Trustaris. Inc. (referred to as “Trustaris.”, “we”, “us” or “our” throughout this policy) takes privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose and protect information when you visit our website trustaris.co.uk or use our AI trading platform; together, these are called the “Service”. Please review this policy carefully. If you disagree with it, discontinue use of the Service.

- Device identifiers and, where relevant, mobile advertising identifiers.

Information may come to us from identity-check providers, fraud-prevention services and analytics partners. We may combine it with information we already hold to improve dependability and safeguard the Service.
2. How we use information
Collected information may be processed to:
- Set up, administer and deliver your account and the Service.
- Handle trading signals and automated orders through brokers you connect.
- Personalise your experience and show pertinent market information.
- Provide service messages, including confirmations, trading alerts and security notifications.
- Send promotional messages where you have opted in or where permitted by applicable law.
- Identify, investigate and prevent fraud or unlawful activity.
- Comply with applicable legal and regulatory responsibilities.
- Build, test and improve the Service with aggregated, anonymised information.
3. Lawful grounds for processing (EEA and UK users)
For people in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process personal data on these legal grounds:
- Contract performance: to provide the Service you request when opening an account.
- Legitimate interests: to combat fraud, secure the platform and improve our services.
- Legal requirement: to satisfy financial-law and tax obligations.
- Consent: for marketing and optional cookies, which you can withdraw whenever you choose.
4. Circumstances in which information is shared
We do not sell personal information. It may be shared with:
- Service providers: cloud hosting, communications, analytics and customer-support providers that are contractually required to protect your information.
- Connected brokers and exchanges: only the API instructions needed to run the strategy you have set up.
- Public authorities: when disclosure is required by law or court order, or reasonably needed to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.

5. Transfers of information abroad
Trustaris. Inc. serves customers in multiple jurisdictions. Your information may be processed or moved outside your country of residence, including to the United States and EU Member States. Where required by law, such transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission.
6. How long we keep data
We keep personal information for as long as your account remains open and for as long as necessary to deliver the Service. Once an account is closed, certain records can be retained for up to seven years when financial or legal requirements make this necessary. Statistical or anonymised data may be retained without a fixed end date.

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have the right to:
- Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct information that is wrong, incomplete or no longer current.

- Challenge certain processing or ask us to limit the way your information is handled.
- Obtain your information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable form.
- Withdraw consent whenever you choose; this will not affect processing carried out lawfully before withdrawal.
To submit a data protection request, email [email protected]. We generally respond within 30 days.
8. Keeping your information secure
We use measures such as TLS 1.3 for data in transit, AES-256 encryption for stored information, multi-factor authentication, permissions based on user roles and yearly independent penetration testing. No internet-based service is entirely risk-free. Use a unique, robust password and switch on two-factor authentication.
