SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS
OxWallet, headquartered in the United Arab Emirates, adheres strictly to its home country's legal standards and regulations. It represents a robust platform of intelligent contracts resistant to censorship, seamlessly integrating with various primary and secondary blockchain networks. Unlike many other services, OxWallet prioritizes user privacy by not gathering or storing personal information during its services, including names, addresses, birthdates, email, or IP addresses.
Instead, OxWallet focuses on collecting anonymous data, such as transactions on the blockchain and limited information from off-chain sources like the type of device or browser used. This approach aims to enhance the product's direction without compromising user privacy. The company firmly states that it does not retain email addresses nor attempt to associate them with other personal identifiers.
Continuously seeking ways to bolster consumer privacy, OxWallet is investigating and implementing solutions like opt-out features, privacy-focused technologies, and network proxies to ensure anonymity. It also encourages users to adopt privacy-protecting measures.
OxWallet is committed to transparency regarding significant updates to its privacy policy, ensuring users are always informed of how their data is managed and protected.
Data We Collect
At our Company, privacy forms the cornerstone of our operations, and we hold transparency in high regard as one of our core values. In line with this, we aim to be open about the minimal amount of data we collect. We don’t operate with user accounts, nor do we gather and keep personal information like your name or IP address. The only data we collect occurs through your interactions with our Services, which is kept to the absolute minimum.
Publicly-available blockchain data. Upon linking your non-custodial blockchain wallet with our Services, we log your publicly accessible blockchain address. This is done to gain insights into your interaction with the Services and to check your wallet for any historical unlawful activities. For this purpose, we utilize insights from premier blockchain analytics services. It's important to note that blockchain addresses, being public data, are neither generated nor allotted by us or any centralized entity, and on their own, do not reveal personal identity.
Information from local storage and other tracking technologies. Our team, along with our partners, leverages technologies such as localStorage, mobile device IDs, cookies, web beacons, and others to enhance and tailor the Services and its functionalities uniquely for you over different sessions. For instance, we utilize this collected data to recall the tokens you've chosen to import, favorite, or add to your cart. Additionally, this information aids us in understanding your preferences, how you interact with the Services, and how you engage with us. The types of information gathered through these technologies can include details like the type of browser you use, the pages you visit upon entering and leaving our site, the operating system of your device, the language of your device or browser, and various other device-related information. We aggregate and scrutinize these customer pathways collectively to refine and enhance the overall user experience of our product.
Information from other sources. Our service providers may supply us with details regarding your wallet address or transactions conducted via the Services to help us adhere to legal requirements and deter the misuse of our Services for fraudulent or illegal activities.
Survey or usability information. Suppose you participate in a survey or usability study with us. In that case, we will record any biographical information you directly provide to us (for example, your name, email, and job title), the responses you provide to us, and your interactions with the Services.
Correspondence. We will gather any messages and data you send through email, customer service interactions, social media platforms, or other support avenues (like Twitter or Discord), as well as any information you provide while engaging in surveys or questionnaires.
Biographical information. If you submit a job application to us, we gather all the information you provide via our Careers form. This includes your name, email address, telephone number, employment and immigration status, along with any details included in your resume, cover letter, or any additional text you submit.
Information you specifically provide us. If you specifically provide us with information (such as your email address), we may use that information for the purposes described when you provide it to us. We will not attempt to link any information you provide to your wallet address, IP address, or other personal data. You do not need to provide us with any personal data to use the Services.
