We may request you to confirm your identity by providing identification documentation and/or other methods prior to assisting you in exercising any of your rights. If you refuse to prove your identity, we may decline to take actions in respect of your data, save restricting processing, until we can ensure that such actions are the true wish of the data subject.

There may be a minimal charge for providing you additional copies of your Personal Information to cover administrative costs.
In cases when we will not be able to fulfill your requests due to legal obligations or overriding legitimate interests, we will inform you accordingly.
10. Data Retention
We will keep your personal data no longer than needed for the purposes indicated in this Policy and in accordance with our legal obligations and legitimate business interests.
As a VASP, we are required by Lithuanian law to retain certain customer identification and transaction data for a specific period (typically 8 years after the termination of the business relationship or the last transaction, though specific AML laws should be consulted for exact durations). Even if you delete your Wallet or addresses from any associated mobile application, uninstall mobile applications from your device, or request that your information be deleted, we may still retain some information that you have provided to us to maintain our records or to comply with laws and regulations.
We will dispose of your information once we do not have any obligation to provide you with a service you requested, nor an obligation to hold personal data for regulatory or legal purposes.
11. Data Security
We are committed to making sure your information is protected in accordance with applicable laws and our data privacy policies. We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures (TOMs) to ensure the security of our platform and to protect your personal information from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access.
These measures include:
- Using encryption protocols and software to protect the security of your personal information during transmission.
- Maintaining physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage, and disclosure of your personal information.
- Securing all connections with industry-standard transport layer security.
Where we pass on Personal Information to third parties, we will request that they implement similar levels of technical and organizational security measures.
Even with all these precautions, we cannot fully guarantee against the access, disclosure, alteration, or deletion of data through events, including but not limited to hardware or software failure or unauthorized use. Any information that you provide to us is done so entirely at your own risk.
12. Automated Decision Making and Profiling
We may use automated processing and profiling to reduce the risks of fraud, money laundering, and abuse of our services, as required by our VASP obligations. Through this automated processing, we may carry out an analysis of your identification, transactional, and behavioral patterns. Please note that such processing is necessary to provide you with our services and to comply with legal requirements.
If you feel that this processing might be detrimental to you, or if you wish to obtain human intervention or express your point of view and contest a decision based solely on automated processing, please contact us at [email protected].
