This ensures that your transactional and personal data is stored securely across multiple nodes, reducing the risk of unauthorized alterations or data breaches.
User-Controlled Data: As an App User, you maintain control over your personal information through private keys and digital wallets. Your data is encrypted and accessible only by you, reducing the exposure to external threats.
Smart Contracts: We employ smart contracts, which are self-executing and tamper-proof agreements, to govern and automate transactions. These contracts enhance security by reducing the need for intermediary intervention and minimizing the risk of fraud.

DATA RETENTION
Your personal information is held and stored securely for the duration of your active account with us. We are committed to retaining your personal information only for the period necessary to fulfill the specific purposes for which it was collected. The retention periods may vary depending on the type of personal information and the purposes for which it was initially gathered. Here's an outline of our data retention practices:
YOUR RIGHTS AS DATA SUBJECT
As a User of our Services and the App, you have certain rights regarding the personal data that we collect and use. These rights are designed to provide you with control and transparency over your data. The following are your rights as a data subject:
Right to Access: You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you. This includes the right to obtain confirmation of whether we are processing your personal data and, if so, access to specific details of that processing.
Right to Rectification: If you believe that the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request the correction or completion of such data.
Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten): You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data under certain circumstances. This right is not absolute and may be subject to legal requirements or legitimate interests that override your request.
Right to Restriction of Processing: You can request the restriction of processing of your personal data in certain situations. This means that we will limit the way in which we use your data, but we may continue to store it.
Right to Data Portability: In some cases, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another data controller.
Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, including for direct marketing purposes or when we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis for processing.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making and Profiling: We commit to transparent and fair automated decision-making processes. If you are subject to automated decision-making that produces legal effects or significantly affects you, you have the right to request human intervention and reconsideration of the decision.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of the rights outlined above or if you have any questions or concerns regarding the processing of your personal data, please contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) at [email protected]. Our DPO will assist you in addressing your data-related inquiries and ensuring that your rights as a data subject are respected and upheld.
You will not be charged a fee for accessing your personal data or exercising any of the rights outlined above. In the rare event that your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee. This fee, if applicable, will be based on the administrative costs associated with processing your request. Alternatively, we may choose to refuse to comply with your request in these exceptional circumstances. If such a situation arises, we will provide a clear and transparent explanation for our decision. Please note that we will always act in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations when assessing the reasonableness of any fees or the validity of requests.
Under the GDPR, we are committed to responding promptly to legitimate requests regarding your personal data. The statutory period for us to reply to such requests is one month from the date of receipt. However, in situations where the request is particularly complex or there is a high volume of requests, we may extend this period by up to two further months as necessary. This extension will be based on a careful consideration of the complexity and number of requests received.
DATA TRANSFERS OUTSIDE EU/EEA
As some of our business partners, vendors and service providers are located outside of the European Union or European Economic Area, we may need to transfer your personal data to countries outside of the EU/EEA zone.
We take stringent measures to ensure that such transfers are conducted in compliance with applicable data protection laws and that your data remains adequately protected.
Transfers to and from Processors in Countries with Adequacy Decisions Some of our data processing activities may involve transfers to and from data processors located in countries that have received adequacy decisions from the European Commission. Adequacy decisions confirm that these countries provide a level of data protection that is deemed equivalent to EU/EEA standards. When such transfers occur, your data is adequately protected by the recipient's legal framework.
Transfers from and to Other Countries
In cases where data is transferred to countries that do not have adequacy decisions or other recognized mechanisms, we utilize Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as provided by the European Commission. SCCs are a set of contractual terms and conditions approved by the European Commission, providing a framework for the lawful transfer of personal data that impose data protection obligations on both parties involved in the data transfer and ensuring that your data remains protected according to EU/EEA standards. These clauses include provisions that require the recipient to provide an adequate level of data protection.
We are committed to ensuring that all international transfers of your personal data are conducted with the utmost care and in compliance with relevant data protection regulations.
If you have any questions or concerns about international data transfers or the mechanisms we employ to protect your data, please do not hesitate to contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) at [email protected].
