You can exercise these rights by writing to us using the contact details below. For this matter we may ask you to provide us with additional information or documents to prove your identity. These rights may include the following:
In certain circumstances, we may disclose your information with third parties with your consent, as necessary, or as otherwise required or permitted by law. Specifically, we may disclose your personal data:
Your personal information may be transferred to and stored or processed in countries outside the jurisdiction in which you live and reside, including outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and United Kingdom (“UK”), and including to the U.S., in order to provide the Services. Your personal information may also be processed by staff operating outside the UK/EEA who work for us or for third-party service providers or partners. We will take steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy and applicable data protection laws. Should we transfer your personal information to third parties located outside the EEA/UK, we will seek to put in place appropriate safeguards to ensure that this transfer occurs in accordance with applicable data protection laws. These measures include seeking entry into the standard contractual clauses (“SCCs”) approved by the European Commission (for transfers outside the EEA) and/or an international data transfer agreement/addendum to the SCCs approved by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”) (for transfers outside the UK), unless the data transfer is to a country that has been determined by the European Commission or the relevant UK authorities, as applicable, to provide an adequate level of protection for individuals’ rights and freedoms for their personal data.
We will retain your personal data only for so long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements, or as otherwise required by law. The length of time we retain your data will depend on the nature of the data and the purpose for which it was processed. We expect to delete your personal data (at the latest) once there is no longer any legal or regulatory requirement or legitimate business purpose for retaining your data.
Persons under the age of eighteen (18) are not permitted to use the Services, and we do not seek to or knowingly collect any personal data about children under thirteen (13) years of age (or sixteen (16) years of age for individuals in the EEA/UK). If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected information about any person under eighteen (18) years of age, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to delete such personal data and other information from our records.
We take reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, including implementing appropriate security measures. The security measures in place will, from time to time, be reviewed in line with legal and technical developments. However, we give no guarantee that such misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure will not occur. You are responsible for all of your activity on the Services, including the security of your blockchain network addresses, cryptocurrency wallets, and their cryptographic keys.
