4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

  • With Your Consent: We may share your information for any other purpose with your consent.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include encryption, firewalls, and secure socket layer (SSL) technology. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In the crypto industry, we are particularly mindful of security risks. We do not store private keys or seed phrases, and we encourage you to use hardware wallets and practice good security hygiene.
