By visiting, accessing, or using this platform, you agree to the terms and practices described in this privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”), so please read them carefully. If any terms or practices described in this Privacy Policy are unacceptable to you, please do not visit, access, or use the platform. Use of the words “we” or “our” in this Privacy Policy refers to any or all of the aforementioned Ocean Media entities.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we treat your personal information. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, references to “personal information” shall be synonymous with “personal data”.
By visiting, accessing, or using the Ocean Media platform, you confirm that you are at least eighteen (18) years old and agree to be bound by the terms and practices described in this Privacy Policy in their entirety. Your privacy matters to us, so whether you are new to Ocean Media or a long-time user of our website or services, please do take the time to get to know and familiarize yourself with our policies and practices. If you do not want to be bound by this Privacy Policy, you should not visit, access or use our website or services.
As used herein, “Digital Currency” means a digital asset (also called a “cryptocurrency,” “virtual currency”), such as, but not limited to, bitcoin or ether, which is based on a cryptographic protocol(s) of an electronic system that may be (i) centralized or decentralized, (ii) proprietary or open-source, and (iii) used as a medium of exchange and/or store of value.
Subject to applicable laws and regulations, we may from time to time send direct marketing materials promoting services, products, facilities, or activities to you using information collected from you.
We may share your personal information with our affiliates in the circumstances described below:
Certain services that you request from us, or that may be required by law or regulation, may be performed by an affiliate. In these circumstances we may share Individual Verification Information, Institutional Verification Information, or details of transactions you have requested or completed, including but not limited to transaction amounts and wallet addresses.
We will take steps to ensure that personal information is accessed only by employees of such affiliates that have a need to do so for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
We may also share your personal information with:
Third party identity verification services in order to prevent fraud. This allows Ocean Media to confirm your identity by comparing the information you provide us to public records and other third-party databases;
Third party service providers under contract who help with parts of our business operations such as bill collection, marketing, and technology services. Our contracts require these service providers to only use your information in connection with the services they perform for us, and prohibit them from selling your information to anyone else;
Financial institutions with which we partner;
Companies or other entities that we plan to merge, combine or consolidate with or be acquired by (whether in whole or in part). Should a merger, combination or consolidation occur, we will require that the new combined and/or surviving entity (as the case may be) follow this Privacy Policy substantially with respect to your personal information;
Companies or other entities that may purchase assets, liabilities and / or whole or part of a business of Ocean Media, including pursuant to a court-approved sale under U.S. Bankruptcy law;
Law enforcement, and officials, or other third parties when:
we are compelled to do so by a subpoena, court order, or similar legal procedure; or
we believe in good faith that the disclosure of personal information is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity or to investigate violations of our User Agreement; and
Other third parties with your consent or direction or any third party that might be required by law.
We do not sell customer information to third parties for the purposes of marketing.
Be aware that bitcoin, ether, and other Digital Currencies are not anonymous. Anyone can see the balance and transaction history of any Digital Currency address (public key). We, and any others who can match your Digital Currency address (public key) to other information about you, may be able to identify you from a blockchain transaction. This is because information published on a blockchain can be correlated with information that we and others may have. This may be the case even if we, or they, were not involved in the blockchain transaction. Furthermore, by using data analysis techniques on a given blockchain, it may be possible to identify other information about you. As part of our security, anti-fraud and/or identity verification and authentication checks, we may conduct such analysis to collect and process such information about you. You acknowledge and agree to allow us to perform such practices.
This section of our Privacy Policy only applies where you are a resident in the EEA. If you are a resident in the EEA, please read this section carefully.
LEGAL BASIS FOR USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We are entitled to use your personal data in the ways set out in this Privacy Policy because:
we are performing our contractual obligations with you;
we have legal and regulatory obligations that we have to discharge;
we may need to do so in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights or for the purpose of legal proceedings;
we have obtained your consent; or
the use of your personal data as described is necessary for our legitimate business interests (or the legitimate interests of one or more of our affiliates), such as:
allowing us to effectively and efficiently manage and administer the operation of our business;
in order to operate your account properly and provide you with the services;
to manage your account and communicate with you in relation to your account and the services we provide; and maintaining compliance with internal policies and procedures.
TRANSFERS OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE THE EEA
The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the EEA. In particular your information will be transferred to us in the United States. It may also be processed by staff operating outside of the EEA who work for our affiliates or for one of our suppliers.
Where we transfer your personal data outside the EEA, we will ensure that it is protected in a manner that is consistent with how your personal data will be protected by us in the EEA. This can be done in a number of ways, for instance:
the country that we send the data to might be approved by the European Commission; or
the recipient might have signed up to a contract based on “model contractual clauses” approved by the European Commission, obliging them to protect your personal data (this is the basis on which personal data is sent from the EEA to our operations in the United States).
In other circumstances we may be required to transfer of personal data to any country in which Ocean Media or a Ocean Media affiliate conducts business or has a service provider or to other countries for law enforcement purposes.
You can obtain more details of the protection given to your personal data when it is transferred outside the EEA (including a copy of the standard data protection clauses which we have entered into with recipients of your personal data) by contacting us in accordance with the “Questions and Concerns” section below.
RETENTION OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
How long we hold your personal data for will vary. The retention period will be determined by various criteria including:
the purpose for which we are using it – we will need to keep the data for as long as is necessary for that purpose; and
legal obligations – laws or regulation may set a minimum period for which we have to keep your personal data.
YOUR RIGHTS
If you are an EEA resident, you have a number of legal rights in relation to the personal data that we hold about you. These rights include:
the right to obtain information regarding the processing of your personal data and access to the personal data which we hold about you;

Please note that this right only applies to personal data which you have provided to us;
the right to request that we rectify your personal data if it is inaccurate or incomplete;
the right to request that we erase your personal data in certain circumstances. Please note that there may be circumstances where you ask us to erase your personal data, but we are legally entitled or required to retain it;
the right to object to, and the right to request that we restrict, our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. Again, there may be circumstances where you object to, or ask us to restrict, our processing of your personal data but we are legally entitled to continue processing your personal data and / or to refuse that request; and
the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection regulator (details of which are provided below) if you think that any of your rights have been infringed by us.
