ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Individual users acting on behalf of an organization do not own the accounts they use; ownership and control rests with the organization, which may alter or restrict the user's access.

Interpretive note: The excerpt does not define what 'certain actions' the organization may take, leaving the scope of organizational control over user access indeterminate.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you use MetaMask on behalf of your organization, your organization—not you—owns the associated accounts and may take certain actions affecting your access or ability to use the Offerings.
