In addition, our Website may also include integrated content or links to content provided by third parties (such as live chat, social media content, plug-ins and applications) – see the section entitled “Third party  services and content” below.

How we use the information we collect

We may use the information we collect:

• to conduct know-your-client and anti-money laundering and other sanctions checks (or to verify those carried  out by third party sources);
• to provide you with our services and other services that you request including, as applicable, supplying, and  processing your payment for Tokens and any other services to be provided to you;

Further, we may aggregate personal and other data captured through our Website so that the data is no longer capable  of identifying an individual. We reserve the right to use this aggregated information for the purposes of improving and  enhancing our services, generating insights, for use in marketing to other users and current and potential partners and  otherwise for the purposes of our business. Provided that such aggregated data does not directly or indirectly identify  you as an individual, this data is not considered to be personal information for the purpose of this Notice.

How we may share the information we collect

We may share the personal information we collect with our current or future affiliated entities, as explained at the  beginning of this Notice.

We may also disclose information we collect:

• To our partners and third party service providers that perform services on our behalf such as marketing  companies, web-hosting companies, analytics providers and information technology providers. In these  circumstances contractual and other technical and security safeguards will be put in place with the partner or service provider, including to ensure that your personal information is processed only in accordance with this  Notice.
• To law enforcement, other government authorities, or third parties (within or outside the jurisdiction in which  you reside) as may be permitted or required by the laws of any jurisdiction that may apply to us, as provided  for under contract, as we deem reasonably necessary to provide legal services or if we believe your actions are  inconsistent with our agreements and policies. In these circumstances, we will take reasonable efforts to notify  you before we disclose information that may reasonably identify you or your organisation, unless prior notice  is prohibited by applicable law or is not possible or reasonable in the circumstances.  
• To service providers, advisors, potential transactional partners, or other third parties in connection with the  consideration, negotiation, or completion of a transaction in which we are acquired by or merged with another  company or we sell, liquidate, or transfer all or a portion of our assets. Upon completion of such a transaction,  your personal information will continue to be processed in accordance with this Notice, except as otherwise  agreed by you or permitted by applicable law.
• To partners, financial institutions or service providers who may request such information in connection with  providing services to us, including banking services, and only where we enter into an agreement with such  institutions to limit their use and handling of personal information in accordance with this Notice.
• To fund managers, brokers, sponsors and market makers, registrars, listing agents;
• To our employees where required or necessary for the performance of their duties and in line with the reasons for processing. Our employees are required to keep that information confidential and are not permitted to use  it for any purposes other than to enable you to use the Services or to deal with requests which you submit to  us.

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share personal information that reasonably identifies you or your organization with  unaffiliated entities for their independent use except as expressly described in this Notice or with your prior permission.  We may share information that does not reasonably identify you or your organization as permitted by applicable law.

When you voluntarily make your personal information available online in an environment shared by third parties (for  example, on messaging applications, social media, message boards, web logs, or emails), that personal information may  be viewed, saved, collected, heard, used and/or shared by others outside of Peccala. We are not responsible for any  unauthorized third party use of information provided in these contexts. Please be mindful whenever you share any  information in such environments.

Grounds for using your personal information

We rely on the following legal grounds to process your personal information, namely:

• Necessity for performance of a contract – We may need to collect and use your personal information to enter  into a contract with you or to perform a contract that you have with us, for example, when you provide personal  information to us to purchase Tokens;
• Legal obligation – We may process your personal information as may be required to comply with any legal or  regulatory obligations that may apply to us, for instance under anti-money laundering and sanctions regimes.
• Legitimate interests – We may use your personal information for our legitimate interests to improve our  services. Consistent with our legitimate interests and any consents that may be required under applicable laws,  we may use technical information as described in this Notice and use personal information for our marketing  purposes provided that those interests are not outweighed by your interests, rights and freedoms.
• Consent - To withdraw your consent to such use, you can contact privacy@peccala.com. The electronic  marketing communications we send to you also contain opt-out mechanisms that allow you to opt-out from  receiving those communications, update your contact information or change your preferences at any time. You  may be able to disable the sharing of location information in your browser settings. Where required by  applicable laws, we will rely on your consent for direct marketing and to collect information from your device  or computer.  

Third party services and content

Our Website may include integrated content or links to content provided by third parties (such as video materials, social  media content, plug-ins and applications).  

Please note that the websites, applications and services of third parties (including affiliates, partners, sponsors,  advertisers or other persons) will be governed by the privacy settings, policies, and/or procedures of the third party,  which may differ from this Notice. This Notice does not address, and we are not responsible for or able to control, the  privacy, security, or other practices of such third parties.  

Protection and storage of the information we collect

We deploy administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to comply with applicable legal requirements and  to safeguard the information that we collect. This includes, when required or appropriate and feasible, obtaining written assurances from third parties that may access your personal information that they will protect the information with  safeguards designed to provide a level of protection equivalent to that adopted by Peccala.

However, no information system can be 100% secure. So, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your  information. Moreover, we are not responsible for the security of information you transmit to us over networks that we  do not control, including the internet and wireless networks.

We may store the information we collect on our servers both cloud based or in servers located in countries where we  or our service providers have facilities. Therefore, we may transfer information to countries outside of your country of  residence which may have data protection laws and regulations that differ from those in your country.

We retain the information we collect for no longer than is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we  collect the information and to comply with our legal obligations.

Your choices and rights

To withdraw your consent to the use of your information as described in this Notice you can contact us through the  methods stated below. Please note that in some circumstances this may mean that we can no longer provide our services  to you.  

If you no longer wish to receive marketing communications from us, you can let us know via through the methods stated below, or by using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our marketing emails. The electronic marketing communications we send to you also contain opt-out mechanisms that allow  you to opt-out from receiving those communications, update your contact information or change your preferences at  any time. We will honor your choice and refrain from sending you such announcements. You may also opt back in to  receive those communications at any time.  

Under local law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information that we have collected, including that  EU residents have the right to request: (i) access to your personal information, (ii) rectification or erasure of personal  information, (iii) restriction of processing concerning you, (iv) objection to processing that is based upon our legitimate  interests, and (v) data portability to other service providers. Your ability to exercise these rights will depend on a number of factors and, in some instances, we will not be able to comply with your request, for example because we have legitimate grounds for not doing so or where the right doesn’t apply to the particular information we hold on you. Where so entitled to access to your personal information, you will not have to pay a fee unless your request is clearly unfounded,  repetitive or excessive (upon which we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to comply with your request). If you would  like to discuss or exercise the rights you may have, you can contact us through the methods stated below.  

It is important that any personal information we hold about you is accurate and current

Please keep us informed if your personal information changes whilst we continue to retain such information. We  encourage you to contact us to update or correct your information if it changes or if you believe that any information  that we have collected about you is inaccurate or out of date. You can also ask us to see what personal information we  hold about you and to erase your personal information if it is no longer required. You may also tell us if you object to  our use of your personal information.
