This Privacy Policy sets out in clear and comprehensive terms how Mastchain.io collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects personal information obtained through our website and any related online services. We understand the importance of privacy in the digital world and are committed to handling all personal data responsibly, transparently, and in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation where it applies. By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to the handling of your information as described herein.

Mastchain collects personal information through direct interactions with users, through automated technologies that operate when users browse the website, and through limited information received from third party service providers. When users contact us, subscribe to updates, create accounts, or otherwise choose to interact with the website, they may provide various forms of personal information such as their name, email address, contact details, or any content included in messages submitted to us. In addition to information that users voluntarily provide, the website gathers technical information automatically through server logs, cookies, and similar tools designed to record activity. This may include the user’s IP address, general location derived from the IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system information, the pages viewed during a session, the time spent on the site, the sequence of interactions, and other analytical data. These technologies allow Mastchain to understand usage patterns, maintain site functionality, and improve performance. We may also receive non-sensitive analytical information from trusted third party partners whose tools are integrated into our website to support performance monitoring and user experience enhancement.

Mastchain uses personal information for several operational and legitimate purposes. We use the information to provide access to the website and its features, to ensure the website operates efficiently, to respond to inquiries or requests submitted by users, and to communicate relevant updates or administrative notices. Personal information may also be used to analyse how the website is accessed and used so that we can identify areas requiring improvement, maintain security, and optimise our services. When permitted by the user, Mastchain may use personal information to send promotional or informational content related to our activities. All processing of personal information is conducted on lawful bases recognised under applicable data protection frameworks, including the user’s consent, the fulfilment of contractual obligations, the pursuit of legitimate business interests such as improving the functionality and security of the website, and compliance with legal duties.

Mastchain relies on cookies and related tracking technologies to operate the website and to understand how visitors interact with it. Some cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled through our internal tools. Other cookies help us understand performance, measure traffic patterns, and remember user preferences. Users may choose to disable or delete cookies through their browser settings; however, doing so may impair the user experience or limit functionality. By continuing to browse the website after receiving notice of cookies, users acknowledge that they consent to the use of these technologies unless their browser settings block them.

Mastchain does not sell personal information under any circumstances. However, we may share personal data with certain third parties when required to support our operations. This includes service providers offering hosting, analytics, communication, and technical support services. These service providers may only access personal information when necessary to fulfil their assigned functions and are required to handle it securely and in compliance with relevant laws. Mastchain may also disclose personal information to legal or regulatory authorities when such disclosure is mandated by law, required for the protection of rights or safety, or necessary to comply with judicial processes. In the event that Mastchain is involved in a business transition such as a merger, acquisition, or reorganisation, personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction, but only under conditions ensuring continued protection.

When personal information is transferred outside the user’s country of residence, Mastchain takes appropriate legal and technical steps to ensure that the information remains protected. These steps may include entering into data transfer agreements based on standard contractual clauses or relying on jurisdictions deemed to offer adequate levels of protection. Our commitment to safeguarding personal data remains consistent regardless of the location of data processing.

Mastchain employs reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. While no method of data transmission or storage is entirely secure, we continuously work to maintain and enhance the security of our systems and to minimise risks associated with handling personal information.

Mastchain retains personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or to comply with legal, regulatory, or operational requirements. The specific retention period may vary depending on the nature of the information, the context of collection, and applicable laws. When information is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

Users may have certain rights over their personal information depending on their jurisdiction. These rights may include the ability to request access to the data we hold, to request corrections of inaccurate information, to request deletion, to object to or restrict certain processing activities, or to withdraw consent when processing is based on consent. Mastchain will respond to all such requests in accordance with applicable law and will provide clear guidance on how users may exercise these rights. Users who wish to make a request should contact us through the details provided at the end of this policy.

Mastchain does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of sixteen, nor do we direct our website or services toward minors. If we become aware that information has been collected from a minor without appropriate consent, we will promptly delete it.

The website may contain links to external websites operated by third parties. Mastchain does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any third party websites they visit.

Mastchain may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our operational practices. When changes are made, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the website after such updates indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
