Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy (this “Privacy Policy”) describes how 5ire Explorer and its affiliates (“5ire”) collect, use, and disclose information about you in connection with your use of the Services and access to the Site, including when you use or interact with the Services or Site, post on any community feature, register for any event or promotional campaign, complete any survey or questionnaire or otherwise communicate with us through any channel (including but not limited to our social media or contact information provided below). This Privacy Policy does not apply to any products, services, websites, or content that are offered by third parties or have their own privacy policy (whether or not affiliated with 5ire). Please note other 5ire Services or Site or Content may also have their own additional Privacy Policy or Terms of Use.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully so you understand how we handle information about you. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any changes, we will change the Last Updated date above. We encourage you to periodically review the Privacy Policy for the latest information on our privacy practices. Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting of the updated terms. In all cases, your continued use of the Services or access to the Site following the posting of any updated Privacy Policy indicates your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

Personal Data and The Blockchain

Blockchain technology, a type of distributed ledger technology(DLT), is at the core of our business. Blockchains are decentralised and made up of digitally recorded data in a chain of packages called "blocks". The manner in which these blocks are linked is chronological, meaning that the data is very difficult to alter once recorded. Since the ledger may be distributed all over the world (across several "nodes" which usually replicate the ledger) this means there is no single person making decisions or otherwise administering the system (such as an operator of a cloud computing system), and that there is no centralised place where it is located either.

Accordingly, by design, a blockchain’s data cannot be changed or deleted and is said to be "immutable". This may affect your ability to exercise your rights such as your right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"), or your rights to object or restrict processing of your personal data. Data on the blockchain cannot be erased and cannot be changed. Although smart contracts may be used to revoke certain access rights, and some content may be made invisible to others, it is not deleted.

In certain circumstances, in the future, in order to comply with our contractual obligations to you (such as delivery of tokens or provision of other services) it will be necessary to collect certain personal data, such as your wallet address, onto the blockchain; this is done through a smart contract and requires you to execute such transactions using your wallet’s private key.

The ultimate decision to (a) transact on the blockchain using your wallet address, as well as (b) share the public key relating to your wallet address with anyone (including us) rests with you.

IF YOU WANT TO ENSURE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS ARE NOT AFFECTED IN ANY WAY, YOU SHOULD NOT TRANSACT ON BLOCKCHAINS AS CERTAIN RIGHTS MAY NOT BE FULLY AVAILABLE OR EXERCISABLE BY YOU OR US DUE TO THE TECHNOLOGICAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE BLOCKCHAIN. IN PARTICULAR THE BLOCKCHAIN IS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC AND ANY PERSONAL DATA SHARED ON THE BLOCKCHAIN WILL BECOME PUBLICLY AVAILABLE.

If You Are a Resident of California

If you are a California resident, you have certain additional rights with respect to personal information about you under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”).

We are required to inform you of:

• What categories of information we may collect about you, including during the preceding 12 months: See the section “What information do we receive from you or collect.”
• The purposes for which we may use your personal information and the purpose for which we share your personal information: including during the preceding 12 months See the section “How we use information.”

We do not sell any personal information of consumers.

Your rights

You have the right to request to know: (i) the categories of personal information we have collected about you in the last 12 months; (ii) the specific pieces of personal information we have about you; (iii) the categories of sources from which that personal information was collected; (iv) the categories of your personal information that we sold or disclosed in the last 12 months, if applicable; (v) the categories of third parties to whom your personal information was sold or disclosed in the last 12 months; and (vi) the purpose for collecting and selling your personal information, if applicable.

You may exercise these rights yourself or you may designate an authorised agent to make these requests on your behalf. To protect your information, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request, including by collecting additional information to verify your identity, such as government issued identification documents. We will not fulfil your request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the individual about whom we collected personal information. We will only use the personal information provided in the verification process to verify your identity or authority to make a request and to track and document request responses unless you initially provided the information for another purpose. When we verify your agent’s request, we may verify your identity and request a signed document from your agent that authorises your agent to make the request on your behalf. To protect your personal information, we reserve the right to deny a request from an agent who does not submit proof that they have been authorised by you to act on their behalf.
