Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data this independent editorial site collects about readers in Australia, why it is collected, and how it is handled.
See the partner offerWhat does this policy cover, and what does it not cover?
This policy covers the personal data that this website collects when you read its editorial reviews and when you contact it through the contact form on this site. It describes why that data is collected, how long it is kept, who it is shared with, and where it is stored. It applies only to this site and to the editorial work done here.
This site is an independent editorial resource that reviews a broker for readers in Australia. It is not the broker, it is not affiliated with the broker, and it does not provide financial services, trading accounts, deposits, or financial advice. This policy does not cover anything that happens on the broker's own website or in any account you may open there. If you follow a link from this site to another site, that site's own privacy policy applies, and you should read it before providing any information.
This policy does not cover data collected by third parties whose content or measurement tools may appear on this site, except to the extent described in the analytics section below. It also does not cover any offline correspondence or any information you choose to send through channels other than this site.
What data is collected, and what is the legal basis for processing it?
The site collects the information you choose to provide through the contact form on this site, such as your name, your message, and the contact details you include so that a reply can be sent. It also collects limited technical data that is generated automatically when you visit, such as the pages viewed, the time of the visit, the type of device and browser, and a truncated or aggregated form of your network address.
The legal basis for processing contact form data is the need to respond to your enquiry and to manage the editorial correspondence that follows from it. The legal basis for processing technical and measurement data is the legitimate interest of the site in understanding how its editorial content is used so that it can be improved and kept accurate, together with any consent that is requested where the law requires it.
The site does not ask for and does not intend to collect sensitive information, and it does not collect data about your trading activity, your accounts, or your finances. Please do not include such information in a contact message. If you send it anyway, it will be treated as part of your message and handled under this policy.
Who is the data shared with, and who is it never sold to?
Data may be shared with the service providers that keep this site running, such as the provider that hosts the site and the providers that supply the measurement tools described below. These providers act on the site's instructions and are permitted to use the data only to deliver their services. Data may also be disclosed where the law requires it, or where it is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim.
The site does not sell personal data. It does not rent, trade, or otherwise provide personal data to the broker being reviewed, to any other broker or platform, or to any advertising partner, and it does not share contact form messages with them. No personal data is provided to any third party for that third party's own marketing.
The site is not affiliated with the broker it reviews, and no data collected here is passed to the broker as part of any partnership, referral arrangement, or commercial relationship, because no such arrangement exists.
How long is data kept, where is it stored, and how is measurement handled?
Contact form messages and the details needed to reply are kept only for as long as needed to deal with the enquiry and any follow-up, and are then deleted, unless a longer period is required by law or is needed to resolve a dispute. Technical and measurement data is kept in aggregated or truncated form for a limited period and is then deleted or anonymised.
This site and its service providers may store and process data on servers located outside Australia, including in the European Union and the United States. Where data is transferred outside Australia, the site takes reasonable steps to ensure it receives a comparable level of protection, using the safeguards offered by the relevant providers.
Measurement on this site is used to understand which pages are read, how readers arrive, and whether the content works as intended. Reports are reviewed in aggregated form, and the site does not use measurement to identify individual readers or to build personal profiles for advertising. If you have a question about this policy or about data held about you, use the contact form on this site.
