This Privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") together with our Terms of Service sets out the basis on which any Personal Information we collect from you ("you", "your", or "client"), or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. By "Personal Information", we mean any information which, either alone or in combination with other data, enables you to be directly or indirectly identified, for example your name, email address, username, contact details or any unique identifier such as an IP address, device ID or other online identifier.
Please read the following carefully to understand what data we collect, how that data is used and the ways it can be shared by us. If you do not wish for your Personal Information to be used in the ways described within this Privacy Policy then you should not access or use the website, services, functions, or features offered from time to time on the Services.
Certain subsidiaries may use different privacy policies to provide notice to you about how your Personal Information is used and disclosed in the context of your use of particular services or relationship to that subsidiary. To the extent that our subsidiaries post or reference different privacy policies, the privacy policy posted by each subsidiary, not this Privacy Policy, will apply to your Personal Information collected in the context of those services or by that subsidiary.
“Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household, such as your name, email address, IP address, telephone number, and broader categories of information such as your professional information and internet activity.
We may collect Personal Information:
We generally use your Personal Information for the following purposes:
It is important that the Personal Information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your Personal Information changes during your relationship with us.
We may share your Personal Information in the following circumstances:
Service Providers: We may share your Personal Information with companies or individuals that we contract with in order to receive services (our “Service Providers”). These services may include, among other things, providing products or services to you on our behalf, creating or maintaining our databases, payment processing, researching and analyzing the people who request information from us, preparing distribution communications or responding to inquiries. We do not allow our Service Providers to use or disclose your Personal Information for any purpose other than for providing services to us.
Affiliates and Subsidiaries: We may share your Personal Information with companies that we own or control, or that own or control us, or that are under common ownership or control with us.
Third Parties: We may share your Personal Information with companies or individuals outside of CLTS who may use your Personal Information for their own purposes (a “Third Party”). For example:
A Reorganization Event: We may, as a result of a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of assets, reorganization or liquidation of our company (a “Reorganization Event”), transfer, sell or assign your Personal Information to parties involved in the Reorganization Event. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and are permitted by and subject to this Privacy Policy.
Aquanow is committed to protecting your privacy. Internally, only people with a business need to know Personal Information, or whose duties reasonably require access to it, are granted access to clients’ Personal Information. Such individuals will only process your Personal Information on our instructions and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies such as web beacons and pixels to track the activity on our Services and we hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. If you choose to restrict cookies, some functionality and features of our website may be unavailable.

You may unsubscribe from receiving promotional emails from us by following the instructions provided in those email communications, or by emailing us at legal@aquanow.io. Please note that even if you opt out of receiving promotional communications from us, we may continue to send you non-promotional emails, such as communications regarding our ongoing relationship with you.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation that harmonizes national data privacy laws throughout the European Union (EU) and enhances protection of all EU residents with respect to their personal data. The GDPR applies to all companies handling the personal data of EU residences, including companies established outside the EU if they offer goods or services to EU residents.
In 2001, the EU recognized Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) as providing adequate protection. Canada’s adequacy status ensures that data processed in accordance with GDPR can be subsequently transferred from the EU to Canada without requiring additional data protection safeguards or authorization to transfer the data.
We are required to comply with the European Union (“EU”) General Data Protection Regulation and applicable local laws with regard to certain Personal Information we collect. For such Personal Information, the CLTS entity identified at the time of collection is the data controller of the Personal Information. In this section, “Personal Information” is defined in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation.
We collect your Personal Information detailed in “How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information” pursuant to the following lawful bases:
If we need to collect Personal Information by law or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide us with the information when requested, may not be able to perform the contract we have, or are trying to enter into, with you. We will inform you of any mandatory Personal Information we require from you and the consequences if you fail to provide it.
Security
We maintain appropriate technical and organizational safeguards designed to help protect Personal Information from unauthorized disclosure or access and accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration. For example, we limit access of your Personal Information to authorized parties and have systems in place designed to ensure that we can restore availability and access to Personal Information in the event of a physical or technical incident. Although we use reasonable efforts to safeguard Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of Personal Information obtained or stored electronically.
