Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy or “Policy” explains how Blue Springs Holdings Ltd Investments, LLC and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including the investment products it sponsors or manages from time to time (collectively, “Blue Springs Holdings Ltd”, “we”, “our”, and “us”) collect and protect Personal Information (as defined below). If you have any questions that this Policy does not address, please contact us at info@info@bluespringsholdings.ltd. By creating an account on any Blue Springs Holdings Ltd site (a “Blue Springs Holdings Ltd Site”) or by otherwise submitting Personal Information to us through a Blue Springs Holdings Ltd Site, you give your consent to the collection and use of your Personal Information as explained in this Policy. This Policy is part of our Terms of Service and all capitalized terms used but not defined in this Policy have the meaning given to them in the Terms of Service.

Blue Springs Holdings Ltd’s Policy applies to current and former Blue Springs Holdings Ltd clients and any other users of any Blue Springs Holdings Ltd Site. The term “Personal Information” refers to non-public information that personally relates to or identifies you as an individual or entity.

Please note that, in the event of a change in policy, a revised Policy will promptly be posted to the Blue Springs Holdings Ltd Site. You agree to accept posting of a revised Policy electronically on the Blue Springs Holdings Ltd Site as actual notice to you. Any dispute over our Policy is subject to this notice.

When you sign up to participate on a Blue Springs Holdings Ltd Site, you may be asked to provide information such as your full legal name, address and date of birth, along with other personal information that is required to verify your identity and fulfill our legal and regulatory requirements. This information will also be used to transact your business and communicate with you. From time to time, we may request additional information to help us further assess your needs and preferences.

The information we collect and maintain about you is provided during the course of your entering into transactions with private issuers who have engaged Blue Springs Holdings Ltd to provide certain services in the context of a private securities transaction or trading through Blue Springs Holdings Ltd. This Personal Information, not available publicly, comes from the following sources:

• Information you provide to us when you fill out documents, complete a form or make a request for services, including your name, address, age, Social Security number and/or taxpayer identification number, investment objectives, investment experience, assets and liabilities and/or income details and confidential documentation used to verify those details, telephone number, e-mail address and similar information; and information from your transactions with us, such as your sale proceeds or investment amount.

Keeping Information Safe

We limit access to the Personal Information you provide us to those employees who need access to that information in order to provide you with services related to the transactions you are entering into through the Blue Springs Holdings Ltd Sites. In keeping with industry standards and practices, we maintain appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards, and controls designed to protect your Personal Information.

We have invested in software, systems and procedures aimed at offering you a safe and secure transaction environment and protect your personal, financial and historical transaction information. While no security system is absolutely impenetrable, we plan to constantly review, refine and upgrade our security technology as new tools become available.

We will delete your Personal Information when it is no longer needed for these purposes. If we cannot delete it, for technical reasons, entirely from our systems, we will put in place appropriate measures to prevent any further processing or use of the data.

The Importance of Being Accurate

We have security standards and procedures in place designed to prevent unauthorized access to your Personal Information. A key part of this process helps ensure that the Personal Information we have about you is accurate and up-to-date. If you ever discover inaccuracies in our data or if your Personal Information changes, we urge you to notify us immediately. We only use your Personal Information as appropriate to provide you with quality services and to ensure security. For example, we may use the information collected from you to verify your identity and contact information.

Your Rights Over Personal Information

Subject to applicable local law, you have rights regarding your Personal Information, including: access, rectification, erasure and blocking, restriction of use, objection to use, data portability, and the lodgement of a claim to your local data protection authority.

If you would like to discuss or exercise the above rights, please contact us using the details set out at the end of this Privacy Policy.

An Ongoing Commitment to Your Privacy

We are just as committed to protecting the privacy of our former clients as we are our current clients. If you choose to become an inactive client, your Personal Information will continue to be protected by the privacy policies and principles described in the then-current version of this Policy. Should you redeem or otherwise dispose of your investments with us, Blue Springs Holdings Ltd will retain your information for regulatory compliance, internal record-keeping and other legal purposes.

How Information Helps Both You and Us

Our mission is clear: to build transparent, familiar investment products that facilitate access to the digital asset class. Information about you and your accounts plays a key role in our ability to succeed in this mission. For example, we use information about you to:

• Respond more accurately and efficiently to your requests for assistance; and
• Secure your investments and help protect you and Blue Springs Holdings Ltd from fraud.

We Limit the Sharing of Information

To protect your privacy, we limit the sharing of your Personal Information outside of Blue Springs Holdings Ltd. We conduct our business with great respect for the confidential nature of the information being provided. We will not share Personal Information about you except as outlined below:

• To help us provide our services to you and/or to improve our services, we engage qualified and reputable third parties to help us to carry out certain functions such as account processing, client services and/or data collection relevant to our business. For example, in each case where you invest through a Blue Springs Holdings Ltd Site, we share your Personal Information with third party service providers in order to perform regulatory-required background checks, with certain technology providers to facilitate document execution, and with third parties that perform execution and clearing services on your behalf. Pursuant to our agreements with these service providers, their ability to use your Personal Information is specifically limited to the service being provided.

We may also disclose your information as necessary to credit reporting or collection agencies, or when necessary to protect our rights or property.
• Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Personal Information shall be dealt with in accordance with any local legislation, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation, to the extent Blue Springs Holdings Ltd is or becomes subject to such regulation.

You are responsible for helping us to maintain the accuracy and completeness of your Personal Information and other data. We urge you to review your information regularly to ensure that it is correct and complete. If you would like to review your Personal Information or if you believe that any of your Personal Information is incorrect, or if you have any questions regarding your Personal Information, or this Privacy Policy, please contact us at info@info@bluespringsholdings.ltd.

If at any time you choose to purchase a product or service offered by another company, any Personal Information you share with that company will be subject to the privacy policies of the applicable third party companies and will not be controlled by our Privacy Policy. Other than as described above, we are not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of third party sites and/or services (each, a “Third Party Service”) we link to, and have no control of the use or protection of information provided by you or collected by those Third Party Services. Whenever you elect to hyperlink to a Third Party Service, you may be asked to provide registration or other information. Please note that the information you are providing is going to a third-party, and you should familiarize yourself with the privacy policy provided by that party.
