Privacy Policy

Introduction
1. When you use our services (the “Services”) on our website algfinancial.co.uk we collect, use and share your information. Algfinancial.co.uk (also “we”, the “Company” or “us”) protects and respects your privacy, fully implementing and complying with data protection principles and all relevant provisions of the GDPR. This Privacy Policy applies to our use of any of the information that we receive through our website, applications, buttons and widgets etc.
2. By using the website, you agree to this privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”).
Information collection and use
1. Regardless of the country you access the Services from, reside in, or supply information from, you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.
2. You expressly authorize us to collect, transfer, use and process your information in UK and any other country in which the Company or our vendors operate. With giving this consent, you understand that the laws on storing, processing, using and transferring personal information in UK may be less protective of your privacy than the laws of your state or country.
3. Amongst other, we may collect information and record details of your visits and interactions and the way you use the Services, including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data, whether this is required for our own purposes or otherwise, and the resources that you access. On a non-obligatory basis we may collect other information which from time to time may be relevant to the effective provision of our Services.
4. We may collect information about any device you may use to access the Services, including, where available, the device’s or computer’s unique device identifiers, operating system, browser type and mobile network information as well as the device’s telephone number and email for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. We may associate Device information with Registration Information and will treat the combined information as personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy for as long as it is combined.
5. When you use the Services or view the content on the website, we may automatically collect and store certain information in server logs, including but not limited to internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, operating system, the referring web page, pages visited, location, your mobile carrier, device and application IDs, search terms, internet service provider (ISP), clickstream data, language, viewed and exit pages and date or time stamps and cookie information.
Storing your personal data
1. All the information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers.
2. The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination inside or outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating inside or outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your orders, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. Access to your information is limited to those who have a need to manage it. Where your information is transferred from the EEA to a country that is not subject to an adequacy decision by the EU Commission, we will seek to ensure that it is adequately protected.
3. The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.
4. The Portal Operator collects and keeps a database with all users’ personal data and other information. The database will include:
  1. first name and surname;
  2. communication information (phone, e-mail, address etc.);
  3. communication language;
  4. information that you provide to us in writing (including by e-mail and when completing application forms and surveys, etc.)
5. We will be happy to clarify any information we hold on you, if you make a formal written request. You can then check, update or delete your details accordingly.
6. We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our Services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements, which in some cases involving the collection and processing of financial data may require a retention period of 7 years (or longer if required by law).

Disclosure of your information
1. We will never disclose your personal information to any third parties without your consent, unless we are required to do so by law.
Changing your information
1. The GDPR gives you the right to access information held about you. Your right of access can be exercised via the settings of the website or a petition to the Portal Operator. You may be entitled to ask us:
  1. for a copy of your information;
  2. to correct or erase your information;
  3. to restrict or stop the processing information;
  4. to transfer some of this information to other organisations; and
  5. where we have asked for your consent to process your data, to withdraw this consent.
    These rights may be limited in some situations – for example, where we can demonstrate that we have a legal requirement to process your data. In some instances, this may mean that we are able to retain data even if you withdraw your consent.
    
    Where we require information to comply with legal or contractual obligations, then provision of such data is mandatory: if such information is not provided, then we will not be able to meet obligations placed on us or manage your transactions on our website. In all other cases, provision of requested information is optional.
    
    We encourage you to come to us in the first instance with any complaints, but you are entitled to complain directly to the relevant data protection authority.
