Privacy Considerations on Blockchain

Blockchain technology, which underpins the services provided by the Company, is characterized by the transparency and public nature of its transactions. This transparency includes, but is not limited to, your public sending address (public key) and any additional data you might include in transactions. Once information is recorded on the blockchain, it becomes public, permanent, and challenging to remove or modify. In many instances, it‘s irreversible. Your public keys and associated data can be linked back to you now or in the future by anyone, including law enforcement agencies. If blockchain technology and its inherent public accessibility are new to you, we strongly advise conducting thorough research to fully understand these aspects before using our services.

Navigating Your Privacy Choices

Our goal is to offer you control over the information you share with us. You have the ability to adjust your browser settings to block or alert you about cookies. For managing Flash cookie settings, Adobe‘s Flash player settings page offers guidance. Be aware that blocking cookies may affect your ability to interact with certain parts of our site effectively.

Although our collection of personal information is limited, you have the option to make requests regarding your data as detailed in the “Data Requests” section.

Safeguarding Your Data

To protect your personal information against loss, unauthorized access, alteration, and disclosure, we have put in place appropriate security measures. Part of the responsibility for ensuring the safety of your data lies with you, especially regarding the confidentiality of your passwords or any private keys related to our Website or services. We urge you not to share these sensitive details with anyone.

It‘s important to note that data transmission over the internet carries inherent risks, and despite our efforts to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Transmitting personal information to our Website is done at your own risk. We cannot be held accountable for any breaches of privacy settings or security protections on our Website.

Policy Updates

We reserve the right to modify this Policy at our discretion and advise you to regularly review it for any updates. This practice ensures you remain informed about our methods for safeguarding Personal Data.

By continuing to use the Website, you acknowledge your responsibility to keep abreast of this Policy and its revisions. Your ongoing use of the Website following any updates signifies your acceptance of these changes.
