Privacy Notice

Last updated:

This Privacy Notice describes how Open Standard, LLC (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses and discloses information about you when you use our website (joinopenstandard.com), applications, services, tools and features, or otherwise interact with us (collectively, the “Services”).

Please read this Privacy Notice carefully. By using any of the Services, you agree to the collection, use and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Notice. If you do not understand or agree to this Privacy Notice, please do not use or access the Services.

1. Changes to this Privacy Notice

We may modify this Privacy Notice from time to time, in which case we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Notice. If we make material changes to how we use or disclose information we collect, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you and will take additional steps as required by applicable law. If you do not agree to any updates to this Privacy Notice, please do not continue using or accessing the Services.

2. Collection and use of information

When you use or access the Services, we collect certain categories of information about you from a variety of sources. Information that we collect from you through our Services includes:

  • Contact information, such as your name, email address, company name, and country/region. We use this information to provide the Services and to communicate with you (including to tell you about products or services that may be of interest to you).
  • Any other information you choose to provide us or otherwise include in communications with us, for example, when sending a message through the Services.

Finally, we may deidentify or anonymize your information such that it cannot reasonably be used to infer information about you or otherwise be linked to you (“deidentified information”) (or we may collect information that has already been deidentified/anonymized), and we may use deidentified information for any purpose. To the extent we possess or process any deidentified information, we will maintain and use such information in deidentified form and not attempt to re-identify the information, except for the purpose of determining whether our deidentification process satisfies legal requirements.

3. Disclosure of your information

We may disclose your information for legitimate purposes subject to this Privacy Notice, including:

  • Our affiliates or others within our corporate group.
  • Business partners, including distributors we work with for the purchase of stablecoin from issuers.
  • Vendors or other service providers who help us provide the Services, including for system administration, cloud storage, transaction monitoring, security and fraud detection, and marketing communications.
  • Professional advisors, such as auditors, law firms or accounting firms.
  • Third parties in connection with or anticipation of an asset sale, merger, acquisition, or other business transaction, including in the context of a bankruptcy proceeding or other restructuring matter.
  • For legal and security reasons and to protect our services and business, including to cooperate with law enforcement, judicial orders and regulatory inquiries.

We do not disclose your personal information to third parties for the third parties’ own direct marketing purposes, unless you have agreed to such disclosure.

4. Data security and retention

We have implemented commercially reasonable security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. However, despite our efforts to protect your information, no security measures are impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” Any information you send to us electronically, while using the Services or otherwise interacting with us, may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to send us sensitive or confidential information.

We retain your information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes specified in this Privacy Notice. When determining the length of time to retain your information, we consider various criteria, including whether we need the information to continue to provide you the Services, resolve a dispute, enforce our contractual agreements, prevent harm, promote safety, security and integrity or protect ourselves, including our rights, property or products.

5. Data transfers

We are based in the United States. If you are using the Services from outside the United States, please be aware that the information we collect from you may be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States or other countries outside your country of residence.
