Privacy Policy

In short

We collect the least we can get away with: an email address so you have an account, a wallet address so we can pay you, an approximate location so we can spot someone breaking into your account, and whatever you choose to post. We do not sell any of it.

What we collect

Your account

You sign in through Google or Apple. They tell us your email address, and that is what identifies your account. We never see, receive or store your password for those services, and we cannot sign in to them on your behalf.

We generate a username and display name for you. You can change them, and we keep whatever you set.

Your wallet

Signing in creates a crypto wallet for you automatically, or links one you already hold. We store the wallet address — but only after you have proven you control it by signing a message with it.

A wallet address is public information: anyone can look up its balance and history on the blockchain. We never hold your private keys, cannot move your funds, and cannot recover a wallet you lose access to.

Where you sign in from

When you sign in we send your IP address to a third-party lookup service and store the country and city it returns. This is how we notice a sign-in from somewhere unexpected. We do not collect GPS, street addresses, or anything more precise than a city.

What you post

Memes, posts, comments, reactions, profile and cover images. Images and video are stored with a third-party media host. Anything you post publicly is visible to anyone, including people without an account and search engines.

Your messages

Direct messages are stored on our servers, so that you can read them on any device you sign in from. They travel between you and us over an encrypted connection.

They are not end-to-end encrypted. In the app, only the people in a conversation can see it. We do not read messages as a matter of routine. We may read one when we have to: to act on a report, to keep the service safe, or when the law requires it.

Messages sent before 28 September 2026 were end-to-end encrypted. We hold only their encrypted form, and they can no longer be shown.

Your activity and earnings

We record the points you earn, your weekly ranking, and each weekly prize you win — the amount, the wallet address it was sent to, and the blockchain transaction that paid it.

Technical information

Like any website, our servers log requests: IP address, browser, and what was requested. We use these to keep the service running and to investigate abuse.

Why we collect it

• To run your account — signing you in, showing your profile, delivering your messages.
• To pay you — a proven wallet address is the only thing we will send money to.
• To keep the platform safe — spotting unusual sign-ins, investigating reports, and stopping people gaming the ranking.
• To meet our obligations — keeping records of payments we have made.

Who else sees your data

We share only what a service needs to do its job. We do not sell personal information, and we do not give advertisers anything from your account. The one place an advertiser's technology runs on FreeMock is described under Advertising below.

• Reown — powers sign-in and the wallet. Sees your social login and wallet activity.
• Our media host — stores and delivers the images and video you upload.
• An IP geolocation provider — receives your IP address and returns an approximate location.
• The Base blockchain — receives your wallet address and the amount whenever you cash out. This is public and permanent.
• Google AdSense — shows ads to visitors who are not signed in on our public meme template pages and the pages of shared memes. It sets its own cookies and receives your IP address, your browser and device details, and the page you are on. See Advertising below.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect someone from harm.

Advertising

The public meme template pages — the list of templates and each template's own page — and the page of a shared meme (a post) may show ads from Google AdSense to visitors who are not signed in. If you are signed in you do not see them and Google's ad code is not loaded for you. No other page on FreeMock shows ads.

To choose and measure ads, Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies on those pages. Google receives your IP address, your browser and device details, and the address of the page you are looking at. If you allow it, Google can use cookies to show you ads based on your earlier visits to this and other websites (personalised ads). We do not give Google your name or your email address, and we do not see which ads you are shown.

Where the law asks for it — in the UK and the EU, for instance — Google shows its own message first and asks for your choice. You can say no and keep using FreeMock normally; you may still see ads, but not ones based on your browsing. You can change your mind at any time. To turn personalised ads off for your Google account, use Google's Ads Settings. How Google uses information from sites that use its services is explained in its policy for partner sites.

How long we keep it

Account data lasts as long as your account. Delete your account and we remove your profile, posts and comments.

Three things survive deletion, and we would rather say so plainly:

• Blockchain records. Payments already sent cannot be erased by us or anyone else.
• Messages you sent. They remain in the other person's copy of the conversation, as they would in any messaging app.
• Payment records we are required to keep.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you can ask us to show you the data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, hand it over in a portable form, or stop using it in a particular way. Ask through the contact page and we will respond.

If you are in the UK or EU and think we have handled your data badly, you can complain to your national data protection authority. We would rather you told us first, but that right is yours regardless.

Cookies

We use cookies to keep you signed in, and store your message encryption keys locally on your device. The pages that show ads also carry Google's advertising cookies. Our Cookie Policy covers what each one does and what happens if you block them.

Children

FreeMock is for people aged 18 and over, because it pays real money. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has an account, tell us and we will remove it.

Security

We use encryption in transit, store no passwords of yours at all, and require a cryptographic signature before paying out to any address. No system is perfectly secure, but we will tell you promptly if a breach affects your data.

Changes to this policy

When our practices change we will update this page and the date at the top. Significant changes will be announced in the app rather than made quietly.
