If you click an affiliate link, we may share your email or transaction ID with the corresponding affiliate network to track conversions (only if you expressly consent, such as through a purchase).

    • Protect and defend our rights or property.
    • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Site.

  4. Business Transfers

    In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to this Policy or a successor privacy notice.

  5. With Your Consent

    Other than the uses described above, we will only share your personal data with third parties if you give us explicit consent (e.g., opting into a co-branded promotion).

5. Data Security and Retention

5.1 Security Measures

We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal data:

  • Data is stored on secure servers with industry-standard encryption (e.g., HTTPS/TLS for data in transit).
  • Access controls and authentication protocols limit who can view or process your data.
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability scans are performed to identify and address potential risks.

Despite these measures, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

5.2 Data Retention

  • Account & Subscription Data: We retain account or subscription information as long as your account remains active or as necessary to provide you with services.
  • Analytical Data: Cookies and analytics logs are retained in accordance with our third-party providers’ policies (usually up to 24 months for Google Analytics).
  • Legal Requirements: We may retain certain records (e.g., transaction logs, communications) to fulfill legal obligations or resolve disputes (typically up to 5 years, or longer if required by law).

Once data is no longer needed for its original purpose and no legal retention requirement exists, we will securely delete, anonymize, or aggregate it.

6. User Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  1. Right to Access & Portability

    You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

  2. Right to Rectification

    You may ask us to correct or update incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you.

  3. Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”)

    You can request deletion of your personal data if there is no legitimate reason for us to continue processing it.

  4. Right to Restrict Processing

    You have the right to ask us to suspend or limit the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances (e.g., you contest accuracy, or processing is unlawful).

  5. Right to Object

    You may object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes or where we rely on legitimate interests.

  6. Right to Withdraw Consent

    If you initially provided consent for a particular processing (e.g., email marketing), you may withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing before your withdrawal.

  7. Right to Lodge a Complaint

    If you believe your data is not being handled in compliance with applicable laws, you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (for residents of the EU, that would be your local Data Protection Authority).

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us at the address provided in Section 10 (“Contact Us”). We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law (e.g., within one month under GDPR). We may require verification of your identity to process any request.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our Site is not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from someone under 18, we will take steps to delete that information as soon as possible. If you believe we might have any information from a child under 18, please contact us immediately.

8. International Data Transfers

FOREX-TRADING.ME is based in UK, and your data may be transferred to, stored, or processed in countries other than where you reside, including the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United States. Those countries may have different data protection laws than your home country. Whenever we transfer personal data across borders, we take appropriate steps to ensure it is protected to the same standard as required in your jurisdiction, such as:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (for transfers from the EEA).
  • Relying on adequacy decisions (if a country is recognized as providing an adequate level of protection).

By using our Site, you consent to such international transfers and processing.

9. Third-Party Links and Services

  • Embedded Content: If our Site embeds third-party content (e.g., YouTube videos, social media feeds), those providers may collect data about your interaction with that content according to their own policies.
  • Advertisers & Affiliates: We allow third parties to display advertisements.

We do not control these cookies—please review the advertisers’ privacy policies for more information.
