1. Information We Collect
Vestmerol collects information that you provide directly to us, information collected automatically through your use of our website and platform, and information received from third parties where permitted by law. Categories of information may include:
Account and identity data: name, email address, phone number, postal address, date of birth, and identity verification documents submitted during onboarding or compliance checks.
Financial and transactional data: account balances, trading activity, funding source details, and other information necessary to operate the platform and administer your account.
Technical data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, referring URLs, and general location data derived from your IP address.
Usage data: pages visited, features used, session duration, and interaction patterns collected through analytics tools and log files.
This is a general framework only; actual data categories collected depend on the specific services and forms deployed on the live website and should be confirmed and documented separately.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect for purposes that may include:
— Providing, maintaining, and improving our platform and related services;
— Verifying identity and complying with applicable know-your-customer and anti-money-laundering obligations;
— Communicating with you about your account, updates, and service notices;
— Analysing platform usage to improve functionality, security, and user experience;
— Detecting, investigating, and preventing fraudulent, unauthorised, or illegal activity;
— Complying with legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations applicable to Vestmerol.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing personal data, Vestmerol relies on one or more of the following: performance of a contract with you, compliance with a legal obligation, our legitimate interests in operating and securing our platform, and, where required, your consent. You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or regulatory requirements. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and applicable legal obligations relevant to financial services record-keeping.
7. Data Security
Vestmerol implements reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or from our platform.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, which may include the right to:
— Access the personal information we hold about you;
— Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
— Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements;
— Object to or restrict certain processing activities;
— Request portability of your data in a structured, commonly used format;
— Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your jurisdiction. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details on our Contact page.
9. International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the one in which you reside. Where such transfers occur, we aim to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with applicable data protection law.
10. Children's Privacy
Our platform is not directed to individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, we will take steps to delete it.
