Who to Contact About This Privacy Notice
This Privacy Notice is being provided in accordance with the applicable requirements under the privacy and data protection laws that apply in the jurisdictions where we operate (collectively, the “Data Protection Laws”).

Where personal data is required to satisfy a statutory obligation (including compliance with applicable anti-money laundering or sanctions requirements) or a contractual requirement, failure to provide such information may result in us refusing to engage in transactions with you or to continue to do business with you. Where there is suspicion of unlawful activity, failure to provide personal data may result in the submission of a report to the relevant law enforcement agency or supervisory authority.
How We May Share Personal Data
We may disclose information about you to our affiliates, service providers, or other third parties to accept your subscription, administer and maintain your account(s), or otherwise perform our contractual obligations.

We will also release information about you if you direct us to do so.
It may also be necessary, under anti-money laundering and similar laws, to disclose information about you to facilitate the establishment of trading relationships with executing brokers or other trading counterparties.
We may also disclose information about you, or your transactions and experiences with us, to our affiliates or service providers for our everyday business purposes, such as administration of our business, record-keeping, maintaining security of our information technology systems, reporting and monitoring of our activities, investor relations activities, and compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

From time to time, we will review the purpose for which personal data has been collected and decide whether to retain it or to delete if it no longer serves any purpose to us.
To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we apply organizational and technical security measures in accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.
We will notify you of any material personal data breaches affecting you in accordance with the requirements of applicable Data Protection Laws.
