Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy governs the way HODL Markets, referred to as "we," "us," or "our," collects, uses, and protects personal data when users access or interact with our website at https://app.hodlprotocol.io. We are committed to protecting your privacy and processing your data in accordance with applicable data protection regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR).
We may collect various types of personal data, including your name, email address, account login information, IP address, device data, information about how you use our site, and data collected through cookies or similar tracking technologies. This data may be obtained directly from you when you fill out a form or sign up on our platform, automatically through cookies and analytics tools, or indirectly through integrations with third-party services.
We process your personal data based on your explicit consent, when it is necessary for the performance of a contract, when we are legally obligated to do so, or where we have a legitimate interest that does not override your rights and freedoms. Your data is used to provide our services to you, improve the user experience, perform analytics and monitor platform performance, and ensure compliance with legal requirements.
In certain circumstances, we may share your data with trusted third-party service providers that help us operate our platform, such as hosting and analytics services. We may also disclose data to government authorities or regulatory bodies where required by law, or with selected partners if you have given us your permission to do so.
Because our services operate internationally, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your jurisdiction. In such cases, we implement adequate legal safeguards, such as the use of Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure your data remains protected to an equivalent legal standard.
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access your personal data, correct any inaccuracies, request its deletion, object to or restrict its processing, withdraw previously granted consent, and file a complaint with a relevant data protection authority. We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or to comply with legal obligations, after which your data will either be securely deleted or anonymized.
To protect your data, we use a range of technical and organizational security measures, including encryption, controlled access to sensitive information, and breach detection and response mechanisms. Our website uses cookies for functionality, usage analytics, and marketing optimization. You have the option to control or disable cookies through our cookie banner or your browser settings.
Our platform is not intended for children under the age of thirteen, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If it is brought to our attention that we have received such information, we will promptly delete it.
We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. If significant changes are made, we will notify users through the website and update the effective date at the top of the document.
If you have any questions or concerns about how we collect or use personal data, you may contact us by email at [Insert Email Address] or by post at [Insert Business Address].
