1. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Information You Provide to Us

We collect personal information only where strictly necessary:

• Customer Support Communications
If you contact us by email, you may voluntarily provide your name, email address, and any information you choose to include. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not sold or reused for unrelated purposes.

• Opt-In Communications
We collect your email address only if you explicitly opt in to receive updates, newsletters, or communications. You may unsubscribe at any time.

• Accuracy of Information
You are responsible for ensuring any information you provide is accurate and up to date.

Information We Collect Automatically

We seek to minimise automatic data collection. Where collected, it may include:

• Basic Technical Data
This may include IP address, browser type, device type, and operating system, collected in an anonymised or aggregated form where possible.

• Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use essential and analytics cookies to ensure basic functionality and understand general Website usage. Cookies do not provide us access to your device or personal files. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, although some features may not function correctly.

• Usage Data
Limited information about how visitors interact with the Website, such as page visits and timestamps, may be collected in an aggregated and non-identifiable manner.

Information Received from Third Parties

• Wallet Connections and Blockchain Data
Causevest does not collect, store, or control wallet addresses, private keys, seed phrases, or funds. All wallet interactions occur directly between you and the blockchain network. Blockchain transactions are public by nature, but we do not associate them with personal identities.

• Third-Party Authentication and Payment Tools
If you use third-party services or payment facilitators, those services operate under their own privacy policies. We may receive a confirmation that an interaction occurred, but not sensitive personal or financial details.

• Analytics Providers
We may use third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics to understand general Website performance. These tools provide aggregated statistics and do not give us direct access to personally identifiable information.

• Third-Party Terms
Connecting wallets or using third-party tools subjects you to their terms and privacy policies. It is your responsibility to review them.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

Any information collected is used only for the following purposes:

• To operate and maintain the Website
• To respond to enquiries and support requests
• To improve usability and performance of the Website
• To send communications only where you have opted in
• To comply with applicable legal or regulatory obligations

We do not sell personal data and do not use it for profiling or automated decision-making.

3. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

We may share limited information only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers
With trusted third-party providers who assist with hosting, analytics, email delivery, or technical operations, and only to the extent necessary.

• Legal Requirements
If required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.

• Business or Organisational Changes
In the event of a restructuring, merger, or transfer involving the Causevest Foundation or related entities, information may be transferred subject to equivalent privacy protections.

4. SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

We apply reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect any personal information we do hold. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Importantly:
• We do not store private keys, seed phrases, or custody digital assets
