The personal data obtained from the user is entered and stored within the Pitaka’s authorized information and communications system and will only be accessed by Pitaka’s authorized personnel. Pitaka has instituted appropriate organizational, technical, and physical security measures to ensure the protection of the personal data as may be entered herein.

Except for certain information that is required by law, your decision to provide any personal data to Pitaka is voluntary. You will therefore not be subject to adverse consequences if you do not wish to provide Pitaka with your personal data.

Pitaka has legitimate interests in collecting and processing personal data, for example:

This Privacy Policy might change​

We might modify or replace any part of this Privacy Policy. Please check our website periodically for any changes. The new Privacy Policy will be effective immediately upon posting to our website, but if we change our Privacy Policy significantly, we will inform you through the Pitaka app.

Your choices and rights​

As explained throughout this Privacy Policy, Pitaka collects very little information about our users. As a result, it might be difficult to verify whether a request regarding privacy rights has actually been submitted by the person concerned. We therefore encourage you to delete your personal data by uninstalling the Pitaka app. Note that this doesn’t remove Pitaka account information, which has a history on the Pitaka blockchain.

  • As laid out in relevant privacy legislation, you have the right to:
    • Ask us to correct or update your personal data (where possible);
    • Ask us to remove your personal data from our systems;
    • Ask us for a copy of your Data processed, which may also be transferred to another data controller at your request;
    • Withdraw your consent to process your personal data (only if consent was asked for a processing activity), which only affects processing activities that are based on your consent and doesn’t affect the validity of such processing activities before you have withdrawn your consent;
    • Object to the processing of your personal data;
