With respect to personal data collected on the Platform, we may be considered a data controller.
In this Privacy Notice, we explain how your personal data is collected and processed. Personal data and personal information are used as synonyms and mean any information that directly or indirectly identifies you as an individual.

What Information We Collect
As a general rule, we try not to collect any personal information. If we collect personal data, we strive to comply with the data minimization principle, meaning that we endeavor to process as little personal data as possible.
We do not collect or process any personal data when you access and browse the Platform without using its functionality. The Platform does not use any analytical, marketing, statistical cookies, or any other similar tracking technologies that are not necessary to run the Platform. If we start using cookies or similar tracking technologies that are not necessary for the functioning of the Platform, we will ask for your prior consent.
To enable you to use certain functionalities of the Platform, we process the public blockchain address of your digital wallet (the “Address”) and information about certain blockchain transactions that are associated with the Address (“Transactions”).
We collect and process your Address when you connect your digital wallet to the Platform. The information regarding the Transactions is collected by us from the data available on the public blockchains.
While processing the Address and Transactions, we cannot identify you as an individual; therefore, this data is not personal. However, under applicable data protection legislation, if such data is combined with certain other data, it may be considered personal information. We will update this Privacy Notice once and if we are able to identify you as an individual.
We may also collect certain data if you reach us via the contact details indicated on the Platform. In this case, we may collect and process certain information related to your request, such as email address, name, or any other data you choose to provide us.
How We Use the Information
We use the Address and information about Transactions to ensure the operation of the Platform and to enable you to use certain functionalities of the Platform. If and to the extent that the Address and information about your Transactions are deemed personal data, the legal basis for the processing is the necessity for the performance of a contract between you and us.
The purpose for processing your personal data when you contact us is to respond to your inquiry, and the legal basis is legitimate interest to do the same.
We do not sell your data. However, we may pass your information to our third-party service providers and subcontractors for the purposes of and if it is necessary to provide the Platform and related services to you. These service providers may include, for instance, technical teams, support teams, and hosting service providers. We may also disclose your data if we are under a duty to disclose or share your data to comply with a legal obligation.
Please also consider the features of blockchain data processing described below.
Your Information and Blockchain
Please note that the Address and information related to the Transactions will be used within a decentralized blockchain network: essentially, you enter this data into the blockchain using your digital wallet each time you make a blockchain transaction or interact with blockchain smart contracts via the Platform. We do not control nor operate blockchain networks. This means that due to the structure of the blockchain network, certain rights or abilities may be limited. It also means that your Address and information regarding your Transactions are publicly available to any person who has access to the blockchain. Please be aware that any transaction within the blockchain network is irreversible and information put into the blockchain cannot be deleted or changed.
How Long We Process Your Data
Since we cannot identify you as an individual using your Address and information related to the Transactions, we do not have any storage limitation. Also, note that due to the nature of the blockchain, such information may be accessed and viewed by us or any third party at any time. We store the contact data for one (1) year from the date when you contacted us. We set this retention period during the statutes of limitations established in our Terms of Service. In case of pending legal actions, we may process the contact data longer.
