Under the GDPR, "personal data" means information about individuals from which they are either directly identified or can be identified.

12.4 Other Information
No obligation to provide personal information. Providing personal information to us is voluntary.

We will let you know at the time if this is the case.
No automated decision-making and profiling. As part of the Service, we do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling which produces legal or similarly significant effects on you. Note, however, that the Somnia Protocol incorporates AI agent functionality, enabling smart contracts to query external data sources and execute AI models on-chain. Decisions made by such on-chain AI agents are governed by the relevant smart contract logic and do not constitute decisions made by Somnia about you for GDPR purposes

European data protection laws may give you certain rights regarding your personal information in certain circumstances.

- Rectification: ask us to correct any inaccuracies in the personal information we hold about you.
- Erasure: request that we delete your personal information where we have no legitimate reason to continue holding it.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at legal@somnia.foundation. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request. We aim to respond to all valid requests within one month, though complex or multiple requests may take longer, in which case we will keep you informed.
