As a global organization supporting a worldwide domain asset ecosystem, we may transfer your personal information across international borders.

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Blockchain data, including domain asset transactions and DomainFi activities, is retained permanently on the blockchain.
Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. We encourage users to adopt good security practices when interacting with blockchain systems, including using hardware wallets and keeping private keys secure.
