 Any transfer of information in such circumstances will be subject to appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

Transactions involving UNIT tokens or other blockchain-based assets are recorded on public blockchains. Due to the transparent nature of blockchain technology, transaction details (e.g., wallet addresses, amounts, and timestamps) are publicly visible and cannot be removed or altered by TCG World.

We may share aggregate or de-identified data that cannot reasonably identify you with third parties for purposes such as research, analytics, or marketing. This data is used to improve the platform and demonstrate its value without compromising user privacy.

TCG World does not sell your personal information to third parties for monetary gain.

By continuing to use TCG World, you acknowledge and consent to the sharing and disclosure of information as described above.

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:
 • Encryption: 
Data is encrypted during transmission and, where applicable, in storage to protect it from unauthorized access.

Access to sensitive data is restricted to authorized personnel and third-party service providers who require it for operational purposes.
 • Monitoring and Detection: 
The platform is monitored for suspicious activity, vulnerabilities, and potential threats to ensure timely detection and response.
 • Regular Updates: 
Our systems and security protocols are regularly reviewed and updated to address emerging risks.

While we take significant steps to secure your data, you also play a critical role in protecting your account:
 • Safeguard Credentials: 
Ensure that your username, password, and any other access credentials are kept confidential and not shared with others.
 • Use Secure Connections: 
Access TCG World through trusted networks and devices to reduce the risk of interception or malware.
 • Report Suspicious Activity: 
Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access or activity within your account.

Despite our efforts, we cannot guarantee that your information will remain completely secure in all circumstances. By using TCG World, you acknowledge and accept:
 • The inherent risks associated with transmitting information over the internet or using blockchain technology, including public visibility of blockchain transactions. • That TCG World is not responsible for unauthorized access or breaches caused by factors beyond our control, such as user negligence or third-party vulnerabilities. • That your continued use of the platform indicates your acceptance of these risks.
 By prioritizing both technical and procedural safeguards, TCG World remains dedicated to minimizing risks while providing a secure and reliable platform.

The retention period for your information depends on the nature of the data and how it is used:
 • Account Information: 
Retained for as long as your account is active. If your account is deactivated or terminated, we may retain certain information for a limited time to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce platform rules.
 • Transaction Data: 
Blockchain-based transactions are permanently recorded on public ledgers and cannot be deleted or altered. Other transaction records are retained as required for financial reporting, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance.
 • Communication Data: 
Retained for operational and support purposes until it is no longer needed, unless required for legal or compliance purposes.
 • Usage Data: 
Retained for a limited time to improve platform performance, detect security issues, and analyze user behavior. Aggregated or deidentified data may be retained indefinitely.

When information is no longer required, we take steps to securely dispose of or anonymize it:

Personal data stored electronically is permanently deleted using methods that prevent recovery.
 • Anonymization: 
Data may be stripped of personally identifiable information to create aggregated datasets for analysis, research, or other legitimate purposes.
 • Legal Exceptions: 
Some data may be retained for longer periods if required to comply with legal obligations or to protect TCG World’s interests.

By using TCG World, you acknowledge and accept the following:
 • Certain data, such as blockchain transaction records, cannot be altered or deleted due to the immutable nature of blockchain technology. • Retention of data is necessary to maintain the integrity, security, and functionality of the platform, as well as to comply with applicable laws and regulations. • Requests to delete your information may be limited by our legal and operational obligations.
 TCG World is committed to balancing data retention practices with privacy considerations, ensuring compliance with legal requirements while protecting the integrity of our platform.
