Glide collects what’s needed to operate a regulated account and not more. This page documents what’s collected, what’s retained, how long, and how to exercise your rights over it.

What we collect

We don’t collect:
  • Browsing history outside Glide. No tracking pixels for adtech, no cross-site behavior collection.
  • Location data beyond what you provide for account opening. We don’t continuously track where your device is.
  • Contact list, photo library, or other device data beyond what you upload (e.g., a profile photo).
  • Biometric data after KYC. The selfie used for KYC matching is processed by the doc-check provider for that one match and discarded; it’s not retained for biometric login.

Where data lives

Data is stored in the jurisdiction matching your account region:
  • Canadian-residence accounts: Canada.
  • UK-residence accounts: UK.
  • EU-residence accounts: EU (specifically, an EU member state with adequate data-protection certification).
  • Hong Kong / Singapore-residence accounts: in-region.
Cross-border data transfers happen only as required for regulatory reporting or for serving cross-border transactions. Standard data-protection contractual safeguards (SCCs, Privacy Shield-equivalent) apply where regulation requires.

Your rights

Under GDPR (EU), UK GDPR (UK), PIPEDA (Canada), PDPO (HK), PDPA (SG), you have the right to:
  • Access — request a copy of all the data we hold on you.
  • Correction — correct inaccurate data.
  • Deletion — request deletion of data, subject to retention requirements that come from regulation.
  • Portability — request your data in a portable format.
  • Object — object to specific processing (e.g., marketing).
To exercise any of these, Settings → Privacy → Data request or email privacy@axtior.com. We respond within 30 days (often much sooner).

What deletion can and can’t do

You can delete:
  • Your activity feed beyond the regulatory minimum (after 7 years for transaction history; after 1 year for receipts in the default tier).
  • Marketing preferences — immediate.
  • Profile photo and non-required metadata — immediate.
  • Closed-account data beyond the 7-year regulatory hold — deletion runs after the 7-year clock expires.
You can’t delete (during the regulatory hold):
  • Transaction history — required to be retained for regulatory reasons.
  • KYC documents and sanctions screening logs — same.
  • AML monitoring detail — same.
The regulatory hold isn’t our preference; it’s a baseline our regulators require. After the hold expires, deletion runs and is irreversible.

DSAR redaction in receipts

If you redact a field in your activity feed (e.g., a counterparty name in a transaction you’d rather not retain visible), the receipt row stays in the audit log but the field is nulled and the redacted-fields bitmap is set. The replay UI renders the redacted field with a [REDACTED] watermark. This preserves audit-log tamper-evidence (we can’t make a row vanish) while honoring your deletion right (the actual data is gone).

Cookies and tracking

The Glide web dashboard uses:
  • Strictly necessary cookies — session management, sign-in state. Cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics cookies — aggregate usage tracking. Off by default outside the EU; opt-in via the cookie banner.
  • No advertising cookies. No third-party tracking pixels. No retargeting.
The cookie banner is honest. If you disable analytics, you’ll see fewer banners and we’ll see less usage data; the dashboard works the same either way.

Third-party processors

We use third parties to operate the account: Privy for embedded wallet auth, Bridge for fiat rails, Chainalysis for sanctions screening, Alchemy / RPC providers for chain reads, Sentry for error tracking, Mintlify for these docs. Each processor signs a data-processing agreement that limits them to the specific operation they perform. A list of current processors and the data each receives is at Settings → Privacy → Processors in your dashboard. We give 30-day notice before adding or changing a processor that handles personal data.

Reporting a privacy concern

For privacy-specific concerns: privacy@axtior.com. For regulator inquiries (e.g., a regulator’s data-protection authority asking on your behalf): we respond directly to the authority and notify you per local-law requirements.
