In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.

5. Wallet Connection and Private Keys

IMPORTANT: Winnie does not store, have access to, or control your private keys, seed phrases, or wallet passwords. When you connect your wallet to our application, we only access your public wallet address and request permission to initiate transactions on your behalf.

Winnie may send push notifications to your device to provide updates about your portfolio, market opportunities, and important information. You can manage notification preferences in your device settings or within the application.

By using Winnie, you consent to receive push notifications. You can opt out of push notifications at any time through your device settings, though this may limit your ability to receive important updates.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest
• Secure authentication mechanisms
• Regular security assessments and updates

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You acknowledge that you provide information at your own risk.
