Privacy Policy
Humanoid Network Inc.
Effective Date: April 15, 2026
1. Introduction
Humanoid Network Inc. ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates the Humanoid Network platform ("Platform") at humanoidnetwork.org. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our Platform, including our website, web application, and mobile application. By using the Platform, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Account Information. We use Privy, a third-party authentication service, to manage user registration and login. Depending on your chosen login method, we may collect: (a) for email login: your email address; (b) for social login (Google, Twitter/X, Discord, etc.): your public profile information, email address, and unique identifier from the social platform; (c) for Web3 wallet login (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc.): your public wallet address. We may also collect additional information you provide during registration, such as username, profile details, and geographic location.
2.2 Contribution Data. When you perform tasks on our Platform, we collect video recordings, sensor data, trajectory information, task metadata, annotations, quality scores, and all other data generated through your interaction with the Platform ("Contribution Data"). Contribution Data is the core asset of the Humanoid Network and is used to train Physical AI models.
2.3 Biometric and Environmental Data. Contribution Data may include: (a) video recordings of your hands, body, and physical environment; (b) audio captured incidentally during video recording; (c) environmental context (room layout, objects, lighting conditions). Where applicable law requires explicit consent for the collection of biometric data (including under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act, and the Washington Biometric Identifiers statute), we will obtain such consent prior to collection.
2.4 Usage Information. We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Platform, including pages visited, features used, tasks attempted and completed, session duration, referring URLs, and clickstream data.
2.5 Device and Technical Information. We collect device type, operating system, browser type, screen resolution, IP address, approximate location (derived from IP), unique device identifiers, and mobile device model and carrier.
2.6 Blockchain Data. When you connect a wallet or interact with on-chain features, we collect your public wallet address, transaction hashes, token balances (HAN, veHAN), staking activity, and governance votes. Blockchain data is publicly visible by design and is not considered private information.
2.7 Payment Information. If you receive compensation through the Platform or if fiat on-ramp/off-ramp services are offered, we may collect bank account details, payment wallet addresses, or other financial information necessary to process payments.
2.8 Communications. If you contact us for support or provide feedback, we collect the content of your communications and any information you voluntarily provide.
3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we process personal data based on the following legal grounds:
3.1 Contract Performance (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). We process Account Information, Contribution Data, and Payment Information as necessary to perform our contract with you, including providing Platform services, processing task submissions, managing HAN Pts, and facilitating token conversions.
3.2 Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). We process Usage Information, Device Information, and aggregated Contribution Data based on our legitimate interests in: (a) training and improving AI models; (b) maintaining Platform security and preventing fraud; (c) conducting analytics to improve services; (d) quality assurance of Contributions. We have conducted a balancing test and determined that these interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
3.3 Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Where required by law, we obtain your explicit consent for: (a) commercial licensing of data to enterprise licensees; (b) processing of biometric data (where applicable); (c) marketing communications; (d) cross-border data transfers to countries without adequacy decisions.
3.4 Legal Obligations (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR). We process certain information to comply with legal obligations, including tax reporting, anti-money laundering requirements, and responding to lawful requests from authorities.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to: (a) provide, operate, and maintain the Platform; (b) process and evaluate task submissions through our quality assurance pipeline; (c) curate, clean, and process Contribution Data for training Physical AI models; (d) improve AI models and develop new products and services; (e) calculate and credit HAN Pts based on the reward formula; (f) facilitate HAN token conversions, staking, and governance; (g) process payments and manage compensation; (h) communicate with you about your account, tasks, and Platform updates; (i) detect and prevent fraud, abuse, Sybil attacks, and security issues; (j) comply with legal obligations; (k) conduct research and analytics to improve the Platform; (l) license curated and processed data to enterprise licensees.
5. Data Processing for AI Training
5.1 Purpose. The primary purpose of the Platform is to generate high-quality training data for Physical AI models. Your Contribution Data is essential to this process.
5.2 Processing Pipeline. Contribution Data undergoes automated quality checks (hand visibility, motion quality, lighting, duration, duplicate detection) and human validation (Validator review). Data that does not meet quality thresholds may be discarded.
5.3 Anonymization. Before inclusion in datasets licensed to enterprise licensees, Contribution Data is processed to remove or obscure personally identifiable information, including faces, license plates, and identifying environmental features, where technically feasible. Our anonymization standard is aligned with GDPR Recital 26: data is considered anonymized when the data subject is not or no longer identifiable, taking into account all means reasonably likely to be used by either the controller or any other person to identify the individual directly or indirectly. Anonymization techniques include face blurring, background masking, metadata stripping, and removal of unique environmental identifiers.
5.4 Commercial Use. Processed Contribution Data is used commercially, including for training AI models that are licensed to enterprise licensees. Once processed and incorporated into training datasets, the data becomes part of the Humanoid Network's data assets.
5.5 Irreversibility. Once Contribution Data is used to train an AI model, it cannot be individually extracted from the model weights. This is a fundamental characteristic of machine learning, not a policy choice.
6. Sharing of Information
We may share your information with: (a) enterprise licensees (curated, processed, and anonymized Contribution Data for AI model training); (b) validators (limited metadata about submissions for quality review); (c) service providers who assist in operating the Platform, bound by data processing agreements; (d) blockchain networks (transaction data published as inherent to their operation); (e) professional advisors bound by confidentiality obligations; (f) regulatory authorities when required by law; (g) potential buyers in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets; (h) with your consent. We do not sell personal Account Information to third parties for marketing purposes.
7. Data Retention
7.1 Account Information. Retained for as long as your account is active, plus three (3) years after account closure.
7.2 Usage and Device Data. Retained for twenty-four (24) months from the date of collection.
7.3 Payment Information. Retained for seven (7) years as required by applicable tax and financial regulations.
7.4 Contribution Data (Raw). Retained in identifiable form for the duration of the active license. Subject to removal requests per the Contributor Agreement.
7.5 Contribution Data (Processed/Anonymized). Retained indefinitely as it cannot be individually identified or attributed.
7.6 Blockchain Data. Public blockchain data is permanent and immutable. We cannot delete on-chain records.
7.7 HAN Pts and Token Records. Retained for seven (7) years for audit and compliance purposes.
8. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including: (a) encryption at rest and in transit (TLS 1.2+); (b) access controls with role-based permissions; (c) regular security assessments and penetration testing; (d) incident response procedures; (e) employee training on data protection; (f) secure development practices.
