Privacy Policy

Collection of Personal Data

We collect only such data as is necessary, principally for the operation and improvement of the Website and its content. The personal data that we may collect includes, without limitation:

• Contact details, such as your name and email address, where you send a message to us through the contact form on the Website or through any other channel;
• Business information, such as a company name or any additional information you supply in the contact form (if any);
• Subscription and download information, such as the email address you provide in order to subscribe to a newsletter or to receive other content from the Website, whether in the form of documents, analytical reports or other digital media;
• User account information (if any), such as the login email address, the encrypted password, and information derived from social login through accounts such as Google, Apple or Facebook.

Where you contact us through social media channels, such as Facebook, Line or any other platform, we may receive your public profile information or such information as you transmit to us through those channels, subject to your privacy settings.

In addition, our Website may automatically collect certain information concerning your use of it, including error logs, pages visited, referring URLs, clicks, use of the search function, session duration and general patterns of use. Technical data may also be collected, such as the IP address, browser type, operating system, device model, language, region, time zone and time of access, for the purposes of analysing traffic, improving the display of the Website and enhancing the performance of the system.

In certain circumstances, usage data may be aggregated within systems or platforms connected with the operation of the Website in order to analyse trends and improve the quality of the content. Any such processing shall be carried out subject to appropriate data protection safeguards.

We do not, however, intend to collect special category (sensitive) personal data as defined by law, such as health data, biometric data or religious beliefs. Should any such data be submitted to us inadvertently, we shall delete it, or restrict its processing, as appropriate and in accordance with applicable law.

Purposes of Processing

We use personal data for the operation of the Website and for the appropriate presentation of content. Should you decline to provide certain categories of data, some functions of the Website may not operate in full.

The principal purposes of processing are: the presentation of financial news and educational content in a manner suited to patterns of use and to the general trends of user access; the answering of enquiries, or the provision of assistance, where you contact us; the analysis of the use and performance of the Website and its content; the improvement of the operation of the Website; and the maintenance of system security and the prevention of irregular use.

Furthermore, certain categories of data may be retained in order to satisfy legal requirements, such as the retention of computer traffic logs for the period prescribed by law, as well as compliance with the orders or requirements of competent public authorities.

Where you have given your consent, we may use your data to send you news or related content; you may withdraw from receiving such communications at any time. Anonymous or aggregated data, from which no individual can be identified, may be used to analyse trends and to develop the quality of the content and of the Website.

Lawful Bases for Processing

Where applicable law so requires, we shall rely upon an appropriate lawful basis for the processing of personal data, which may include:

• Legitimate interests, such as data analysis, the improvement of content, the maintenance of security and the operation of the Website;
• Consent, such as for the sending of news or related content and for the use of non-essential cookies;
• Compliance with a legal obligation, such as the retention of data pursuant to the requirements of competent authorities.

You may withdraw your consent at any time, without prejudice to the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to such withdrawal.

Disclosure to Third Parties

We shall not sell, exchange or lease your personal data to any third party. We may, however, disclose personal data to, or permit access to it by, third parties to the extent necessary for the operation of the Website, such as providers of technological infrastructure and data storage systems, providers of analytics and performance-monitoring services, providers of cybersecurity services, and professional advisers. Such parties shall receive only such data as is necessary and shall be bound by obligations of confidentiality and by appropriate data protection measures.

Where you contact us through the Website, the information you supply — such as your name, email address or contact details — may be transmitted to service providers or to entities involved in the communications and service operations of the Website, for the purpose of responding to you or providing assistance. Any such transmission shall be undertaken only to the extent necessary and subject to appropriate data protection safeguards.

If you believe that your personal data has been used beyond the scope prescribed herein, you may notify us in accordance with the particulars set out under the heading "Contact" below, whereupon we shall take such further action as may be appropriate.

We may disclose data where so required by law, by an order of the court or by a competent public authority, or where necessary for the protection of rights, of safety or of the public interest.

International Data Transfers

The operation of the Website may involve the transfer of personal data to, or its storage upon, servers situated outside the country, such as the infrastructure of cloud service providers or analytics services. Any such transfer shall be effected only where necessary and subject to appropriate data protection safeguards under applicable law, which may include contractual measures or such other measures as the law recognises, so as to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected.

Data Retention

We shall retain your personal data only for so long as is necessary for the operation of the Website, for compliance with legal requirements, or for any other purpose set out in this Policy. The period of retention depends upon the nature of each category of data, the purposes of processing and applicable law. Once the data is no longer required, we shall delete or destroy it, or render it in a form from which no individual can be identified.

Data Security

We maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, use or disclosure. Such measures may include the encryption of data both in transit and at rest, the restriction of access rights, the monitoring of anomalies, and continuous oversight of our systems.

Notwithstanding the stringency of such safeguards, the transmission of data over the internet carries inherent risk, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a personal data breach, we shall assess the circumstances and act as applicable law requires, which may include notification of the supervisory authority and of any persons likely to be affected, within an appropriate period.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Website may employ cookies and various tracking technologies in order to support the operation of the system, to analyse patterns of use and to assess the performance of the Website, namely: essential cookies, which are necessary for the basic operation of the system; analytics cookies, for understanding patterns of use and volumes of traffic; performance cookies, for measuring use and improving the content and display of the Website; and preference cookies, for remembering your selections, such as language.

Certain analytical tools may additionally record patterns of interaction with web pages, such as scrolling, clicks and general patterns of use, in order to assist us in understanding aggregate user behaviour and in improving the quality of the Website.

These technologies may involve processing undertaken jointly with authorised external providers, to the extent necessary and subject to strict obligations of security and privacy.

Where the law so requires, we shall obtain your consent before using non-essential cookies. You may configure the settings of your browser or device so as to restrict, refuse or delete cookies as you see fit; the disabling of certain cookies may, however, impair the full functioning of parts of the Website.

Your Rights

Under applicable law, you have the right to request access to your personal data; to obtain a copy thereof; to have it rectified; to have it erased or destroyed; to have its use restricted; to object to its processing; to withdraw your consent; and to receive the data in a portable format (the right to data portability). Should you wish to exercise any such statutory right, you may contact us in accordance with the section entitled "Contact". We shall act upon your request within the period prescribed by law; we may, however, first require verification of your identity in the interests of data security.

Unsubscribing from news or content to which you have subscribed shall not affect your receipt of such information or notices as are necessary to the operation of the Website. Moreover, in certain cases, particular requests may not be capable of fulfilment where legal restrictions or contractual requirements so provide, or where fulfilment would adversely affect the rights of others.

Children's Privacy

Our Website is not intended for persons below the age prescribed by applicable law and is not, in general, directed at persons under the age of 18. We do not intend to collect the data of minors. If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child has provided personal data to us without your consent, please contact us forthwith.

Should we discover that any such personal data has been collected without appropriate consent, or without a lawful basis, we shall take reasonable steps to delete the data from our systems as promptly as is appropriate.

Links to External Services

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including, without limitation, brokers, trading platforms, financial institutions or other providers. We have no control over, and accept no responsibility for, the content, privacy practices or security of any such third-party website or service.

Any access to, registration with, or transaction entered into with a third party is a matter directly between you and that third party. We therefore recommend that you examine the privacy policy and terms of service of any such third party before providing any personal data or taking any other action.
