(c) Confidentiality. Coin Communities will ensure that personnel authorized to process Personal Data are subject to appropriate obligations of confidentiality.

(d) Security Measures. Coin Communities will implement and maintain commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect Personal Data against unauthorized or unlawful access, acquisition, disclosure, alteration, loss, destruction, or compromise, taking into account the nature of the processing, the state of the art, implementation costs, and the risks presented by the processing.

(e) Subprocessors. Developer authorizes Coin Communities to engage Affiliates and third-party subprocessors in connection with the provision of the API and the Coin Communities feature. Coin Communities will impose data protection obligations on such subprocessors that are materially protective of Personal Data to a standard substantially similar to those set forth in this Section. Coin Communities will remain responsible for the performance of its subprocessors to the extent required by applicable law.

(f) Data Subject Requests. Taking into account the nature of the processing, Coin Communities will provide commercially reasonable cooperation and assistance to Developer, at Developer’s expense where legally permitted, in responding to requests from data subjects relating to access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, or similar rights under applicable Data Protection Laws. Where Coin Communities receives a request directly from a data subject relating to Personal Data processed on behalf of Developer, Coin Communities may direct the requesting party to Developer unless otherwise required by applicable law.

(g) Security Incidents. Coin Communities will provide Developer with notice without undue delay after becoming aware of a confirmed Security Incident affecting Personal Data processed by Coin Communities on behalf of Developer where such notice is required by applicable law. “Security Incident” means unauthorized access to, acquisition of, or disclosure of Personal Data resulting from a breach of Coin Communities’ security measures. Coin Communities’ notification of a Security Incident is not an acknowledgment of fault or liability.

(h) International Transfers. Developer acknowledges and agrees that Personal Data may be processed in the United States and other jurisdictions in which Coin Communities, its Affiliates, or its subprocessors maintain operations. To the extent required under applicable Data Protection Laws for cross-border transfers of Personal Data, the parties agree that the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, together with any applicable UK addendum or equivalent transfer mechanism, are incorporated by reference into these Terms and apply automatically where legally required.

(i) Deletion and Retention. Upon termination of Developer’s access to the API and the Coin Communities feature, Coin Communities will delete or render inaccessible Personal Data processed on behalf of Developer within a commercially reasonable period, unless retention is required by applicable law, legitimate security purposes, fraud prevention purposes, dispute resolution obligations, backup recovery practices, or other legitimate operational or legal purposes.

(j) Blockchain Data and Public Identifiers. Developer acknowledges and agrees that public blockchain addresses, wallet identifiers, token ownership records, smart contract interactions, transaction history, and related on-chain data may be publicly visible, immutable, independently accessible, and incapable of modification or deletion by Coin Communities. Nothing in this Section obligates Coin Communities to alter, delete, obscure, or render inaccessible information recorded on a public Blockchain Network that Coin Communities does not own or control.

(k) Demonstration of Wallet Control. Where Developer or an End User seeks to exercise rights relating to Personal Data associated with a Digital Wallet or public blockchain address, Coin Communities may require reasonable verification of control over the applicable wallet, including cryptographic signature verification or similar authentication mechanisms, before responding to such request.

(l) CCPA/CPRA Service Provider Terms. To the extent applicable under the CCPA/CPRA, Coin Communities will act as a “service provider” or “contractor” with respect to Personal Information processed on behalf of Developer and will not: (i) sell or share such Personal Information; (ii) retain, use, or disclose such Personal Information outside the direct business relationship between the parties; or (iii) combine such Personal Information with personal information obtained from other sources, except as permitted by applicable law. Nothing in this Section restricts Coin Communities from using Service Data, aggregated data, de-identified data, or anonymized data for lawful business purposes.

Coin Communities does not own or control, and is not responsible for, the availability, performance, security, legality, accuracy, reliability, interoperability, or continued support of any such third-party or open source components, and Coin Communities will have no liability arising out of or relating to any outage, interruption, degradation, delay, malfunction, incompatibility, error, breach, failure, or discontinuation of any such third-party systems, services, software, networks, or infrastructure.

12. Coin Communities Intellectual Property

12.1 Ownership; Limited Branding Use. As between Coin Communities and Developer, Coin Communities and its licensors own and retain all right, title, and interest in and to the API, all related software, SDKs, developer tools, documentation, specifications, interfaces, protocols, technical materials, trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, trade dress, branding, and other Coin Communities names, identifiers, and proprietary materials, together with all goodwill arising from the use thereof. Except for the limited rights expressly set forth in these Terms, no license, right, or interest in or to any of the foregoing is granted to Developer. Subject to Developer’s continued compliance with these Terms, Coin Communities grants Developer a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license during the Term to use Coin Communities’ names and logos solely as reasonably necessary to identify truthful compatibility or interoperability of the Application or Platform with the API or the Coin Communities feature, and solely in accordance with any branding, attribution, usage, or trademark guidelines made available by Coin Communities from time to time. Developer will not use any Coin Communities trademark, logo, or branding in any manner that suggests sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, partnership, approval, or certification by Coin Communities, or in any manner that is misleading, confusing, disparaging, dilutive, or otherwise unauthorized. All use of Coin Communities trademarks, logos, and branding by Developer will inure solely to the benefit of Coin Communities.

From time to time, Coin Communities may make available certain API features, functionality, tools, endpoints, integrations, or related services that are identified as beta, pilot, preview, early access, test, experimental, or by similar designation (collectively, “Beta Features”). Developer acknowledges and agrees that any Beta Features are experimental, may be incomplete, unstable, contain errors or bugs, may not operate as intended, may be modified, limited, suspended, or discontinued at any time, with or without notice, and may never become generally available. Beta Features are provided solely on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without any representations, warranties, covenants, or guarantees of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, and Coin Communities disclaims all warranties with respect to Beta Features, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, availability, performance, accuracy, reliability, security, or uninterrupted operation.

Coin Communities may provide notice of any such changes by posting updated Terms on the Coin Communities Site, through the API documentation or developer portal, by email, or by any other reasonable means. Unless Coin Communities states otherwise, any such changes will become effective upon posting or upon the effective date stated in the notice. Developer’s continued access to, use of, implementation of, or integration with the API or the Coin Communities feature after the effective date of any modified Terms constitutes Developer’s acceptance of the modified Terms. If Developer does not agree to any modified Terms, Developer must immediately cease all access to and use of the API and the Coin Communities feature.

17.5 Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between Developer and Coin Communities with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations, warranties, communications, and proposals, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter.
