1. This Privacy Notice

Please carefully read this Privacy Notice as it provides you with information about your personal data being processed in connection with your access to and use of the Website and Communication Channels. This Privacy Notice explains which types of personal data we hold on you, how we collect and process such data, how long we keep it, and so on.

2. Interpretation

Unless otherwise provided in this Privacy Notice, capitalised terms used in this Privacy Notice have the meaning determined in the XMAQUINA Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”). You should read the Terms carefully as they affect your obligations and legal rights. In this Privacy Notice, “personal data” and “personal information” are synonyms. They refer to any information that identifies or can reasonably identify you, either directly or indirectly.

3. Contact Details

We, XMAQUINA Foundation established under the laws of the Cayman Islands, are the data controller for the data collected under this Privacy Notice, meaning we determine how and why your data is processed. If you have any questions about this Privacy Notice or your data processing, please contact us at: hello@xmaquina.io.

4. Type of Data

The categories of personal data collected depend on how you interact with us, use the Website, and the requirements of the applicable laws. We collect and process the following types of personal data:

a. Application Data

This includes your name, email address, links to social media accounts, resume or cover letter, and other information you choose to provide us with.

b. Wallet Data

This includes Wallet addresses, which are public blockchain addresses associated with your Wallet. While a Wallet address alone does not identify a specific individual, when combined with other data (such as a nickname or email address), it may enable identification. As a result, such combined data could be considered personal information.

c. Marketing Data

This includes your email address.

d. Technical Data

This includes information collected by log files, including internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and the number of clicks. 

e. Community Data

This may include your nickname, name, photos, messages, comments, and other information you share in our Communication Channels. Under the law, we may be a data controller or joint data controller with the provider of each Communication Channel. If we are joint controllers, you can exercise your data protection rights regarding the Community Data with either us or the provider of the respective Communication Channel. However, we can only help with processing operations explicitly described in this Privacy Notice. For any other data processing, the provider acts as an independent data controller.

f. Contact Data

This may include name, contact details, social media account handles, and other data, depending on what information you provide to us. Please do not provide personal data unless it is reasonably necessary or requested by us. Note that we may also collect certain other information, which may be required under the applicable laws.

This data is collected through cookies — small files placed on your device (e.g., computer, smartphone, tablet) that help recognise it during interactions with the Website (the “Cookies”). Cookies use unique identifiers and, in some cases, may qualify as personal data as they can uniquely identify a device’s user without revealing their real identity.
