Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality protections.

Data Security

Given the nature of luxury assets and private investments, we implement encrypted data transmission, secure storage for financial records, and restricted access protocols for sensitive client information. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including legal, accounting, tax, AML, and regulatory reporting requirements related to asset ownership and investment terms. Retention periods vary by data type and applicable regulatory requirement (e.g., KYC/AML records are typically retained for a minimum period required by law even after account closure).

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you;
Request correction of inaccurate data;
Request deletion of your data (subject to legal and regulatory retention requirements, such as AML recordkeeping);
Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and of certain uses of sensitive personal information;
Withdraw consent for marketing communications; and
Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@apodcstore.com or use our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page. We will verify your identity before fulfilling requests involving account data.

Children's Privacy

The Services are not directed to individuals under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn we have collected information from a child under 18, we will delete it. Contact us at support@apodcstore.com if you believe a child has provided us information.
