2. DEFINITIONS
Digital Asset
“Digital Asset” means a digital asset (also called a “virtual financial asset”, “convertible virtual currency”, “cryptocurrency”, “virtual currency”, “digital currency”, “digital commodity”, or “digital payment token”), which is based on the cryptographic protocol of a computer network that may be (i) centralized or decentralized; (ii) closed or open-source; and (iii) used as a medium of exchange and/or store of value.
Personal Data
“Personal Data” typically means any information which, either alone or in combination with other data, enables you to be directly or indirectly identified, such as your name, email address, username, contact details, identification number, location data, an online identifier such as a complete IP address, device ID, or one or more factors specific to the physical, economic, cultural, or social identity of you. Only the personal data from applicable national law of your legal residence will apply to you and be deemed your Personal Data.
For Australian users, we will not adopt identifiers assigned by the Government (such as drivers' license numbers) for our own file recording purposes, unless one of the exemptions in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the “Privacy Act”) applies. Under Australian law, Personal Data is referred to as 'personal information' and has the same meaning.

We recognise the importance of securing the Personal Data of our users. We take steps to ensure your Personal Data is protected from misuse, interference or loss, and unauthorized access, modification or disclosure.
Your Personal Data is generally stored in our or our affiliates’ computer databases and/or with third party storage providers. In relation to information that is held on our computer database, we apply data security guidelines to ensure that your Personal Data is managed securely. For more information, refer to the section below entitled "Information Security".
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of the country of your residence. It may also be processed by staff operating outside of your residence who work for us or for one of our suppliers. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing, except users located in the EEA, as detailed in the section below “Collection and Transfer of Data Outside of the EEA”.
We retain your Personal Data for as long as is reasonably necessary to provide services to you, for our legitimate business purposes, and to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

Okcoin is a global business and Personal Data may be stored and processed in any country where we have operations or where we engage service providers. We may disclose information to third party storage providers or affiliates that are located outside your country of residence or disclose to third-party storage providers or affiliates that are located outside your country of residence.
We may transfer Personal Data that we maintain about you to recipients in countries other than the country in which the Personal Data was originally collected. Those other countries may have data protection or privacy rules that are different from those of your country. However, we will take measures to ensure that any such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and that your Personal Data remains protected to the standards described in this Privacy Policy.

