Public blockchain are distributed ledgers that are intended to immutably record transactions across wide networks of computer systems. Many blockchains are open to forensic analysis, which can lead to re-identification of the individuals who make transactions as well as the revelation of Personal Data, especially when blockchain data is combined with other data.

Because blockchains are decentralized or are third-party networks that are not controlled or operated by us, we are not able to erase, modify, or alter Personal Data on such networks.

If we learn that we have inadvertently processed Personal Data from a minor or child, we will take legally permissible measures to remove that data from our records. We may also require the minor user to close their account and will not allow the use of our Services or Site. If you are a parent or guardian of a minor and you become aware that a minor has provided Personal Data to us, please contact us.

11.3. Effect of Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy applies in conjunction with any other notices, contractual clauses, and consent clauses that apply relating to the collection, use, disclosure, management, and processing of your Personal Data by us.

11.4. Changes to this Privacy Policy. Please note that we may revise this Privacy Policy at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will provide notice of such changes, for example, by sending an email notification (f we have a valid email for you), providing notice through the Services, or updating the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
