Privacy Policy

One of the main priorities of Ashswap AG (‘’Ashswap’’) is the protection of the privacy of all visitors of the Ashswap web app https://app.ashswap.io and https://ashswap.io website and its sub-domains.

As We are committed to protecting and respecting Your privacy, the following information will provide You an overview of what happens to Your Personal Data we collect, use, and share in connection with the Ashswap website as well as the purposes we use it. We are aware of the importance of how Personal Data as confidential information are handled and We assure you that We observe all applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”). Unless otherwise indicated, terms used in this Regulation shall have the same meaning as under GDPR.

This Privacy Policy is issued on behalf of Ashswap so when we mention "Ashswap", "We", "Us" or "Our" in this Privacy Policy, We are referring to the company Ashswap AG and its related group of undertakings, responsible for processing Your data. When We mention "You" and ‘’Your’’ We are referring to the individual accessing or using services, or the company, or other legal entity on behalf of which such individual is accessing or using the service, as applicable.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Ashswap tries to collect and store as little as possible of your personal data, such as first name, last name, street address, date of birth, email address, or IP address.

Ashswap in particular collects non-identifiable data, such as public on-chain data, and limited off-chain data like device type, browser version, etc. This is to help drive production vision, not track users. - Ashswap endeavours to refine its practices by exploring methods to further protect consumer privacy such as opt-out prompts, migrating to privacy-centric tooling, and deploying proxies to anonymize network traffic. - Users are empowered to explore client-side privacy techniques and tools.

This Privacy Policy shall only apply to Our online activities and is valid for any visit to our website with regards to the information that is shared and/or collected by Ashswap. This Privacy Policy is not applicable to any information collected offline or via other channels than this website.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

If you are located in the EEA and if we collect your personal data you have certain rights in relation to your personal data:

Right of access and information

You have the right to request from us free confirmation of the processing of the data or information in question and to be informed of such data and to receive further information and a copy of the data in accordance with the provisions of the law. The subject of the information is the stored personal data themselves, the origin of the data, their recipients, and the purpose of the data processing (cf. Art. 15 GDPR).

Right of rectification

You have the right to correct your data when it is inaccurate or incomplete (for example, change your address).

Right to cancel or blocking

You have the right to demand from us as the responsible party the immediate deletion of the data concerned or, alternatively, to demand that the processing of the data be restricted in accordance with the statutory provisions (cf. Art. 17, 18 GDPR).

Right to data transfer

You have the right to demand from us that we hand over to you or pass on to third parties the data concerning you which you have made available to us in accordance with the statutory provisions (cf. Art. 20 GDPR). Direct transfer to another responsible party is subject to technical feasibility.

Right to object and withdraw your consent

You may withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your data. However, we note that this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will of course advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. At any time, you may withdraw your consent or object to the receipt of newsletters and advertising emails, the personalization of advertisements, or the sharing of your data with our partners (except for technical service providers) by email request to [email protected].

We will not refuse any requests submitted by you to exercise your rights without a legal reason.

We will consider all requests to exercise your rights and provide our response without undue delay (and in any event within one month of your request unless we tell you we are entitled to a longer period allowed by applicable law).

Certain personal information may be exempt from such requests in certain circumstances, for example if we need to keep using the information to comply with our own legal obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. If an exception applies, we will tell you this when responding to your request.

We may request you provide us with information necessary to confirm your identity before responding to any request you make.

DATA WE COLLECT

Privacy is central to everything we do at the Ashswap. And we've enshrined transparency as one of our Company values. Accordingly, we aspire to be transparent about what little data we do collect. When you interact with the Services, we collect only:

Publicly-available blockchain data. When you connect your non-custodial blockchain wallet to the Services, we collect and log your publicly-available blockchain address to learn more about your use of the Services and to screen your wallet for any prior illicit activity. We screen your wallet using intelligence provided by leading blockchain analytics providers. Note that blockchain addresses are publicly-available data that are not created or assigned by us or any central party, and by themselves are not personally identifying.
Information from localStorage and other tracking technologies. We and our third-party services providers may access and collect information from localStorage, mobile deviceID, cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies to provide and personalise the Services and features of the Services for you across sessions. For example, we may use this information to remember tokens you import, star, or add to your shopping bag. We may also use this information to learn about your preferences, your use of the Services, and our interactions with you. Information we collect from these technologies may include things such as browser type, referring/exit pages, operating system, device or browser language, and other device information. We group and analyse these user journeys collectively, in the aggregate, to improve our product user experience.

Google Analytics uses so-called cookies. Cookies are text files, which are stored on Your computer and that enable an analysis of the use of the website by users. The information generated by cookies on your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the United States, where it is stored. Google will possibly also transmit this information to third parties, insofar as this is prescribed by law or insofar as third parties process these data on behalf of Google.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies and the utilisation of this analysis tool are based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The operator of this website has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user patterns to optimize both the services offered online and the operator’s advertising activities.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland and/or its affiliates.

The Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create any user profiles, does not store cookies, and does not carry out any independent analyses. It only manages and runs the tools integrated via it. However, the Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google’s parent company in the United States.

The Google Tag Manager is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and uncomplicated integration and administration of various tools on his website. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the GDPR. This consent can be revoked at any time.

Meta Pixel

This process is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Twitter ads for statistical and market research purposes and may help to optimize future advertising efforts. The data collected in this way does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Twitter so that a connection to the profile of the respective user is possible and Twitter can use the data for its own advertising purposes. This data may enable Twitter and its partners to place advertisements on and outside Twitter. A cookie may also be stored and read on users' computers for these purposes.
