Privacy Policy
How Storm Verdis collects, uses, and safeguards information when you use our platform and website.
This Privacy Policy is a general draft template and has not been reviewed by legal counsel. It should be customised to reflect Storm Verdis's actual data practices, the jurisdictions it operates in, and applicable law (such as GDPR, UK GDPR, or other regional frameworks) before publication.
1. Introduction
Storm Verdis ("we", "us", or "our") provides market intelligence and analytics tools for traders. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website and platform, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices available to you. By accessing or using our services, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, and any details submitted through contact or account forms. We may also collect information automatically, including IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited, and timestamps, typically gathered through cookies or similar technologies. If you create an account or subscribe to a service, we may collect billing details, usage preferences, and communication history related to your account.
3. How We Use Information
Information collected may be used to operate and maintain the platform, respond to inquiries, provide customer support, personalise your experience, send service-related communications, monitor and improve performance, detect and prevent fraud or misuse, and comply with legal obligations. We do not use personal information for purposes incompatible with those disclosed here without obtaining appropriate consent.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to remember preferences, analyse traffic, and support core functionality. You can usually configure your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the site or platform. A dedicated cookie notice or consent mechanism should be implemented where required by applicable law.
5. Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing personal data, we rely on one or more of the following: your consent, the necessity of processing to perform a contract with you, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving our services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
6. Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers who perform functions on our behalf (such as hosting, analytics, or payment processing), with professional advisors where necessary, or where required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request. Any third parties engaged to process data on our behalf are expected to apply appropriate safeguards and use the information only for the purposes specified.
7. International Data Transfers
Depending on where you access our services from, your information may be transferred to and processed in a country other than your own. Where such transfers occur, we aim to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with applicable data protection requirements. The specific transfer mechanisms used should be documented here once operational details are confirmed.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, including for satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the context in which it was collected. Specific retention schedules should be defined internally and reflected here.
9. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or from our services.
10. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to certain processing, or to request a copy of your data in a portable format. To exercise any available rights, please contact us using the details on our Contact page. We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.
11. Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
12. Third-Party Links
Our website or platform may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. The updated version will be indicated by a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of our services after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
