The privacy policy of FXAdverts
Privacy policy, July 2011

The definitions used in this Privacy Policy are the same as those used in FXAdvert's Terms and Conditions which can be accessed at http://www.fxadverts.com/DeveloperTerms.aspx

The purpose of this privacy policy is to outline how FXAdverts deals with any Personal Data you provide to FXAdverts while visiting the Website, reviewing Information or registering for and participating in the Program ("Privacy Policy").

FXAdverts respects your right to privacy and seeks to comply with all applicable laws including FXAdverts's obligations under the Data Protection Acts and any other applicable legislation. Personal data is data that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, address, email address and telephone number and any information about you that is directly linked to such personal data ("Personal Data").

Personal Data is only collected from you if you voluntarily submit it to FXAdverts or if it is collected as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By accessing the Website and registering for and participating in the Program, you consent to FXAdverts collecting, maintaining, using and disclosing your Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree this Privacy Policy you should not use the Website or register for or participate in the Program. FXAdverts is not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of other websites that may be connected or linked to this Website.

Data Collected

Registration: When you register with FXAdverts, FXAdverts asks for your email address. FXAdverts, in common with most websites, also logs the IP address of all requests to FXAdverts's servers.

Other Services: FXAdverts may also ask for additional information when providing you with other optional services including access to the Program. If you don't want to give FXAdverts the information requested, you don't have to, but you may not then be able to take advantage of such offerings. On occasion, FXAdverts may also ask you, on a voluntary basis, for other Personal Data in connection with competitions, surveys, or other promotional offers running on the Website or as part of the Program. Whether you give that information or not is entirely your choice.

Information FXAdverts Automatically Tracks: While on the Website, FXAdverts automatically logs certain information about how you're using this Website. This information may include the URL that you just came from, your IP address and the pages you visit while on the Website.

Cookies

If your browser is set up to accept them, FXAdverts also uses a feature known as a "cookie." Cookies contain bits of information that web sites transfer to your computer's hard drive for record keeping purposes. Cookies can make the web more useful by storing information about your preferences on a particular site such as the FXAdverts Website. Only anonymous, non-personally identifiable data is collected, and it cannot, by itself or in combination, be tracked to a specific individual.

FXAdverts uses cookies to automatically access your previously stored account information and deliver more personalised services and to estimate FXAdverts's audience size and usage patterns. FXAdverts may place a pixel on pages on the Website, or those of FXAdverts's advertisers and partners. This enables FXAdverts to record in its server logs that a specific user id has visited a particular page. This data allows FXAdverts to analyse and determine its audience's behavioural characteristics, which helps FXAdverts to optimise the Website, advertisement placement, and marketing focus.

Advertising networks that serve ads onto the FXAdverts Website may also use cookies. Please note that FXAdverts neither controls nor has access to those cookies and these advertisers' uses of cookies are subject to their own privacy policies and not FXAdverts's.

Most browsers are set up to accept cookies, but you can configure your browser to refuse cookies or to notify you when you've received one. If you reject cookies, though, you will not be able to use certain features of the Website such as remembering your log in details or customising your portfolio. For more on managing cookies, FXAdverts encourages you to read this guide about what you can do: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html

Where Your Information is Stored

The information outlined above, including any Personal Data, may from time to time be transferred to someone who provides a service to FXAdverts in other countries and it may be processed and stored outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) including in the United States of America. By using the Website, you consent to this possible transfer outside the EEA. Should this occur, FXAdverts will take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

FXAdverts's Use of Your Information

More Customised Service: FXAdverts collects personal information to provide you with the best and most personalised Web experience possible and to provide FXAdverts's advertisers with an efficient means to reach the right audience. In short, by knowing a little about you, FXAdverts can deliver more relevant content and advertisements to you while on this Website and thus, provide you with a more efficient, customised and seamless experience when using FXAdverts's service.

