Privacy Policy
Effective date: May 16th, 2021

We at De.Fi know you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our Privacy Policy.

By using or accessing the Services in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent that we will collect, use, and share your information in the following ways.
What does this Privacy Policy cover?

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information ”) that we gather when you are accessing or using our Services, but not to the practices of companies we don’t own or control, or people that we don’t manage. We gather various types of Personal Information from our users, as explained in more detail below, and we use this Personal Information internally in connection with our Services, including to personalize, provide, and improve our services, to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, and to analyze how you use the Services. In certain cases, we may also share some Personal Information with third parties, but only as described below.If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence, you may use the Services only with the consent of or
under the supervision of your parent or legal guardian. Consistent with the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), if we learn that we have received any information directly from a child under age 13 without first receiving his or her parent's verified consent, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child (or his or her parent or legal guardian) to inform the child that he or she cannot use our Services and subsequently we will delete that information.

Will De.Fi ever change this Privacy Policy?

We're constantly trying to improve our Services and how we approach privacy matters, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time, but we will alert you to changes by requiring you to log in to our Services again and accept the new Privacy Policy and/or by some other means. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used.

What Information does De.Fi Collect?

Information You Provide to Us: We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us. For example, this includes information you provide when you import your Wallet such as information regarding your transactional history on a Blockchain network, information you provide each time you wish to make a transfer of Virtual Currency through the Services, or usage information, such as information about how you use the Service and interact with us. It also includes contact information you elect to provide to us, such as your email address, feedback and correspondence, such as information you provide in your responses to surveys, when you participate in market research activities, report a problem with Service, receive customer support or otherwise correspond with us, and marketing information, such your preferences for receiving marketing communications and details about how you engage with them. You should understand that, because of the nature of most Blockchain networks, your entire transactional history conducted from your Wallet is provided to us or otherwise publicly accessible and is necessary to support your usage of the Services. Information Collected Automatically: Whenever you interact with our Services, we automatically receive and record
information on our server logs from your browser or device, which may include your IP address, geolocation data, device identification, “cookie” information, the type of browser and/or device you’re using to access our Services, and the page or feature you requested. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your browser or device that allow us to recognize your browser or device and tell us how and when pages and features in our Services are visited and by how many people. You may be
able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features. If you click on a link to a third-party website or service, such third party may also transmit cookies to you. Again, this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties, and we aren’t responsible for their privacy policies and practices. Please be aware that cookies placed by third parties may continue to track your activities online even after you have left our Services, and those third parties may not honor “Do Not Track” requests you have set using your browser or device.We may use this data to customize content for you that we think you might like, based on your usage patterns. We may also use it to improve the Services - for example, this data can tell us how often users use a particular feature of the Services, and we can use that knowledge to make the Services interesting to as many users as possible.Information Collected from Other Websites and Do Not Track Policy: Through cookies we place on your browser or device,
we may collect information about your online activity after you leave our Services. Just like any other usage information we collect, this information allows us to improve the Services and customize your online experience, and otherwise as described
in this Privacy Policy. Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different websites. When you turn on the Do Not Track function in your browser, we stop collecting the information from your browser that allows us to tailor advertisements and other content specifically to you that is based on your visits to our advertising partners’ websites. Specifically, we stop collecting information from the unique browser cookie that links your browser to visits to third party sites. Do Not Track signals are set on a browser-bybrowser basis, so you must set them on every browser you use if you do not wish to be tracked. Remember that this is just our Do Not Track policy, and we can’t and don’t make any promises about how third parties react when you set this signal on your browser.Information we will never collect: We will never ask you to share your private keys to your Wallet or other security information that could be used to access your Wallet without your explicit consent and action. Never trust anyone or any site that asks you to enter your private keys or similar security information.

Will De.Fi Share Any of the Personal Information it Receives?

We do not share or sell the personal information that you provide us with other organizations without
your express consent, except as described in this Privacy Policy. We may share your Personal Information
with third parties as described below:

  • Affiliated Businesses: In certain situations, businesses or third-party websites we’re affiliated with may sell or provide products or services to you through or in connection with the Services (either alone or jointly with us). You can recognize when an affiliated business is associated with such a transaction or service, and we will share your Personal Information with that affiliated business only to the extent that it is related to such transaction or service. We have no control over the policies and practices of third-party websites or businesses as to privacy or anything else, so if you choose to take part in any transaction or service relating to an affiliated website or business, please review all such business’ or websites’ policies.
  • Our Agents: We employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you or to us.

  • Business Transfers: We may choose to buy or sell assets and may share and/or transfer customer information in connection with the evaluation of and entry into such transactions. Also, if we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Information could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.
  • Third Party Services: We may use third party services, such as Google Analytics, to grow our business, to improve and develop our Services, to monitor and analyze use of our Services, to aid our technical administration, to increase the functionality and user-friendliness of our Services, and to verify that users have the authorization needed for us to process their requests. These services may collect and retain some information about you, such as the IP address assigned to you on the date you use the Services, but not your name or other personally identifying information. We may combine the information generated through the use of these services with your Personal Information but never in a way that will identify you to any other user.

Is Personal Information about me secure?

We endeavor to protect the privacy of the Personal Information we hold in our records, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time. We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally.

Afterwards, we may retain some information in a depersonalized or aggregated form but not in a way that would identify you personally.

What Security Measures Do We Use?

We seek to protect Personal Data using appropriate technical and organizational measures based on the type of Personal Data and applicable processing activity, and, where possible, we refrain from collecting Personal Data. For example, De.Fi does not collect private key data associated with your Wallet, and we secure the Personal Data you provide in a controlled, secure environment and protected from unauthorized access. De.Fi regularly audits its system for any possible security vulnerabilities to safeguard Personal Data. De.Fi protects the security of your information during transmission by using Transport Layer Security (TSL/SSL), which encrypts all information that you input. However, your private key is the key to your Wallet. If you do share your private key or your Personal Data with others that enables them to access your private key, you remain responsible for all actions taken in the name of your Wallet. If you lose control of your private key, you may lose control over your Wallet or your Personal Data and may be subject to legally binding actions taken of your behalf
