HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION
By providing you with products or services, we create records
containing your information, such as customer account records and activity and

type of record, the nature of the activity, product or service, the country in
which the relevant Antalpha company is located and
the applicable local legal or regulatory requirements.
We (and other Antalpha group
companies) normally keep customer account records for up to six years after
your relationship with Antalpha ends. Retention
periods may be changed from time to time (or waived where deemed low-risk)
based on business or legal and regulatory requirements.
If there has been any transactional activity on your account, we
will maintain your data until you request that we delete it, unless we are
obligated to maintain such data to comply with our legal obligations. We may on
exception retain your information for longer periods than those stated above,
particularly where we need to withhold destruction or disposal based on an
order from the courts or an investigation by law enforcement agencies or our
regulators. This is intended to make sure that Antalpha
will be able to produce records as evidence, if they’re needed.
We will endeavor to anonymise or
aggregate your data if we intend to use it for analytical purposes or trend
analysis.
Antalpha
will use reasonable endeavours to maintain
appropriate physical, electronic and organisational
procedures to ensure that your personal data and other data is treated securely
and in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and to protect such data against
unauthorized access or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of
data.
Once we have received your information, we will use strict
procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access. Antalpha does not give any representation, warranty or
undertaking that the personal data you provide to us will be secure at all
times, and to the extent Antalpha has fulfilled its
obligations under no circumstances shall Antalpha be
responsible for any losses, damages, costs and expenses which you may suffer or
incur arising from unauthorised access to or use of
your personal data.
