term for abuse prevention (rate-limiting, banning malicious clients). Not aggregated or shared.

2. What We Do Not Collect

• No email, name, country, or personal details.
• No private keys, no seed phrases. Never type those into anything Pool-related.
• No browser fingerprinting on this site.
• No analytics or tracking cookies.

3. How We Use Data

• Validate mining shares.
• Calculate proportional PPLNS rewards.
• Send payout transactions to your declared wallet.
• Display public pool statistics (per-coin hashrate, blocks found, top contributors by hash power if applicable).

4. Third Parties

The Pool does not sell, share, or transfer your data to third parties. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts (CSS, no cookies set by us). Blockchain transactions made for payouts are public by design.

5. Data Retention

Shares and balance records are kept indefinitely for payout history accuracy. Stratum IPs are kept up to 30 days for abuse-handling and then purged.

6. Your Rights

You can stop mining at any time by disconnecting your miner. Past balance data tied to your wallet address remains for audit but is non-personal (only a chain address). To request removal of historical share rows tied to your wallet, contact us via Telegram.

7. Security

The Pool runs on a dedicated VPS with TLS for the website. Hot pool wallet seed phrases are stored locally on the operator's server with restricted file permissions. Cold-storage long-term reserves are recommended for any high-value pool funds.
