Last updated: August 31, 2023

Leather, operated by Leather Wallet LLC,  (referred to herein as “Leather”), a subsidiary of Nassau Machines Inc. (“Trust Machines”, or collectively with Leather, “we”, “our”, or “us”), respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information (defined below) when you use our website(s), browser extensions, mobile applications, desktop applications, web applications, social media sites and handles, emails we send, and any other related and connected platforms and other online and offline interactions (collectively our “Services”). Additional information on our Personal Information practices may be provided at the time of data collection. 


By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Services or provide us with any Personal Information.

We operate a platform designed to facilitate cryptographic blockchain activities.  While we are excited about the future of web3 services and the blockchain technology, the nature of our Services does not always comport with certain privacy laws that were not designed with today’s technology in mind.  We make every effort to comply with the laws and to protect your privacy.  However, due to the distributed public ledger nature of the Services, some information will always be publicly accessible on the public ledger.  We also offer you certain rights to access and control the data we have collected about you, but please note that we are not able to control the information that is on a decentralized public ledger.

For the purposes of this Policy, unless otherwise required by applicable law, “Personal Information” means any information that (directly or indirectly) identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with, linked or linkable with a particular individual consumer or household, including any information that is subject to applicable data protection laws.

Under European Union and/or United Kingdom regulations, where we have indicated above that we rely on legitimate interests for processing of personal information, we carry out a ‘balancing’ test to ensure that our processing is necessary and that your fundamental rights of privacy are not outweighed by our legitimate interests, before we go ahead with such processing. We do not use your Personal Information for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us below.


Transfer of Personal Information Overseas


We are a global company and will collect and process your Personal Information around the globe. Your information, including Personal Information, may be transferred to - and maintained on - computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction from where it was collected and the applicable data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. 


Disclosure of Personal Information


Personal Information may be shared in the following circumstances:

We may disclose Personal Information to third-party service providers or contractors (processors) who use this information to perform services for us, such as hosting providers, auditors, advisors, consultants, customer service and/or support providers and other similar service providers. 


Analytics Tools 


We may share Personal Information with third parties that provide campaign measurement, online and/or mobile analytics, and related services. These third parties may receive or access browsing and/or other data about your use of the Services, in order to measure our campaigns, and/or to better understand how individuals interact with our Services.


Legal Requirements


We may disclose your Personal Information to law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties when we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, such as a valid court order or subpoena, prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection the Service, prevent physical or financial loss, or to protect against legal liability.

Transfers Outside the UK/Europe


For users in the UK and European Economic Area (“EEA”)


We may sometimes transfer your Personal Information to countries outside the UK and EEA, for example if we are using a supplier based elsewhere or you want to transfer your data a third-party based in another country. The privacy laws in countries outside the UK and EEA may be different from those in your home country. 


Where we transfer data to a country that has not been deemed to provide adequate data protection standards, we will always have security measures and approved European or UK model clauses (available on the European Union’s legal website at eur-lex.europa.eu and the UK ones at the ICO website www.ico.gov.uk) or other adequate safeguards in place to protect your Personal Information. Please contact us if you would like more details about our safeguards for data transfers outside of the UK/EEA. 


For other users


If we transfer your Personal Information to countries outside of your home country, we will take steps to comply with the requirements for such transfer in your home country as required by relevant law.


Cookies and Analytics


We use cookies, pixels, tags, and other technologies, which may be provided by third parties, on our Services to enable certain functionality and for security and fraud detection and prevention, as well as to collect usage information about our Website and the emails that we send and to personalize content and provide more relevant ads and information. We may combine the information we collect via these technologies with other information, including Personal Information.


Cookies


Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that are transferred to your computer through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies enable you to log-in to our Services or save certain settings and preferences, while others allow us to track usage and activities on our Services, personalize content, or deliver more relevant ads. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The "Help" tab on the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. If you block cookies, however, certain features on our Website may not be available or function properly.


Third parties may use cookies and other similar technologies to collect or receive information from our Site and elsewhere on the Internet and use that information to provide you with targeted ads. If you would like to opt-out of such advertising practices on the particular device on which you are accessing this Privacy Policy, please go to http://optout.aboutads.info/. The Network Advertising Initiative also offers a means to opt-out of a number of advertising cookies. Please visit http://www.networkadvertising.org to learn more.

