Last Updated: 19 July 2026
This “Privacy Notice” describes the privacy practices of Mendel and Mendel Affiliates (collectively, “Mendel”, “our”, “us” or “we”), in connection with the Mendel.fun website and the Mendel Platform (collectively, “Services”). This Privacy Notice also explains the rights and choices available to individuals with respect to their information.
Please read this Privacy Notice carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use the Mendel Platform. By accessing or using the Mendel Platform, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of this Privacy Notice.
We may update this Privacy Notice based upon evolving laws, regulations and industry standards, or as we may make changes to the Mendel Platform. If we make changes that materially alter your privacy rights, we will take appropriate measures to inform you, consistent with the significance of the changes we make. If you disagree with the changes to this Privacy Notice, you should discontinue your access and use of the Mendel Platform.
The Mendel.fun site and the Mendel Platform are not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from, anyone under the age of 18. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with information, they should contact us. We will delete such information from our files as soon as reasonably practicable.
Personal Data Controller
The term “Personal Data” as used in this policy, describes information that can be associated with a specific person and can identify that person. Personal Data does not include information that has been aggregated or anonymized so that a specific person can no longer be identified.
A Personal Data controller is a person or organisation who controls the collection, holding, processing or use of Personal Data, including a person or organisation who instructs another person or organisation to collect, hold, process, use, transfer or disclose Personal Data on his or her behalf.
Types of Personal Data Collected
The types of Personal Data that we may collect from you or through third parties will depend on our interactions with you and may include:
- Financial information such as your wallet addresses;
- Transaction information such as the wallet addresses of senders and recipients of Digital Assets, activities on the Mendel Platform, your inquiries and our responses;
- Usage Data which can include your IP address, your country of origin, the features of the browser or operating system utilised by you, and how you use the Mendel Platform, among other identifiers;
- Other personal data or commercial and/or identification information that we, in our sole discretion, may deem necessary to comply with various applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations.
We may also collect Personal Data about you from third parties and other sources such as publicly available sources of information. We collect this information from you when you freely provide it on the Mendel Platform or when you use the Mendel Platform.
Information We Automatically Collect
When you visit the Mendel Platform, we may automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address and/or domain name, device information, your login information, browser type and version, timezone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating systems and platforms, location information, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device using cookies and similar technologies. Additionally, as you browse the site, we may collect information about the individual web pages or services that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the site, and information about how you interact with the site.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use cookies (small, often encrypted, text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device) and similar technologies (“Cookies”) to provide you with certain functions on our site and help collect data. We use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your device until you delete them).
Cookies can be controlled, blocked or restricted through your web browser settings. Please note that if you restrict, disable or block any or all Cookies from your web browser or mobile or other device, the site may not operate properly, and you may not have access to our services available through the site.
How We Use Personal Data
Data we collect about you is collected to:
- Provide the site, the Mendel Platform, and customer support you request;
- Process transactions and send notices about your transactions on the Mendel Platform;
- Detect any malicious or fraudulent activity;
- Enable us to monitor and analyse your behaviour (“Analytics”);
- Beta test certain features or the Mendel Platform;
- Contact you and provide social features;
- Optimise traffic and performance of the Mendel Platform;
- Register you as a user of the Mendel Platform and authenticate your credentials;
- Comply with legal obligations and respond to enforcement requests;
- Protect the rights and interests of Mendel and Mendel Affiliates (or those of our users and third parties).
How We Share Personal Data
We may share your Personal Data with our service providers and vendors to assist us in providing you with the Mendel Platform. We do not share your Personal Data with third parties without your consent, except as described in this Privacy Notice or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable law. We may share your Personal Data within our group, and with affiliates, for purposes consistent with this Privacy Notice.
We may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our business or assets, including your Personal Data, in connection with a business transaction (or potential business transaction) such as a corporate divestiture, merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganisation or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy or dissolution.
Retention of Personal Data
We will retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements. Once the retention period expires, Personal Data will be deleted (or, where permitted under applicable law, may be de-identified instead). However, not all your Personal Data may be able to be deleted or de-identified; see the section on “Blockchain Transactions” below.
Data Security
The security of your Personal Data is important to us. We employ a number of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the Personal Data we collect. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. We ask you not to share any of your personal security information, including your wallet seed phrase or private keys, with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data transmitted to the Mendel Platform. Any transmission of Personal Data is at your own risk.
Blockchain Transactions
Your use of digital assets may be recorded on a public blockchain, in particular the settlement of your trades in digital assets on Robinhood Chain. Public blockchains are distributed ledgers, intended to immutably record transactions across wide networks of computer systems. Many blockchains are open to forensic analysis which can lead to re-identification of transacting individuals and the revelation of personal data, especially when blockchain data is combined with other data.
As blockchains are decentralised or third-party networks which are not controlled or operated by us, we are not able to erase, modify, or alter personal data on such networks.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you reside, you may be granted certain rights over your Personal Data, which may include the right to obtain confirmation of the Personal Data we process, the right to rectify inaccurate Personal Data, the right to request erasure of your Personal Data (subject to exceptions provided under the law), the right to restrict certain processing, the right to receive your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, the right to object to the processing of your Personal Data, and the right to withdraw your consent where you have previously given it.
Contact Us
If you would like to exercise any of the rights listed above, or if you would like to contact us about any questions you may have regarding your Personal Data, please reach out to us through our official channels linked in the footer and provide (i) enough information to identify you and (ii) a description of what right you want to exercise and the information to which your request relates.
