Privacy Policy

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Valtorum ("Valtorum," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit valtorum.com, read our materials, interact with our forms, or use interfaces that relate to USDV, Valtorum's synthetic decentralized dollar.

USDV is designed for multi-chain settlement and self-custody. Blockchain activity is different from ordinary web activity: public wallet addresses, transactions, contract interactions, and token movements may be permanently visible on public or Permissioned networks. This Policy covers information we process through our websites and interfaces; it does not make public blockchains private or reversible.

Information We Collect

We collect information in a limited, purpose-driven way. Depending on how you use the site or related interfaces, we may process the following categories:

• Contact information: name, email address, organization, role, Telegram or social handle, and other information you choose to submit when contacting us, requesting access, joining a waitlist, or asking for support.
• Device and usage information: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, approximate region, timestamps, and diagnostic logs.
• Wallet and blockchain information: public wallet addresses, transaction hashes, token balances, chain identifiers, smart contract interactions, and other data visible on supported networks such as XRPL, Stellar, Solana, Sui, and Ethereum.
• Compliance information: information needed to evaluate eligibility, sanctions restrictions, abuse prevention, fraud prevention, or legal obligations, if and when such checks are required.
• Communications: messages, attachments, support requests, feedback, survey responses, and records of our responses.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information unless it is required for a specific compliance, security, or legal purpose and you are informed at the point of collection.

How We Use Information

We use information to operate, secure, and improve Valtorum and USDV-related interfaces. This includes:

• Providing websites, dashboards, documentation, technical materials, and user support.
• Responding to inquiries, partnership requests, governance participation requests, and developer communications.
• Monitoring site reliability, debugging errors, measuring page performance, and improving user experience.
• Protecting users, Valtorum, and the protocol ecosystem from fraud, spam, misuse, security threats, sanctions evasion, or illegal activity.
• Understanding aggregate usage trends, without trying to identify individuals where aggregate data is sufficient.
• Complying with applicable law, legal process, regulatory requests, contractual obligations, and enforceable rights.

Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, local storage, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to keep the site functional, understand traffic, remember preferences, measure performance, and protect against abuse.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect certain features, including forms, dashboards, wallet connection flows, or security controls.

If we use third-party analytics providers, they may process device and usage data according to their own policies and our configuration choices. We aim to use analytics in a privacy-conscious way and avoid collecting more information than needed.

Public Blockchain Data

When you interact with public blockchain networks, your activity may be publicly observable and permanently recorded. This may include wallet addresses, transaction amounts, timing, smart contracts used, token balances, and relationships between addresses.

Valtorum cannot delete, edit, hide, reverse, or anonymize information that has already been written to public blockchains by you, by third parties, or by smart contracts. You should consider wallet hygiene, address separation, and operational privacy before interacting with any blockchain system.

How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information only when there is a legitimate reason to do so, including:

• Service providers: infrastructure, hosting, analytics, security, communications, support, compliance, and professional service providers working on our behalf.
• Security and abuse prevention: wallet screening, threat intelligence, fraud prevention, incident response, and network-protection partners.
• Legal and compliance: courts, regulators, law enforcement, government authorities, or other parties when we believe disclosure is required or appropriate under applicable law.
• Business transactions: in connection with a merger, restructuring, financing, acquisition, asset sale, or similar corporate event, subject to appropriate safeguards.
• With your direction or consent: when you ask us to share information or connect with a third-party service.

Public blockchain data may be independently visible to anyone and may be indexed by explorers, analytics companies, wallets, applications, and other third parties without our involvement.

Retention and Security

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including security, operations, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and records management. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and context.

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure. No website, protocol, wallet, bridge, smart contract, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be fully secure.

Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, or withdrawal of consent. You may also have the right to opt out of certain data sharing or targeted advertising if applicable law provides that right.

California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, including the right to know, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, and not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights. We do not knowingly sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are commonly understood under California privacy law.

To exercise rights, contact us at legal@valtorum.com. We may need to verify your request before responding. If your request involves a blockchain address, we may ask you to prove control of that address without asking for your private key or seed phrase.

International Transfers

Valtorum is built for a global audience. Information may be processed in countries other than where you live. Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from your jurisdiction. When required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

Children

Valtorum websites and USDV-related interfaces are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 or the minimum age required by applicable local law. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Changes and Contact

We may update this Privacy Policy as Valtorum, USDV, regulations, and protocol interfaces evolve. The effective date above tells you when this version became effective. Material changes will be communicated through the website or another reasonable method.
