Privacy & The Blockchain

Blockchain technology is characterized by its transparency and the public nature of transactions. This includes, but is not limited to, your public sending address (public key) and any additional information you voluntarily provide. It's important to note that once information is recorded on a blockchain, it becomes public, permanent, and challenging to alter or remove. In many cases, it is impossible to delete.

Your public addresses can disclose personal details, and this data could be linked to your identity now or in the future by anyone, including law enforcement agencies. If you are not already knowledgeable about the transparent and public features of blockchain technology, we strongly recommend that you research this area. A thorough understanding is essential if you intend to participate in any activities involving blockchain transactions, such as reward systems or ownership models.

Your Choices

We are committed to providing you with control over your Personal Information. Below are the mechanisms we have put in place to allow you to manage how your information is used:

• You have the option to configure your browser settings to reject all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. For managing settings for Flash cookies, you can visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe’s website. Please be aware that if you disable or refuse cookies, certain parts of our site may become inaccessible or not function correctly.

• If you prefer not to receive marketing emails from us or do not want us to use your email address to promote our own or third parties' products or services, you can opt out by using the “unsubscribe” link located at the bottom of our marketing emails.

Data Security

We have implemented strategies aimed at protecting your Personal Information against accidental loss and unauthorized access, alteration, and disclosure. However, the security of your information also relies on your actions. For areas of our Website that require a password or where you might use private keys in connection with our services, it is crucial that you keep these credentials confidential. We advise you not to share your password or private keys with anyone.

Please be aware that no method of transmitting information over the internet is completely secure. While we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot assure the absolute security of information sent to our Website. Therefore, any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. Additionally, we are not liable for any breaches of privacy settings or security measures on our Website.
