Location, Retention, and Security of Information
5.1 Location
Your Personal Information may be maintained, processed, and stored by Bridge and our authorized affiliates and Service Providers in the United States of America and other jurisdictions, as necessary for the proper delivery of our Services, or as may be required by law. While privacy laws may vary between jurisdictions, Bridge, its affiliates, and Service Providers are each committed to protect Personal Information in accordance with this Policy and industry standards, regardless of any lesser legal requirements that may apply in their jurisdiction.
5.2 Retention
We will retain your Personal Information for as long as you use the Services or as necessary to fulfil the purpose(s) for which it was collected, provide our products and services, resolve disputes, establish legal defences, conduct audits, pursue legitimate business purposes, enforce our agreements, and comply with applicable law. If we are required to maintain a record of any information, you may not be able to delete such information due to such requirements. Please be aware that your personal information may be stored on backup tapes and locations, third-party servers, and other repositories that may not be erasable and residual information may be retained. We are under no obligation to store such information indefinitely and disclaim any liability arising out of, or related to, the destruction of such information.
Due to the inherent design of blockchain technology, data recorded on public blockchains (such as Solana and Base) is permanent, public, and immutable. This means that transaction histories and wallet addresses recorded on-chain cannot be altered or deleted by Bridge or any third party. If you submit a request to delete your personal data, please be aware that we cannot delete data that has been published to the public blockchain, as it is needed to maintain the integrity of the blockchain ledger. Instead, we fulfill deletion requests through a process of anonymization and decoupling. When a deletion request is processed, we will delete the off-chain personal data stored in our internal systems that links your real identity to your wallet address. Once this identifying link is destroyed, the remaining on-chain transaction data becomes effectively anonymous or pseudonymous, as it can no longer be technically or legally associated with you by Bridge. Additionally, please note that no personal data is used directly in on-chain functions, such as the minting process on our reserve ledgers.
5.3. Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that are designed to protect the privacy and security of your Personal Information. For example, all information you provide is accessible only to designated staff. In addition, all information is protected by SSL/TLS encryption when it is exchanged between your web browser and the Website or via the Services. We note, however, that the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to our Website or via the Services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website. In addition, where you have chosen a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.
