4.1 "Personal Data" means
4.1.1 - any data relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; or
4.1.2 - “personal data,” “personal information,” “personally identifiable information” or similar term as defined under applicable data protection laws.
4.2 The amount and types of Personal Data that we collect and process depends on the nature of your interaction with us. Generally, we may collect and process the following:
4.2.1 - Account and profile information, such as email addresses, passwords and/or blockchain wallet
addresses,
4.2.2 - Payment and transaction information, such as the name of the credit/debit cardholder,
credit/debit card number, country, city, state, address, and/or blockchain wallet transactions.
We may use third-party vendors to collect and process payment information;
4.2.3 - Contact information, such as usernames in third party services such as Telegram or Discord,
first and last names, email addresses, professional titles, company names, and/or phone
numbers;
4.2.4 - Technical information and usage data, such as statistical and site-related information relating
to how a visitor arrived at our websites or platforms, the IP address which may provide
information about precise or approximate location, device information, clickstream
information and time stamp, and information about how you use our websites and services.
We may automatically receive and record such information from our server logs or cookies.
For more information, please see the section on Cookies below;
4.2.5 - Marketing and communications data, such as your preferences in receiving marketing
messages from us, your communication preferences and history of communications with us,
our service providers or third parties; and/or
4.2.6 - Other information, which may include your participation in our contests, promotions, or
surveys, and photographs, videos and/or audio recordings taken by us or our representatives
4.3 We may collect and process information from third-party sources, which may consist of publicly available records, social media platforms, and blockchain data about the records or transaction histories of blockchain wallet addresses.
4.4 We may also offer referral features that help users invite other users to use our services, and we may collect Personal Data (such as contact details) about these invitees or referrals. Please do not refer someone to us or share their contact details or Personal Data without their permission or consent to do so.
4.5 Although the labelling of blockchain wallet addresses is a vital aspect of our operations, we do not employ the Personal Data of our users (e.g., blockchain wallet addresses in their account or profile information) to append or disclose such labels or any other means of identifying any individual as the owner of any specific blockchain wallet address.
4.6 Furthermore, we undertake no other measures that may reveal the identity of any individual as the owner of a specific blockchain wallet address or otherwise make them identifiable, while taking into consideration the methods likely to be employed for identification. At Orus, we lack the technical capability to carry out such identification of blockchain wallet address owners ourselves. We have also implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure that no such identification occurs during the course of our regular operations. There may be exceptional cases to this policy, such as adding labels regarding a high-profile public figure who has publicly declared their blockchain wallet address; however, these instances account for a statistically insignificant portion of the blockchain wallet address-related information we use to furnish our websites and services.
Subject to applicable law, your Personal Data may be provided, for the purposes listed above (where applicable), to the following entities or parties
5.1 vendors, agents, service providers and other organisations who we engage to provide goods and services either independently or on our behalf in connection with any of the purposes listed above in this Privacy Policy, such as payment processors, cloud service providers, analytics and search engine providers, marketing partners, and customer support;
5.2 any business partner, investor, assignee or transferee (actual or prospective) to facilitate business asset transactions (which may extend to any merger, acquisition or any debt or asset sale);

5.4 relevant government regulators, ministries, statutory boards or authorities and/or law enforcement agencies, to comply with any directions, laws, rules, guidelines, regulations or requests issued or administered by any of them; and/or
5.5 any other party to whom you authorise us to disclose your Personal Data to.
