⚠️ We value the privacy of visitors to the AquaBank ecosystem and any services linked to this Policy. This Privacy Policy, hereinafter referred to as the “Policy,” has been prepared to transparently explain the types of information collected from users of interfaces within the ecosystem and how such information is used. Given the nature of decentralized finance, please be aware of the public nature of on-chain data and review this Policy carefully.

### Article 4. Data Immutability Specific to Decentralized Ecosystems 🚨

This ecosystem service operates on public blockchains, including but not limited to the Avalanche C-Chain. Due to the decentralized nature of blockchain ledgers, wallet addresses and transaction histories are transparently disclosed and permanently preserved.

Accordingly, we expressly notify users that the general right to delete personal information cannot technically be applied to data recorded on-chain.

***

### Article 5. Third-Party Services and Responsibility for Wallet Security

We do not control your personal wallet, such as MetaMask, and we do not collect or store recovery phrases, seed phrases, or private keys. You are solely responsible for securely managing your wallet credentials. If such credentials are lost, we cannot intervene in the recovery of your assets.

In addition, data transmission over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, you assume the risks associated with transmitting information online.

***

### Article 6. Retention Period of Information and User Rights

For off-chain data, we retain information only for the period necessary to provide the service and comply with legal obligations. Once the purpose of collection and use has been fulfilled, such information will be destroyed without undue delay.

Subject to applicable laws, you have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of processing of your off-chain information held by us, such as email addresses and certain technical data.

However, blockchain on-chain data described in Article 4 is excluded from these rights due to its technical immutability.

***

### Article 7. Prohibition on Use by Minors and Cross-Border Transfers

This ecosystem is not intended for individuals under the age of 18, and individuals below this age are not permitted to use the service.

In addition, for the provision of global services, your information may be transferred to and processed on servers located outside your country of residence, including countries where data protection regulations may differ from those of your country.

***

### Article 8. Changes to this Policy and Contact Information

We may update this Policy from time to time in response to changes in applicable laws and regulations or modifications to ecosystem features. Any material changes will be announced through the website. If you continue to use the service after such changes, you will be deemed to have agreed to the revised Policy.

For inquiries regarding this Policy or to exercise your rights, please contact us through the designated official email address, to be provided later, or through the official communication channel.
