Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 May 2026 · Version 1.4

Aventus DAO Ltd and its subsidiaries ('We'/'Us') understand that your privacy is important to you and that you care about how your personal data is used. We respect and value the privacy of everyone who visits this website, aventus.io, subscribes to Our newsletter, reaches out to us, has sales conversations with us, applies for a job with Us, runs a node on the Aventus Cloud network, or contacts Us through Our community support channels.

We will only collect and use personal data in ways that are described here, and in a way that is consistent with Our obligations and your rights under applicable law.

Unless stated otherwise, Aventus DAO Ltd (headquartered at Office A, RAK DAO Business Centre, RAK BANK ROC Office, Ground Floor, Al Rifaa, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates) will act as the data controller of the processed personal data. We never store your data longer than We need it for a particular purpose. Once the purpose is achieved or no longer deemed relevant, We anonymise or delete your personal data. We apply industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data, such as encryption and role-based access controls.

A note on on-chain data

Information published to the Aventus Network and to the broader public blockchains it connects to, including wallet addresses, transactions, staking activity, and governance votes, is public by design and cannot be deleted or modified after the fact. Where you use the Aventus Cloud network, transfer AVT, or take part in Aventus DAO governance, please understand that information about your activity is permanently recorded on a public blockchain that is not under Our control.

Your Rights

Where we process your personal data for the activities mentioned in this privacy policy, you have certain rights linked to your personal data that we store about you.

If you wish to exercise your rights, you can contact Us by sending an email to dpo@aventus.io or sending a letter to Aventus DAO Ltd at Office A, RAK DAO Business Centre, RAK BANK ROC Office, Ground Floor, Al Rifaa, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.

You have a right to receive confirmation that we process personal data about you. You also have a right to access your personal data, as well as to receive a copy of that data and learn about other parameters related to the processing of your data.
Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request us to delete personal data we process about you. However, sometimes (e.g., if there are legal requirements for us to keep the personal data, or where the data is recorded on a public blockchain), we cannot delete it.
Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted, for example if you do not consider personal data to be correct.
Under certain circumstances, you have the right to require us to stop processing your personal data for a specific purpose. However, we may continue processing the same data for other purposes (if any).
Under certain circumstances, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, as well as to transmit the data to another data controller.
Where we asked for your consent to process your personal data, you have a right to withdraw this consent at any time. In this case, we will no longer process your data based on consent.
If you have any queries that cannot be clarified as a result of an internal dialogue with us, or if you wish to file a complaint, you can contact the data protection authority in your jurisdiction.
No processing activities include making automated decisions about you that might significantly affect you or lead to any legal effect. Automated decisions mean decisions based on solely automated processing without human intervention.
