Privacy Policy

We (also referred to as “We”, “Us” or “Our”) are committed to protecting your personal data and safeguarding your privacy.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect and store the information you provide when you use the Blackridge Finmark website (the “website”).

These principles will be upheld:

• To ensure transparency regarding the collection and processing of your personal information:

We want you to be able to make informed choices about how your personal data is used and processed. That’s why we’ve created this official website—to explain how it works and to provide clear, relevant information about the use of personal data. We apply a range of methods and procedures to ensure the information you receive is accurate and up to date.

If we determine that you require specific details, we will share them at the appropriate time.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have and to clarify any limitations imposed by law. Please contact us by email at: info@blackridge-finmark.com

• Personal data will be used solely for the purposes set out in this policy.

We may process Personal Data for various purposes, including providing the website and connecting you with third-party trading platforms (the 'Services'); improving the site; protecting our rights and interests; maintaining and delivering the services; complying with legal or regulatory obligations; and performing administrative and business activities that support the delivery and use of the services.

We also process personal data to better understand your preferences and needs.

• To use key tools to protect your personal data rights:

To enable you to exercise your rights, we have substantial resources in place. Contact Us at any time to access your personal data. We can amend or delete it, stop using it for specific or broader purposes, and transfer the information to you or to a third party. We will endeavour to accommodate your requests.

• Protect your personal data:

Although we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal data, we will continue to apply a range of measures and safeguards to protect it.

Our privacy and security policy is comprehensive.

1. The Scope?

This policy outlines the types of personal data the company collects about individuals, how that data is processed, shared with third parties, and the security measures used to protect it.

This Policy relates to information concerning an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is someone who can be identified directly, or indirectly through a combination of additional information we hold or are able to access.

The Policy defines ‘processing’ as any activity that involves the use or collection of personal data. This includes the management, structuring, and storage of personal data.

Our services are intended for a general audience and are not designed for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under 18, nor do we knowingly permit them to use our services. If we become aware that we have collected information about a child, we will delete it as quickly as possible.

2. What personal data do we hold about you?

If you use our services and channels, or visit our official website, we collect personal data. In some cases, we will ask you to provide this information directly. In others, we collect personal data by analysing your use of our services and service channels, or by receiving information about you from our third-party partners.

3. There is no obligation to disclose personal information to the company, nor are there any associated consequences.

You are not obliged to provide us with any personal data. However, in some circumstances, choosing not to do so may prevent us from delivering our services or limit access to the website.

4. What types of personal data can we collect? When you visit our official website, we may collect the following personal information:

This includes details of your online activity log and traffic data (such as your IP address and the date and time of access), the language used, software crash logs, the type of browser, and information about the device you used. The information we collect is not personal data and cannot be used to identify you.

Personal Data We receive from you: Any personal data you choose to provide to Us when you connect to a third-party online trading platform through Us.

Personal information you provide specifically to third-party trading platforms to facilitate trading includes your full name, address, phone number and email address.

5. Legal basis and reasons for processing personal data

The company processes your personal data for the purposes set out in this section and in line with the applicable legal basis.

Without a valid legal basis, the company cannot use your personal data. The legal grounds on which the company may process your personal data are:

• You have given your consent to the processing of your personal data for one or more purposes. For example, when you submit personal information via the website so that we can transfer it to a third-party trading platform.
• Processing may be required by the Company or a third party to pursue their legitimate interests—for example, to improve our services or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
• Processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

Please contact us by email for more details about the processing required to safeguard legitimate interests.

Below is a list of the reasons and legal bases on which we may use the personal data you provide to us.

6. Transfer of Personal Data to Third Parties

The company may also share personal data with third‑party service providers, such as hosting and storage providers, for processing IP address information and conducting user experience analysis.

You may also request that we share specific personal data about you with third-party trading platforms. In such cases, we will pass on the personal data you have provided to us to those third-party platforms. Their use of your data is governed by their own privacy policies. Your personal data may be shared with multiple trading platforms.

The Company may share personal data with affiliated entities or business partners. This can provide the Company with the resources needed to enhance and improve the products and services it offers to its customers.

Where necessary to protect the rights of third parties or assets, the Company may disclose personal data to regulatory, local, or other official authorities.

We may also share your personal data with potential investors, prospective buyers, or lenders to our company or any other company within our group if such a transaction takes place (including the transfer or sale of assets belonging to our company or any other company within the group), or as part of any merger, restructuring, consolidation, or insolvency involving our company or any other business within the group.

These rights apply to the personal data you provide. If you wish to exercise them, please send an email to the address below.

The Company will provide an electronic copy of the personal data it is currently processing and may charge a reasonable fee for any additional copies. Upon request, the data will be made available electronically.

The right to access personal data must not compromise the rights and freedoms of others. If a request would adversely affect another individual’s rights or freedoms, the company may refuse to comply or limit the extent to which it can fulfil the request.

Right to rectification

The Company is entitled to rectify inaccurate personal data. You have the right to request that any incomplete personal data about you be rectified, taking into account the purpose of processing.

Right to Erasure

The following reasons apply: (a) the personal data are no longer needed for the purpose for which they were collected or processed; (b) you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for processing; (c) you object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party; (e) the personal data have been processed unlawfully; or (f) the personal data must be erased to comply with the company's legal obligations.

This right does not apply where the processing is necessary (a) to comply with a legal obligation under European Union or Member State law; or (b) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal rights.

Processing restrictions

If you are concerned about the accuracy of your personal data, you can ask the company to restrict its processing.

If you request that your personal data be restricted, it may only be retained with your consent, to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural person, or where there is a significant public interest within the European Union or a member state.

Right to Data Portability

If processing is carried out by automated means and is based on your consent or a contract to which you are a party, you have the legal right to review the personal data you have provided to the company.

You are entitled to request that your personal data be transferred directly by the company to another controller, where technically feasible. Exercising your right to data portability does not affect your rights under the right to erasure. The right to data portability must not adversely affect the rights or freedoms of others.

Right to challenge

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data where it is based on the legitimate interests of the company or a third party, including any profiling carried out on that basis. If we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your rights, freedoms and interests, or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, we may continue; otherwise, we will stop.

Regarding direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data.

Your right to refuse consent

You may withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out on the basis of your consent before its withdrawal.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.

You may lodge an appeal with a supervisory authority established by a Member State to safeguard individuals’ fundamental rights concerning the processing of personal data within the European Union.

The laws of the European Union and its Member States may restrict your rights in relation to your personal data, as set out in Section 13.

We will provide the requested information in line with your rights under section 13 of this agreement within one month of receiving your request. The timeframe may be extended by up to two months if necessary, depending on the nature and volume of requests. Within one month of receiving your request, we'll inform you of any extension and the reasons for it.

Provided it does not conflict with the provisions of section 13 of the law, any information you request under your rights in section 13 will be provided free of charge. If a request is unfounded or excessive, particularly if repeated, we may charge a reasonable fee to cover the administrative costs of providing the information or taking the requested action. We may also refuse to act.

If we have any doubts about the identity of the person who submitted your request, the company may request further information.
