9. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

TAOT does not sell personal information for money in the traditional sense.

Certain advertising and analytics activities, however, may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for “targeted advertising” under some U.S. state privacy laws.

Where applicable, eligible consumers may request to opt out of these activities.

If TAOT becomes legally required to provide a “Your Privacy Choices,” “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information,” or similar mechanism, we will make that option available as required by applicable law.

10. Cryptocurrency and Wallet Information

TAOT operates within the digital-asset ecosystem.

Public blockchain transactions may be publicly accessible by their nature. Information recorded on a public blockchain generally cannot be modified or deleted by TAOT.

If you voluntarily provide a public cryptocurrency wallet address, we may process that information for the purpose for which you provided it, such as verifying participation in a promotion, assisting with a transaction, or providing a requested service.

Never provide TAOT with your private keys, wallet password, or wallet seed phrase.

TAOT will never need your seed phrase or private key to provide marketing information or ordinary customer support.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing requested services, maintaining business records, satisfying legal obligations, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, and enforcing agreements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with our practices and applicable law.

12. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, database, network, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should exercise caution when transmitting information online and should never provide cryptocurrency private keys or seed phrases to TAOT.

13. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• Request access to personal information we maintain about you

• Opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information
• Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Appeal certain decisions regarding a privacy request
• Exercise applicable privacy rights without unlawful discrimination

Not every right applies in every jurisdiction or circumstance.

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

14. California Privacy Rights

California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended (“CCPA”), if the law applies to TAOT.

These rights may include the right to know, access, delete, correct, and opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information and the right to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information.

California residents may also have the right to use legally recognized opt-out preference signals where applicable.

TAOT will not unlawfully discriminate against a consumer for exercising applicable privacy rights.

15. Children's Privacy

TAOT's websites, advertisements, and services are not directed toward children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

TAOT's cryptocurrency-related marketing is intended for adults.

If we learn that personal information from a child was collected in violation of applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

16. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our websites and communications may contain links to third-party websites, exchanges, social media platforms, wallet providers, or other services.

TAOT does not control the privacy practices of these third parties.

When you leave a TAOT-controlled website or application, the third party's privacy policy and terms may apply. We encourage users to review those policies before providing personal information.

17. International Visitors

TAOT primarily operates in the United States.

If you access our services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.

Additional privacy rights may apply depending on your jurisdiction.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, services, advertising activities, or legal requirements.

When changes are made, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

Material changes may be communicated through additional methods when required by applicable law.

19. Contact Us and Privacy Requests

Privacy requests should include sufficient information for us to understand and respond to the request.
