4. Who we share data with
We share personal data only where necessary, with:
- Identity verification providers, such as Sumsub, to verify your identity and screen against sanctions and PEP lists;
- Our trading platform provider, TradeLocker, to create and operate your trading account;
- Payment and blockchain service providers that help us process crypto deposits and withdrawals and screen wallet addresses;
- Technology providers that host our website and systems, provide customer support tools such as live chat, send emails, and provide analytics;
- Professional advisers, such as lawyers, auditors and accountants; and
- Regulators, law enforcement and other authorities, where we are required or permitted by law.
Our service providers may only use your data to provide services to us and must keep it secure. We do not sell your personal data.
5. International transfers
Our service providers may process data in countries other than the one you live in, which may have different data protection laws. Where we transfer data internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure it remains protected, for example through contractual safeguards with our providers.
6. How long we keep your data
We keep personal data for as long as your account is open and afterwards for as long as needed to meet legal, regulatory, tax and accounting requirements and to deal with any disputes. Identity verification and transaction records are generally kept for at least five years after our relationship ends, as required by anti-money laundering laws. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it securely.
7. How we protect your data
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse, including encryption in transit, access controls and the use of reputable service providers. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so you should also keep your login details safe.
