Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 February 2026

This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) outlines how Bitwise Asset Management, Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“Bitwise” “we” “us” or “our”) collect, use, disclose and protect personal information obtained through the websites and online services (the “Service”). This Policy applies to all entities within the Bitwise group, including our U.S., Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Switzerland and EU/UK subsidiaries and any other relevant location. This Policy is incorporated by reference into the Bitwise Terms of Service (the “Terms”). Any defined terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Terms. Bitwise Asset Management Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates each act as independent data controllers for the personal information they collect and process, except where specific processing activities are conducted jointly. In such cases, the roles and responsibilities of each entity are governed by a separate Joint Controller Arrangement in accordance with Article 26 of the EU, UK GDPR, Section 33 of the Guernsey GDPR and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the Swiss Data Protection Ordinance (as applicable).

For purposes of this Policy, “personal information” includes information that may be referred to as “personal data” under certain applicable laws.

Bitwise Asset Management, Inc. provides centralized privacy governance, policies, and tools for the Bitwise group. However, each entity within the group is responsible for ensuring its own compliance with applicable privacy laws and fulfilling its own obligations as a data controller.

4. How Bitwise May Disclose Your Information

Intra-Group and Third-Party Data Sharing

To facilitate our global operations, personal information may be shared among Bitwise entities, where permitted by applicable law and depending on the relationship and services involved. This sharing is conducted in accordance with applicable data protection laws and our internal policies to ensure adequate protection of your personal information.

For U.S. customers of Bitwise Asset Management, Inc., our information-sharing practices (including any sharing with affiliates) are described in our Annual Privacy Notice, which will control in the event of any inconsistency.

In addition, we may share any information that we receive through the Service with vendors and service providers retained in connection with the provision of the Service, including our payment processors, auditors, credit reference agencies, and other vendors for data analytics purposes.

International data transfers

When transferring personal information across borders, including from the EU/UK, Switzerland or Guernsey to the United States, such transfers are carried out in compliance with applicable data protection laws. Where required, Bitwise relies on appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission and, where applicable, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, the Guernsey Addendum and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses as adapted for Switzerland, or other valid transfer mechanisms recognized under the Swiss FADP to legitimize such transfers (or other valid transfer mechanisms recognized under applicable law). . Data subjects may request access to the relevant safeguards.

5. Security Measures of Information

We use reasonable technical, administrative and physical measures to protect information contained in our system against unauthorized access, destruction, misuse, loss or alteration. Unfortunately, the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention period is mostly based on our Group Data Retention Policy, and it varies depending on the type of information and the context in which it is processed.

7. As required by law and similar disclosures

We may access, preserve, and disclose your information and/or other account information or content if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to: (i) comply with law enforcement requests and legal processes, such as a court order or subpoena; (ii) enforce this Policy or other agreements; (iii) respond to your requests; or (iv) protect your, our, or others’ rights, property, or safety.

8. Merger, Sale, or other asset transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of assets, or transition of service to another provider, then your information may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction as permitted by law and/or contract. The use of your information following any of the foregoing events will be governed by the provisions of the Policy in effect at the time Bitwise collected such information. We may also share your information within our group of companies, where permitted by applicable law and, for U.S. customers of Bitwise Asset Management, Inc., consistent with our Annual Privacy Notice.

We may also disclose your information with your permission.

If we learn of a security system’s breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on the Service or sending an email to you.

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience on our Service. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.

If you block cookies, the performance of the Service may be impaired, and certain features may not function at all.

Where required by law (for example, on websites operated by the EU and UK subsidiaries), additional details about the cookies used and how you can manage your preferences are provided in the relevant Cookie Policy of the applicable Bitwise entity. Please refer to the Cookie Policy for the specific Bitwise website or service you are accessing for more information on the cookies we use and your rights in relation to such cookies.

We may also share such anonymized information with others.

15. Children's Privacy

Our website and Service are not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals where such collection is restricted by applicable law (for example children under 13 in the United States and, where applicable, children under 16 in certain jurisdictions).

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete such information as soon as reasonably possible. If you believe that a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information consistent with applicable law.