If an Australian user consents to their Personal Data being disclosed to an overseas recipient, and the recipient breaches the APPs, we will not be accountable for that breach under the Privacy Act, and you will not be able to seek redress under the Privacy Act.
In relation to residents of Singapore and Brunei, we will apply a level of protection to the Personal Data transferred outside Singapore that is at least comparable to the protection provided under each of the following (collectively, the “Transfer Regulations”): (a) the Singapore Personal Data Protection Act 2012; (b) any applicable laws of the other countries to which your Personal Data will be transferred; and (c) this Privacy Policy. We will apply the greater standard of protection to the transferred Personal Data if any Transfer Regulation provides a greater standard of protection than another Transfer Regulation.
Collection and Transfer of Data Outside of The EEA
As discussed above, we collect Personal Data from users located in the EEA. To facilitate the Services we provide to users located in the EEA, we request explicit consent for the transfer of Personal Data from the EEA to outside of the area. If you are an individual located in the EEA and you decline to consent to such a transfer, you will no longer be able to use Okcoin and our Services. You will have the ability to withdraw your Digital Assets and fiat currency; however, all other functionalities will be disabled.
If you are located in the EEA, we comply with applicable laws to provide an adequate level of data protection for the transfer of your Personal Data to other countries outside of the EEA. Okcoin relies on data processing agreements and the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses to facilitate the transfer of such Personal Data. We may transfer Personal Data from the EEA to countries outside of the EEA where the transfers are necessary to satisfy our obligations to you under our Terms of Service (including providing you with our Services and optimizing and enhancing Okcoin) and where, to the extent applicable, you have consented to the transfer of your personal data to a country outside of the EEA.
9. ACCESS, CORRECTION, AND DELETION OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Subject to certain exceptions prescribed by applicable law, you have the right to obtain a copy of your Personal Data upon request and ascertain whether the information we hold about you is accurate and up-to-date. We will provide access within 30 days of your request. If we refuse to provide the information, we will provide reasons for the refusal. We will require identity verification and specification of what information is required before providing you with access. If any of your Personal Data is inaccurate, you may request to update your information. Where we are satisfied that the request to update the information is accurate, we will take reasonable steps to correct the information within 30 days, unless you agree otherwise. You may also request to delete your Personal Data, with the exception that we may refuse your deletion request in certain circumstances, such as compliance with applicable law or legal obligations. For data access, correction, or deletion requests, or to request withdrawal of your previously provided consent, please contact support@okcoin.com with the subject “DATA INQUIRY”.
In response to data access, correction, or deletion requests, we will verify the requesting party’s identity to ensure that they are legally entitled to make such request. While we aim to respond to these requests free of charge, we reserve the right to charge you a reasonable fee should your request be repetitive or onerous. Please note that you may not be able to continue receiving the Services, depending on the extent of your withdrawal of consent.
10. CHILDRENS’ PERSONAL DATA
Okcoin does not knowingly offer services to or collect the Personal Data of anyone under the age of 18. If we learn that we have collected Personal Data of anyone under the age of 18, we will promptly delete it from our systems. If you are aware of anyone under the age of 18 using our Services, please notify us so we can take prompt action to prevent access to our Services.
11. IDENTITY VERIFICATION AND BIOMETRIC DATA PRIVACY POLICY
To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and other legal obligations in the United States and in other countries, including “know your customer” obligations, we require all users to verify their identity before using our Services.
In order to verify a user’s identity for the use of certain Services, the user is asked to capture an image of their government ID (e.g., a passport or driver’s license) and take a real-time selfie image of their face. We provide those images to our identity verification service provider, who then uses a combination of machine learning tools and statistical algorithms to confirm the authenticity of the government ID and selfie image, and to perform biometric facial comparisons to determine whether the face contained in the government ID and selfie image belong to the same person. Through this process, the verification service provider will typically generate a confidence score representing the confidence level that the images of the individuals match, which we or the relevant service provider may use in determining the level of confidence that the individual submitting the selfie image is the same person as the individual on the government ID.
We do not receive, store, or collect any facial biometric information generated by our third-party identity verification service provider from the images, and our identity verification service provider retains biometric information only as long as necessary for us to provide our Service to you and to help us comply with our legal obligations. We do not use, disclose, or retain facial biometric information for any other commercial purpose. However, we do retain the information and images you provide in connection with the identity verification process, along with the results of the identity check, as long as necessary to provide our service to you and to comply with our legal obligations.
We currently use identity verification services provided by Au10tix. For additional information about our current identity verification service provider’s biometric data practices, please review the Au10tix Biometric Data Policy.
12. MARKETING
We may only use Personal Data we collect from you for the purposes of direct marketing without your consent if the Personal Data does not include Sensitive Information, you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose the information for the purpose of direct marketing, we provide a simple way of opting out of direct marketing, and you have not requested to opt out of receiving direct marketing from us.
If we collect Personal Data about you from a third party, we will only use that information for the purposes of direct marketing if you have consented (or it is impracticable to obtain your consent), and we will provide a simple means by which you can easily request not to receive direct marketing communications from us. We will draw your attention to the fact that you may make such a request in our direct marketing communications.
You have the right to request us not to use or disclose your Personal Data for the purposes of direct marketing, or for the purposes of facilitating direct marketing by other organizations. We must give effect to the request within a reasonable period of time. You may also request that we provide you with the source of the information. If such a request is made, we must notify you of the source of the information free of charge within a reasonable period of time.