Data Retention
We will store your Personal Information for no longer than is necessary for the performance of our obligations or to achieve the purposes for which the Personal Information was collected, or as may be permitted under applicable law. To determine the appropriate retention period, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information; the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the Personal Information; the purposes for which we process the Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means; and the applicable legal requirements. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, at the end of the retention period we will remove Personal Information from our systems and records or take appropriate steps to properly anonymize it.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices. When we post modifications to this Privacy Policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this web page.

This Risk Disclosure Statement forms part of our Aquanow User Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined in this Risk Disclosure Statement have the meanings provided in the Aquanow User Agreement. By using our Services, you acknowledge and agree with the following:
Trading and investing in digital assets is inherently risky and may result in financial loss. It is important that you fully understand the risks involved with digital asset trading and investing before deciding to execute any digital asset trades. This Risk Disclosure Statement is not a complete statement of all risks involved in digital asset trading. It is your responsibility to educate yourself as to all risks applicable to digital asset trading and investing. Virtual currency trading and investing involves risk to your capital. Always ensure that you have adequate financial resources to bear the risks involved in digital asset trading and investing and that you monitor your positions carefully. You should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. This risk disclosure statement cannot and does not disclose all risks and other aspects involved in holding and trading digital assets, but sets out some of the principal risks involved with digital asset trading and investing:
The market for digital assets is still new and uncertain. No one should have funds invested in digital assets or speculate in digital assets that they are not prepared to lose entirely. Digital assets are subject to frequent and extreme price fluctuations. Whether the market for one or more digital assets will move up or down, or whether a particular digital asset will lose all or substantially all of its value, is unknown. This applies both to traders that are going long and to traders that are shorting the market. Participants should be cautious about holding digital assets.
Markets for digital assets have varying degrees of liquidity. Some are quite liquid while others may be thinner. Thin markets can amplify volatility. There is never a guarantee that there will be an active market for one to sell, buy, or trade digital assets or products derived from or ancillary to them. Furthermore, any market for digital assets may abruptly appear and vanish. You acknowledge it may not be possible to liquidate your digital assets.
The legal status of certain digital assets may be uncertain. This can mean that the legality of holding or trading them is not always clear. Whether and how one or more digital assets constitute property, or assets, or rights of any kind may also seem unclear. Participants are responsible for knowing and understanding how digital assets will be addressed, regulated, and taxed under applicable law.
Having digital assets on deposit or with any third party in a custodial relationship has attendant risks. These risks include security breaches, risk of contractual breach, and risk of loss. Participants should be wary of allowing third parties to hold their property for any reason.
In addition to liquidity risks, values in any cryptocurrency marketplace are volatile and can shift quickly. Participants in any digital assets market are warned that they should pay close attention to their position and holdings, and how they may be impacted by sudden and adverse shifts in trading and other market activities.
CLTS Technologies Ltd. (“CLTS”) and its affiliates make absolutely no guarantee on the settlement times of digital assets and/or fiats, while CLTS operates in a capacity which attempts to optimize settlement times for its clients.
Digital assets can become irretrievably lost if you forget or lose your password or private keys to your digital assets.
Any opinions, news, research, analyses, prices, or other information contained on the Aquanow services are provided as general market commentary, and do not constitute investment or trading advice or any other type of professional advice. CLTS will not be responsible for any loss arising from any investment or trade based on any information provided on the Aquanow services or by CLTS or any of its representatives. You confirm that all trades you make are made without reliance on any information or advice that CLTS or its representatives may have provided to you.
You are solely responsible for evaluating the suitability and commercial reasonableness of your trades.
You acknowledge that CLTS is not in a fiduciary relationship with you.
Your account with CLTS is not a deposit or investment account. Digital assets and fiat currency deposited or otherwise held in your account are not protected by the Canadian Investor Protection Fund, other similar funds or insurance, or any other government backed investor or account balance protection program. CLTS is not a bank, credit union, trust, or any other type of financial institution. Digital assets and fiat currency held in your account will not accumulate interest.
This Risk Disclosure Statement cannot and does not disclose all risks associated with digital asset storage and trading through the Aquanow services. Consequently, you should take time to become adequately educate yourself of digital asset storage and trading, and of the technologies underlying digital assets, before making deposits or trades on the Aquanow services. As appropriate, you should also seek third-party expert advice prior to using the Aquanow services.
Several federal agencies have also published advisory documents surrounding the risks of digital assets. For more information see publications from the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
