At Planet Hemp, we believe that data sovereignty is a fundamental human right. In alignment with our Virtual Identity standards and the Protagoras Principle, our approach to cookies is designed to maximize your privacy while ensuring the structural integrity of our decentralized ecosystem.
Unlike traditional platforms that use “tracking” as a commodity, we use “connectivity” as a tool for regeneration.
Contents
1. Our Philosophy: Privacy by Design
We do not use cookies to build a commercial profile of you. We do not sell your data to third-party advertisers. Our cookies are strictly functional—they are the “connective tissue” that allows the Nexus to recognize your Virtual Identity and track your progress through the Ascension Funnel.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Necessity |
| Essential / Structural | These are required for the “handshake” between your browser and our servers. They manage your secure login via the Virtual Identity protocol. | Mandatory |
| XP & Progression | These cookies track your Experience Points (XP) and milestone achievements (e.g., reaching “The Sovereign” status) across the five platforms. | Mandatory |
| Adaptive Performance | Used by the Nexus to remember your local preferences (e.g., “Cold Bridge” settings or language) to optimize data loading speeds. | Optional |
| Nexus Analytics | These provide anonymized, aggregated data to the cooperative. They help us understand which industrial blueprints are most popular, without identifying individual users. | Optional |
3. Third-Party Cookies
Planet Hemp strictly limits third-party interactions. We only allow third-party cookies from verified partners within the Green Renaissance ecosystem (such as the Global Hemp Ledger for transaction verification). We do not allow social media “pixels” or intrusive ad-tracking scripts.
4. Data Sovereignty & Your Rights
Through your dashboard on the Landing Platform, you have the power to:
- View: See exactly what data is stored in your local cookies.
- Purge: Clear all non-essential cookies at any time.
- Anonymize: Toggle “Ghost Mode” to interact with the HempNet Commons without persistent session tracking (though this may affect your XP accumulation).
5. Managing Your Settings
When you first enter the portal, you will encounter the Integrity Prompt. You can choose to accept the “Full Synergy” experience or customize your “Privacy Imprint.” You can revisit these settings at any time by clicking the Hexagon Icon in the footer of any platform page.
6. Updates to this Policy
As our Regenerative Intelligence (RI) evolves, we may update this protocol. Any significant changes will be submitted to The Sovereign group for a transparency audit and recorded on the public ledger.
“Your digital footprint should be as regenerative as your physical one. We ensure your data nourishes the network, rather than depleting the user.”