Internal Research: Cookies and the other information that FXAdverts automatically tracks are used to help FXAdverts better understand how FXAdverts's audience uses this Website as well as for internal research on users' demographics and interests. Each browser accessing the Website is given a unique cookie which is then used to determine usage patterns, and to help in targeting content and ads based on user interests.

To Confirm Your Registration and Contact You: Once you've registered, FXAdverts will send you a confirmation email acknowledging your new account to the address that you supplied. FXAdverts may subsequently email you about its various products and services, or other products and services FXAdverts feels may interest you. If you would rather not receive these subsequent communications, let FXAdverts know on support@fxadverts.com.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Except as described below, FXAdverts does not give, rent, lend, sell or disclose individual information to any third party.

Current or Prospective Advertisers/Partners: FXAdverts only provides aggregate, non-identifiable information to FXAdverts's current and prospective advertisers and business partners. For example, FXAdverts might tell advertisers that there are 25,000 registered users in Shanghai, but FXAdverts won't tell them any personal information.

Third Party Service Providers: FXAdverts may employ the services of third party providers to aid FXAdverts in certain aspects of FXAdverts's operations (such as the distribution of FXAdverts's email products or conducting a survey). Depending on the services performed, some of these providers may be provided with user information. These contractors would be subject to confidentiality agreements which limit their use and disclosure of all information they obtain through their relationship with FXAdverts to FXAdverts related business only, consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Legal Requests: FXAdverts may disclose your personally identifiable information to protect the rights and property of FXAdverts as well as to comply with any applicable law or valid legal process. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Requests by Government Agencies: FXAdverts will disclose any information FXAdverts has in its possession to law enforcement or government officials in response to any inquiry or investigation or if in FXAdverts's sole discretion, FXAdverts believes it is necessary or appropriate in connection with any investigation or activity that is or may be illegal or may expose FXAdverts or you to legal liability.
  • Disclosures FXAdverts is legally required or entitled to make under any enactment, rule of law or by the order of a court.

Forum: On any forum FXAdverts may operate (and anywhere else on the Website), you are publicly identified by your user or screen name. If you choose your full name as your username, you have voluntarily disclosed that information to anyone reading the Website. Similarly, any information you provide in your public profile is for public consumption. The same is true for any personal identifiable information (such as an email address) you include in any forum or related posts.

Sale of Business: FXAdverts reserves the right to disclose or transfer information (including your Personal Data) to a third party in the event of, or in connection with the negotiations of, a sale, merger, liquidation, receivership or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of FXAdverts provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy and provided that the third party only uses your Personal Data for the purposes that you provided it to FXAdverts or as otherwise authorised in this Privacy Policy. You will be notified in the event of any such transfer and you will be afforded an opportunity to opt-out.

Security

FXAdverts is committed to protecting your personal information. All information that you provide to FXAdverts is stored on FXAdverts's secure servers or otherwise as referred to in this Privacy Policy. Access to personalised areas of the Website is password-protected for your privacy and security and you have the option of protecting certain data by using a personalised PIN. While FXAdverts will seek to protect your personal information, due to the nature of the internet, FXAdverts cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to FXAdverts, and you do so at your own risk. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. If you need to change your password, please follow the steps set out on the Website.

Direct Mailings

If you register with FXAdverts or sign up for any of FXAdverts's products or services, FXAdverts will send you information about FXAdverts's various products and services, or other products and services FXAdverts considers may be of interest to you. Only FXAdverts will send you these notices. If you do not want to receive such offers and mailings, you can let FXAdverts know on: support@fxadverts.com. FXAdverts will remove your name from its lists as soon as practicable.

Other Data Processors

Many of FXAdverts's advertisers or partners, such as brokerages and merchants, link from the FXAdverts Website to areas on their own sites where they sell their own goods and services. If you follow these links from FXAdverts's Website to theirs, you should be aware that these other sites have their own privacy and data processing practices. FXAdverts has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies. For more information regarding a site and its privacy policies, check that site.
