You have the right to be informed whether your personal information is being processed, the purposes of processing, categories of data collected, and recipients of your information. This Privacy Policy serves as our primary disclosure mechanism.
You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We will provide this information in a commonly used electronic format within thirty (30) days of your verified request, subject to identity verification and applicable legal exceptions.
If you believe any personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, you may request correction or update. Most account information can be updated directly through your phtaua account settings. For verification documents, contact customer support.
You may request deletion of your personal information under certain circumstances including when the information is no longer necessary for the purposes collected, when you withdraw consent, or when processing is unlawful. This right is subject to limitations where retention is required by law (anti-money laundering, tax records, regulatory obligations) or necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
You may object to processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also request restriction of processing under certain circumstances, though this may limit your ability to use certain Platform features.
