Personal Data Protection Policy (LGPD)

v1.0 · 2026-03-01

1. Purpose

This Personal Data Protection Policy sets forth the principles, responsibilities and procedures adopted by Nora Finance for the processing of personal data collected, stored and processed in the course of its activities as a stablecoin issuer, in compliance with Law no. 13,709/2018 (Brazilian General Data Protection Law - LGPD) and other applicable rules.

The policy aims to ensure that all personal data processing performed by Nora Finance observes the principles of purpose, adequacy, necessity, free access, data quality, transparency, security, prevention, non-discrimination and accountability, as set forth in art. 6 of the LGPD.

2. Nora Finance's Position on Data Processing

Nora Finance operates exclusively as a stablecoin issuer (pure issuer model), having as direct customers only the Nora Authorized Minters (NAMs) - legal entities credentialed to mint and burn BRS. Nora Finance does not maintain a direct relationship with end users.

As a result of this model, the processing of personal data by Nora Finance is structurally limited and occurs primarily in the following situations:

  • Collection of personal data of legal representatives and ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs) of NAMs during the KYB process

  • Processing of data of employees, service providers and business partners

  • Processing of data of visitors to the institutional website and digital channels

  • Processing of personal data that may incidentally appear in monitored on-chain transactions

Important Note Nora Finance does not process personal data of end users of the NAMs. Responsibility for processing such users' data lies entirely with each NAM, in its capacity as an independent controller before its own customers.
