1. The Scope?

This policy outlines the types of personal data the company collects about natural persons, how it is processed, shared with third parties, kept secure, and other related practices.

This Policy concerns information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is someone who can be identified directly, or indirectly when combined with additional information we hold or can access.

The Policy defines “processing” as any operation that involves the use or collection of personal data. This includes the management, structuring, and storage of personal data.

Our services are intended for a general audience and are not designed for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under 18, nor do we knowingly permit such individuals to access our services. If we become aware of any information about children, we will delete it as quickly as possible.

2. What personal data do we hold about you?

When you access our services and channels or visit our website, we collect personal data. We may request your personal data in certain instances. In other instances, we gather it by analysing your use of our services and channels or by receiving it from our third-party partners.

3. There is no obligation to provide personal information to the company and any resulting consequences.

You are not required to provide us with any personal data. However, in certain circumstances, choosing not to do so may prevent us from providing some services or may restrict users from accessing the website.

4. What types of personal data can we collect? When you visit our website, we may collect the following personal information:

The information we collect is not personal information and cannot be used to identify you.

Personal Data We receive from you: Any personal information you choose to provide to Us when you connect to a third-party online trading platform through Us.

5. The legal basis and reasons for processing personal data

Your personal data is processed by the Company for the purposes described in this section and in accordance with the applicable legal basis.

Without a legal basis, the company cannot use your personal data. The legal grounds on which the company is permitted to process your personal data are:

• You have consented to the processing of your personal data for one or more purposes. This includes instances where you submit personal information on the website so we can transfer it to a third-party trading platform.
• The company or a third party may need to process data to pursue legitimate interests. For example, this may be necessary to improve our services or to defend against legal claims.
• Processing must comply with a legal obligation.

Please contact us by email for further details about the processing required to protect legitimate interests.

Below is a list of reasons and legal bases explaining how we may use the personal data you provide to us.

6. Transfer of Personal Data to Third Parties

The company may also share personal data with third-party service providers, such as hosting and storage vendors, for purposes including processing IP address information and analyzing user experiences.

You may also request that we share specific personal data about you with third-party trading platforms. In such cases, we will transfer the personal data you have provided to us to those third-party platforms. The handling of your personal data will be governed by their respective privacy policies. Your personal data may be shared with multiple trading platforms.

The Company may, as needed, share personal data with affiliated entities and business partners. Doing so helps the Company access resources that enable it to enhance and improve the products and services it offers to its customers.

If necessary to safeguard third-party rights or assets, the Company may disclose personal data to regulatory, local, or other official authorities.

Additionally, we may share your personal data with potential investors or buyers, or with lenders to the company or any other group company, if such a transaction occurs (including the transfer or sale of assets of the company or any other group company), or as part of any merger, restructuring, consolidation, or bankruptcy of the company or any other business within the group.

You have these rights in relation to the information you provide as part of your personal data. To exercise your rights, please email your request to the address below.

Access rights

The Company can verify the accuracy of the personal data being processed about you. If so, you are entitled to access your personal data.

The Company can provide an electronic copy of the personal data it is currently processing and may charge a reasonable fee for any additional copies. Upon request, the data will be made available electronically.

The right to access personal data must be balanced against the rights and freedoms of others. If a request would adversely affect another person's rights or freedoms, the company may decline to comply or limit the scope of its response.

Right to rectification

The Company has the right to correct inaccurate personal data. You have the right to request that any incomplete personal data about you be corrected, taking into account the purpose of processing.

Right to Erasure

The following reasons are applicable: (a) personal data are no longer needed for the purposes for which they were collected or processed; (b) you withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing; (c) you object at any time, based on reasons related to your particular situation, to processing of your personal data where it is based on legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party; (e) personal data have been processed unlawfully; or (f) personal data must be deleted to comply with the company's legal obligations.

Processing restrictions

If you are concerned about the accuracy of your personal data, you may ask the company to limit the processing of your personal data.

If you request that personal data be restricted, it may only be retained with your consent, to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights, to protect the rights of another natural person, or where there are reasons of significant public interest within the European Union or a Member State.

Data Portability Rights

If processing is carried out by automated means and is based on your consent or a contract to which you are a party, you have the legal right to review the personal data you have provided to the company.

You are entitled to request that your personal data be transferred directly from the company to another controller, where technically feasible. Your rights under the right to erasure are not affected by exercising your right to data portability. The right to data transfer must not interfere with the rights or freedoms of others.

Right to challenge

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you when it is based on the legitimate interests pursued by the company or a third party. This right also extends to any profiling carried out solely on the basis of those legitimate interests. However, if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for such processing that override your rights, freedoms, or interests, or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, we may continue the processing.

Regarding direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data.

Right to withhold consent

You may withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that relied on your consent before its withdrawal.

You have the right to file a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.

You may file a complaint with a supervisory authority established by a Member State to protect individuals’ fundamental rights regarding the processing of personal data within the European Union.

The laws of the European Union and its Member States may limit your rights relating to personal data about you, as detailed in Section 13.

We will provide the requested information in accordance with your rights under Section 13 of this agreement within one month of receiving your request. The timeframe may be extended to up to two months, if necessary, depending on the nature of the request and the volume of requests. Within one month of receiving your request, we will notify you of any extension and the reasons for it.

So long as it does not conflict with Section 13 of the law, the information you request under your Section 13 rights will be provided free of charge. If a request is unfounded or excessive, particularly if repeated, we may charge a reasonable fee to cover the administrative costs of providing the information or communicating the action taken. We may also decline to act.

If we have any doubts regarding the identity of the individual who submitted your request, or about the person making the request on your behalf, the company may request further information.
