Such technical data may be used for administrative purposes to assess the usage, value and performance of our online products and services and with a view of improving user experience.

The Personal Data we collect is required for legal, compliance or security purposes. Where possible, we shall inform you of the specific purpose for which such Personal Data is being collected.
We may use the Personal Data collected on our Website for the following purposes:
In order to access/utilize our services, you need to voluntarily provide us with your Personal Data. It may be absolutely impossible for us to provide you with certain products and services in the absence of certain key Personal Data about yourself, including your identity document, email, name and telephone number. You acknowledge that if you withdraw your consent for us to process your Personal Data, then you acknowledge that we may exercise any rights we may have to refrain from or discontinue providing you with any or all of our services.
In the course of utilizing our services, you may have to disclose Personal Data relating to third parties (such as your director or employee). When making such disclosure to us, you represent to us that you have the authority to disclose such Personal Data for the purpose for which it may be required or any other purpose as mentioned in this Privacy Policy.
Our services are not directed at persons under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you become aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data without your consent, please contact us. We shall only process Personal Data of a child under the age 18 only where consent is given or authorized by the child’s parent or guardian. If we become aware that a child under the age of 18 has provided us with Personal Data without consent, we shall delete such information from our files, including any accounts that may have been created.
We do not sell Users’ Personal Data to third parties. We do, however, work with a number of trusted third parties who perform vital functions as part of our operations.
In addition to AWS and Hubspot, we work with (among others) providers of hosting services for our Website, electronic signature providers, electronic payment service providers and other service providers who provide information technology and system administration services to us.

Please also be aware that the use of the Website, based on public blockchains, is intended to immutably record transactions across wide networks of computer systems. Many blockchains are open to forensic analysis which can lead to deanonymization and the unintentional revelation of Personal Data, in particular when blockchain data is combined with other data. Because blockchains are decentralized or third-party networks which are not controlled or operated by us, we are not able to erase, modify, or alter Personal Data from such networks.

For the residents of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or United Kingdom (“UK”) (collectively, the “EEA/UK Users”), we shall process your Personal Data in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679/EU (“GDPR”). IX Swap will be the Data Controller (as defined under GDPR) and in certain circumstances, EEA/UK Users will have certain rights, including the following:
The GDPR gives EEA/UK Users the right to find out whether we are processing their Personal Data and, where that is the case, to receive a copy of the Personal Data we process. We will endeavor to provide EEA/UK Users with an account of their Personal Data in our possession or control within a reasonable time. Such accounts shall be in respect of how their Personal Data has been or may have been generally used or disclosed.
We reserve the right to charge EEA/UK Users a reasonable administrative fee for carrying out such a request. Where EEA/UK Users’ Personal Data is inseparable from the Personal Data of other Users, we reserve the right to withhold EEA/UK Users’ Personal Data if permitted by applicable law.
EEA/UK Users have the right to request to amend any of their Personal Data at any time if inaccurate. If any of their Personal Data is incomplete, EEA/UK Users have the right to have such Personal Data rectified. EEA/UK Users also have the right to require us to delete their Personal Data as soon as possible, by emailing us at privacy@ixswap.io, in one of the following circumstances:
Please note that it may take up to thirty (30) working days for any such request to be reflected in our systems.
EEA/UK Users have the right to request to restrict the processing of Personal Data if EEA/UK Users object to us processing their Personal Data and we have no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing or EEA/UK Users think that such Personal Data is inaccurate, that we are processing such Personal Data unlawfully, or that we no longer need such Personal Data for the purposes for which such Personal Data was collected. While we consider such a request, we will stop processing such Personal Data within a reasonable time from the date we receive the request. We will notify EEA/UK Users of our decision and any justifications for continuing to process such Personal Data as soon as we can.
If we process EEA/UK Users’ Personal Data with such EEA/UK Users’ consent, such EEA/UK Users have the right to withdraw their consent at any time. This will not affect the legality of our processing of such Personal Data up until the point at which consent was withdrawn. Please also note that we may still need to process such Personal Data on other grounds, for example to fulfill a contract with such EEA/UK Users or as required by law.
EEA/UK Users have the right to object, at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of their Personal Data. If we cannot demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing such Personal Data, such processing will cease.
EEA/UK Users have the right to request that we transfer their Personal Data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to them, under certain conditions.
We have appointed a data protection officer and if you wish to withdraw your consent to any or all use of your Personal Data, or request any amendment to, or restriction or erasure of, such Personal Data, or exercise any other of your rights, please contact privacy@ixswap.io.
Do note that if you withdraw your consent to any or all use of your Personal Data or request for erasure of your Personal Data, depending on the nature of your request, we may not be in a position to continue to provide services to you, or administer any contractual relationship already in place between you and us. Any withdrawal of consent or request to erase your Personal Data may also result in the termination of any agreement you may have with us. Our legal rights and remedies in such an event are expressly reserved.
You may make a request to access and be supplied with a copy of your Personal Data kept by us. However, we may refuse any such request if there are reasons to do so, in accordance with the applicable laws.
By giving or making available your Personal Data, you expressly agree and consent to the collection, use, processing and disclosure of your Personal Data in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy, including but not limited to, consenting and receiving communications and materials from us from time to time.
This Privacy Policy shall be construed in accordance with the laws of The Bahamas. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Privacy Policy shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of The Bahamas.
