3. Categories of Personal Information Handled

The categories are set out in Personal Information We Collect in the Privacy Policy. In summary: wallet addresses and on-chain activity, Wallet IQ scores and their breakdown, account and profile information, linked social account identifiers and access credentials, content you create including chat and streams, and automatically collected technical and usage information.

4. Provision to Third Parties

We provide personal information to third parties as described in When We Disclose Personal Information.

We entrust the handling of personal information to service providers, and exercise necessary and appropriate supervision over them. The current list, with the category of information each receives and the country in which it is located, is published at Subprocessors.

5. Cross-Border Transfer (APPI Article 28)

Personal information you provide is transferred outside Japan, principally to the United States, and to other countries where our service providers operate. Those countries are identified for each provider at Subprocessors.

Under the APPI we are required to inform you of the personal information protection systems of the countries concerned:

United States — the United States has no single comprehensive federal data protection law equivalent to the APPI. Protection is provided by a combination of sector-specific federal laws, state comprehensive privacy laws (including in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and Virginia), and enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission against unfair or deceptive practices. The United States is not designated by the Personal Information Protection Commission as a country with an equivalent standard of protection under Article 28.
European Economic Area countries, where any provider is located there, are designated by the Personal Information Protection Commission as having an equivalent standard of protection.

We take measures equivalent to those required of a personal information handling business operator in Japan when transferring information to a recipient outside Japan, including contractual commitments requiring the recipient to handle the information in accordance with APPI standards.

You may request information about the measures taken by a specific recipient by emailing privacy@candle.tv.

Candle jointly uses personal information with its affiliates for the purposes described in section 2 above.

Browsing history on other websites collected via cookie or device identifier;

Other data used to provide advertising, content, and optimized services.

Where we acquire such information as personal data, we obtain your consent as required by the APPI.

8. Third-Party Services

We make available certain experiences, services, and applications provided by third parties, for example when you link a Candle account to another account. Such an experience is initiated only at your explicit request, and the third party is identified to you. Those third parties may be located outside Japan, and information you choose to share with them is subject to their own privacy policies and the legal regime of their location.

9. Security Control Measures

We take the following measures to control the security of personal data:

Organizational — designated personnel responsible for handling personal data, defined reporting lines for incidents, and internal policies governing handling and access.
Human — training on the handling of personal data, and confidentiality obligations in staff and contractor agreements.
Physical — controls on access to facilities and devices used to handle personal data.
Technical — access control limiting personal data to those with a business need, encryption of data in transit, segregation and protection of secrets and signing keys, and logging and monitoring of access.
Understanding the external environment — we have identified the personal information protection regimes of the countries in which personal data is handled, as set out in section 5, and take those into account in the measures above.

10. Disclosure, Correction, Suspension of Use, and Deletion

You may request disclosure, correction, addition, deletion, suspension of use, or cessation of third-party provision of your retained personal data, and disclosure of records of third-party provision.
