How We Share Your Data
We may share or disclose the data we collect in the limited circumstances as described below:
With regulators, government entities, and law enforcement to comply with our legal obligations
With service providers and vendors who may assist us in providing, delivering, and improving the Services (hosting provider, mailing provider, etc)
With blockchain security analytics providers to ensure the safety and security of our Services and to screen your wallet for any prior illicit activity
To enforce your agreements with us, including this Privacy Policy, and to respond to claims that your use of the Service violates any third-party rights
We require such third parties to use the personal data we share with them only for the purpose for which the data was transferred and not to retain it for longer than is required for fulfilling the said purpose.
International Data Transfers
We, along with our affiliates, subsidiaries, and trusted third-party providers, may handle your personal information in countries outside of your own. The data privacy laws in these countries may differ from, and potentially offer less protection than, those in your home country.
When transferring your personal information internationally, and in accordance with applicable legal requirements, we will implement appropriate safeguards to ensure your data is adequately protected and compliant with relevant data protection laws. For further details on how we manage international data transfers, please contact us through the information provided in the “Contact Us” section of this policy.
This section will ensure that users are informed about how their data is managed when transferred internationally, in line with the rest of the privacy policy.
Security
The security of your data is important to us, and we take reasonable security measures to prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure of your personal data under our control. The security measures in place will, from time to time, be reviewed in line with legal and technical developments.
However, given the inherent risks, we cannot guarantee absolute security and give no guarantee that such loss, misuse, 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.
Age limitations
