We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in applicable laws, regulatory guidance, or our internal processes. When we make changes, we will post the revised Policy on our platform and update the “Last Updated” date above. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

6. Sharing Your Personal Information

We may share your personal information with trusted third parties and partners in the following circumstances:

• To comply with legal or regulatory requirements, court orders, or lawful government requests;
• To enforce this Privacy Policy, our Terms & Conditions, and other agreements;
• To third-party service providers who assist us in operating our Services, such as payment processors, identity verification providers, analytics providers, and hosting providers;
• To investigate and prevent fraud, cheating, abuse, or other suspicious or illegal activities;
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of Wcoin, our users, or the public;
• With your explicit consent, where you have chosen to interact with third-party features or partners.

These third parties are only given access to the information they reasonably need to perform their services and are required to process your personal information in accordance with our instructions, this Privacy Policy, and applicable data protection laws.

Your data may be processed in countries other than your own, including outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or equivalent regions. When we transfer personal data outside such areas, we take appropriate safeguards, which may include:

• Standard Contractual Clauses approved by relevant authorities;
• Other lawful transfer mechanisms recognized by data protection laws;
• Internal policies and contractual protections to ensure adequate safeguards.

7. Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access.

This includes:

• Storing personal data in encrypted, password-protected databases;
• Using industry-standard encryption (such as TLS) to protect data in transit;
• Maintaining secure network architectures and firewalls;
• Restricting access to personal data to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis;
• Implementing internal policies and training for employees regarding data protection and security.

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. As such, we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work continuously to improve our security practices.

8. Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including:

• Providing and improving our Services;
• Complying with legal, regulatory, tax, and accounting requirements;
• Resolving disputes, enforcing our agreements, and protecting our rights.

The specific retention period may vary depending on the type of data and applicable laws. For example, AML and transaction-related records may need to be retained for a minimum number of years as required by law.

When your data is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymize, or destroy it in accordance with our data retention and destruction policies.

9. Third-Party Practices and Links

Our Website and Services may contain links to third-party websites, services, or applications. These third parties operate independently and have their own privacy policies and terms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites or services.

Any information you provide to third parties is governed by their respective policies, not this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site or service you visit or use.

10. Disclaimer

Wcoin’s Services are provided on an “AS-IS” and “AS-AVAILABLE” basis. While we take reasonable measures to protect your personal information and maintain the security and reliability of our systems, we cannot guarantee that our Services will always be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Wcoin is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

• Your use of, or inability to use, the Services;
• Events beyond our reasonable control (e.g., force majeure, internet or network outages, cyber-attacks);
• Unauthorized access to or use of your account or data due to your failure to maintain adequate security of your devices or credentials;
• Any data breach or security incident that occurs despite our implementation of reasonable safeguards, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any rights you may have under applicable data protection laws or to exclude or limit any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
