Data Collection and Use
FINANTRADEX strives to meet 'P3P' standards (the 'Platform for Privacy Preferences Project') on data privacy. We are the sole owner of any information we collect. We never sell, share, or rent this information unless we first disclose the fact in this privacy statement. We collect data in several different ways.
Site Registration
We collect your name and contact information (including postal and e-mail address). At your option, we may also collect your gender and date of birth. This information is used for site customisation and contacting visitors (you may opt out of this usage). This data will be used by ourselves and our agents.
Feedback
To send us a message using our feedback form we collect your name, postal address and e-mail address and comments. This data will be used by ourselves and our agents for contacting you. You may opt out of any future mailing.
Log Files
We use IP addresses, URL's of requested resources, timestamps and HTTP user-agents to analyse trends, administer the system and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Cookies
Cookies are a technology which can be used to provide you with tailored information from a website. A cookie is an element of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then store it on your system. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. Our site makes use of cookies. Cookies are used for the following purposes: Site administration, Site customization, User targeting, Contacting users and User analysis.
Links
Our website links to other sites, but we shall always try to warn you when this is the case. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites: make sure you read their privacy statements if you are concerned about the information they are collecting about you. This statement only applies to our website.
Security
We take every precaution to protect your details. When you submit sensitive information via the website, it is secure both on its way to us and once we receive it. We also do everything in our power to protect your information once we have received it. Our staff can only access your details if they have a specific job to perform, such as dealing with a membership enquiry. They also have to keep up to date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
Supplementing Information
We take our responsibilities to protect you from fraud very seriously. To fulfil this obligation, we sometimes have to supplement the information you give us with information from third party sources - usually, in order to make sure that no one else is using your credit card. We do not keep this information any longer than we have to.
Correcting/Updating Information
We recognize that details such as your post code or e-mail address are bound to change over time. We will do what we can to ensure that you can change the information we hold about you.
Choice/Opt Out
You will always be able to opt out of having your information used for any purpose other than that specifically related to the page where we ask for it. Our membership form, for instance, has an opt out mechanism so that you can join online without subscribing to our e-mail list. If you ever want to stop us getting in touch, you can opt out by letting us know.
Notification of Changes
If we change our privacy policy, we shall post a link to those changes on our homepage so that you always know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. When we collect information from you, we tell you what we intend to do with it; if we later want to use that information for a different purpose, we shall first send you an email setting out our plans - and it will be up to you whether or not we do so.
