Privacy Policy
This policy describes how Sector Black handles information when you use our website, place an order, contact support, or take part in our community and referral programs.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly and technical information generated as you use the site.
- Account information — email address, password credentials handled by our authentication provider, and a display name you choose.
- Order information — items ordered, quantities, prices, order status, and order history.
- Shipping information — recipient name, street address, city, region, postal code, and country.
- Payment information — the Bitcoin address issued to your order, the amount due, and any transaction reference you submit. We never receive or store card numbers.
- Support communications — the name, email, topic, order reference, and message you submit through our support form, plus any related correspondence.
- Community information — messages, replies, and reactions you post in community channels, along with your display name and role.
- Cart and session information — cart contents and the session identifiers needed to keep you signed in.
- Device and browser information — browser, operating system, device type, approximate location derived from IP, and referring page.
- Security and site-activity logs — IP address, session identifiers, pages viewed, and related technical events.
- Referral information — referral codes used at checkout and the resulting commission records for our affiliate program.
How We Use Information
We use information to run the store and keep it secure.
- Process orders and confirm payment
- Prepare and ship your order, and provide tracking updates
- Provide customer support and respond to your requests
- Operate accounts and keep you signed in
- Maintain carts and sessions between visits
- Detect, prevent, and investigate abuse and fraud

- Measure and improve site performance and usability
- Administer referral attribution and affiliate commissions
- Maintain business records and meet applicable legal obligations
Payments
Orders are paid in Bitcoin. Each order is issued its own receiving address, and payment status is confirmed by observing the public Bitcoin network. We do not collect, process, or store debit or credit card numbers.
Information related to your payment — the address issued, amount, and confirmation state — is retained with your order record.
Analytics
We operate our own first-party analytics rather than selling data to advertisers. Technical and site-activity information — pages viewed, session duration, device and browser type, approximate location, and referral source — may be processed to understand site usage, keep the site functioning, prevent fraud, and improve performance.
Security Information
IP addresses, device and session signals, and site activity may be used to detect abuse, protect accounts, prevent fraudulent orders, and secure the platform. We may restrict access to the site where we identify abuse. We do not publish the specifics of our security controls.
Service Providers
We rely on a small number of providers to operate the platform. They may process information only as needed to provide their service.
- Hosting and application infrastructure
- Database, authentication, and file storage
- Transactional email delivery
- Shipping and delivery carriers
Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share information with the service providers above, with carriers as needed to deliver your order, and where required to comply with applicable law or to protect our rights, users, or platform.
Data Retention
We retain information for as long as needed to maintain order records, operate accounts, provide support, protect the platform against abuse, keep business records, and meet applicable legal requirements. Information no longer needed for these purposes is removed or de-identified.
Your Choices
You can update your account details from your portal, and you can ask us about the information associated with your account or orders by writing to SectorBlackLabs@proton.me. Some information must be retained for business and legal recordkeeping even after an account is closed.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information, including encrypted transport, access controls, and database-level authorization rules. No method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Age Requirement
The site is intended for qualified adults aged 21 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from minors, and accounts identified as belonging to minors are removed.
Policy Changes
We may update this policy as the platform changes. When we do, the date at the top of this page is revised. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
