If you have any question about this Notice, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact our data protection team using the contact details set out above.

Please use the words ‘Data Protection Matter’ in the subject line.

Set out below are key definitions of certain data protection terms which appear in, and apply to, this Notice.

“data subjects” means living individuals (i.e. natural persons) about whom we collect and process personal data.

“data controller” or “controller” means any entity or individual who determines the purposes for which, and the manner in which, any personal data is processed.

“data processor” or “processor” means any entity or individual that processes data on our behalf and on our instructions (we being the data controller).

“legitimate interest” means our interest to conduct and manage our business affairs appropriately and responsibly, to protect the reputation of our business, and to provide our applicants, investors and subscribers with the best possible service. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us at the following email address: contact@kleanloop.io.

“performance of a contract” means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you or your respective entity are a party, or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract. In the present case, this primarily relates to subscription to our Tokens (including applications to that effect).

“personal data” means data relating to a living individual (i.e. natural person) who can be identified from the data (information) we hold or possess. This includes, but is not limited to, your name and surname (including maiden name where applicable), address, date of birth, nationality, gender, civil status, tax status, identity card number & passport number, contact details (including mobile and home phone number and personal email address), photographic image, bank account details, emergency contact information as well as online identifiers. The term “personal information”, where and when used in this Notice, shall be taken have the same meaning as personal data.

“processing” means any activity that involves use of personal data. It includes obtaining, recording or holding the data, or carrying out any operation or set of operations on the data including, organising, amending, retrieving, using, disclosing, erasing or destroying it. Processing also includes transferring personal data to third parties.

“sensitive personal data”, “sensitive data” or “special categories of personal data” includes information about a person’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health or condition or sexual life, or about the commission of, or proceedings for, any offence committed or alleged to have been committed by that person, the disposal of such proceedings or the sentence of any court in such proceedings. This type of sensitive data can only be processed under strict conditions.

“Comply with a legal obligation” means processing your personal data where it is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation to which we are subject.

Note that personal data does not include information relating to a legal person (such as institutional investors). Information such as a company name, its company number, registered address and VAT number does not amount to personal data under applicable data protection legislation, including the GDPR. Consequently, the collection, use and processing of information which strictly relates to a legal person does not give rise to ‘controller obligations’ at law. We will still naturally treat any and all such information in a confidential manner, in accordance with our standard applicant and investor practices and obligations at law.

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

• the processing is necessary for the detection or prevention of crime (including the prevention of fraud) to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulation;

• the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal rights.

We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely upon to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

We may transfer your personal data to our parent company in Canada in order to streamline administrative reporting and accounting functions and promote business efficiency.

Canada has been recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection (adequacy decision) and any transfers of personal data to our parent company shall take place in accordance with this adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 of the GDPR.

Other International Transfers

Due to the international nature of our business and service providers, your personal data may be transferred and stored in countries outside of the EEA. Some of these countries may have been deemed by the European Commission to have the same level of protection as countries in respect of which EU data protection law applies.

For any such transfer, we will ensure that at least one of the following safeguards applies or is otherwise implemented:

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.

• In the absence of an adequacy decision, we will use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

• Where we use providers based in the U.S., we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.

Please contact us at contact@kleanloop.io if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed (safeguard its integrity and confidentiality). We also regularly review and, where practicable, improve upon these security measures.

Additionally, we have also put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, i.e. the performance and management of our business relationship with you (whilst ongoing), and thereafter:

• for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting, tax or reporting obligations to which we may be subject; and/or

• to the extent that we may also need to retain your personal data to be able to assert, exercise or defend possible future legal claims against or otherwise involving you.

By and large, we will maintain and retain your personal data throughout the period of your business relationship with us and for a further period of six (6) years from the date of its termination. This retention period enables us to make use of your personal data to satisfy any applicable reporting obligations to public authorities and/or for the assertion, filing or defence of possible legal claims by or against you or your respective entity (taking into account applicable prescriptive periods). In certain cases, we may need to retain personal data for a period of up to eleven (11) years in order to comply with applicable accounting and tax laws (this will primarily consist of your transactions records).

There may also be other instances where the need to retain certain items of personal data about you for longer periods, as dictated by the nature of the business relationship and the products and/or services provided.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data. See Request erasure below for further information.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within a period of one month from the date of receiving your request. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

You have the right to:

(i) Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are processing it in a lawful manner..

You may send an email to contact@kleanloop.io requesting information as the personal data which we process. You shall receive one copy free of charge via email of the personal data which is undergoing processing. Any further copies of the information processed shall incur a charge of €10.00.

(ii) Right to information when collecting and processing personal data about you from publicly accessible or third party sources. When this take places, we will inform you, within a reasonable and practicable timeframe, about the third party or publicly accessible source from whom we have collected your personal data.

(iii) Request correction or rectification of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected and/or updated, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. As mentioned, it is in your interest to keep us informed of any changes or updates to your personal data which may occur during the course of your business relationship with us.

(iv) Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where: • there is no good reason for us continuing to process it;

• you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below);

• we may have processed your information unlawfully; or

• we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.

Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. These may include instances where the retention of your personal data is necessary to:

• comply with a legal or regulatory obligation to which we are subject; or

• establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

(v) Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes (as under the ‘Marketing’ in Section 6 above).

In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your personal information that override your rights and freedoms.

(vi) Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

• if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;

• where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;

• where you need us to hold onto the data even if we no longer require it, as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or

• where you have objected to our use of your personal data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

(vii) Request the transfer (data portability) of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

(viii) Withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data (which will generally not be the case). This will not however affect the lawfulness of any processing which we carried out before you withdrew your consent. Any processing activities that are not based on your consent will remain unaffected.

Kindly note that none of these data subject rights are absolute, and must generally be weighed against our own legal obligations and legitimate interests. If a decision is taken to override your data subject request, you will be informed of this by our data protection team along with the reasons for our decision.

You have the right to lodge a complaint at any time to a competent supervisory authority on data protection matters, such as in particular the supervisory authority in the place of your habitual residence or your place of work. In the case of Malta, this is the Office of the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (the “IDPC”) (https://idpc.org.mt/en/Pages/Home.aspx). We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to deal with your concerns before you approach the supervisory authority, so please contact us in the first instance.
