Consensys Incorporated

Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are and Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Consensys Incorporated (“Consensys,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you visit consensys.com or otherwise use our products and services (collectively, the “Services”).

This Policy applies to visitors and users worldwide, including individuals in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland, and the United Kingdom (“UK”). Where we act as a data controller with respect to your personal information, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (“FADP”) may apply, and the additional terms noted throughout this Policy apply to you.

2. Personal Information We Collect

Information you provide to us

  • Account and profile information (name, email address, password, account history)

  • Contact information you submit through a form, email, or support request

  • Payment information, where a Service requires payment

  • Other information you choose to share with us, such as feedback or survey responses

Information we collect automatically

  • Device and usage information (browser type, operating system, pages viewed, timestamps)

  • IP address and approximate location derived from it

  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 4)

Information from other sources

  • Service providers and business partners who help us operate the Services

  • Publicly available sources

3. How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information to provide, operate, secure, and improve the Services; to communicate with you, including for support and service-related notices; to personalize your experience; to send marketing communications, which you may opt out of at any time; to detect and prevent fraud and abuse; to comply with our legal obligations; and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Legal bases for processing (EEA, UK, and Switzerland)

If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases for each of the purposes above:

  • Performance of a contract — to provide the Services you request and manage your account

  • Legitimate interests — to improve, personalize, and secure the Services, prevent fraud, and for analytics, balanced against your rights and interests

  • Consent — for marketing communications and non-essential cookies, where required; you may withdraw consent at any time

  • Legal obligation — for recordkeeping, tax, accounting, and anti-money-laundering requirements

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to operate the Services, remember your preferences, and understand how the Services are used, including for analytics and marketing. Where required by law — including for visitors in the EEA and UK — we will request your consent before setting non-essential cookies, through a cookie banner or preference center, and you can change your choices at any time.

5. How We Share Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:

  • Affiliates and group companies

  • Service providers and processors who perform services on our behalf (e.g., hosting, analytics, customer support), under contracts that limit their use of your information

  • Professional advisors, such as auditors, lawyers, and insurers

  • Regulators, law enforcement, or other parties where required by law or to protect our rights

  • A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

  • Other parties with your consent

6. International Data Transfers

Consensys is headquartered in the United States. If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, your personal information will be transferred to and processed in the United States and potentially other countries whose data protection laws may differ from those of your home jurisdiction. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for these transfers, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, and the corresponding Swiss framework. You may request more information about these safeguards using the contact details in Section 13.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, and comply with our legal obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you

  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete information

  • Request deletion of your information

  • Object to, or request that we restrict, certain processing

  • Receive a copy of your information in a portable format

  • Withdraw consent, where processing is based on consent

  • Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights

If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority — for example, the data protection authority in your country of residence, the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), or the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) — in addition to contacting us directly. You can exercise these rights using the contact details in Section 13; we may need to verify your identity first.

9. Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children's Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the relevant age of digital consent in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn we have done so, we will delete it.

The Services may link to third-party websites or services. This Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy notices.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified through the Services or by other reasonable means, and the “Last Updated” date above will reflect the most recent revision.
