2. Information Collected

At Chain Glance, we collect personally identifiable information ("PII") and non-personally identifiable information ("Non-PII") from you. Personally identifiable information is information that can be used to identify you personally.

3. Cookies and Tracking

We may use cookies and related technologies to collect information on our Site. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you register with us, a cookie helps Chain Glance to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information and preferences. When you return to the Site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized.

We also use cookies to:
- Store your preferences and settings
- Help with sign-in and authentication
- Remember information you've previously entered
- Analyze site usage to improve our services

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of our services.

4. Third Party and Affiliate Access to Your Information

Although you are entering into an Agreement with Chain Glance to disclose your information to us, we may use third-party partners to assist us, including contractors, web hosts, and others to allow you to access the Site.

Throughout the course of our services to you, we may delegate our authority to collect, access, use, and disseminate your information. It is therefore necessary that you grant the third parties we may use in the course of our business the same rights that you afford us under this Privacy Policy. For this reason, you hereby agree that for every authorization which you grant to us in this Privacy Policy, you also grant to any third party that we may hire, contract, or otherwise retain the services of for the purpose of operating, maintaining, repairing, or otherwise improving or preserving our Website or its underlying files or systems. You agree not to hold us liable for the actions of any of these third parties, even if we would normally be held vicariously liable for their actions, and that you must take legal action against them directly should they commit any tort or other actionable wrong against you.

For instance, we may share some personal information with companies that we hire to perform services or functions on our behalf. In all cases in which we share your personal information with a third party for the purpose of providing a service to us, we will not authorize them to keep, disclose or use your information with others except for the purpose of providing the services we asked them to provide.

We will not sell, exchange or publish your personal information, except in conjunction with a legitimate business transaction or as required by law. For some services, our third-party vendors who provide services such as payment processing may collect personal information directly from you to assist you with your transaction. We do not control how these third parties use such information, but we do ask them to disclose how they use your personal information before they collect it.

5. Law Enforcement

You agree that we may disclose your information to authorities if compelled to by a court order. Additionally, you agree that we may disclose your information if we reasonably believe that you have violated US laws or the terms of our Terms of Use or our Privacy Policy, or if we believe that a third party is at risk of bodily or economic harm. In the event that we receive a subpoena affecting your privacy, we may elect to notify you to give you an opportunity to file a motion to quash the subpoena, or we may attempt to quash it ourselves, but we are not obligated to do either. We may also proactively report you and release your information without receiving any request to third parties where we believe that it is proper to do so for legal reasons, where your actions violate any laws of any jurisdiction having authority over us, our Site, or our Terms and Conditions. You release us from any damages that may arise from or relate to the release of your information to a request from law enforcement agencies or private litigants.

6. Opt Out of Commercial, Non-Commercial Communications

If you decide to provide us with your contact information, you agree that we may send you communications via text and emails. These communications may include:

- Account-related notifications
- Service updates and announcements
- Security alerts
- Marketing communications (where you have opted in)

You may unsubscribe from marketing communications by notifying Chain Glance that you no longer wish to receive these communications, and we will endeavor to promptly remove you from our marketing list. However, you acknowledge that we may continue to send you service-related and transactional communications, which are necessary for the operation and security of your account.

7. Security Measures

We have implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Only authorized personnel and third-party vendors have access to your personal information, and these employees and vendors are required to treat this information as confidential. Despite these precautions, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your personal information.

Our security measures include: - Secure infrastructure and hosting environments
- Industry-standard encryption protocols
- Access controls and authentication systems
- Regular security assessments and monitoring

However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

8. Retention and Deletion of Account Information

When your Site account is canceled, either voluntarily or involuntarily, your account may be placed in a 'deactivated' status within our database. However, you should know that deactivation of an account does not mean personally identifiable information has been deleted from our systems entirely. We will retain and use your personally identifiable information, if necessary, in order to resolve disputes, enforce our agreements and/or as required by laws or regulations.

Additionally, any public blockchain data that has been cached as part of our services will be retained as this represents immutable public records. This retention is necessary for the proper functioning of our services and is an integral part of blockchain technology's permanent nature.

9. International Transfer

Your information may be transferred to - and maintained on - computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer. PII and Non-PII that are submitted to Chain Glance will be collected, processed, stored, disclosed, and disposed of in accordance with applicable U.S. law and this policy.

If you are a non-U.S. user, you acknowledge and agree that we may collect and use your Information and disclose it to other entities outside your resident jurisdiction. In addition, such information may be stored on servers located outside your resident jurisdiction. U.S. law may not provide the degree of protection for information that is available in other countries.

10. Merger and Acquisition

In the event that Chain Glance is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. Please be aware that once the information is transferred your privacy rights may change.

11. Age Compliance

We intend to fully comply with American and international laws respecting children's privacy including COPPA. Therefore, we do not collect or process any information for any persons under the age of 18. If you are under 18 and using our Site, please stop immediately and do not submit any information to us. In the event that you become aware that we have inadvertently collected any information from users under the age of 18, please contact us immediately.

12. Your California Privacy Rights

Chain Glance permits residents of the State of California to use its Site and complies with the California Business and Professions Code §§ 22575-22579. If you are a California resident, you may request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to any third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Various provisions throughout this Privacy Policy address requirements of the Californian privacy statutes. Although we do not disseminate your information to third parties without permission, you must presume that we collect electronic information from all visitors. You may contact us at legal@chainglance.com with any questions.

13. Third-Party Services and Websites

Chain Glance or other users may post links to third-party websites on our Site, which may include information that we have no control over. When accessing a third-party site through our Site, you acknowledge that you are aware that these third-party websites are not screened for privacy or security issues by us.

Chain Glance bears no responsibility for the information collected or used by any third-party website. You must review their privacy policies and agreements to understand how their information collection practices work.

14. Security Measures and Data Breaches

While we employ reasonable security measures to protect your information, no system is impenetrable. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will:

1. Take immediate steps to secure any vulnerable systems
2. Investigate the nature and scope of the breach
3. Notify affected users in accordance with applicable laws
4. Take steps to prevent future breaches

You acknowledge that you provide your information at your own risk, and that we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

15. Payment Processing

For processing payments for subscription services, we use industry-standard payment processors. When you make a payment, you may be providing credit card or other payment information directly to our payment processors. We do not store your full credit card or banking information on our servers. We only retain sufficient information to manage your subscription and process renewals.
