1. The Scope?

This policy sets out our procedures for the collection, processing, and sharing of any and all data relating to a natural person.

The terms of our policy apply to all natural persons who are identifiable or have been identified. This includes any natural person who can be, or has already been, identified in connection with data entrusted to us or data we can access and/or combine.

The processing of data, as defined in the Privacy Policy, specifically refers to the storage, management, and organisation of personal data.

We do not collect, nor do we seek to collect, any information about individuals under the age of 18. We also do not allow anyone under 18 to use our platform for any purpose. If we identify any user who is under 18 or any information relating to a person under 18, that information will be deleted immediately.

2. What personal data do we hold?

When you register with us, we collect the personal data necessary to enable you to use our services. Where required, we may also request additional personal data to verify ownership of an account. To maintain and improve service quality, we collect and analyse data about your use of our platform and that of our third-party partners.

3. You are under no obligation to provide the company with your personal data.

While you are not obliged to provide your data, choosing not to do so may limit the services we can offer. It may also result in your access to our platform being restricted.

5. Why does the company need my personal data, and is it lawful for them to do so?

The company collects, stores, and processes your personal information solely for the purposes set out in this Policy. All such activities comply with applicable laws in Ireland.

The company will not handle, process, or transmit your data except in accordance with applicable laws in Ireland. The legal bases for this are as follows:

• To enhance our services, establish or defend legal claims, and pursue legitimate interests, among other purposes, the company may need to store and process your personal data.
• Data processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations.

Below is a list of the specific purposes for which we may process your personal data, together with the applicable legal bases.

6. Sharing of Personal Data with Third Parties

To store and process IP addresses, conduct user surveys and analysis, and deliver related services, the company may share anonymised personal data with third-party service providers.

Upon your request, we may share specific personal data that you provide with third-party service providers. In such cases, your data will be handled and processed in accordance with that company's privacy policies. This may include multiple digital trading platforms.

To better serve our clients and enhance overall service quality, the company may, where necessary, share personal data with its affiliates and trusted partner organisations.

Where required by law, or to protect the company's rights and assets and those of our third-party partners, we may disclose data to relevant legal or regulatory authorities.

In the event of a significant business transaction—such as a sale of the company or the pursuit of investment or financing—we may share relevant data in a lawful and appropriate manner. This also applies in the case of a merger, restructuring, consolidation, or bankruptcy, in accordance with applicable law.

ONLINE TRACKING NOTICE

Your personal data will be retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described elsewhere in this policy. It may be kept for longer in line with applicable local laws, regulations, and company policies.

As part of our operations, we routinely review all personal data to determine whether it remains necessary.

9. Transfers of personal data to third countries or international organisations

When necessary to deliver our services and for security reasons, personal data may be transferred to third countries (i.e., countries other than your own) and to international organisations under robust security protocols. We apply the highest standards of data protection to safeguard your data and ensure you retain access to legal remedies and rights in all circumstances.

Across the EEA (European Economic Area), all residents are protected by data protection laws and safeguards.

• All data transfers are carried out under the EU’s legal jurisdiction and competence, in accordance with the data protection requirements set out in Article 45(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (“GDPR”)
• All data transfers between public bodies or authorities take place in accordance with Article 46(2). They are subject to a legally binding and enforceable agreement.
• The European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, issued under Article 46(2)(c) of the GDPR, set the conditions for data transfers, which are carried out in accordance with them. The Clauses can be accessed at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/model-contracts-transfer-personal-data-third-countries_en.

10. Protection of Personal Data

Personal data is protected using the highest standard of technical and organisational measures, in line with industry best practice. These measures are designed to prevent unlawful or accidental destruction, as well as the loss or alteration of that data.

While we apply the highest levels of care and best‑practice procedures for data protection, as required by law, it is not possible to guarantee in every circumstance that your personal data will be kept completely error‑free. For that reason, we cannot be held liable where personal data is disclosed, or for any incidental, intangible, or consequential damage or loss arising. This includes circumstances beyond our control, such as disclosure arising from transmission errors, third‑party unauthorised access, or any similar cause.

In response to legally enforceable requests from regulators or legal authorities, we may be required to disclose your personal data to them. Once disclosed under a legal obligation, we cannot control how those authorities handle, store, or protect your data.

Any information sent over the internet, including personal data, carries an inherent risk of interception and is not completely secure. Accordingly, the Company cannot guarantee the security of any data transmitted online.

