Security of Your Personal Data

Swaps uses appropriate technical, organizational and administrative security measures to protect any information it holds in its records from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Unfortunately, no company or service can guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of Customer information at any time. Among other practices, Customer’s account is protected by a password for Customer’s privacy and security. Customers must prevent unauthorised access to Customer’s account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting Customer’s password appropriately and limiting access to Customer’s computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing Customer’s account. Transmission of information via regular email exchange is not always completely secure. The Company however exercises all possible actions to protect Customers’ personal data, yet it cannot guarantee the security of Customer data that is transmitted via email; any transmission is at the Customers’ own risk. Once the Company has received the Customer information it will use procedures and security features in an attempt to prevent unauthorised access. Emails are stored on Company’s standard internal contact systems which are secure and cannot be accessed by unauthorised external parties.

Swaps uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt and protect the data you send us over the internet. If SSL is enabled, you will see a padlock at the top of your browser and you can click on this to find out more information about the SSL digital certificate registration. The Customer will also notice that when you look at the URL at the top of the browser you will see that it begins with ‘https’ instead of ‘http’. This means that you are in secure mode.

Swaps and any agents that it engages for the purpose of collecting, storing and processing personal data and any third parties acting on Company’s behalf, may collect, process and store personal data provided by the Customer. Service Providers have access to Your Personal Data only to perform their tasks on Our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

As a general rule, the Customer data is processed within the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA), but in some cases it is transferred to and processed in countries outside the EU/EEA. The transfer and processing of Customer data outside the EU/ EEA can take place provided there are appropriate safeguards in place and the actions are made based on a legal basis only. Upon request, the Customer may receive further details on Customer data transfers to countries outside the EU/EEA.

Analytics

We may use third-party Service providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Service.

This allows Company’s partners to recognize and deliver ads to Customer across devices and browsers.

Swaps can only use Customer’s personal data to promote its products and services to Customers if Swaps has Customer’s explicit consent to do so – by clicking on the tick box during the account opening form – or in certain cases, if the Company considers that it is in their legitimate interest to do so. Further, Customers have the option to choose whether they wish to receive marketing related emails (company news, information about campaigns, the company’s newsletter, the company’s strategic report, etc.) to Customer’s provided email address by clicking the relevant tick box during the account opening form.
