Privacy Policy

Public network telemetry. Machines that enroll in the B3IQ network send periodic heartbeats containing operational data — hardware inventory (GPU/CPU/RAM), runtime status, model availability, utilization, latency, and approximate region derived from the connecting IP. We do not store raw IP addresses for explorer display. This telemetry is published on the explorer to describe the public network.

Public network records. Machine registration, payout batches, settlement records, and any associated addresses may be recorded on public settlement infrastructure. This information is inherently public, permanent, and outside our control.

Site usage. When you visit b3iq.org we may process standard technical information (browser type, device, pages viewed) to operate and secure the site and understand aggregate usage.

• Operate, display, and improve the B3IQ explorer and network.
• Compute public statistics such as reputation, uptime, routing readiness, and traffic.
• Maintain reliability, prevent abuse, and secure the service.
• Communicate with machine operators about their participation.

We use only the cookies and local storage needed to run the site (for example, remembering UI preferences) and, where used, privacy-respecting aggregate analytics. We do not sell personal information.

We share information with infrastructure providers that help us run the service (such as hosting and content delivery), and as required by law. Public telemetry and settlement records are, by design, visible to anyone.

Operational telemetry is retained for a rolling window sufficient to compute network health and history. Settlement records persist permanently on their underlying infrastructure and cannot be deleted by us.

Machine operators control what hardware they enroll and may unenroll at any time, which stops new heartbeats. Because settlement records and historical public telemetry are immutable or already published, they cannot be retroactively removed. For requests about personal data we hold, contact us at contact@npclabs.org (see Contact below).

The service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “last updated” date above, and continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

The B3IQ explorer (b3iq.org) and network are operated by NPC Labs, Inc. Questions about this policy, or requests about personal data we hold, can be directed to the contact below.
