💼Legal - T&C and Policies
Welcome to Wind! This page is dedicated to providing comprehensive information about our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, including details about our third-party partners. We are committed to maintaining transparency and safeguarding your privacy, and we encourage all users to thoroughly review the information provided to understand our practices fully.
1. Introduction
This security policy outlines the essential security measures and practices for UAB Wind Technologies ("Wind"). to safeguard our non-custodial mobile wallet and web-based payouts dashboard, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of user and company data.
2. Password Management
When you create a Wind account, we use an algorithm called bcrypt to turn your plaintext password into a hash that’s unique to your account. This means that your password is stored as a random string of information which makes it hard to figure out. Therefore, no one—including Wind—can decrypt your stored hash to figure out the underlying password. Instead, when you sign into your account, our system verifies it’s you by the stored hash that returns in our system.
3. Self Custody
Wind is committed to empowering its users to take control of their digital assets, and this commitment is at the heart of our self-custodial wallet. In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, self-custody has emerged as a pivotal concept, and we are here to guide you through its importance and the role it plays in your financial sovereignty.
3.1. Your Private Keys
In the world of cryptocurrencies, your private keys are the keys to your financial kingdom. With our wallet, you are the sole owner of your private keys. This means that you, and only you, have access to your assets.
4. Security and Encryption
The technology that powers Wind was developed with industry-leading encryption and security at its core. We’re constantly upgrading Wind to stay ahead of any threats and to keep your Web3 experience as safe as possible.
Your private keys are strongly encrypted with an AES algorithm and they are also securely stored on your device. The passcode you set for Wind on your mobile device is strongly hashed before being saved to your device and is stored in a tamper-proof key store. Additionally, while using any of our products, your private keys never leave your device and are never sent over the internet or exposed to third parties.
4.1. Data Encryption
In the world of cryptocurrencies and self-custody, data encryption plays a paramount role in ensuring the security and privacy of your digital assets. Wind employs robust encryption techniques to protect your data and assets against unauthorized access, breaches, and theft.
We utilize industry-standard encryption algorithms, such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a 256-bit key length, to secure your data at rest. AES-256 is widely regarded as one of the most secure encryption methods available, ensuring that your stored data remains confidential and protected from potential threats.
For added security, we encourage the use of end-to-end encryption when sending or receiving cryptocurrencies. This means that only the intended parties can decrypt and access the transaction information.
4.2. Data Backup and Recovery
In the world of self-custodial wallets, data backup and recovery strategies are vital to ensure the long-term safety and accessibility of your digital assets. Wind understands the importance of these practices and provide guidance to help you protect your holdings effectively.
We regularly back up critical data to ensure data recovery in case of data loss or cyberattacks.
We test and validate data backup and recovery procedures.
5. Application Security
5.1. Code Review and Testing
We conduct thorough code reviews to identify and remediate any security-related issues. This process ensures that no security vulnerabilities go unnoticed before the application is deployed.
Our development team follows secure coding guidelines and best practices throughout the software development life cycle. These practices help identify and address vulnerabilities at an early stage of application development.
5.2. Secure APIs
Access to our application's APIs is restricted and controlled to prevent unauthorized access. Only authorized entities, such as the wallet owner, are allowed to interact with the APIs.
Our APIs use strong authentication mechanisms and role-based access control to ensure that only users with the appropriate permissions can perform actions within the application.
6. Incident Response
6.1. Incident Reporting
Incident response is a crucial aspect of your self-custodial wallet's security strategy. It involves preparing for, detecting, responding to, and recovering from security incidents to minimize their impact and protect your digital assets. Here's an expanded section on incident response:
We have established procedures for reporting security incidents. Users can report incidents through dedicated channels, such as email, online forms, or our customer support.
Upon receiving an incident report, our response team takes immediate action to assess the situation, contain the incident, and initiate an investigation.
6.2. Incident Mitigation
Containment: Once the incident is understood, containment measures are initiated to prevent further damage and stop the attacker's access to your digital assets.
Recovery: Parallel to containment, recovery procedures are executed to restore affected systems and services to normal operations.
7. Secure Third-Party Integration
Third-party integrations can offer valuable features and functionalities to your self-custodial wallet, but they also introduce potential security risks. Wind takes a diligent approach to secure third-party integration to ensure that the integration of external services and applications is done safely.
7.1. Vendor Security Assessment
Before integrating any third-party service, we perform a thorough risk assessment. This includes evaluating the security posture of the vendor, their reputation, and their track record for data protection and compliance with relevant regulations.
We ensure that any third-party integration adheres to our predefined security standards. This means that the integration must meet specific security requirements and guidelines to minimize vulnerabilities.
8. User Education and Training
Wind understands that providing user education and training is pivotal to ensuring that our users can confidently and securely manage their self-custodial wallets. We're committed to empowering users with the knowledge and skills they need to protect their digital assets.
