3. Scope of Personal Data Collection and Processing
Genezys collects and processes personal data. Personal data is defined as any information, regardless of its form, which directly or indirectly enables the identification of a natural person. We collect information in the following cases:

  • User requests and communications via our support.
  • Creating your user account: Genezys collects and processes personal data to enable you to create and access your User account. From the creation to the deletion of your User account, the transmission of personal data is essential such as: first name, last name, user name, e-mail address, cell phone number, and for the certification of your passport or identity card wallet (for identity verification purposes). Such processing is contractual in the legal sense of the term and enables us to ensure that you comply with Genezys' General Terms and Conditions and any other additional contractual conditions.
  • Website use: the collection of certain personal data will enable us to understand and improve the user experience with the platform. This data consists of various browsing information derived from Cookies or mobile technical identifiers (see Cookie Policy), some of which may include personal data. In countries where the use of cookies is subject to the prior consent of users, Genezys processes such data on the basis of your consent.
  • Access and use of Services: Genezys collects and processes your personal data to enable you to access its various Services, including to facilitate the purchase of a Fancard, deposits and withdrawals in your fiat portfolio and digital assets or participation in our commercial or sponsorship operations. The legal basis for such processing is contractual.
  • Both on the primary market (Gallery) and on the secondary market (Marketplace), the purchase of a Fancard as well as its exchange (trading) requires the collection of your user name, your telephone number, your payment ID and part of your credit card number (the last four digits of the credit card to which we have access through our Payment Services providers but which we do not collect and store directly).
  • For the purpose of awarding rewards to winners, Genezys processes your username and phone number. Genezys may publish your username and the prize(s) you have won on its website and social network accounts.
  • To enable participation in our affiliate or referral program, Genezys collects and processes your email address, phone number, username.
  • Website and account security: In this context, Genezys collects certain information about your device and browser such as your browsing data on its site, including your IP address (from which information about your country/location state can be deduced), your account information and details of your transactions. The purpose of such collection is to prevent and take action in the event of a hacking attempt or deliberate attempt to circumvent the General Terms and Conditions issued by Genezys (in the latter case, supporting documents may be requested). Where payment fraud is detected, the relevant personal data will be stored in the Genezys monitoring system and may be used for subsequent checks.

In general, all this personal information is used to better understand your needs and interests, to improve our Service and navigation on our site. It may also be used to personalize our communications, conduct recruitment and marketing campaigns and/or prevent and combat computer fraud.

By using our website, you expressly consent to the processing of your personal data.
4. Data Retention

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Genezys may retain certain personal data for a longer period by virtue of its legitimate interests and applicable legal obligations. When the relevant retention period expires, Genezys will delete your personal data or apply appropriate measures to the relevant data to ensure that you can no longer be identified.

If you wish to request the deletion of your personal data, you may use the method described above or simply request the deletion of your User account via your User account settings, as described in the Genezys General Terms and Conditions.

It is essential that you save all the Fancards and financials stored in your Wallet to an external non-custodial wallet and bank account, respectively, prior to any deletion request. All Fancards and financial items stored in your Portfolio that have not been transferred out of your Genezys account by the deletion date will be permanently irretrievable.