Pixel tags and embedded script (aka clear GIFs and web beacons).

 

Pixel tags are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use these, in connection with our Website to, among other things, track the activities of the users of our Services, improve ads, personalize and manage content, and gather usage information about our Website. We may also use these in HTML emails to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.


Third-Party Analytics Tools.


Our Website uses automated devices and applications operated by third parties, such as Google Analytics, which uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of the Website and report on activities and trends. This service may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps and online resources. You can learn about Google's practices by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and you can opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. 


Security of Data


The security of your data is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We also have procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Information breach, and we will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are legally required to do so. 


Links to Other Sites and Platforms 


Our Service may contain links to other websites, plug-ins and applications that are not operated by us. If you click a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site, which may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. This Policy does not apply to third-party websites that are accessible through the Services, unless such website directs users or visitors to this Policy. When you click on one of these links, you will be transferred out of the Services and connected to the website of the organization or company that maintains that website.


We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.


Children's Privacy


Our services are not offered to children and we do not knowingly collect or maintain Personal Information from anyone under the age of 18 (or majority in the jurisdiction they are accessing the services from). Should we discover that we have collected Personal Information online from a child who is under the legal age, we will promptly delete that Personal Information. If you have concerns over the collection of children's Personal Information on the Services, please contact us at the information provided in the Contact Us section below.  Although our Services are not directed to children, if your child uses our Services and you wish to review or delete your child’s Personal Information, you may so request by contacting us at the location or email address set forth below under ‘Contact Us.’ 


Do Not Track


We do not currently recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, which may include “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals sent by web browsers, mobile devices, or other mechanisms. Third parties may be able to collect information, including Personal Information, about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services when you use the Services. You also may limit certain tracking by disabling cookies in your web browser.


Your Data Access Rights


Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights, such as to request access to or correction of the Personal Information that we hold about you. To make a request, please email: [email protected].  Further information and advice about your rights can be obtained from the data protection regulator in your country, and many countries provide a right to lodge a complaint with the regulator. The rights that may be available to you include rights such as:


European Union and United Kingdom: 


Where EU and UK regulations apply, you have the right to:


Be informed through clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your Personal Information and your rights. This is why we are providing you with the information in this Policy. If you have any additional questions, for example regarding transfers and locations of data or our legitimate interests basis, please contact us.


Request access to your Personal Information (commonly known as a "data subject access request") if we are processing it, and certain other information (similar to that provided in this Policy). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it in accordance with data protection law.


Request correction of the Personal Information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.


Request erasure of your Personal Information (also known as the “right to be forgotten”). This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Information where there is no compelling reason for us keep using it, when you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request for erasure for specific legal reasons that will be notified to you and because of our use of blockchain technology. 


Object to processing of your Personal Information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it affects your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes or where we are relying on our legitimate interests for processing. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information that override your rights and freedoms.


Request restriction of processing of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Information in the following scenarios: 


  • If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.

  • Where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.

  • Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. 

  • You have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. 


When processing is restricted, we can still store your Personal Information, but we may not use it further. We keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their information to be restriction to make sure the restriction is respected in future.


Request the transfer of your Personal Information to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you. 


Lodge a complaint about the way we handle or process your Personal Information with your national data protection regulator. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner, and details of how to contact the ICO can be found on their website at ico.org.uk.


Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Information, including using your Personal Information for marketing purposes. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.


No fee usually required. You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.


What we may need from you. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.


Time limit to respond. We try to respond to all requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. 


Please consider your request responsibly before submitting it. We will respond as soon as we can. Generally, this will be within one month from when we receive your request but, if the request is going to take longer to deal with, we will come back to you and let you know.


United States Residents:


California Shine the Light. Where applicable, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 allows California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request please contact us using the information provided in the Contact Us section below. 


