We post changes to our privacy policy on occasion; however, we will not reduce your rights under this privacy policy without your explicit consent. We therefore recommend that you consult this page frequently or at any time should concerns arise. If any significant changes are made, as is required by law, we will notify all of our site users. Furthermore, if changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of privacy policy changes).
PLEASE READ THE PRIVACY POLICY SET OUT HEREIN CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY CRYPTOZILLA. BY USING OR ACCESSING THE WEBSITE CRYPTOZILLA.COM, THE PLATFORM CONTAINED THEREIN OR THE SERVICES OFFERED BY CRYPTOZILLA, YOU AGREE THAT THIS PRIVACY POLICY SHALL APPLY TO IT.

Collecting Personal Information
There are three categories of personal information collected by our system when you access the CRYPTOZILLA platform.
1. Automatically transferred information sent from your computer or mobile device
This information is routinely collected by most websites you visit and may include:
- Your IP address and geolocation
- Information about the device such as device type, operating system, network information
- Web log info such as browser type, and navigation path (links followed, etc.)
- Pages viewed on the site and how long
* We do not knowingly collect this information from any user under 18 years of age. An individual under the age of 18 should not use the services or provide any personal information to us. If we become aware that an individual under 18 years of age has shared any of their information, we will discard such information. If you have any reason to believe that a minor has shared any information with us, please contact us at: [email protected].
2. Personal contact and financial information willingly provided
This information is limited to what the user personally enters into the system when opening or updating an account and may include:
- Contact Information such as name, address, phone, email, Skype or other messenger addresses
- Financial information such as a credit card image with your face (selfie) hiding the middle digits as part of our KYC control or bank account, transfer or routing numbers
- Identifying documents, such as proof of identity, proof of residence and proof of funds. Such documents and information may contain Personal Information, such as identification numbers, passport, tax registration number, etc.
This information is required in order to open an account as well as for account verification and fraud prevention. Users who sign up for the CRYPTOZILLA exchange in addition to using the wallet may be required to enter more information for account verification purposes. This may include a copy of a Government-issued ID. In such cases we may also seek out information from third parties such as credit bureaus or banks.
Some users may choose to provide us with personal information such as social media accounts like Facebook or Twitter in order to link accounts or verify personal information. Sharing such information constitutes consent to allow CRYPTOZILLA to store this information in your account. It does not give us the ability or right to share that information with any third party or to post on or use your social media account in any way.
3. Information about your transactions and website activities
All of your account activity is logged in the system. This includes your pending and past transactions, currency balances, and more. This is to protect your account as well as other CRYPTOZILLA account holders from fraud as well as malicious software and security breaches such as by spyware or other malware that may cause harm to you or other CRYPTOZILLA users.
* We may anonymize or de-identify the information collected by the services or via other means so that the information cannot, on its own, personally identify you. Our use and disclosure of such aggregated or de-identified information is not subject to any restrictions under this privacy policy, and we may disclose it to others without limitation and for any purpose. However, if we combine personal information with non-personal information, the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.
Storing and Protecting Your Information
The information discussed in this privacy policy is limited to personal information that may be used to identify a specific person. This differs from anonymous information which cannot in any way be used to identify you. All the information we store that may in any way be used to identify you is treated with the greatest degree of caution. Your security is of primary importance to us. We will not be using all the technology available to us for any unauthorized use, access, leak, changes, or loss to your personal information.
To this end, we store all customer information in secure environments. Blockchain information is stored in cold storage, offline. We comply with all regional and international laws in terms of the safeguarding of all our customers’ privacy and information. We restrict access to all of our infrastructure, both physical and online. We authorize access to customer information only to staff who require access to fulfil their job responsibilities. All staff with access to sensitive information are monitored and properly trained to ensure compliance with regulations.
We securely store all customer information throughout the duration of their use of CRYPTOZILLA as well as for up to five years following termination thereof in order to comply with all laws and resolve any disputes regarding transaction history.

The information we collect is primarily intended to facilitate account access and provide smooth functionality of the site and its features. The ways in which we make use of the information may include:
- To provide site functions and customer service
- To communicate with you and to keep you informed of our latest updates and services

- To process transactions and exchanges as well as notify you of such transactions
- To collect fees

CRYPTOZILLA will not make use of your personal information in any way other than the above listed purposes except with your explicit permission. We may request such permission in rare instances where, for instance, sharing your information may improve our services or facilitate joint services. You will always be given the chance to accept or decline the sharing of your information in this way.
Sharing Your Information with Third Parties
In the transfer of your funds from and to your bank account or credit card as well as the transfer of digital currencies to and from third party wallets, account information is shared both by CRYPTOZILLA and by the third party which may identify you to either party. This includes account and financial information as well as your contact information for identity verification and fraud prevention. We may use this information in order to confirm your identity in connection with the transfers in and out of your account. We share the information pertinent to the transfer with third parties at the other end of the transaction. For instance, we use the various service providers to process credit card to Bitcoin transfers and we allow transfers to and from our digital currency wallet to numerous other wallets.
In addition, your personal information may be disclosed to other trusted third party service providers or partners for the purpose of storing or processing personal information on our behalf (e.g. cloud computing storage); assisting us with our business operations (e.g. network infrastructure, transaction monitoring, security, etc.); performing research, technical diagnostics and analytics with regard to the services we offer; and communicating promotional and informational materials in accordance with our marketing policy.
We may disclose personal information, or any information you submitted to us, if we have a reason to believe in good faith that disclosure of such information is helpful or reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; enforce our policies (including our terms & conditions), including investigations of potential violations thereof; investigate, detect, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities or other wrongdoing, suspected fraud or security issues; establish or exercise our rights to defend against legal claims; prevent harm to our rights, property or safety and those of our users, yourself or any third party; or for the purpose of collaborating with law enforcement agencies and/or in case we find it necessary in order to enforce intellectual property or other legal rights.
Please be aware that each third party has its own privacy policy and practices relating to their use and protection of personal information. CRYPTOZILLA does not control their information sharing practices external to transactions directly to and from our platform. We recommend referencing their privacy policies if you have any concerns.
Inclusion of a link to third party website, application or service is not a recommendation of such a website, application or service. Third party sites may contain information or service that is illegal, unreasonable or that some people may find inappropriate or offensive. Before using third party sites, applications or services, we recommend you read and understand the terms and conditions thereof, as well as their warranty and privacy policies, and ensure you agree to their terms. You acknowledge that we are not responsible for the products, services or descriptions of those products or services that you receive from third party sites or applications or to the content or privacy practices of those sites, and that this privacy policy does not apply to any such third party products and services.
