H. Personal Data Risks Associated with Virtual Assets

Be aware that bitcoin, ether, and other Virtual Assets are not anonymous. Anyone can see the balance and transaction history of any Virtual Asset address (public key). We, and any others who can match your Virtual Asset 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.
