The short version
- You don’t need an account to use this site, and we don’t ask you for personal details.
- We don’t set advertising or tracking cookies, and we don’t sell personal data.
- When you click through to a broker, that broker and its affiliate partners may set their own cookies, under their own privacy policies.
Who we are
GoldTradingBrokers (“we”, “us”) runs goldtradingbrokers.com and is responsible for the personal data described on this page. You can reach us at contact@goldtradingbrokers.com.
What we collect
When you visit the site. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically processes technical information so it can deliver pages and protect the site from abuse. This includes your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you request, the referring page and the time of the request. We use this only to run and secure the site.
When you email us. We receive your email address, your name if you include it, and whatever you choose to write. We use it only to reply and to deal with what you raised.
We don’t run user accounts, contact forms, newsletters or comment sections, so we don’t collect personal data in those ways.
Cookies
We don’t set cookies for advertising, tracking or analytics. Our hosting and security provider may set strictly necessary cookies to keep the site secure and available, for example to filter malicious traffic. These don’t identify you personally and are not used for marketing.
We don’t currently use an analytics service. If we add one, we will update this page first and, where required, ask for your consent.
Links to brokers
Buttons such as “Visit broker” send you through a redirect on our domain (for example /out/xm/) to the broker’s website. Once you arrive there, the broker and any affiliate network it uses may set cookies or collect data to record that you came from us. That processing is controlled by them, not by us, and is covered by their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reading them before you open an account.
Why we can process this data
- Running and securing the site: our legitimate interest in providing a working, secure website.
- Replying to your emails: our legitimate interest in answering you, or taking steps you ask for.
- Legal obligations: where we need to keep or disclose information to comply with the law.
Who we share it with
We don’t sell or rent personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us run the site, such as our hosting, security and email providers, and only so far as they need it to provide their service. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.
Some of these providers may process data outside your country, including outside the UK and European Economic Area. Where that happens, we rely on safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep it
Technical request data is kept by our hosting provider for a limited period under its own retention settings, and is then deleted or anonymised. Emails are kept for as long as we need them to deal with your message and any follow-up, and then deleted.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- ask us to correct or delete it
- object to, or ask us to restrict, how we use it
- complain to your data protection authority, such as the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK
To use any of these rights, email contact@goldtradingbrokers.com. We may need to confirm your identity before we act on a request.
Children
This site is intended for adults. It is not aimed at anyone under 18, and we don’t knowingly collect data from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the site or the law changes. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last updated.
