Privacy Policy
Last updated: 04 April 2023
We recognize our responsibilities in relation to the collection, holding, processing, use and/or transfer of personal data. Your privacy is of utmost importance to us.
This policy (this Policy) outlines how we collect, use, store and disclose your personal data. Please take a moment to read about how we collect, use and/or disclose your personal data so that you know and understand the purposes for which we may collect, use and/or disclose your personal data. By accessing the website at https://mimicry.org/, https://beta.mimicry.org/ and any sub-domains (the Website), you agree and consent to The Pantomimist Corp (the Company), its related corporations, business units and affiliates, as well as their respective representatives and/or agents (collectively referred to herein as Mimicry, us, we or our), collecting, using, disclosing and sharing amongst themselves the personal data, and to disclosing such personal data to relevant third party providers. This Policy supplements but does not supersede nor replace any other consent which you may have previously provided to us nor does it affect any rights that we may have at law in connection with the collection, use and/or disclosure of your personal data. We may from time to time update this Policy to ensure that this Policy is consistent with our future developments, industry trends and/or any changes in legal or regulatory requirements. Subject to your rights at law, the prevailing terms of this Policy shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, this Policy forms part of the terms and conditions governing your relationship with us and should be read in conjunction with such terms and conditions.
The security of your personal data is important to us. At each stage of data collection, use and disclosure, Mimicry has in place physical, electronic, administrative and procedural safeguards to protect the personal data stored with us. However, do note that no transmission of personal data over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure – accordingly and despite our efforts, Mimicry cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, or to or from our online services. Mimicry shall not have any responsibility or liability for the security of information transmitted via the internet.
This Policy describes how Mimicry may collect, use, disclose, process and manage your personal data, and applies to any individual’s personal data which is in our possession or under our control.
What personal data is collected by Mimicry
"Personal data" means data, whether true or not, about an individual who can be identified (i) from that data, or (ii) from that data and other information to which the organization has or is likely to have access. Some examples of personal data that Mimicry may collect are:
(a) personal particulars (e.g. name, alias(es), contact details, and/or social media handles and other social media profile information);
(b) e-mail address;
(c) information or details regarding digital assets held;
(d) particulars of digital wallet addresses (including transactions performed by said digital wallet addresses), public cryptographic key relating to digital wallet addresses on distributed ledger networks and/or similar information;
(e) information about your use of our services and Website, and specific user interactions with the Website such as features utilized, areas visited or clicked on, and time spent;
(f) usernames and password, third party account credentials (such as your Facebook login credentials, Google login credentials), Internet Protocol (IP) address, and geographical location;
(g) browser type and version, operating system used by the accessing system, internet service provider of the accessing system, the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (i.e. "referrers"), mobile device ID, location of access, or other similar data and information;
(h) behavior such as pages (and sub-page) visited, time and date of your visit, time spent on each page, and other diagnostic data; and/or
(i) personal opinions made known to us (e.g. feedback or responses to surveys).
Personal data may be collected when you interact with our services or use the Website, or may be received by Mimicry from third-party databases or service providers that provide business information.
To the extent permitted by law, we may also obtain other information about you such as contact information, change of address or demographic information from commercially available sources.
Personal data and the Blockchain
Blockchain technology, also known as distributed ledger technology (DLT), is at the core of our business. Blockchains are decentralised and made up of digitally recorded data in a chain of packages called "blocks". The manner in which these blocks are linked is chronological, meaning that the data is very difficult to alter once recorded. Since the ledger may be distributed all over the world (across several "nodes" which usually replicate the ledger) this means there is no single person making decisions or otherwise administering the system (such as an operator of a cloud computing system), and that there is no centralised place where it is located either.
Accordingly, by design, a blockchain’s data cannot be changed or deleted and is said to be "immutable". This may affect your ability to exercise your rights such as your right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"), or your rights to object or restrict processing of your personal data. Data on the blockchain cannot be erased and cannot be changed. Although smart contracts may be used to revoke certain access rights, and some content may be made invisible to others, it is not deleted.
In certain circumstances, in order to comply with our contractual obligations to you (such as delivery of tokens or provision of other services) it will be necessary to collect certain personal data, such as your wallet address, onto the blockchain; this is done through a smart contract and requires you to execute such transactions using your wallet’s private key.
