This Privacy Policy describes how Venice Swap collects and processes your personal information through the Venice Swap websites and applications that reference this Privacy Notice. Venice Swap refers to an ecosystem comprising Venice Swap websites (whose domain names include but are not limited to www.veniceswap.com), mobile applications, clients, applets and other applications that are developed to offer Venice Swap Services, and includes independently-operated platforms, websites and clients within the ecosystem (e.g., Venice Swap Crypto Exchange, Venice Swap Launchpad, Venice Swap DEX etc.). “Venice Swap Operators” refer to all parties that run Venice Swap, including but not limited to legal persons, unincorporated organizations and teams that provide Venice Swap Services and are responsible for such services. “Venice Swap” as used in this Policy includes Venice Swap Operators.
This Privacy Policy applies to all platforms, websites, and departments of Venice Swap and Venice Swap Operators. By using Venice Swap Services, you are consenting to the collection, storage, processing and transfer of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.
Venice Swap UAB, (legal entity code: 305922234, registered office address: Laisvės pr. 60, Vilnius, the Republic of Lithuania) is the Data Controller for personal information collected and processed in connection with provision of Venice Swap Services.
Venice Swap collects your personal information in order to provide and continually improve our products and services.
Here are the types of personal information we collect:
Information you give us: we receive and store any information you provide in relation to Venice Swap. You can choose not to provide certain information but then you might not be able to use some Venice Swap Services. Examples of information that you give us include:
Automatically Collected information: we automatically collect and store certain types of information about your use of Venice Swap Services including your interaction with content and services available through Venice Swap Services. Like many websites, we use cookies and other unique identifiers and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser or device accesses Venice Swap Services. Examples of the information we collect and analyse include:
Information from other sources: we may receive information about you from other sources such as credit history information from credit bureaus, which we use to help prevent and detect fraud.
Venice Swap does not allow anyone under the age of 18 to use Venice Swap Services.
We process your personal information to operate, provide, and improve the Venice Swap Services that we offer our users. These purposes include:
We use cookies and similar tools to enhance your user experience, provide our services, and understand how customers use our services so we can make improvements. To enable our systems to recognise your browser or device and to provide Venice Swap Services to you, we use cookies.
We use operational cookies and similar tools (collectively, “cookies”) to provide our services, for example:
The settings on your browser will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, how to disable and remove cookies, and when cookies will expire.
Operational cookies allow you to take advantage of some of Venice Swap’s essential features. If you block or otherwise reject operational cookies through your browser settings some features and services may not work.
Information about our users is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling our users’ personal information to others. Venice Swap shares users’ personal information only as described below and with the subsidiaries or affiliates of Venice Swap that are either subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.
Third party service providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include analysing data, providing marketing assistance, processing payments, transmitting content, and assessing and managing credit risk. These third-party service providers have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process the personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as only permitted by applicable data protection laws.
Business transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other businesses or services. In such transactions, user information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the user consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Venice Swap or substantially all of its assets are acquired, user information will be one of the transferred assets.
Protection of Venice Swap and others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law or with our regulatory obligations; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of Venice Swap, our users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Venice Swap may transfer your data outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Venice Swap puts in place suitable safeguards to ensure that such transfer is carried out in compliance with applicable data protection rules, except where the country to which the data is transferred has already been determined by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of protection.
Where Venice Swap transfers personal data to affiliates or service providers, Venice Swap relies on the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
We design our systems with your security and privacy in mind. We work to protect the security of your personal information during transmission by using encryption protocols and software.
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of your personal information. Our security procedures mean that we may ask you to verify your identity before we disclose personal information to you.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your account password. We recommend using a unique password for your Venice Swap account that is not utilized for other online accounts. Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer.
We may share your personal information with our marketing partners for the purposes of targeting, modeling, and/or analytics as well as marketing and advertising.
You can access your information, including your name, address, payment options, profile information, and transaction history in the “Your Account” section of the website.
If you have any questions or objection as to how we collect and process your personal information, please contact privacy@veniceswap.com.
When you consent to our processing your personal information for a specified purpose, you may withdraw your consent at any time and we will stop any further processing of your data for that purpose.
In addition, subject to applicable law, you have the right to request access to, correct, and delete your personal data, and to ask for data portability. You may also object to our processing of your personal data or ask that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain instances. If you wish to do any of these things, please contact privacy@veniceswap.com.
We keep your personal information to enable your continued use of Venice Swap Services, for as long as it is required in order to fulfil the relevant purposes described in this Privacy Notice, as may be required by law such as for tax and accounting purposes, or as otherwise communicated to you.
The EU GDPR and UK data protection laws require a legal basis for our use of personal information. Our basis varies depending on the specific purpose for which we use personal information. We rely on:
