With Service Providers:

We engage third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, customer support, and email delivery. These providers will have access to your information only to the extent necessary to perform their functions and are obligated to maintain its confidentiality.

For Legal Reasons:

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).

In Case of Business Transfers:

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

Aggregated or Anonymized Data:

We may share aggregated or anonymized data that does not directly identify you with third parties for research, analysis, philanthropic reporting, or other business purposes.

Public Ledger:

The XRPL is a public and immutable ledger. Transactions recorded on it are publicly visible. While these transactions are pseudonymous (linked to wallet addresses, not your real identity), certain patterns or associations could potentially be used to infer information.

No Personal Data on Chain (Directly):

We strive to ensure that personally identifiable information (PII) is not directly stored on the public XRPL. Your name, email, etc., will be kept off-chain in our secure databases. Only your XRPL wallet address and transactional data (e.g., token transfers) will typically reside on the blockchain.

Immutability:

Once data is recorded on the blockchain, it generally cannot be altered or deleted. This has implications for "right to erasure" (right to be forgotten) requests under data protection laws. We manage your off-chain personal data to comply with such rights, but data already immutably recorded on the XRPL cannot be removed.

Account Data:

We retain your account information as long as your account is active. If you close your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data, subject to any legal obligations to retain certain information (e.g., for financial records related to token rewards).

Usage Data:

We retain usage data for a shorter period, typically for analytics and operational purposes, unless a longer retention period is required for security or legal compliance.

Blockchain Data:

As mentioned, data recorded on the XRPL is immutable and will persist indefinitely on the blockchain itself.

Right to Access:

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

Right to Rectification:

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information we hold about you.

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten):

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., legal obligations, data on the immutable blockchain).

Right to Restrict Processing:

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information under certain circumstances.

Right to Data Portability:

You have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.

Right to Object:

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal information under certain circumstances, particularly where processing is based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.

Right to Withdraw Consent:

Where we rely on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Right to Lodge a Complaint:

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe our processing of your personal information infringes applicable data protection laws.