8.1. Security Awareness
We provide a wealth of educational resources, including articles, guides, videos, and tutorials, to help users understand the security features and best practices of our self-custodial wallet.
Users are educated about the various threats and risks that exist in the cryptocurrency space, including phishing attacks, malware, and social engineering, so they can recognize and respond to potential dangers.
9. Continuous Improvement
Wind recognizes that the landscape of cryptocurrency and cybersecurity is constantly evolving. As such, we are committed to a culture of continuous improvement to ensure the security of your self-custodial wallet remains at the forefront of industry standards
9.1. Security Updates
We stay vigilant and monitor security vulnerabilities and threats. When security updates or patches are released by our development team or third-party software providers, we respond promptly to address known vulnerabilities.
We encourage users to regularly update their self-custodial wallet software and related applications. These updates often include security enhancements that protect against evolving threats.
9.2. Security Testing
We conduct regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify and address potential weaknesses within our system. This proactive approach allows us to remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Our development team continually reviews and audits the code to identify and mitigate potential security issues. Code audits are part of our commitment to secure development practices.

The interface
The Wind interface provides a web or mobile-based means of access to a decentralized protocol on various public blockchains, including but not limited to Ethereum, etc that allows users to trade certain compatible digital assets (using the "Uniswap protocol" or the "Protocol").
The Wind interface is distinct from the Uniswap Protocol and is one, but not the exclusive, means of accessing the Protocol. The Protocol itself has three versions, designated as v1, v2, and v3, each of which comprises open-source or source-available self-executing smart contracts that are deployed on various public blockchains, such as Ethereum. By using the Interface, you understand that you are not buying or selling digital assets from us and that we do not operate any liquidity pools on the Protocol or control trade execution on the Protocol. When traders pay fees for trades, those fees accrue to liquidity providers for the Protocol. As a general matter, Wind is not a liquidity provider into Protocol liquidity pools and liquidity providers are independent third parties. The Protocol was initially deployed on the Ethereum blockchain, and has since been deployed on several other blockchain networks including by parties other than Uniswap Labs. Deployments on other networks typically make use of cross-chain bridges, which allow assets native to one blockchain to be transferred to another blockchain. Please note that digital assets that have been "bridged" or "wrapped" to operate on other blockchain networks (including to blockchains compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine that are designed to ensure the Ethereum blockchain can effectively process more transactions or other blockchains that are frequently referred to as "Layer 2" solutions such as Polygon) are distinct from the original Ethereum mainnet asset.
To access the Interface, you must use a non-custodial wallet software, which allows you to interact with public blockchains. Your relationship with that non-custodial wallet provider is governed by the applicable terms of service (with respect to the Wind Wallet, this Agreement, and with respect to a third party wallet, the applicable terms of service of such third party). We do not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet and have no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. By connecting your wallet to our Interface, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and all of the terms incorporated herein by reference.
Non-custodial and no fiduciary duties
Each of the Products is a purely non-custodial application, meaning we do not ever have custody, possession, or control of your digital assets at any time. It further means you are solely responsible for the custody of the cryptographic private keys to the digital asset wallets you hold and you should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. We accept no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a wallet and make no representations or warranties regarding how any of our Products will operate with any specific wallet. Likewise, you are solely responsible for any associated wallet and we are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with or as a result of your wallet being compromised. For the avoidance of doubt, any references herein to a "wallet" shall include the Wind Wallet.
This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duties on us. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you acknowledge and agree that we owe no fiduciary duties or liabilities to you or any other party, and that to the extent any such duties or liabilities may exist at law or in equity, those duties and liabilities are hereby irrevocably disclaimed, waived, and eliminated. You further agree that the only duties and obligations that we owe you are those set out expressly in this Agreement.
You bear full responsibility for verifying the identity, legitimacy, and authenticity of NFTs that you purchase from third-party sellers using the NFT Marketplace Aggregator and we make no claims about the identity, legitimacy, functionality, or authenticity of users or NFTs (and any content associated with such NFTs) visible on any of our Products.
Our right to make changes

Despite section 16.1, changes to this Agreement which do not require thirty (30) days’ notification and are (1) more favorable to you; (2) required by law; (3) related to the addition of a new service, extra functionality to the existing Service; or (4) changes which neither reduce your rights nor increase your responsibilities, will come into effect immediately if they are stated in the change notice.

18.4 Enforcement. Even if we delay in enforcing this Agreement, we can still enforce it later. If we delay in asking you to do certain things or in taking action, it will not prevent us from taking steps against you at a later date.

The interface
The Wind interface provides a web or mobile-based means of access to a decentralized protocol on various public blockchains, including but not limited to Ethereum, etc that allows users to trade certain compatible digital assets (using the "Uniswap protocol" or the "Protocol").