The ultimate decisions to (a) transact on the blockchain using your wallet address, as well as (b) share the public key relating to your wallet address with anyone (including us) rests with you. IF YOU WANT TO ENSURE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS ARE NOT AFFECTED IN ANY WAY, YOU SHOULD NOT TRANSACT ON BLOCKCHAINS AS CERTAIN RIGHTS MAY NOT BE FULLY AVAILABLE OR EXERCISABLE BY YOU OR US DUE TO THE TECHNOLOGICAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE BLOCKCHAIN. IN PARTICULAR THE BLOCKCHAIN IS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC AND ANY PERSONAL DATA SHARED ON THE BLOCKCHAIN WILL BECOME PUBLICLY AVAILABLE.
Purposes for collection, use and disclosure of your personal data
Mimicry may collect, use and/or disclose your personal data for its legitimate interests or business purposes, including operations for these purposes. These may include, without limitation, the following:
(a) developing and providing products or services (whether made available by us or through us) or your participation in interactive features of our services, including without limitation:
(i) services for creating and participating in prediction markets;
(ii) recording and/or encryption on any blockchain, network or platform;
(iii) promoting advertisements or marketing material, whether from us or third parties;
(iv) providing, managing or accessing digital wallets for holding digital assets;
(v) any escrow, courier, anti-counterfeiting, cyber-security or dispute resolution services; and/or
(vi) trouble-shooting, technical maintenance and bug fixes;
(b) addressing, investigating or responding to any feedback, queries, complaints, claims or disputes in connection with the services;
(c) complying with all applicable laws, regulations, rules, directives, orders, instructions and requests from any local or foreign authorities, including regulatory, governmental, tax and law enforcement authorities or other authorities;
(d) enforcing obligations owed to us, protecting our rights or property, and protecting against legal liability; and/or
(e) seeking professional advice, including legal or tax advice.
We may also use personal data for purposes set out in the terms and conditions that govern our relationship with you or our customer.
Use of personal data for marketing purposes
We may use your personal data to offer you products or services, including special offers, promotions, contests or entitlements that may be of interest to you or for which you may be eligible. Such marketing messages may be sent to you in various modes including but not limited to electronic mail, direct mailers, short message service, telephone calls, facsimile and other mobile messaging services. In doing so, we will comply with all applicable data protection and privacy laws.
In respect of sending telemarketing messages to your telephone number via short message service, telephone calls, facsimile and other mobile messaging services, please be assured that we shall only do so if we have your clear and unambiguous consent in writing or other recorded form to do so or if you have not otherwise made the appropriate registration of that number with the Do Not Call Registry. If we have an ongoing relationship with you and you have not indicated to us that you do not wish to receive telemarketing messages sent to your telephone number, we may send you telemarketing messages to that number related to the subject of our ongoing relationship via short message service, facsimile and other mobile messaging services (other than a voice or video call).
You may at any time request that we stop contacting you for marketing purposes via selected or all modes.
To find out more on how you can change the way we use your personal data for marketing purposes, please contact us.
Nothing in this Policy shall vary or supersede the terms and conditions that govern our relationship with you.

We may from time to time and in compliance with all applicable laws on data privacy, disclose your personal data to any personnel of Mimicry, group entities, or to third parties (including without limitation banks, financial institutions, credit card companies, credit bureaus and their respective service providers, companies providing services relating to insurance and/or reinsurance to us, and associations of insurance companies, agents, contractors or third party service providers who provide services to us such as telecommunications, information technology, payment, data processing, storage and archival, and our professional advisers such as our auditors and lawyers, and regulators and authorities), located in any jurisdiction, in order to carry out the purposes set out above. Please be assured that when we disclose your personal data to such parties, we will disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service required, and will also require them to ensure that any personal data disclosed to them are kept confidential and secure.

You are responsible for ensuring that the personal data you provide to us is accurate, complete, and not misleading and that such personal data is kept up to date. You acknowledge that failure on your part to do so may result in our inability to provide you with the products and services you have requested. To update your personal data, please contact us (please see section 10 below for contact details). Where you provide us with personal data concerning individuals other than yourself, you are responsible for obtaining all legally required consents from the concerned individuals and you shall retain proof of such consent(s), such proof to be provided to us upon our request.
We may transfer, store, process and/or deal with your personal data in any jurisdiction, and accordingly such personal data may be transferred to computers, servers or hardware located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. Mimicry will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy and no transfer of your personal data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information (including without limitation the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission). Your consent to this Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to the transfer of personal data as described herein.
