  • We have detailed security and data protection policies which staff are required to follow when they handle your personal data.

While we take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data will be kept secure from unauthorised access, we cannot guarantee it will be secure during transmission by you to our website or other services. 

We use HTTPS (HTTP Secure), where the communication protocol is encrypted through Transport Layer Security for secure communication over networks, for all our  web and payment-processing services.

If you use a password for our website, you will need to keep this password confidential. Please do not share it with anyone.

When you use our public services, which includes our social network accounts and our community forum, do not share any personal data that you don't want to be seen, collected or used by other customers, as this personal data will become publicly available.

 

11. Data retention

How long will you use my personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We might retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

By law, we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for seven years after they cease being customers for tax purposes and AML purposes.  

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data.  See the section below Your Legal Rights below for further information.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we might use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

 

12. Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.

 

Right to information about how your personal data is used.  

You have the right to be told how we use your personal data.  This Privacy Notice is one way in which we provide this information to you.  If you ask, we’ll provide a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We can’t give you any personal data about other people, personal data which is linked to an ongoing criminal or fraud investigation, or personal data which is linked to settlement negotiations with you. We also won't provide you with any communication we've had with our legal advisers.

Right to access

You have the right to access your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you

This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we might need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

 

Request erasure of your personal data. 

This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. 

You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we might have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. 

Note, however, that we might not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.  

As a regulated financial services provider, we must keep certain customer personal data even when you ask us to delete it.  If you've closed your account, we might not be able to delete your entire file because these regulatory responsibilities take priority. We’ll always let you know if we can't delete your personal data.

 

Object to processing of your personal data

You can object to your personal data being processed where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. 

You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.  In some cases, we might demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms. If you object to us using personal data which we need in order to provide our services, we might need to close your account as we won’t be able to provide the services.

 

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. 

This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

  • If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.

  • Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.

  • Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. 

  • You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. 

We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data

This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.  If you withdraw your consent, we might not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

Request a review by a person of an automated decision 

You can request that a human person review any automated decision we made about you, where that automated decision significantly affects you.

 

12.1 Exercising your rights

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at support@satoshideals.org.

Your ability to exercise these rights will depend on a number of factors. Sometimes, we won’t be able to agree to your request (for example, if we have a legitimate reason for not doing so or the right does not apply to the particular information we hold about you).

12.2 No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we might charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

12.3 What we might need from you

We might need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. 

We might also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

 

12.4 Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
