Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 14, 2022

Thank you for visiting the website or mobile application (together, the “Site”) owned and operated by of Electric Solidus, Inc. (“Swan” or “we”). We respect your privacy and want to protect your personal information. To learn more, please read this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and, under certain conditions, disclose your personal information. This Privacy Policy also explains the steps we have taken to secure your personal information. Finally, this Privacy Policy explains your options regarding the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information. By visiting the Site, you accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy for the Site.

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site. This Privacy Policy does not necessarily apply to any offline collection of your personal information. Please see below for details.

1. INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

We collect information from you in several different ways on the Site. One goal in collecting personal information from you is to provide an efficient, meaningful, and customized experience. For example, we can use your personal information to:

• provide you with the services we offer.
• help make the Site easier for you to use by not having to enter information more than once.
• help you quickly find information, products, and services.
• help us create content on the Site that is most relevant to you.
• alert you to new information, products, and services that we offer.

(a) Registration and Purchasing. Before using certain parts of the Site or using our services, you may have to register. During registration, you will be prompted to provide to us certain personal information, which may include, but not be limited to, your name, mobile phone number, physical address, email address, social security number, date of birth and government-issued identification. These kinds of personal information are used to provide services to you in accordance with existing regulations, to assist third-party service providers to provide services to you, to communicate with you about our services and our Site, and for marketing purposes. If we encounter a problem when providing services, we use the personal information to contact you.

(b) Email Addresses. Several locations of the Site may permit you to enter or for us to capture your email address for purposes including but not limited to: to register for promotions, referral programs or services; or to request us to notify you regarding particular promotions, referral programs or services. Your participation in a promotion or referral program is completely voluntary, so you have a choice whether to participate and disclose information to us. We use this information to notify promotion winners, pay referral fees and to award prizes.

(c) Cookies and Other Technology. Like many websites, the Site employs cookies, location-based services and web beacons (also known as clear GIF technology or “action tags”) to speed your navigation of the Site, recognize you and your access privileges, and track your usage.

• (i) The Site captures some information about you automatically utilizing

background local storage and session storage technologies (“Cookies”) in order to improve the user experience. Cookies are small files or other pieces of data which are downloaded or stored on your computer or other device, that can be tied to information about your use of the Site (including certain third-party services and features offered as part of our website). Examples of information of this type are your IP address, the browser you are using, the operating system you are using, the pages on the website that you visit and details of your transaction activity, such as the amount, date and time for each transaction. When we use Cookies, we may use “session” Cookies that last until you close your browser or “persistent” cookies that last until you or your browser delete them. You may change your browser setting to decline the use of Cookies. THE SITE’S COOKIES DO NOT AND CANNOT INFILTRATE A USER’S HARD DRIVE TO GATHER A USER’S CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Our Cookies are not “spyware.”

Privacy settings.

• (ii) Web beacons assist in delivering cookies and help us determine whether a

web page on the Site has been viewed and, if so, how many times. For example, any electronic image on the Site, such as an ad banner, can function as a web beacon. We may also use web beacons to collect information about whether our electronic communications to our users have been delivered, viewed and opened. This data may impact the quantity and content of future communications from us to our users.

• (iii) We may use third-party companies to help us tailor Site content to

users or to serve ads or messages on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and web beacons to measure advertising or messaging effectiveness (such as which web pages are visited, which messages are responded to, or what products are purchased and in what amount). Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and web beacons is not linked (by them) to any personal information collected by us.

• (d) Log Files. As is true of most websites, the Site automatically recognizes

the Internet URL or location from which you access the Site. We may also log your Internet protocol (“IP”) address, Internet service provider, and date/time stamp for system administration, order verification, marketing, and system troubleshooting purposes. An IP address may indicate the location of your computer on the Internet.

• (e) Age Requirement. We do not knowingly collect information from users of

the Site under the age of 18 and/or their Internet usage, and such persons are not authorized to use the Site. If we obtain actual knowledge that a user is under the age of 18, then we will take steps to remove that user’s personal information from our databases. By using the Site, you represent that you are at least 18 years old. You also represent, by accessing or using the Site, that you are of legal age to enter into legal agreements, or if you are not, that you have obtained your parent’s or legal guardian’s consent to accept the terms in this Privacy Policy.

