This Privacy Policy (“Policy“) is published by Sendtech innovations LTD. (“Send Crypto” or “Company”), a company incorporated under the laws of Cyprus, in connection with the Send Crypto platform available on this website and any of its subdomains (the “Website“) or on any mobile application or interface (the “App(s)“). Send Crypto is dedicated to protecting your privacy rights and making our practices regarding your personal data transparent and fair. This Policy was designed to help you better understand the information we collect, store, use and share when you use, interact with or otherwise access our Services. This Policy does not apply to any third-party websites, services or applications, even if they are accessible through our Services.
We strongly urge you to read this Policy and make sure that you fully understand and agree to it. If you do not agree to this Policy, please discontinue and avoid using our Services. You have the right to cease using our Services at any time.
This Policy is integrated into and forms part of our Terms which are currently available at https://www.sendcrypto.com/terms-and-conditions/.
Depending on your interaction with us, we may collect two types of data from you:
“Non-Personal Data” means aggregated, non-personal non-identifiable information, which may be made available or gathered via your access to and use of the Services. We are not aware of the identity of the user from which the Non-Personal Data is collected. Such Non-Personal Data may include aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device, such as browser version, operating system type and version, mobile network information, device settings, and software data.
“Personal Data” (as defined under the GDPR) or “Personal Information” (as defined under the CCPA or other US privacy legislations) means individually identifiable information, namely information that identifies an individual or may, with reasonable effort, be used to identify an individual.
For the avoidance of doubt, any Non-Personal Data connected or linked to any Personal Data shall be deemed as Personal Data as long as such connection or linkage exists.
Please note that the Company does not collect and process Personal Data you share directly with your Third-Party Services for the purposes of KYC verification and legal compliance (if applicable). However, we do collect public on-chain data such as your public address, transaction details, balance amounts and type of assets and wallets accessible through Third-Party Services you integrate with our Services.
The table below details the types of Personal Data we collect, the methods and purpose of such collection, and our lawful basis for processing such Personal Data (where the GDPR applies):
| DATA TYPE | METHODS AND PURPOSE | LAWFUL BASIS |
|---|---|---|
| Account Information | When you create an account with us, we will collect information associated with your account, including your name, contact information, phone number, date of birth, email address, and any other information provided by you when opening your account (collectively, “Account Information”). | Account Information is required for the proper and basic operation of the Website and offering of Services. Further processing may be subject to our legitimate interest, for example for internal documentation, and improvement of service purposes by training our models. |
| Website Interaction and Marketing | When you interact with our Website, we may collect your online identifiers, such as Internet Protocol (IP) address, device identifiers, Cookie ID and tracking technologies and other unique identifiers (“Online Identifiers”). Online Identifiers are used in particular to operate the Website and enable its proper functionality, for example, to automatically recognize you by the next time you enter the Website or to confirm you are a real person. | Strictly necessary cookies are required for the proper and basic operation of the Website and will be processed in our legitimate interests, where such cookies collect Personal Data on our behalf. Other cookies, to the extent these collect your Personal Data, will be based on your consent which we will obtain through our cookie notice and consent mechanism. |
| Image Collection | Users have the option to upload an image of their choice as their profile picture. We do not store the specific images selected by users for their profiles. Users retain full control over their profile images and can modify or delete them at any time within the settings. In addition, for enhanced security and identity verification purposes, users may be asked to upload specific documents and provide a selfie. | Access to user images is requested for two distinct purposes: allowing users to set a profile image and facilitating identity verification. We do not employ user images for any other use except for these specified purposes. |
| Publicly Available Blockchain Data | We collect publicly available on-chain blockchain data such as your public address, transaction details and history, balance amounts and type of assets and wallets accessible through Third-Party Services you integrate with our Services. | This information is required to reflect the actual data pertaining to your accounts with Third-Party Services which is necessary for the proper operation of the Services. |
| User Content | When you use our Services, we collect Personal Information that is included in the input, texts, prompts, questions, comments, interactions, links, file uploads, or feedback that you provide to our Services (“Content”). You are not required (and we recommend you not) to include any Personal Data in your Content. | User Content is required for the proper and basic operation of the Website and App and offering of Services. Further processing may be subject to our legitimate interest, for example for internal documentation and improvement of our Services. |
| Contact Information and Newsletters | If you voluntarily contact us, through any means of communications we make available for support or other general inquiries you may be required to provide us with certain information such as your email address or any additional information you decide to share with us (“Contact Information”) or to receive updates and newsletter from us from which you unsubscribe at any time. We process Contact Information to respond to your inquiries, and provide you with the support, materials, updates and information you requested. The correspondence and its contents with you may be processed and stored by us in order to improve our customer service and in the event we believe it is required to continue to store it, for example, in the event of any claims or in order to provide you with any further assistance (if applicable). | We process Contact Information subject to your consent. Further processing may be subject to our legitimate interest, for example for internal documentation and improvement of service purposes. |
| Legal Matters | We may use certain Personal Data to prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities, fraud, misappropriation, infringements, identity thefts and any other misuse of the Services, to enforce our legal terms and conditions, to protect the security or integrity of our databases, and to take precautions against legal liability. | Such processing is based on our legitimate interests, which in this case are protecting our Services and data, exercising our legal rights, and complying with our legal obligations. |
Please note that the actual processing operation per each purpose of use and lawful basis detailed in the table above may differ. Such processing operation usually includes a set of operations made by automated means, such as collection, storage, use, disclosure by transmission, erasure or destruction. The transfer of Personal Data to third party countries as further detailed in the Data Transfer Section is based on the same lawful basis as stipulated in the table above.
Also, please note our Services incorporate Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology to generate encryption keys. As a component of our backup and recovery strategy, we offer the option to securely store an encrypted (and unidentified) portion of your key in your cloud storage. This measure is designed to simplify the process of recovering your account, should the need arise. To enable this feature, SendCrypto will request your permission to store and manage its encrypted key share within your cloud account, along with access to the associated email address for verification and recovery purposes. This process is fully compliant with privacy standards, ensuring your data remains protected and under your control at all times.
As further described in our Terms, we may integrate or provide access to platforms, applications, services, interfaces, software programs, protocols, and other various products that are not operated or maintained by the Company (“Third-Party Services“) (e.g., crypto wallets, exchanges and data providers). When you interact with Third-Party Services, these parties may independently collect information about you and solicit information from you (including, for instance, information pertaining to KYC, verification and legal compliance purposes). The collection and processing of such personal data is carried solely and directly between the user and the Third-Party Service. SendCrypto plays no role in this process and does not have access to, nor does it store, any personal information shared between you and Third-Party Services. The collection and processing of personal data by Third-Party Services is subject to their privacy policies and other terms.
