LEGAL GROUNDS

Harvest Finance processes your data grounded on the following legal justifications:

Contractual Agreement: The creation of a User Account and the utilization of Harvest Finance's services signify a contractual relationship between you and Harvest Finance. To deliver these services effectively, collecting and processing specific information about you is essential.

Legitimate Interests: Harvest Finance operates based on a legitimate interest in processing your data, such as when we address system bugs and ensure smooth functionality, enhance and develop new features, uphold security for our users, and facilitate internal transfers within our organizational structure, including to affiliated entities. Additionally, we may share certain details following requests from intellectual property rights holders alleging unauthorized content by a user. However, we refrain from using legitimate interest as a basis for data processing when your rights, freedoms, and interests supersede those of Harvest Finance or any third party.

Legal Obligations: Harvest Finance may need to process your data to comply with applicable laws. This includes providing user data to courts or other authorized entities upon request.

Consent: Your consent serves as the sole basis for Harvest Finance's use of personal data for specific purposes like account activation, virtual currency exchange and wallet services, bonus program participation, technical support, and for marketing, notification, and promotional purposes where explicit consent from you is necessary.

Harvest Finance is committed to adhering to these legal grounds for data processing, ensuring transparency, and respecting your privacy rights.

USE OF PERSONAL DATA

The personal data collected from you will be utilized by Harvest Finance exclusively for purposes essential to the operation and maintenance of your User Account, including but not limited to, account opening and activation, providing virtual currency exchange and wallet services, participation in bonus programs, and delivering technical support. This data also facilitates communication about your account status, identity verification, transaction processing, personalization of your experience, analysis of user interaction with Harvest Finance services, and support for any services you request.



Harvest Finance may direct you to other websites ("External Websites") through references or links which are beyond our control. These External Websites operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage our clients to review the privacy statements of each website they visit to ensure they are informed about how their information may be used.



Upon deactivation of a User Account, Harvest Finance safeguards your information except in situations where disclosure is mandated by law, to prevent fraudulent activities, or to periodically reach out to you with information about the possibility of reactivating your User Account and to present attractive offers.

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

HF RWA GROUP LTD employs comprehensive administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal data within our control from unauthorized access, use, modification, disclosure, loss, or theft. However, it's important to remember that data transmission over the Internet or other publicly accessible networks (such as email communications) may not always be secure, with the potential risk of loss, interception, or alteration during transit.      

Thus, Harvest Finance does not accept liability for any loss, damage, or costs that may result from such transmissions, involving your personal information, over insecure networks. While Harvest Finance endeavors to protect your information rigorously and handle it in accordance with this Privacy Policy, we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of the information you provide to us, nor do we assume any fiduciary responsibilities or liability should third-party access occur without our consent.

STORAGE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

At HF RWA GROUP LTD, we retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Policy or as required by law. If we determine that certain information about you is no longer needed for these purposes and not required to be retained by legal obligations, we will either delete it or anonymize it.        

We also maintain records to ensure that if you have requested not to receive direct marketing communications from us, your preference is respected in future interactions.        

It’s important to note that if you decide to delete your User Account, some of your personal data may still be retained by Harvest Finance in an anonymized form. This retention is critical to enable us to verify whether a user was previously registered, to prevent fraud, and to enforce our Terms and Conditions effectively. For instance, should a user who had their User Account terminated for violating our terms attempt to re-register, this retained, anonymized data enables us to identify and take appropriate action. In doing so, Harvest Finance is guided by a legitimate interest in safeguarding our platform and our users from fraudulent activities

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our policy allows for the sharing or disclosure of your personal information in specific scenarios:      

Service Providers: We may share your personal information with affiliated entities or third parties who assist us in conducting our business. This may include services related to identification and background checks, website hosting, data analysis, and information processing, among others. All such entities are bound by confidentiality agreements to protect your information as rigorously as we do, in line with this Policy.        

Legal and Compliance Obligations: There might be circumstances where we are required to share your personal information with law enforcement or regulatory bodies. This could be in response to legal processes such as subpoenas or court orders, to prevent harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activities, or to ensure compliance with legal obligations      

Business Transitions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of our assets, your personal information may be among the assets transferred. Any such transfer will be conducted with due regard for the confidentiality and integrity of your personal information            

International Transfers: For clients in the EU, personal data may be transferred to regions outside the EU and the European Economic Area. HF RWA GROUP LTD will adopt suitable measures, like utilizing standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, to ensure that any such data transfer complies with EU data protection laws.      
 
