THIRD PARTY SERVICES
We may use third party service providers to keep, store or maintain part of your Personal Information from time to time. We will, however, use reasonable commercial endeavours to ensure any such third party service provider engaged by us to store your Personal Information will provide reasonable care and skill in the performance of their duties and services.
We may also display third party content on the Services. Third party content may use cookies, web beacons, or other mechanisms for obtaining data in connection with your viewing of and/or interacting with the third party content on the Services.
You should be aware that there is always some risk involved in transmitting information over the internet. While we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security and privacy of your Personal Information or other content you transmit using the Services, and you do so at your own risk.
Please note that we cannot control, nor will we be responsible for the Personal Information collected and processed by third parties, its safekeeping or a breach thereof, or any other act or omission pertaining to it and their compliance with applicable privacy laws or regulations. We advise you to read the respective privacy policy of any such third party and use your best discretion.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
You acknowledge that no data transmission over the internet is totally secure. Accordingly, we cannot warrant the security of any information which you transmit to us. That said, we do use certain physical, organisational, and technical safeguards that are designed to maintain the integrity and security of information that we collect.
If we engage any third party service providers to store your Personal Information from time to time, please note that we cannot control the security and privacy of the information stored with our service providers.

You need to help us prevent unauthorised access to your digital wallet, which enables access to our Website and our Services, by protecting and limiting access to your digital wallet appropriately. You will be solely responsible for keeping your digital wallet against any unauthorised use. While we seek to protect your information to ensure that it is kept confidential, we cannot absolutely guarantee its security.
Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and thus we cannot and do not guarantee the security of your data. While we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security and privacy of your Personal Information or other content you transmit using the Services, and you do so at your own risk. It is important that you maintain the security and control of your digital wallet and private keys.
HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
We will retain your Information for as long as necessary to provide our Services, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including those specific to financial transactions), resolve disputes, and enforce our policies. Retention periods will be determined taking into account the type of information that is collected and the purpose for which it is collected, bearing in mind the requirements applicable to the situation and the need to destroy outdated, unused information at the earliest reasonable time.
