4.5 With Your Consent

We may share your information for any other purpose with your consent.

5. Blockchain and Public Data

Important: All escrow transactions on XRPL are publicly recorded on the blockchain. Once a transaction is written to the ledger, it cannot be deleted or modified. This includes:

• Wallet addresses of both parties
• Transaction amounts and token types
• Timestamps and transaction hashes
• Escrow conditions and outcomes

While we do not control blockchain data, we minimize the personal information included in on-chain transactions. Your name, email, and other personal details are NOT recorded on the blockchain.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information:

• Encryption of data in transit (SSL/TLS) and at rest
• Access controls and authentication requirements
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Secure key management for API access
• Employee training on data protection practices

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to:

• Provide our services and maintain your account
• Comply with legal obligations (e.g., tax records for 7 years)
• Resolve disputes and enforce agreements
• Maintain records for audit purposes

When we no longer need your information, we will securely delete or anonymize it. Note that blockchain records are permanent and cannot be deleted.
