Important Privacy-Related Information Re-garding Blockchain Technology
In addition to any information that is stored on computers which the Company or its subsidiaries, affiliates or service providers maintain, the Services may also record data on various distributed public blockchain networks which are replicated over tens of thousands of computer systems across the globe. Given the na-ture of blockchain technology, once a transaction has been added to the blockchain ledger and verified, it is impossible for you, us, or anyone to delete or modify that data, and it will remain on the blockchain ledger forever. In using the Services, you acknowledge that you understand and accept the fact that your data may be permanently recorded on one or more public blockchains and that it will not be possible to modify or delete that data even though the privacy laws of your jurisdiction might otherwise require such data to be modified or deleted.
How We Protect and Secure Your Information
We take safeguarding your information seriously. We will take reasonable administrative, physical, and electronic measures to help protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, unautho-rized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. All that said, no method of transmitting or storing information over the Internet is completely secure. With that in mind, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. We are not responsible for any interception or interruption of any communications through the internet or for changes to or losses of data. Users of the Ser-vices are responsible for maintaining the security of any pass-word, user ID or other form of authentication involved in obtaining access to password protected or secure areas of any of our digital services. We retain information we collect as long as it is necessary and relevant to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy. In addition, we retain Personal Information to comply with applicable law where required, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigation, enforce our Terms of Use, and other actions permitted by law. To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purpos-es through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. In those cases where we aggregate information about our users (so that it cannot be associated with you or any other individual), and collect information that does not identify any individual (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, plat-form types, number of clicks, etc.) we may store and use this in-formation indefinitely without further notice to you.
