1. What Information Do We Collect?
a. Personally Identifiable Information: We only collect personally identifiable information when you specifically and knowingly provide it to us, for example when you provide personal information such as your e-mail address, name, phone number, or other information. Personally identifiable information includes, where applicable, “personal data”, “personal information” and/or “sensitive personal information” each as defined in applicable law, and excludes staking addresses or payment addresses. We ask that you not send us, and you do not disclose, any sensitive personal data (e.g., social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background or trade union membership). We collect and use your personally identifiable information to provide customer service or provide updates or information you request.
This privacy policy does not apply to the privacy practices of third parties that we do not own or control, such as any third party websites, services, applications, online resources to which this Site may link or otherwise reference (collectively “Third Party Services” or “TPS”) that you may access through the Site.
You may always choose not to provide personally identifiable information, but if you so choose, certain parts of the Site may not be available to you. This consent provides us with the legal basis we require under applicable law to process your data. You maintain the right to withdraw such consent at any time. If you do not agree to our use of your personal data in line with this privacy policy, please do not use our Site.
b. Non-Personally Identifiable Information: We may collect and aggregate information which does not permit you to be identified or identifiable either by itself or in combination with other information available to a third party. This non-personally identifiable information may include a website that referred you to us, your IP address, browser type and language, hardware types, geographic location, and access times and durations. We also may collect navigational information, including information about the Site content or pages you view, the links you click, and other actions taken in connection with the Site.

We may also use cookies for purposes such as determining what features interest our users, revising our site features or operations, and as further described below.
• Pixel Tags and Log Files. The Site may also use other tracking systems such as log files and pixel tags. For example, pixel tags, sometimes called web beacons, are similar in function to a cookie and can tell us certain information like what content has been viewed.

2. What Do We Do With The Information That We Collect?
Except as disclosed in this privacy policy, The Foundation does not share your personal information with any outside parties. The Foundation will use the personally identifiable information directly provided by you solely for the purpose for which you have provided it, which may include:
• to operate, maintain, and improve the Site;
• to respond to your comments and questions and to provide customer service;
• to send you information including technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages;
• with your consent, to send you marketing e-mails about new proposals, opportunities, upcoming events, and other news, including information about products and services offered by us and our affiliates. You may opt-out of receiving such information at any time: such marketing emails tell you how to “opt-out.” Please note, even if you opt out of receiving marketing emails, we may still send you non-marketing emails. Non-marketing emails include emails about your account with us (if you have one) and our business dealings with you; and
• as we believe necessary or appropriate (a) to comply with applicable laws; (b) to comply with lawful requests and legal process, including to respond to requests from public and government authorities; (c) to enforce our privacy policy; and (d) to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of you or others.
We may share this information with service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as processing information requests, displaying stored data you access, to assist us in marketing, to conduct audits, etc. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to provide the service they provide, will be required to maintain the confidentiality of the information, and will be prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
We will only retain your personally identifiable information as long as reasonably required to provide you with the Site unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (for example, for regulatory purposes).
3. Your Rights
Consistent with the laws applicable to you, you may exercise one or more of the rights described in this section. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity and request before taking action on your request.
a. Rectification of Inaccurate or Incomplete Information. You have the right to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information about you.
b. Data Access and Portability. In some jurisdictions, applicable law may entitle you to request certain copies of your personal information held by us. You may also be entitled to request copies of personal information that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and/or request us to transmit this information to another service provider (where technically feasible).
c. Data Retention and Erasure. We generally retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide you the Site and to comply with our legal obligations. In certain jurisdictions, you can request to have all your personal information deleted entirely. Please note that if you request the erasure of your personal information:
• We may retain some of your personal information as necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud detection and prevention and enhancing safety.
• We may retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations. For example, for tax, legal reporting and auditing obligations.
• Because we maintain the Site to protect from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited period of time.
d. Withdrawing Consent and Restriction of Processing. If we are processing your personal information based on your consent you may withdraw your consent at any time by sending a communication to us specifying which consent you are withdrawing.
e. Objection to Processing. In some jurisdictions, applicable law may entitle you to require us not to process your personal information for certain specific purposes (including profiling) where such processing is based on legitimate interest. If you object to such processing we will no longer process your personal information for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for such processing or such processing is required for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Where your personal information is processed for information-sharing purposes, you may, at any time ask us to cease processing your data for these information-sharing purposes by sending an e-mail to support@indigo-foundation.org.
f. Lodging Complaints. You have the right to lodge complaints about our data processing activities by filing a complaint with us at support@indigo-foundation.org or with a supervisory authority.
4. Security and Encryption
We follow generally accepted industry standards to help protect your personal information. No method of transmission over the internet, mobile technology, or method of electronic storage, is completely secure. Therefore, while we endeavor to maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality of the information that we collect online, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Our Site has security measures in place designed to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us at support@indigo-foundation.org.

We reserve the right to change the terms of this privacy policy at any time. When we make changes, we will revise the date at the top of the policy.
