What is the scope of this privacy policy?
Intergalactic Network Inc is strongly committed to your privacy. We respect the privacy of our website visitors and our Click app users.
With this Privacy Policy, we (meaning Intergalactic Network Inc International and our subsidiaries; hereafter “Intergalactic Network Inc,” “we,” “us,” “our”) want to inform you why and how we may process your personal information, when and why we could share your personal data, and your rights and choices to control your personal data in accordance with the applicable laws.

Who we are?
Intergalactic Network Inc is a wireless network connecting and securing the next trillion Internet of Things using smartphones and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
We also provide Click that is the world’s first digital trust network to authenticate content and combat misinformation plus fake news. Click confirms content is real and actually happened at a specific location, time, and via a specific device and camera. Click leverages the blockchain to create a unique cryptographic signature. The blockchain’s immutability ensures that once data is recorded, it cannot be altered or tampered with. This makes it a secure and reliable way to store content and its credentials. By signing content with Click and recording it on the blockchain, a public record is created that can be verified by anyone. Only signed content can be publicly shared, anyone viewing the content can verify the content’s authenticity easily via Click’s public website and mobile app.
Click supports The Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) which addresses the prevalence of misleading information online through the development of technical standards for certifying the source and history (or provenance) of media content.
