How We May Use Your Personal Information

Compliance with Legal Obligations
We process data to comply with laws (e.g., identity verification, AML checks, retention periods, and disclosures to authorities).
Providing personal data is essential for a business relationship and requested services. If you don’t provide required data, we may be unable to initiate or continue our relationship.
Through Consent
Where you have given explicit consent (e.g., marketing), processing is lawful. You may withdraw consent at any time, without affecting prior lawful processing.
Safeguarding Legitimate Interests
We may process data for our legitimate interests or those of a third party (e.g., business operations), where necessary, fair,
and aligned with your interests and rights.
How We Share Your Personal Information
We do not share confidential client information with third parties unless:
- Required by laws, rules, or regulations;

Where necessary, disclosures may be made to:

Partners (e.g., banks, processors) may retain data to meet their legal obligations. Third-party providers may record searches performed on our behalf. External third parties acting as independent data controllers are governed by their own privacy policies. We generally require third parties to treat your information as confidential, respect your rights, and comply with applicable laws and this Policy’s principles.
Storage & Retention of Personal Information
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose collected or for legitimate business reasons, including legal/regulatory compliance.
Records are stored securely (electronic and paper) with safeguards against misuse, loss, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
When no longer needed, data will be securely deleted or de-identified. Certain records may be retained longer where required by law (e.g., AML laws require retention for at least five (5) years after the end of the business relationship, or longer if mandated).
Security
Personal information provided during registration or service use is protected by multiple security measures. Once logged in, you must use your username and password to access your account and keep your password confidential.
Registered information is stored securely and accessible only to authorized personnel. All personal data is transmitted over encrypted connections with measures to prevent unauthorized access or interception. Non-registered personal information is likewise stored securely and accessible only by authorized staff via password-protected systems.
While no method of internet transmission is entirely secure, we implement strict protocols to protect your data. The Company is not responsible for unlawful or unauthorized use of personal information resulting from password misuse, loss, or negligent or malicious actions.
