Privacy Notice

Last updated: 20 June 2026

This Privacy Notice explains how Meridian LLC (the "Operator", "we") handles information in connection with the Platform. It forms part of the Terms of Service. The Platform operates on a non-custodial basis and does not currently carry out identity verification (KYC). The information we handle is described in this Notice.

1. Information we handle

(a) Wallet address and on-chain activity associated with your use of the Platform;

(b) Acceptance record — the fact, time and version of your acceptance of these documents, and your wallet signature, retained as evidence;

(c) Device and usage data — IP address, device and browser information, and log and usage data generated when you access the Platform;

(d) Geolocation / geoblocking data — information used to determine whether access is permitted from your location and to enforce Restricted Jurisdiction controls;

(e) Analytics / cookie data — information collected through analytics tools and cookies or similar technologies (see clause 6);

(f) Support and communications data — information you provide when you contact us (for example, by email, ticketing, Telegram, Discord or similar), and our correspondence with you; and

(g) Contact, account and marketing data — contact details you provide or make available to us, such as your name, email address, telephone number and social media handles, together with referral, attribution, pipeline, CRM, waitlist, campaign-source and business-development information generated when you interact with us, our marketing, referral flows or account-management features. Where you access the Platform using a social or wallet-linked sign-in, your email address, telephone number or social handle may be associated with your wallet address. We do not use this information to carry out identity verification (KYC), although in some cases it may be capable of identifying you.

2. Why we handle it

(a) to provide, operate and secure the Platform and route your order instructions;

(b) to record and evidence your acceptance of these documents;

(c) to enforce eligibility and geoblocking, and to detect and prevent fraud, abuse and prohibited use;

(d) to comply with applicable law and respond to lawful requests of competent authorities; and

(e) to understand and improve usage, and to send you marketing, promotional and other communications, and for business-development purposes, where permitted and subject to your right to opt out.

3. Legal basis

3.1 Where a legal-basis framework applies to you, we rely on the performance of the Terms, our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Platform and enforcing access controls, and compliance with our legal obligations. For marketing communications, we rely on your consent or our legitimate interests, subject to your right to opt out. Where required, we also rely on consent for non-essential cookies and analytics technologies (see clause 6).

4. Sharing

4.1 We may share information with: service providers, suppliers and technology providers (including cloud hosting, infrastructure, analytics and security providers; CRM, marketing, referral, communications, support and attribution providers; social-login and wallet-linked account-management providers; and platform and infrastructure providers we use from time to time, including Starboard Labs SEZC); Trading Venues, to the extent necessary to route your order instructions (namely your wallet address, and the size, asset and time of your trades); and competent authorities where required by law. We maintain a list of the processors we use, which is available on request.

5. International transfers; retention

5.1 Information may be processed in jurisdictions other than your own. We retain acceptance, transaction and evidentiary records for as long as necessary to maintain a complete audit trail and for legal, compliance and evidentiary purposes. We may be unable to delete such records on request where retention is required or reasonably necessary for those purposes. Other information is retained for as long as necessary for the purposes described above. We retain contact, marketing, referral and pipeline data for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless you opt out or request deletion, subject to legal, security, audit-trail and suppression-list requirements.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

6.1 We use cookies and similar technologies, including strictly necessary cookies and analytics cookies, to operate and improve the Platform. Analytics cookies are not strictly necessary, and where applicable law requires consent for such cookies, we will seek your consent. We may present a short cookie banner, and further detail may be provided in a separate Cookie Notice.

7. Your choices; changes; contact

7.1 You may have rights in respect of your personal data under applicable law, which may include rights of access, correction and, in some circumstances, deletion or restriction. Because we are required to retain certain records for audit-trail and legal-compliance purposes, we may be unable to delete such records on request. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time, for example by using the unsubscribe option in the message or by contacting us. We may update this Notice by posting a revised version.
