3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data based on several legal grounds under GDPR, ensuring that all data handling activities are lawful and transparent.

For certain processing activities, we rely on legitimate interests, such as preventing fraud, ensuring platform security, and improving our services. We conduct regular assessments to ensure our legitimate interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.

6. Your Data Protection Rights

Under GDPR and UK data protection law, you have several rights regarding your personal information. We are committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights and provide clear mechanisms for submitting requests.

  1. Right of access to obtain confirmation of data processing and copies of your personal data
  2. Right of rectification to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information
  3. Right of erasure (right to be forgotten) in certain circumstances, subject to legal obligations
  4. Right to restrict processing where you contest accuracy or object to processing
  5. Right to data portability for data you have provided under contract or consent
  6. Right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing

To exercise these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer using the details provided in this policy. We will respond to valid requests within one month, though complex requests may require additional time with appropriate notification.

7. Data Retention Policies

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Our retention periods are based on legal requirements, regulatory guidance, and legitimate business needs.

Account information and transaction records are typically retained for seven years after account closure to comply with financial regulations and anti-money laundering requirements. Marketing communications data is retained until you withdraw consent or we no longer have legitimate grounds for processing. Technical data and cookies are generally retained for shorter periods, typically ranging from session duration to two years, depending on their purpose.

When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymise personal data in accordance with established procedures. Certain information may be retained in anonymised form for statistical and analytical purposes that cannot identify you personally.

8. Policy Updates and Contact Information

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or service offerings. We will notify you of significant changes through website notices, email communications, or account notifications, as appropriate. Continued use of our services after policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

For questions about this Privacy Policy, data protection practices, or to exercise your rights, contact our Data Protection Officer via email at privacy@support or through our customer service channels. We are committed to addressing your concerns promptly and transparently, maintaining open communication about our data protection practices.
