1. About this notice
This notice explains how Intents Technology Ltd (we, us) handles personal information in connection with near.com for Business at business.near.com (the Business Platform), and in connection with enquiries about it. The near.com privacy policy at near.com/privacy covers near.com itself, the near.com app and our other services.
Intents Technology Ltd is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, company number 2207088, registered office Rodus Building, P.O. Box 3093, Road Town, Tortola, VG1110, British Virgin Islands.
We are subject to the Virgin Islands Data Protection Act 2021 and, where they apply to our processing, United Kingdom and European Union data protection laws. References below to our legitimate interests describe our basis under United Kingdom and European Union law. Under the Virgin Islands Data Protection Act 2021, we process personal information with consent or where another condition permitted by that Act applies, including where processing is necessary for a contract with the person concerned, steps they request, a legal obligation or the administration of justice.
2. Our role
The Business Platform is an interface to a multi-signature treasury contract that is deployed and controlled on the NEAR blockchain. We do not hold, control or have access to the assets in it.
A treasury is set up and run by a business, which we call the business in this notice. The business decides who has access to its workspace, what information goes into it and why. For that information the business is the data controller and we act as its data processor, on its instructions. Our obligations to it are set out in our Data Processing Addendum at https://business.near.com/data.
If you use a workspace and want to exercise your rights over information in it, ask the business first. It decides what happens to that information, and we will help it respond.
We act in our own right, and not on the business’s instructions, for enquiries and early access requests made to us, support requests you send us directly, security and abuse prevention, sanctions and financial crime screening, and product analytics where we use them. Sections 6 to 9 cover those.
3. Information we hold
We do not require your name, email address or telephone number to use the Business Platform. You sign in with a passkey or by connecting a wallet. We also receive the account, authentication, session and technical information described below and in section 8. Without the sign-in information, we cannot sign you in.
About you:
- your NEAR account identifier;
- the identifiers of a Telegram chat and of your Telegram account, if you link a treasury to a Telegram chat so that we can send notifications there;
- a display name or alias, and an avatar image, if you set one, which you do not have to do; and
- authentication and session information. If you sign in with a passkey, the passkey stays on your device and we receive its public key and an identifier for it. We keep records of sign-in sessions and acceptance of the Business Platform terms. Other authentication information may be stored in your browser. See section 11.
About a business and its treasury:
- the name or alias given to a treasury;
- address book entries, being a wallet address, the network and an alias chosen by whoever added it;
- free text notes and payment or proposal descriptions;
- a cached copy of treasury balances and of deposit, swap, transfer and payment history, including confidential balances and history that cannot be read from the public blockchain; and
- records of quotes generated for confidential transactions, including the intended recipient, amount, asset and time, whether or not the transaction was signed.
Most of the second group is information about a business rather than about a person. We describe it here because it is linked to account identifiers, which means that in some cases it will also be personal information about the people who use a workspace.
Address book entries and notes may also include information about other people, such as someone a business pays. The business decides what goes into its workspace, and anyone who wants information of that kind changed or removed should contact the business in the first instance.
Receipts, statements and exports are produced when you ask for them and are not stored by us.
Most of this information reaches us from the business whose workspace it relates to, or from a public blockchain, rather than from you.
We do not ask for special category information, such as health or biometric details, and it should not be entered into the Business Platform.
4. Public blockchain information
Your NEAR account identifier, the treasury contract address, its membership and permission settings, proposals, votes and non-confidential transactions are recorded on the public NEAR blockchain. Where a treasury sends or receives assets on another network, that transaction and the addresses involved are recorded on that network’s public blockchain in the same way. That record is public, permanent and outside the control of any person, including us. We cannot amend or delete it, and nor can you.
Settings recorded on the blockchain, such as who has access to a treasury and what they can do, can be changed by a later transaction. The earlier record and the change itself both remain permanently visible.
Where free text is typed into a field that is written to the blockchain, such as a proposal description, that text becomes part of the permanent public record. Do not put personal details into those fields.
5. Confidential transactions
Some transactions are executed through a confidential environment rather than being published on the public blockchain. Balances and transaction details there are not visible to the public or to other users.
We can access that information, and we do so where necessary to:
- operate, monitor, debug and secure the service;
- investigate suspected fraud, theft, sanctions evasion, money laundering or other unlawful or prohibited activity;
- respond to a security incident, including working with specialist incident response and blockchain analytics providers;
- comply with a legal or regulatory requirement, or a lawful request from an authority or court; or
- establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Confidentiality here means that transactions are not published publicly and are not visible to other users. It does not mean that they are anonymous. The operators of the confidential environment, and the solvers and bridge operators that process a confidential transaction, can see the details they need to process it. The near.com for Business Terms and Conditions describe Confidential Mode and who may be able to see information about a confidential transaction.
Where we do this for our own purposes rather than on the business’s instructions, we rely on our legitimate interests in operating and securing the service and in preventing and investigating unlawful activity, on compliance with a legal obligation where one applies, and on the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
6. Enquiries and early access
If you request early access, or contact us about the Business Platform, we collect the information you give us. On the early access form that is your name, company, email address and Telegram handle, along with the type of business you are in and how you heard about us.
We use this information to reply to you, assess and prioritise access, and keep a record of the enquiry. Where United Kingdom or European Union law applies, we rely on our legitimate interests in responding to business enquiries and developing our products and business.
