Emails
If you provide your email address after using the Token Gesture Minting Station we will add you to our mailing

research, including how to mint your Token Gesture NFT. You can unsubscribe and withdraw from the research by
emailing e.morgan@ed.ac.uk to ask to be removed from this list. We will hold the personal data you provided us
for at least 3 years. After this period, if we wish to retain your data and continue to communicating with you,
we will send communication to you querying whether you wish to remain on our mailing list.

Token Gesture Data
As you participate in A Token Gesture and use this site we will collect some data about your use of
this site.
We will record data about:
- Your visits to the 'mint' page
- The number of artworks you claim
- Cryptocurrency wallets that are connected to the site (this will not be linked to your email)
Before you interact with a Token Gesture you will be asked to indicate that you consent for this data to be used for the purpose of delivering the website and project experience, conducting research and development, and occasionally invitation to further related research projects and events. Continuing to use the Token Gesture website constitutes consent for the purpose of such uses. Further information on the purposes and aims of the research are available here.
Wallets, NFTs, the artwork, and their transactions cannot be changed, deleted or removed once created, since they are built upon decentralised blockchain technologies. However, there is no personal data required to produce these.
If you wish to withdraw from this research, you should stop using the Token Gesture website, and your wallet, and email e.morgan@ed.ac.uk to unsubscribe from further engagement. We will delete any personal data you have provided to us, except a record of your consent.
You can revoke your consent for the use of the collected data by writing to the Data Controller’s representative stated below. Information you enter will always be used anonymously.
