   • Contact information (such as email address, postal address, phone number);
   • Service information (such transaction activity, including frequency, size, Virtual Currency preferences);
   • Account information (such as account settings, passwords);
   • Social media data (if you choose to link your WalletCore.io account with a social media account, we may collect personal information such as name, age, gender, photograph, and other personal information relating to your social media account);
   • Billing information (such as credit, debit, or other payment card information, as may be required to use certain Services);
   • Your contacts (such Virtual Currency addresses you transact with through our Services);
   • Your preferences (including survey and marketing responses);
   • Communications you send us (such as customer support and other requests you make through our Services)
   • Promotion information (if you choose to participate in a contest, sweepstakes, or similar campaign, we will collect any information you provide in relation to such activity, such as photos, images, captions, or other content, in accordance with the terms provided at that time);
   • Other information you may provide (including other information you provide about yourself or others through our Services or to which you provide us with access via third-party platforms).
   
   You may choose not to provide some of the personal information described above. Please note, however, that many of our Services require some personal information to operate, so if you choose not to provide the personal information necessary to operate and provide you with a particular Service or feature of that Service, you may not be able to use that Service or feature.
   We do not proactively collect sensitive personal information, such as health-related information. However, our Services include text boxes that are designed for you to describe support issues and to provide us with Feedback. Please be aware that information you freely submit in these boxes may reveal to us certain information that may be considered sensitive personal information under applicable law. We do not use this information for the purpose of marketing or advertising products to you, and we do not intentionally store any such sensitive personal information. Please contact us at privacy@WalletCore.io if you believe you may have erroneously submitted any sensitive personal information to us.
   
   Personal information we generate. As you use our Services, we generate certain personal information about you, including through automatic data collection and by inferences based on the information we collect about you and your activity. We may automatically collect information about your interactions with the Services or communications you receive (such as email) using certain technologies, such as cookies, web beacons and other technologies. We generate the following categories of personal information about you (collectively “Usage Data”):
   
   • Device information. When you visit or use our Services, we automatically collect certain information about your device (e.g., your mobile device, computer, or tablet), including information about your hardware and software, device configuration, and nearby networks. Such data may include data about your device operating systems, browsers, and other software installed on your device; device identifiers, such as IP address, IMEI number, MAC address, or other device identifier; country of origin, region and language settings; and information about domain servers and wireless or network access points near your device.
   • Usage and performance information. We also automatically collect personal information about your usage of the Services, including information about your interactions with features of our Services; sites or pages visited; access times; and performance of our Services.
   • Location information. If you use our Services, we automatically collect generic location information about you (such as city or neighborhood) or, with your consent, precise geographic location data from your mobile device. For example, we may receive this information when you enter your local city in your account profile, when you are in proximity to certain beacons, or in your comments or other communications with us. We may use and store this information to provide and improve features of our Services.
   • Wallet Information If you create a WalletCore.io Wallet through our Services, you will generate private keys, and you will generate encryption keys to encrypt those private keys. Once generated, we collect the encrypted data that, when unencrypted, contains these private keys, as well as the corresponding unencrypted public keys derived from these private keys necessary for generation of Wallet addresses used by your Wallet to interface with the relevant Virtual Currency network(s). Under no circumstances do we ever collect an unencrypted private key from you, nor can we decrypt any encrypted private key data. Your Wallet address may be used to retrieve your Wallet’s transaction history from the relevant Virtual Currency network, via the WalletCore.io Services or through other third party services.
   • Inferences about you. We combine the information we collect, generate, or otherwise obtain to draw inferences about your preferences and interests in order to provide and personalize our Services and tailor the offers we and our partners provide to you.
   • Aggregate Information. We aggregate personal information collected directly from you, information generated about you by us, and information obtained from third parties (with your consent, where required) with personal information collected about other users in order to produce general statistics that cannot be linked to you or any other specific user. Information that has been aggregated and de-identified is no longer considered “personal information” and may be subsequently used for any purpose.
   • Anonymized Information. We may process information that cannot be linked to you or any other specific user using any means available to us, either because it was collected anonymously or has been subsequently anonymized. Information that is anonymous or has been anonymized is no longer considered “personal information” and may be subsequently used for any purpose.
   
   Personal Information We Obtain from Third Parties. We may also receive certain categories of personal information from third parties, such as third-party websites, applications, social media networks, and services (which may include publicly-available sources; each of these is a “third-party platform”). If you are an existing WalletCore.io customer, we will combine this information with information we collect through our Services and use and share it for the purposes described below. The categories of personal information we may obtain from third parties include:
   
   • Your name;
   • Email address or other contact information;
   • Social media data, if you connect to our Services using a social media third-party platform or interact with WalletCore.io by liking or commenting on our social media pages or content, or if any of your social media data is available to the public, we may receive information from that social media third-party platform or a third-party service about those interactions and your profile;
   • Browsing, usage and advertising details, including how you use our Services and/or third-party websites, applications, and services; and information relating to your interactions with our advertising and marketing materials; and

4. HOW WE STORE AND PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
   
   WalletCore.io maintains commercially-reasonable technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect your information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
   
   When your credit or debit card account information is being transmitted to our Services or through our Services, it will be protected by cryptographic protocols. To be clear, WalletCore.io does not itself store your credit or debit card account information, and we do not have direct control over or responsibility for your credit or debit card account information. We use third party payment processors that are the controllers of your credit card information. Our contracts with third parties that receive your credit or debit card account information require them to keep it secure and confidential.
   
   However, we cannot guarantee that transmissions of your credit or debit card account information or your other information will always be secure or that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat the security measures taken by WalletCore.io or our third-party service providers. Except to the extent that liability cannot be excluded or limited due to applicable law, we assume no liability or responsibility for disclosure of your information due to errors in transmission, unauthorized third-party access, or other causes beyond our control.
   
   You play an important role in keeping your information secure. You should not share your user name, password, or other security information for your WalletCore.io account with anyone. If we receive instructions using your user name and password, we will assume you have authorized the instructions. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (e.g., if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please contact us immediately at privacy@WalletCore.io.
   
   Retention. We may retain your personal information for as long as your account is active and for a period of time thereafter to allow you to re-activate your account without loss of information. We may also retain your personal information as necessary to:
   
   • Maintain logs and business records for analysis, security, and/or audit purposes
   • Comply with record retention requirements under the law
   • Deal with any complaints regarding the Services; and
   • Comply with our legal obligations, protect or defend our rights, resolve disputes and enforce our contracts
   
   Except where prohibited by law, we may retain your personal information beyond the end of your relationship with us but only for so long as we are contractually bound to do so, or so far as is necessary for audit, regulatory or other accounting purposes. When personal information is no longer needed we have procedures either to destroy, delete, erase or convert it to an anonymous form.
   
   After you have terminated your use of our Services, we reserve the right to maintain your personal information as part of our standard back-up procedures in an aggregated format.
   
   Once the retention period expires, information shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to data portability will not be available to you after expiration of the retention period.
   
5. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF INFORMATION
   
   We use third party cloud hosting services and payment processors that may transfer your information outside of the United States for hosting, retention, or disaster recovery purposes. These third party services are contractually required to secure any information they store, and additional safeguards have been implemented (e.g., encryption) to secure your information, but we cannot guarantee that your information will always be secure. Under ordinary circumstances, your information will be located in data centers in your geographical region in the United States to provide the Services to you with optimal latency. Any information submitted to a Virtual Currency network is completely out of WalletCore.io’s control. Accordingly, any information submitted to a Virtual Currency network by you may be transferred anywhere in the world according to the protocols of such Virtual Currency network.
