In these cases, we will only disclose the minimum data necessary to identify your account and clarify the facts. This is done to protect our professional reputation and ensure transparent dispute resolution.
How Long We Keep Your Data
We maintain your personal information throughout the lifespan of your active account to ensure we can provide our services as described in this Notice.
Please be aware that we are often legally obligated to preserve certain records for extended periods. This includes compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) statutes and other specific regulatory mandates that require data retention even after your direct interaction with us has ended.
When your account is officially closed and we no longer have a legitimate business reason or statutory requirement to store your information, your data will be permanently erased or fully anonymized, ensuring you can no longer be identified from the remaining datasets.

Cookies and other Tracking Technologies
To optimize your user experience on our website and mobile applications, we utilize cookies, pixels, web beacons, and similar digital tracking tools. When you first access our platform, we will request your explicit permission to deploy non-essential cookies. Please note that “strictly necessary” cookies—which are vital for the core functionality and security of the site—do not require prior consent.
For a detailed breakdown of the specific cookies we employ, the reasons behind their use, and instructions on how to adjust your tracking preferences, please consult our comprehensive Cookie Notice.
Data Security
Safeguarding your personal information is a core priority. We employ a comprehensive security framework—consisting of technical, physical, and administrative defenses—to prevent unauthorized access, accidental loss, theft, or improper use of your data. These measures are specifically designed to block the disclosure, modification, or destruction of your information.
While we utilize sophisticated encryption and security protocols, it is important to acknowledge that no digital system or internet-based transmission is immune to potential breaches. Because the nature of the internet does not allow for a guarantee of absolute security, we cannot promise that your data will never be compromised. Nevertheless, we are committed to the constant evaluation and upgrading of our security standards to provide the highest level of protection possible.
Transfer Of Data Outside EU/EEA
Your personal information may occasionally be processed in jurisdictions located outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). Before any such transfer to our global affiliates or external partners takes place, we verify that rigorous security measures are in effect to maintain a high level of data protection.
To ensure your information remains secure, we rely on established legal mechanisms, such as transferring data only to nations officially recognized by the European Commission for their adequate protection levels, or utilizing Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and other legally sanctioned safeguards approved by the European Commission.
Change in Ownership or Control
In the event that our company undergoes a merger, sale, or any other transition in ownership or corporate control, your personal information may be shared as part of the transaction process or during the preliminary stages of such a change. Any successor or acquiring entity will be entitled to process your data, but they must do so strictly under the conditions defined in this Privacy Notice, unless you provide specific consent for your data to be used in a different manner.
