This page expands the privacy summary with the data-handling, KYC, and disclosure principles reflected in the AppleTree whitepaper.
Data handling
What privacy means in practice
The key distinction is between identity data handled through service workflows and technical records that may be associated with blockchain activity.
Basic data
- AppleTree may process contact details voluntarily submitted through email or support interactions.
- Operational data may be used for support, communications, compliance, and ecosystem administration.
- AppleTree states that personal identity data is not published directly on-chain.
- Only required references, transaction identifiers, or technical records may be associated with blockchain activity.
KYC workflow
- KYC verification is processed through AppleTree's third-party provider, ShuftiPro.
- Identity verification is used to support compliance, fraud prevention, and access control for restricted features.
- KYC-related personal data is handled through the verification workflow rather than stored publicly on-chain.
- Users should also review the privacy terms and disclosures of the third-party verification provider where applicable.
Rights and requests
- AppleTree may apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect stored information.
- Users may request access, correction, or deletion of personal data, subject to applicable legal and compliance obligations.
- Retention, correction, or deletion requests may be limited where data must be retained for compliance, fraud prevention, or recordkeeping reasons.
- Questions about privacy handling may be sent to the legal contact address listed below.
