Dear User,
The "General Data Protection Regulation" (EU Regulation 2016/679, also known and hereinafter referred to as "GDPR") requires us, pursuant to Article 13, to provide You with the following information on the processing of Your Personal Data.
This policy informs you of the Personal Data Processing activities we perform as a result of providing the website of Jur A.G. accessible via jur.io, the Passport NFT Citizenship Dapp accessible via citizenship.jur.io and the Token Swap Dapp accessible via swap.dev.jur.io (“Services”) (see in the Glossary what we include in the definition of "Services").
“Processing of Personal Data” means any operation concerning any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. For example, first and last name, or an email address with a “user name” that identifies you (e.g. johndoe@….) is considered “Personal Data”, and the actions of collection, registration with us and use of your Personal Data to send you a communication are considered “Processing” operations; same applies to communication of Data to other organisations and storage.
As our entity provides the Services and establishes purposes and means of the Processing of Personal Data relating to You, we qualify as “Data Controller” under the GDPR.
If You, the User, are the individual whose Personal Data are processed by us, you are referred to as a "Data Subject," and you have the right to receive the following information about who we are, what Personal Data we process, why, how and for how long we process it, and what obligations and rights you have regarding it. If the actual User of the Services is some type of entity (e.g., company, association, etc.), the Data Subjects are the natural persons who materially use the Service on behalf of the entity (e.g., the entity's legal representative and/or its members and/or workers). In the latter case, information strictly related to the entity (e.g., VAT number) is not considered Personal Data, while other information referring to individuals (e.g., identification data of the legal representative) is Personal Data.
Depending on the Services that You use, we may need to process certain Personal Data. In some cases, specified below, we may have an interest in processing Personal Data for purposes other than the provision of the Services: in these cases, we will process only where there is an appropriate legal basis and, where required by law, on the basis of the Consent of the Data Subject.
The following grid and clauses explain how the Company, as Data Controller, will process Your Data.
Definitions of terms and expressions used within this Privacy Policy are contained in the Glossary below. For anything not expressly defined therein, please refer to the definitions set forth in our general terms and conditions for the sale and purchase of products/services, and/or in other legal texts available at jur.io on the date You read this Privacy Policy.

If information on such persons is recorded, We will delete it in a timely manner at the request of the Data Subject or the person exercising parental authority over him or her.

DISTRIBUTED LEDGER TECHNOLOGY DISCLAIMER

Remember that if You perform transact Crypto Assets through our Services, certain Personal Data of Yours will be permanently recorded and publicy visible because such transactions are enabled by a public distributed ledger (e.g. information relating to the Wallets that performed the transactions and information about the transactions).

You can learn more about the distributed ledger that we use for the provision of our Services at the following link: https://polkadot.network/

At the present state of the art, there is no technical possibility for us to intervene on the distributed ledger in use (which is not managed by us, nor by one of our providers, but managed in a decentralised manner by multiple nodes scattered around the world and operating among themselves as peers) and to erase or modify such immutable information. Therefore, sometimes we might be unable to completely fulfil some of Your requests pertaining to the Processing of Your Personal Data. For instance if you send us a request for complete erasure of Your Data, we will be able to erase Your user profile, but we will not be able to erase the history of the transactions relating to Crypto Assets that you made through the use of our Services.


In other words, if you decide to transact Crypto Assets, You are consciously deciding to partially waive to some of the above-referred rights and data retention limits in the name of transparency, security and public proof of transactions.