11. Links to third-party websites

This website may include links to third-party applications and websites. Please note that these parties are not affiliated with us and are outside our control, and our Privacy Policy does not apply to them. They maintain their own policies and practices for the collection and processing of personal data, for which we are not responsible. Please use them at your own discretion.

Always review the privacy policy of any company or service when visiting their website before providing any personal data. Ensure their data collection, use and processing practices align with your preferences and priorities. Any information you choose to share should be provided directly to the service provider.

12. Policy Amendments

We may update or amend this policy at any time. We will notify you of any changes on our website and through other appropriate channels. The updated privacy policy will be posted on the website and, unless stated otherwise, will take effect immediately upon publication.

13. Your data protection rights

You retain full control and the final say over how your personal data is used, including the right to verify its accuracy, correct errors, and choose to delete it or restrict the scope and nature of our processing.

On this page, EEA residents will find information relevant to them:

Your personal data is protected under the rights outlined herein. By sending an email to the address below, you can exercise those rights immediately.

Accessing Your Rights

If the personal data you have provided to us is accurate, you may access that data at any time. Any of your personal data we process is available to you and therefore verifiable.

You may request your personal data at any time for verification, and we will provide it in electronic format. If you require additional copies of the data we process, beyond the initial copy, a reasonable fee may apply.

The rights afforded by law and this Privacy Policy must not infringe the rights of others. The company reserves the right to refuse or restrict access to personal data where such access would infringe the rights and freedoms of others.

Right to Rectification

Any errors in your personal data, whether due to omission or inaccurate information, may be corrected by you or by the Company as necessary to ensure it is processed properly.

Erasure Rights

You are entitled to request the deletion of your personal data in the following circumstances. 1) If your data has been processed without your consent or outside lawful bases. 2) If you ask us to remove it and the Company has no legal obligation to retain it. 3) If you no longer consent to, or you object to, any processing by us, even where lawful and based on our legitimate interests or those of a third-party provider. 4) If we are legally required to delete your data.

The right to deletion may be overridden and superseded by legal obligations arising under EU law or the law of any Member State. Likewise, this applies where data is required for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

Right to Restrict Data Processing

You have the right to request a restriction on the processing of your personal data where you believe it contains inaccuracies.

Upon request to restrict the use of your personal data, it will be deleted except in the following circumstances: 1) where applicable law in the European Union or any Member State prevents this. 2) With your consent, where necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims. 3) To protect the rights of another natural person.

Your Right to Data Portability

You have the right to access and review any personal data you have provided, where you have consented in any manner to its collection and where processing is carried out by automated systems.

You have the right to request the transfer of any or all personal data to another company or organisation, where technically feasible. This does not affect your right to the erasure of your data. This right cannot be exercised if doing so would infringe the rights or freedoms of another individual.

Right to object to data processing

Notwithstanding the Company’s right to pursue its legitimate interests, or those of a third-party service provider, you have the right to object to such processing and request that it stop. This does not apply where there is a pressing legal need to continue processing, for example to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. In such cases, we may continue processing your personal data.

You may at any time object to the processing of your personal data for any direct marketing purposes.

Right to Withdraw or Refuse Consent

At any time, and with immediate effect where possible, you may withdraw your consent for our processing of your personal data. This does not apply retroactively to processing carried out before you withdrew consent.

If you're dissatisfied for any reason, you have the right to lodge a complaint with any legal, regulatory, or other supervisory authority.

If you believe your rights and freedoms have been infringed in connection with the processing of your personal data, each European Union Member State has designated regulatory and supervisory authorities for this purpose. You may lodge a complaint with these authorities at your discretion.

Section 13 outlines circumstances in which your personal data rights may be limited under European Union or Member State laws.

Once we receive your request concerning your personal data and how it is processed, we will provide you with access to the information you have requested, as set out in Section 13 of this policy. We may extend this timeframe by up to two months, depending on the volume of requests and the nature of your request. If an extension is required, we will notify you of the extended deadline within one month of receiving your request.

We will provide the requested information electronically at no cost, except where doing so would contravene the law or the provisions of Section 13. We may charge a reasonable fee or refuse a request if it is deemed unfounded, excessive or repetitive.

We reserve the right to request additional proof of identity if we have reasonable doubts about the identity of the person requesting personal data, to uphold data protection and security.