If you separately opt in to marketing, we may use your email address to send news, events and offers about the Business Platform and related Intents Technology products and services. We rely on consent for that marketing. You can withdraw consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or by contacting us at legal@near.com.
7. Support
If you contact support we process the content of your messages and anything you choose to include, such as an account identifier, a screenshot or transaction details. Support is handled through a third-party helpdesk platform. We rely on our legitimate interest in supporting users of the Business Platform and in keeping a record of what was asked and answered.
8. Technical information
We and our infrastructure providers process technical information generated when you use the Business Platform, including IP address, request logs, browser and device information, and error reports. We use it to deliver the service, keep it available, and detect and investigate faults, abuse and security incidents. We rely on our legitimate interests in operating and securing the service.
9. Screening
We may screen wallet addresses, transactions and counterparties against sanctions lists and blockchain risk data, using third-party screening tools. We do this to meet applicable sanctions and financial crime requirements and in our legitimate interest in not facilitating unlawful activity. The information used comes mainly from the blockchain and from those tools rather than from you. The Business Platform terms explain when we may restrict or decline activity.
10. Who we share information with
- Service providers who host our infrastructure, monitor errors, provide support tooling, provide screening and, where we use them, provide analytics or marketing communications. They act on our instructions, or on the business’s where we act as its processor.
- Security and incident response providers, where necessary to investigate or respond to an incident, a theft, or suspected illicit activity.
- Blockchain networks and protocol infrastructure, including the operators of the confidential environment, the solvers that fill a quote, bridge operators and the node providers your browser connects to. Anything you transact is processed by public or shared infrastructure, some of which we do not control.
- Authorities, courts and regulators, where we are required to disclose, or where disclosure is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or to prevent or investigate crime.
- Group companies and professional advisers, on a need to know basis.
- A buyer or successor, in connection with a reorganisation, financing or sale of our business.
- Services the business connects to its workspace, such as a custodian or an application that uses our API on the business’s behalf. They receive what the business instructs us to share, under their own terms.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising or targeted advertising.
11. Cookies and browser storage
We use browser storage that is strictly necessary for the Business Platform to work, mainly to keep you signed in and to remember your interface preferences. Storage of that kind does not require your consent.
In addition to strictly necessary storage, we may use analytics and similar technologies to understand how the Business Platform is used and improve it. Our cookie settings identify the technologies currently in use, their providers, purposes and duration. Any non-essential analytics or session-recording technologies will be disabled unless and until you consent. You can refuse or withdraw consent at any time through those settings without losing access to the Business Platform. We do not use these technologies for advertising. If session recording is used, it will be configured not to capture private keys, passkeys, transaction details, address book entries, notes or free-text inputs.
12. International transfers
We are established in the British Virgin Islands and our providers are in a number of countries, including the United States. Where personal information is transferred out of the British Virgin Islands, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area or Switzerland, we rely on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or another lawful transfer mechanism, with additional safeguards where appropriate. Ask us if you want the details.
13. How long we keep information
We keep information in a workspace for as long as the workspace exists, and delete it when the business asks us to close the workspace or to delete it. We do not delete it on a timer, because you may not use the Business Platform for months and then return to a treasury, and would expect an address book and transaction history to still be there.
Everything else we keep for as long as we need it for the purpose we collected it, and then delete it. Technical logs are kept for up to 14 days, unless a longer period is needed to investigate a security incident or to meet a legal requirement. Backups are kept for up to seven days and are then overwritten, and a deletion is not applied to a backup already taken within that window.
We keep early access and enquiry information while we respond and manage the relationship. If you subscribe to marketing, we keep your contact details until you unsubscribe or we stop the relevant programme. After an opt-out, we may retain a minimal suppression record so that we do not contact you again.
Records on a public blockchain are permanent. We cannot delete them.
14. Your rights
Subject to conditions and exemptions, you may have the right to ask us for access to your personal information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, and portability, and to object to processing we carry out on the basis of legitimate interests. Where we rely on consent you can withdraw it at any time.
Three practical limits, which we would rather set out than leave you to discover:
We may be unable to link you to workspace information. We do not require a name or email address to use the Business Platform. Even if we hold contact details because you made an enquiry or asked for support, we may be unable to link them to a particular account or workspace. If you ask us to act in relation to information tied to an account, we will normally need you to show control of it, and we may be unable to act if you cannot.
We cannot alter or remove a record on a public blockchain. Neither can you, and neither can anyone else. Where a request relates to such a record we will take the steps that are within our control, which may include deleting the copies and links we hold off-chain and, where the product allows it, supporting a further transaction that changes the current position going forward.
Where we act as the business’s processor we act on its instructions. If the information is in a workspace, the business decides what happens to it. Ask it, and we will help it respond.
You can change your own display name and avatar at any time, which replaces the previous value. To close a workspace, or to ask us to delete information or remove a particular entry such as an address book record or a note, contact us at legal@near.com. Closing a workspace does not affect the treasury contract, the assets in it, or anyone’s ability to reach it directly. What it removes is the layer we provide: aliases, avatars, address book entries, notes and our cached copy of balances and history. It does not remove records on a public blockchain.
You can also complain to a data protection authority. In the British Virgin Islands that is the Office of the Information Commissioner. In the United Kingdom it is the Information Commissioner’s Office, and in the European Economic Area it is the authority for your country.
15. Changes to this notice
We may update this notice. We will post the updated version and change the date at the top. Where a change is material we will take additional steps to bring it to your attention.
