How we handle your data

Last updated: 2026-05-13

1. Who we are

CCPEDIA is operated by Unity Nodes. It is a read-only aggregator of publicly available Canton Network content (CIPs, forum, mailing lists, docs, whitepapers, blog, releases) with an AI search assistant on top. No accounts, no logins, no profiles.

Contact: contact form

2. What we collect

Almost nothing. Specifically:

For rate-limiting only: IP address, an anonymous cookie identifier, and a browser fingerprint hash. Stored in our SQLite database for up to 7 days, then automatically purged. We use it to stop one user from monopolising the free AI endpoint. We don't link it to any identity.
Anonymous chat metrics: timestamp, message length (not the message itself), detected language, response time, which source types were used. Helps us tune quality.
Theme preference: light/dark, stored in your browser's localStorage. Never reaches our server.

We do not store the text of your queries, collect names or emails, load third-party analytics, ad tags, or cross-site trackers.

3. Third-party AI providers

When you chat with Cippy, your question is forwarded to one of the following providers (in fallback order). They process the query under their own privacy terms:

Google Gemini: terms
Groq: privacy
Cohere (used internally for reranking): privacy
Voyage AI (used internally for embeddings): privacy

We don't control their retention. Don't put confidential info into Cippy.

4. Cookies

Only first-party, strictly-necessary cookies (the rate-limit identifier). No marketing cookies, no third-party trackers. You can clear them in your browser at any time.

5. Your rights

You can ask us to show or delete whatever rate-limit record we have on you. Use the contact formand include the IP address you used so we can find it. We'll reply within 30 days.

6. Security

Served over HTTPS. The site runs on a server we operate ourselves; the SQLite database lives on that server and is not shared with any third party.

7. Changes

If anything material changes we'll bump the date at the top. Continued use after a change means you accept the update.
