We will maintain and use de-identified information in anonymous or de-identified form, and we will not attempt to re-identify the information, unless required by law.

Disclosure of Your Information:

We may disclose aggregated information and information that does not directly identify any individual about our users without restriction. We may disclose Personal Information that you provide to us as described in this Privacy Policy:

• To our subsidiaries and affiliates;
• To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our Website and services;

This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection, credit risk reduction, or identifying malicious actors using our products or blockchain networks generally.

We do not sell your Personal Information to third-parties for monetary compensation.

Privacy & The Blockchain:

A key feature of many blockchain technologies is the transparency and public accessibility of on-chain transactions. This includes but is in no way limited to your public sending address (“public key”) and any other information that you choose to include. Additionally, information stored on-chain may be public, immutable, and not easily removed or deleted and, in many cases, cannot be deleted. Your public addresses may reveal information about you and this information can potentially be correlated now or in the future by any party who chooses to do so, including law enforcement. If you're not yet familiar with how blockchain technology works, especially its transparent and public characteristics, we recommend you explore this topic further. This understanding is crucial if you plan to engage with any future rewards or ownership systems that may involve blockchain transactions.

Your Choices:

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the Personal Information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:

• Tracking Technologies and Advertising. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. To learn how you can manage your Flash cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe’s website. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.
• Promotional Offers from the Company. If you do not wish to have your email address used by the Company to promote our own or third parties’ products or services, you can opt-out by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of such an email that we send you.

Data Security:

We have implemented measures designed to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. This applies to any private keys you may use in relation to our Website or our services. We ask you not to share your password or private keys with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.
