Blockchain records cannot be deleted. Transactions recorded on a public blockchain are permanent by design. When you exercise a right to erasure, we delete or anonymise the data we hold and unlink your Account from your wallet address, but the public blockchain record itself remains.

When we no longer need your data, we securely delete or anonymise it. Anonymised data may be retained for analytics.

10.2 Managing Cookies

You can control non-essential cookies through the consent choices we show you, in your Account settings under Privacy and through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent you from using the Services.

11. Compliance-Specific Processing

11.1 Identity and Age Verification

We are required to verify that every customer is at least 18 years old (or older where local law requires) and is who they say they are, before they can open a Position or move funds through the Services. We use Sumsub to verify identity documents and to perform a biometric liveness check.

11.2 Sanctions and PEP Screening

We screen every user against sanctions lists and for politically exposed person status before first use and periodically afterwards. A match may lead us to ask you for information, to restrict your Account or to decline the Services.

11.3 Anti-Money Laundering

We carry out customer due diligence, enhanced due diligence for higher-risk customers, source-of-funds checks where required and transaction monitoring, and we report suspicious activity to the relevant authorities.

Legal Requirement

This processing is required by law and by our providers. We cannot provide the Services without it.

11.4 Player Protection Monitoring

We monitor activity for signs that our Services may be causing harm, including frequency and duration of use, changes in behaviour, amounts committed and use of protection tools.

11.5 Market Integrity

We monitor for manipulation, insider activity and collusion and may share information with sports governing bodies and integrity services where we detect suspicious patterns.

11.6 Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We use automated systems to verify identity, screen for sanctions, detect fraud and unusual activity and monitor for player-protection purposes. These systems may trigger requests for information, limits or restrictions on your Account. We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you without a meaningful possibility of human review. You may request human intervention, express your point of view and contest such a decision by contacting dpo@versusapp.com.

12. Children's Privacy

Our Services are strictly for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18, or under the higher minimum age that applies where they live. If we discover that we hold such information, we will close the Account, delete the personal information except for the limited record the law requires us to keep, and report the matter to the relevant authorities where required. If you believe a child has registered with us, please contact us immediately at support@versusapp.com.

13. Changes to This Policy
