2. Definitions and Interpretation
2.1 Personal Data
Refers to any data that can directly or indirectly identify a specific natural person, including but not limited to names, ID numbers, contact details, etc. However, in the context of blockchain technology, standalone wallet addresses, transaction hashes (Tx Hash), or on-chain data are generally not considered personal data unless linked to a specific natural person’s real identity.

Users understand that blockchain technology is characterized by transparency, immutability, and decentralization.
4. Non-Custodial Core Statement
4.1 No Asset Custody
All wallet-related services provided or introduced by the Group are decentralized, non-custodial technical tools. BWSC Group does not hold, custody, manage, or control users’ digital assets, crypto assets, or other on-chain assets in any form. Users have complete and sole control over their assets.
4.2 No Access to Private Keys or Mnemonics
The Group does not collect, store, back up, transmit, or access users’ Private Keys, Mnemonic Phrases (Seed Phrases), Keystores, or any sensitive information that can directly or indirectly control blockchain assets.
