HOW YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IS USED

The primary purpose for collecting your Information is to provide you with the best possible user experience and Services and to safeguard the security and stability of our systems.

For each of the purposes for which we process information, we rely on the following legal justifications:

(a) Contractual Necessity – we rely on this justification where we process your personal information in order to discharge contractual obligations we owe you for the purpose of service delivery.
(b) Legitimate Business Interest – we rely on this justification where we need to process your personal information in order to meet our own requirement to operate, manage, and develop our business or to safeguard the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party (provided there is a balance between your interests and our interests). A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information.

SHARING OF INFORMATION

We will never sell or rent your personal information. We will only share your Information if and to the extent appropriate or necessary to do so for one or more of the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or the Subscription Agreement and will ensure that the sharing of such Information is kept to the minimum necessary. The extent to which we share your Information will vary depending on your circumstances and your relationship with us but we may share your Information with one or more of the following categories of recipients:

with our current or future parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries and with other companies under common control or ownership with us or our offices internationally;
with advisors, sub-contractors, consultants, agents, service providers or other third parties that we have partnered with or perform work for us and those who support our business operations;
with those who provide ancillary services which complement the Services we provide;
with users of interactive areas of the Website or our social media platforms like our online forums if you choose to share or display your personal information on them publicly, such as your username and any content you post;

with government departments and agencies, law enforcement officials, regulators, courts, tribunals or other third parties when we are compelled to do so by a subpoena, court order, or similar legal procedure or request, or when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of Information is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity, to investigate violations of our Subscription Agreement or any other applicable policies or if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law, regulation or legal process; and
with third parties where aggregate Information is disclosed which cannot be reasonably be used to identify you.
We use reasonable efforts to ensure that third parties we partner with are bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy or a similar policy. Your Information may be transferred to or accessed by the recipients described above from countries located anywhere in the world. Such countries may have different and potentially less stringent standards relating to data protection than your country. In these cases, we will, whenever possible, take all appropriate steps that are within our control to ensure that adequate legal safeguards are in place for your personal information which are shared with such recipients. By using our Services, you consent to your Information being transferred to other countries, including countries that have differing levels of privacy and data protection laws than your country. In all such transfers, we will protect and process your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

HYPERLINKS AND THIRD-PARTY SITES

The Website may contain links to other third-party websites that may collect personal information about you, including through cookies or other technologies. If you link to another website, you will leave the Website and this Privacy Policy will not apply to your use of and activity on those other websites. You should consult these other websites’ privacy policies as we have no control over them and are not responsible for any information that is submitted to or collected by these third parties.

PRIVACY WHEN USING DIGITAL ASSETS AND BLOCKCHAINS

Your transactions involving digital assets may be recorded on a public blockchain. Public blockchains are distributed ledgers, intended to immutably record transactions across wide networks of computer systems. Many blockchains are open to forensic analysis which can lead to deanonymization and the unintentional revelation of private financial information, especially when blockchain data is combined with other data.
Because blockchains are decentralized or third-party networks which are not controlled or operated by us, we are not able to erase, modify, or alter personal data from such networks.

MARKETING AND ONLINE COMMUNICATION

We require your consent to send you marketing communications (for example: email marketing, exclusive offers, etc.).
If you are a new customer, we will contact you by electronic means (email or SMS) for marketing purposes only if you have consented to such communication. If you are a current customer, we will only contact you by electronic means with information about our Services that are similar to those which were the subject of a previous sale or negotiations of a sale to you.
You can opt out of our marketing communications anytime. However, certain electronic communication between us and you is necessary for usage of our Services including login notifications and 2-Factor Authentication. We highly recommend that you do not turn off 2-Factor Authentication as this provides the maximum amount of security for your account.
If you chose not to consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy or opt out of receiving notifications from us that makes it difficult or impractical for us to provide Services to you, we will grant you a period of up to 10 business days from the moment you do not consent or opt out to move your assets to an external digital wallet of your choosing and close your account.

PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We take reasonable administrative, physical and electronic measures designed to safeguard and protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. This includes utilizing Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts the personal information you input, and storing your personal information in encrypted form behind a firewall designed to block access from outside our network. However, no security or encryption method can be guaranteed to protect information from hackers or human error, no computer security system is entirely foolproof and the Internet is not a secure method of transmitting information. As a result, we do not assume any responsibility for the data you submit to or receive from us through the Internet or for any unauthorized access or use of that information and we cannot and do not guarantee that personal information communicated by you to us or sent to you by us will be received or that it will not be altered before or after its transmission to us.
We cannot guarantee that loss, misuse, unauthorized acquisition, or alteration of your Information will not occur. Please recognize that you play a vital role in protecting your own Information. When providing information on the Website or accessing or using our Services, you should choose a password of sufficient length and complexity, not reveal this password to any third parties, and to immediately notify us if you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account.
Furthermore, we cannot ensure or warrant the security or confidentiality of Information you transmit to us or receive from us by Internet or wireless connection, including email, phone, or SMS, since we have no way of protecting that Information once it leaves and until it reaches us. If you have reason to believe that your data is no longer secure, please contact us.

RETENTION PERIOD OF DATA

Information we collect may be stored or processed on computers located in any country. We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting obligations or to resolve disputes. This is a case-by-case determination that depends on things such as the nature of the data, why it is collected and processed, and relevant legal or operational retention needs. For example, we may retain certain information for accounting and security purposes even after our business relationship with you has ceased.

RIGHTS YOU HAVE WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You have certain individual rights regarding the personal information that we collect and process about you through the Website.
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies as a default. You may wish to opt out by turning off cookies (please refer to the help menu on your browser); however, switching off cookies may restrict your use of the Website.
You may also opt out of receiving promotional communications from us at any time by following the instructions in those communications. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as technical notices, support or administrative notifications or information about your account (if you have one).
Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, you may have certain legal rights in respect of the personal information which is processed by us including the right to:
access or receive certain data about the personal information we process about you;
have your personal information corrected, updated, rectified or deleted;
object to the processing of your personal information or ask us to restrict processing of your personal information;
withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal information; and
not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing of your personal information, including profiling, which produces legal or similarly significant effects on you, save for the exceptions applicable under relevant data protection laws.
If applicable data protection laws apply, you may also have the right to receive a copy of your personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format for the purpose of transferring such information to a third party subject to a reasonable fee associated with the work required by us to gather the information.
Please note, however, that your rights are subject to certain exceptions and conditions. Specifically, we may need to further process and retain your Information to perform a contract with you or your company or organization, to protect our legitimate interests (such as the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims) or to comply with legal requirements. To the extent permitted by law, namely to protect the rights and freedoms of others or to protect our own legitimate interests, we may therefore refuse to satisfy your request or we may satisfy your request only on a restricted basis.
You may withdraw your consent to the processing of your Information. However, if there is another legitimate basis for processing your Information, the Information may be processed without your consent.
Lastly, you have a right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.
If you wish to exercise any of your rights, you should contact us.

If we are unable to satisfactorily address your concerns, you have the right to communicate with a relevant supervisory authority. We can direct you to the relevant supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.
