2. Blockchain ecosystem

While using our Applications you provide data to BitShares blockchain (“BitShares Blockchain”) that is a public distributed ledger storing all data added thereto. Data is transferred directly by you to BitShares Blockchain by using our Applications. We provide only a graphical user interface. Please be aware that once data has been added to the BitShares Blockchain it becomes public to anyone and cannot be deleted.

We provide to you an application that is stored directly in your computer or your mobile device that displays to you information stored in the BitShares Blockchain and transfers your requests and/or information to the BitShares Blockchain. At this juncture we will process your personal information on your behalf to transfer it to the BitShares Blockchain. We do not collect, transfer, store or process other data that you transfer or receive from BitShares Blockchain.

Applications encrypt information to be transferred to the BitShares Blockchain according to the SHA 256 encryption standard. All encryption processes take part locally on your computer or mobile device.

You may find more information about BitShares Blockchain via the following link: http://how.bitshares.works/en/master/.
