2. Hathor-based Products And Privacy

We develop software products for use with the Hathor blockchain network. Our software is designed, in line with the ethos of cryptocurrency, to respect your privacy. We take your privacy seriously and generally design our products using “privacy by design” as a guiding principle which means that we have tried to reduce the privacy impact of using our products, from inception. 

Although there is very little information attributable to an individual that is generally implicated in our products, where such information is made available (by you) or is required by you, we have taken steps to minimize the privacy impact on you. We strive to consistently improve our privacy practices, while also balancing other factors such as usability, Canadian law, and the long-term viability of our software. 

3. Personal Information

The personal information that we collect varies, depending on the product and the purposes for which the product is made available to you. In some cases we may also collect personal information in order to comply with Canadian laws (e.g. tax laws.)

All HTRFDT websites and applications use TLS encryption to protect information transmitted from you to us, and vice versa. HTRFDT makes use of industry-standard security methods, or better, to safeguard personal information, proprietary data, and application information. Where feasible, we encrypt information at rest. If you choose to make use of email, social media messages, or other public/unencrypted methods of communication then your communication with us may in some cases be accessible to third parties. You may write to us to establish a secure communications channel if you would like to communicate securely with our developers, customer support, business development staff, or other personnel of HTRFDT.