The Wind interface is distinct from the Uniswap Protocol and is one, but not the exclusive, means of accessing the Protocol. The Protocol itself has three versions, designated as v1, v2, and v3, each of which comprises open-source or source-available self-executing smart contracts that are deployed on various public blockchains, such as Ethereum. By using the Interface, you understand that you are not buying or selling digital assets from us and that we do not operate any liquidity pools on the Protocol or control trade execution on the Protocol. When traders pay fees for trades, those fees accrue to liquidity providers for the Protocol. As a general matter, Wind is not a liquidity provider into Protocol liquidity pools and liquidity providers are independent third parties. The Protocol was initially deployed on the Ethereum blockchain, and has since been deployed on several other blockchain networks including by parties other than Uniswap Labs. Deployments on other networks typically make use of cross-chain bridges, which allow assets native to one blockchain to be transferred to another blockchain. Please note that digital assets that have been "bridged" or "wrapped" to operate on other blockchain networks (including to blockchains compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine that are designed to ensure the Ethereum blockchain can effectively process more transactions or other blockchains that are frequently referred to as "Layer 2" solutions such as Polygon) are distinct from the original Ethereum mainnet asset.
To access the Interface, you must use a non-custodial wallet software, which allows you to interact with public blockchains. Your relationship with that non-custodial wallet provider is governed by the applicable terms of service (with respect to the Wind Wallet, this Agreement, and with respect to a third party wallet, the applicable terms of service of such third party). We do not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet and have no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. By connecting your wallet to our Interface, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and all of the terms incorporated herein by reference.
Non-custodial and no fiduciary duties
Each of the Products is a purely non-custodial application, meaning we do not ever have custody, possession, or control of your digital assets at any time. It further means you are solely responsible for the custody of the cryptographic private keys to the digital asset wallets you hold and you should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. We accept no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a wallet and make no representations or warranties regarding how any of our Products will operate with any specific wallet. Likewise, you are solely responsible for any associated wallet and we are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with or as a result of your wallet being compromised. For the avoidance of doubt, any references herein to a "wallet" shall include the Wind Wallet.
This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duties on us. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you acknowledge and agree that we owe no fiduciary duties or liabilities to you or any other party, and that to the extent any such duties or liabilities may exist at law or in equity, those duties and liabilities are hereby irrevocably disclaimed, waived, and eliminated. You further agree that the only duties and obligations that we owe you are those set out expressly in this Agreement.
You bear full responsibility for verifying the identity, legitimacy, and authenticity of NFTs that you purchase from third-party sellers using the NFT Marketplace Aggregator and we make no claims about the identity, legitimacy, functionality, or authenticity of users or NFTs (and any content associated with such NFTs) visible on any of our Products.
Our right to make changes
17.1 We may change this Agreement by giving you at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. This notice will be provided either by email or displaying a notice in the App or in our Webpage. If we do this, you can terminate this Agreement immediately by providing written notice to us during the notice period (see section 6). If we do not hear from you during the notice period, you will be considered as having accepted the proposed changes and they will apply to you from the effective date specified on the notice.
17.2 In some instances, we may change this Agreement immediately. Despite section 16.1, changes to this Agreement which do not require thirty (30) days’ notification and are (1) more favorable to you; (2) required by law; (3) related to the addition of a new service, extra functionality to the existing Service; or (4) changes which neither reduce your rights nor increase your responsibilities, will come into effect immediately if they are stated in the change notice. Changes to exchange rates shall come into effect immediately without notice and you shall not have the right to object to such a change.
Other important terms
18.1 Third Party rights. This Agreement is between you and us. Except as provided in section 6.4, no other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end or make any changes to this Agreement.
18.2 Assignment. You may not transfer, assign, mortgage, charge, subcontract, declare a trust over or deal in any other manner with any or all of your rights and obligations under this Agreement without our prior written consent. We reserve the right to transfer, assign or novate this Agreement or any right or obligation under this Agreement at any time without your consent. This does not affect your rights to close your Wind Technologies Account under section 6.
18.3 Severability. Each of the paragraphs of this Agreement operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
18.4 Enforcement. Even if we delay in enforcing this Agreement, we can still enforce it later. If we delay in asking you to do certain things or in taking action, it will not prevent us from taking steps against you at a later date.
18.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements between you and Wind Technologies, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter.
18.6 Governing law. This Agreement is governed by Lithuanian law or UAE law as applicable respectively for the entities in Lithuania and the DIFC. Any dispute between you and us in connection with the Services and/or this Agreement may be brought in the courts of Lithuanian or courts of UAE as applicable to the respective entities in Lithuania and the DIFC, to the exclusion of all other venues.