2. INFORMATION USE AND DISCLOSURE.

(a) Internal Use. We use your personal information to provide you with our services. We may internally use your personal information to improve the Site’s content and layout, to improve our outreach and for our own marketing efforts (including marketing our services to you), and to determine general marketplace information about visitors’ usage behavior to the Site.

(b) Communications with You. We will use your personal information to communicate with you about the Site, your use of our services, and new information available on the Site. Also, we may send you a confirmation email when you register with us or when you have received a gift from another person. We may send you a service-related announcement on the rare occasions when it is necessary (for example, if we must temporarily suspend our service for maintenance.) Also, we will send you a notification email or text message when you request us to notify you when particular services, promotions or referral programs become available or change. We always permit you to unsubscribe from promotional notifications. Because we have to communicate with you about our services that you choose to use, you cannot opt out of receiving emails related to those services or your account with us.

(c) External Use.

• (i) We disclose information to our service providers to help enable them to

perform services on your behalf. For example, in order to purchase and custody bitcoin (BTC) (“bitcoin”), we must share some information with third parties, such as your name, email address, physical address, social security number, date of birth, government-issued identification and the amount of bitcoin being purchased. Similarly, when we obtain bank account information for ACH transaction and credit card or debit card information, a third-party receives that information to process the payment in connection with the sale of bitcoin. Even when you ask us to remember your bank account information, or credit card or debit card information, we do not store sensitive payment data such as the entire credit card number and CVC. Rather, we pass the payment data to the third-party processor and receive back from them a token that does not contain the sensitive data. We do retain non-sensitive payment data used to identify a payment such as the last four digits of a card number and expiration date.

• (ii) It is possible that we might merge with or be acquired by another

company or that we might dispose of some or all of our assets. If that happens, then your personal information may be disclosed to another company, but that disclosure will be subject to the Privacy Policy in effect.

• (iii) We may be required to disclose certain information in response to

requests from law-enforcement officials conducting investigations; subpoenas; a court order; or if we are otherwise required to disclose such information by law. We also will release personal information where disclosure is necessary to protect our legal rights, enforce other agreements, or to protect ourselves or others. For example, we may share information to reduce the risk of fraud or if someone uses or attempts to use the Site for illegal reasons or to commit fraud.

• (iv) We may share non-personal information (such as the number of daily

visitors to the Site or the size of an order placed on a certain date) with third parties. This information does not directly personally identify you or any user. For the avoidance of doubt, any IP addresses or a device or other identifier we collect may be shared with one or more third parties.

3. YOUR RIGHTS, CHOICES AND DISCLOSURES

4. STORAGE OF DATA; DATA SECURITY

We retain the personal information we collect for so long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the data was collected and to perform our contractual and legal obligations. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, we store email addresses and phone numbers until the user requests to be unsubscribed or removes themselves through any self-service tools offered to the user.

The Site incorporates physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information, including Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) for all transactions through the Site. We use SSL encryption to protect your personal information online, and we also take several steps to protect your personal information in our facilities. Access to your personal information is restricted. Only employees who need access to your personal information to perform a specific job are granted access to your personal information. Finally, we rely on third-party service providers for the physical security of some of our computer hardware. We require those third-party service providers to comply with commercially reasonable security practices and measures. For example, when you visit our Site, you access servers that are kept in a secure physical environment, behind a locked cage and an electronic firewall. While we use industry-standard precautions to safeguard your personal information, we cannot and do not guarantee complete security. 100% complete security does not presently exist anywhere online or offline. As such, you assume the risk of security breaches and all consequences resulting from them. To that end, please safeguard your credentials.

Please be advised that through your continued use of the Site, which is governed by California law, this Privacy Policy, and our Terms of Use, your personal information will be held in the United States and you expressly consent thereto and consent to be governed by California law for these purposes.

6. LINKS TO OTHER SITES

The Site may contain links to other websites for your convenience or information. These websites may be operated by companies unaffiliated with the Company, and we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those websites. Linked websites may have their own terms of use and privacy policies, and we encourage you to review those policies whenever you visit the websites.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time and without prior notice to you to reflect changes in our information practices, and any such amendments shall apply to information already collected and to be collected.
