Therefore, the Blockchain Trust Group (BTG) conducts its business in compliance with applicable laws on data privacy protection and data security. The Blockchain Trust Group hopes the policy outlined below will help you understand what data we may collect, how the Blockchain Trust Group uses and safeguards that data and with whom the Blockchain Trust Group may share it.

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) applies to all personal data, including name, address, social security number, telephone number, email address, banking account or credit card details, medical information, passwords or other personally identifiable or sensitive information as defined by applicable law (Personal Data) that BTG collects or receives from or through the performance of services for its clients inside and outside the United States (Client) and those it transfers into the United States, whether manually or digitally processed. The Policy governs the BTG and each of its subsidiaries and affiliates.
2. Our Services. The BTG provides blockchain and tokenization services (“Services”) for Clients with respect to the raising of capital for all forms of businesses. Clients retain the BTG to transmit messages and to provide information to their customers and others (“Recipients”). In such cases, the BTG acts as an agent/data processor for its Clients to perform the Services and the BTG relies on its Clients to comply with all applicable personal data privacy laws in compiling and providing the BTG with the Recipient information. Through its Website, the BTG will not collect any Personal Data about you unless you: (1) voluntarily choose to provide the BTG with it in order to obtain goods or services or respond to a survey; (2) provide your consent; (3) or unless otherwise permitted by applicable laws and regulations.
3. Purpose of Use. When you do provide us with Personal Data via its Website, the BTG usually uses it to respond to your inquiry, process your order or provide you access to specific information. Also, to support our customer relationship with you, the BTG may store and process Personal Data and share it with our worldwide subsidiaries and affiliates. If you choose not to have your Personal Data used to support our customer relationship, we will respect your choice.
The BTG may employ third parties to host or support its Websites, applications or Service. These parties may have access to your information to perform such tasks.The BTG does not sell or otherwise market your Personal Data to third parties, except BTG subsidiaries and affiliates.
4. Other Information Collection.

Through your use of telecommunications services to access our Website, your communications data (i.e., Internet protocol address) or utilization data (i.e., information on the beginning, end and extent of each address, and information on the telecommunications services you accessed) are technically generated and could conceivably relate to Personal Data. To the extent there is any compelling necessity, the collection, processing and use of your communications or utilization data will occur and will be performed in accordance with applicable data privacy laws.
