PIPLCOIN.COM PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy was updated on May, 2023.

WE RESPECT YOUR PRIVACY!
If you have any privacy-related concerns, please get in touch with us at: compliance@getonledger.com

PIPLCOIN is a vital part of GROSSUS - Blockchain Company Registry, since the PIPL (PiplCoin) was created to support PiplShare Blockchain Company.

GROSSUS - Register of Blockchain Companies (hereinafter — »GROSSUS«, »We«, »Us«, »Our«), who collects, uses, and discloses information, when you access or use the website available at https://piplcoin.com (the “Website”), make purchases through the Website, or when you otherwise interact with us. 

Since GROSSUS operates as a virtual entity within a decentralized blockchain network, it does not have a national legal address. The ownership, management, and decision-making processes are conducted through decentralized voting mechanisms. These characteristics are in line with the decentralized nature of blockchain technology.
Furthermore, the statement mentions that GROSSUS operates in a community-oriented fashion, facilitating the registration and administration of blockchain-based projects as "blockchain companies." This is a common practice in the blockchain industry, and such companies often operate in a decentralized manner, with no centralized authority governing their operations.
Overall, the statement accurately describes the decentralized nature of GROSSUS and its operations as a platform for registering and administering blockchain-based projects.