Nevada Residents. If you are a resident of Nevada, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of certain Personal Information to third parties who intend to license or sell that Personal Information. You can exercise this right by contacting us at [email protected]  with the subject line “Nevada Do Not Sell Request” and providing us with your name and the email address associated with your account.  Please note that we do not currently sell your Personal Information as sales are defined in Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A. If you have any questions, please contact us as set forth below.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.


We will let you know via email and/or a prominent notice on our Service, prior to any significant changes becoming effective and update the "effective date" at the top of this Privacy Policy.

Where we transfer data to a country that has not been deemed to provide adequate data protection standards, we will always have security measures and approved European or UK model clauses (available on the European Union’s legal website at eur-lex.europa.eu and the UK ones at the ICO website www.ico.gov.uk) or other adequate safeguards in place to protect your Personal Information. Please contact us if you would like more details about our safeguards for data transfers outside of the UK/EEA. 


For other users


If we transfer your Personal Information to countries outside of your home country, we will take steps to comply with the requirements for such transfer in your home country as required by relevant law.

Security of Data


The security of your data is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We also have procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Information breach, and we will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are legally required to do so. 


Links to Other Sites and Platforms 


Our Service may contain links to other websites, plug-ins and applications that are not operated by us. If you click a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site, which may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. This Policy does not apply to third-party websites that are accessible through the Services, unless such website directs users or visitors to this Policy. When you click on one of these links, you will be transferred out of the Services and connected to the website of the organization or company that maintains that website.


We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.


Children's Privacy


Our services are not offered to children and we do not knowingly collect or maintain Personal Information from anyone under the age of 18 (or majority in the jurisdiction they are accessing the services from).

If you have concerns over the collection of children's Personal Information on the Services, please contact us at the information provided in the Contact Us section below.  Although our Services are not directed to children, if your child uses our Services and you wish to review or delete your child’s Personal Information, you may so request by contacting us at the location or email address set forth below under ‘Contact Us.’

Your Data Access Rights


Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights, such as to request access to or correction of the Personal Information that we hold about you. To make a request, please email: [email protected].  Further information and advice about your rights can be obtained from the data protection regulator in your country, and many countries provide a right to lodge a complaint with the regulator. The rights that may be available to you include rights such as:


European Union and United Kingdom: 


Where EU and UK regulations apply, you have the right to:


Be informed through clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your Personal Information and your rights. This is why we are providing you with the information in this Policy. If you have any additional questions, for example regarding transfers and locations of data or our legitimate interests basis, please contact us.


Request access to your Personal Information (commonly known as a "data subject access request") if we are processing it, and certain other information (similar to that provided in this Policy). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it in accordance with data protection law.


Request correction of the Personal Information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.


Request erasure of your Personal Information (also known as the “right to be forgotten”). This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Information where there is no compelling reason for us keep using it, when you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request for erasure for specific legal reasons that will be notified to you and because of our use of blockchain technology. 


Object to processing of your Personal Information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it affects your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes or where we are relying on our legitimate interests for processing. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information that override your rights and freedoms.


Request restriction of processing of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Information in the following scenarios: 


  • If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.

  • Where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.

  • Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. 

  • You have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. 


When processing is restricted, we can still store your Personal Information, but we may not use it further. We keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their information to be restriction to make sure the restriction is respected in future.


Request the transfer of your Personal Information to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you. 


Lodge a complaint about the way we handle or process your Personal Information with your national data protection regulator. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner, and details of how to contact the ICO can be found on their website at ico.org.uk.


Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Information, including using your Personal Information for marketing purposes. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.


No fee usually required. You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.


What we may need from you. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.


Time limit to respond. We try to respond to all requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. 


Please consider your request responsibly before submitting it. We will respond as soon as we can. Generally, this will be within one month from when we receive your request but, if the request is going to take longer to deal with, we will come back to you and let you know.


United States Residents:


California Shine the Light. Where applicable, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 allows California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request please contact us using the information provided in the Contact Us section below. 


Nevada Residents. If you are a resident of Nevada, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of certain Personal Information to third parties who intend to license or sell that Personal Information. You can exercise this right by contacting us at [email protected]  with the subject line “Nevada Do Not Sell Request” and providing us with your name and the email address associated with your account.  Please note that we do not currently sell your Personal Information as sales are defined in Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A.