In each case, we ensure that any disclosure or transfer of your personal information adheres strictly to the principles and protections outlined in this Policy.

USE OF COOKIES

HF RWA GROUP LTD employs cookies to enhance your experience on our platform. Cookies are small data files placed on your device by websites you visit, crucial for making websites function optimally and more efficiently, and for providing site owners with valuable insights.          

Our use of cookies aims to bolster the security measures on our platform, assess the effectiveness of our services, facilitate trend analysis, monitor referral links, and manage the platform more effectively.          

The cookies we utilize do not store any personal information, nor do they contain details about your user account or password. They help the website recognize that a request to access a page is coming from a user who has already logged in, thereby streamlining the user experience.            

Additionally, we employ “pixel tags” (also referred to as “clear gifs” or “web beacons”) to label pages that have been viewed. These pixel tags, while gathering data, do not collect information that could personally identify you.          

The insights gleaned from cookies allow HF RWA GROUP LTD to identify the most frequently visited parts of our website and to pinpoint any access challenges faced by our clients. With this knowledge, we're committed to enhancing the quality of your interactions with our platform by focusing on delivering the features and information you value most and by addressing any accessibility issues.

RIGHT TO ACCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA

At HF RWA GROUP LTD, we ensure you have the ability to inquire about the full range of data we hold about you. To utilize this right, kindly send your request to support@harvest-finance.io. We may conduct additional verification processes to guarantee information is delivered to the correct individual. Our responses to such inquiries are complimentary, though repeated misuse by a client may lead to refusal in processing future requests or the imposition of a fee.

RIGHT TO WITHDRAW YOUR CONSENT

Whenever consent is required by HF RWA GROUP LTD for data processing, you retain the right to withdraw this consent at any time by adjusting the relevant settings.          

Withdrawing consent may affect your access to certain functionalities or components of our platform.          

Should you decide against HF RWA GROUP LTD processing your data for any purpose, you have the option to delete your User Account. In such cases, please reach out to us for assistance with fund recovery.        

Please note, upon account deletion, some personal data may persist within our system in an anonymized format, ensuring it cannot be linked back to you. This measure allows us to verify if an individual has previously registered, thereby aiding in fraud prevention, especially in cases where a user who has breached our Terms and Conditions attempts re-registration. In maintaining such data, HF RWA GROUP LTD acts on its legitimate interest.      

For consent revocation or to initiate the deletion of your personal data, please contact us via email at support@harvest-finance.io

THE RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

At HF RWA GROUP LTD, you hold the right to transfer data collected about you—based on your consent and the contractual relationship between you and Harvest Finance—to another organization. We may directly transfer this data to another entity at your behest, provided we have the technical means to do so. To exercise this right, forward your request to support@harvest-finance.io. We may require additional verification procedures to ensure data is handed over to the rightful owner. Our response to such requests is complimentary, though misuse by a client may result in refusal of future requests or imposition of a fee.

THE RIGHT TO DATA CORRECTION

Should the personal data we possess become outdated or inaccurate, you are entitled to amend it. Modifications can be made within the settings of your User Account. For assistance in updating your information, please reach out to us at support@harvest-finance.io.

THE RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN

Under certain conditions—such as withdrawing your consent or objecting to data processing based on legitimate interest where we have no overriding interest—you may request the removal of your data from our records. To exercise this right, please contact us at support@harvest-finance.io. We may necessitate additional verification to confirm the requestor's identity. Note, there are instances where this right may not apply; we will inform you accordingly if such situations arise.                  

Be aware, if you exercise your right to be forgotten and delete your User Account, some personal data may persist within our system in an anonymized format, stored in a manner that prevents client identification. This step is crucial for preventing fraud by disallowing individuals who have breached our Terms and Conditions from re-registering. In maintaining such data, HF RWA GROUP LTD acts on its legitimate interest.

SUBMITTING A REQUEST

HF RWA GROUP LTD will process your request and will respond to it within 7 business days from the receipt of the corresponding request from you. In some cases, this period may be extended by two months. This might occur, for example, for technical reasons or because of a big inflow of requests. You will be notified of such extension and the reasons for it within 7 business days from the receipt of your request.        

HF RWA GROUP LTD accepts and processes the requests for personal data free of charge. However, if there are reasons for HF RWA GROUP LTD to believe that requests are sent unfairly, we reserve the right to refuse processing such requests or to establish a reasonable fee for such processing.
