In addition, personal data may include your social media handle and related information, transaction data or history (such as your blockchain transaction history and other information associated with a linked address or Wallet), certain information needed to transfer or allocate tokens, marketing data (such as preferences for receiving marketing communications and related details), token holdings, and any other information collected through the Services. Should you contact us, we will collect the content of the communications we have with you and any personal data contained within.

We process this information to perform our contract with you, such as to provide you with our Services.

The processing of this data is carried out for the purpose of enabling your access to, use of, connection to, and interaction with the Services, including (i) to facilitate your connection to the Website, (ii) to identify if you are likely to be a Prohibited Person, as defined in our general Terms of Use, or if you are subject to any prohibitions with respect to the Services; and/or (iii) to verify your identity, identifying information, certain facts with respect to your identity or identifying information, and location to determine eligibility for certain Services. Each case with respect to any of (i), (ii), and/or (iii) is in order for us to perform our contract with you and in our legitimate interests to provide effective Services to you.

We may also process this data in our legitimate interests to provide effective Services to you by processing the data to assist system security and stability for provision of the Services, to conduct troubleshooting, data analytics, testing, and research, and to enable optimization and internal statistical analysis with respect to the Services, as well as to maintain the safety and security of our users, the Website, our Services and business and to improve and develop our Services and Website.

Finally, the Organization may use cookies, web beacons/clear gifs, geolocation and tracking technologies, and other applications when you visit the Website, including technologies collecting certain information about your access to, use of, connection to, or interaction with the Services ("Usage Data") that may be integrated with third-party service providers.

With your consent, we may use any data collected, including Usage Data, to tailor features and content to you and to ensure content is presented in the most effective manner for you and your device and to run analytics and better understand your user experience with respect to the Services and, if you have opted into marketing, for marketing purposes.

In addition to the foregoing, we may use any of your information to comply with any applicable legal obligations, to enforce any applicable terms of service, and to protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or others.

Wallets are not maintained or supported by, or associated or affiliated with, the Organization. We expressly disclaim any and all liability for actions arising from your use of third-party Wallets, including but without limitation, actions relating to the use and/or disclosure of personal information by such third-party Wallets.

Under applicable data protection laws, you may have certain rights in relation to your personal data. These rights may include the following:
