Privacy Policy
What this independent editorial site collects when you read our review of XTB in the United Arab Emirates, and what it does not.
More on the sponsored brokerUnderstand what we collect when you read
You are reading an independent editorial review of a broker. We are not the broker, we are not affiliated with the broker, and we do not offer trading accounts, deposits, or financial advice. That matters for privacy: we collect only what is needed to run and measure a publishing website, and we do not ask for the kind of information a financial services firm would require.
When you open a page, standard technical data reaches us through our hosting and measurement tools. This usually includes the pages you view, the time of the visit, the type of device and browser, approximate location drawn from the network address, and the referring page. If you send a message through the contact form on this site, we receive what you choose to put in it, including any name or email address you type there.
We do not collect trading data, account numbers, deposits, identity documents, or payment details. We do not ask for your financial situation, and you should not send it to us.
Set the age limit and protect children
This site is written for adults who want to read an editorial review. It is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.
If you are under 18, please do not use the contact form or send us personal details. If we learn that a message or record came from a child, we will remove it once we can identify it.
This position reflects the nature of the subject matter. A review of a broker is read by people making their own decisions about money, and the site is not designed for younger readers.
Know where data goes and who receives it
Our servers and the tools we use to measure readership are located in the European Economic Area and, in some cases, in the United States. Where a recipient is outside your country, we rely on standard contractual arrangements or an equivalent transfer safeguard.
Recipients are service providers that help us publish and measure: hosting and content delivery, site security, analytics, and the contact form. They act on our instructions for these purposes. We do not name them publicly because they change from time to time, but the categories are limited to what the site needs to operate.
We never sell your data. We do not share it with the broker reviewed on this site, with advertisers acting on their own behalf, or with data brokers. If a legal authority requires information, we disclose only what the law compels.
Rely on a legal basis for each purpose
Where data protection law applies, we process technical and contact data on the basis of our legitimate interest in publishing and improving an independent editorial resource, and in keeping the site secure and available.
For non-essential measurement and any cookies that require consent, we rely on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time through the settings on this site. For messages you send through the contact form, we process the content to answer you and to keep a record of the correspondence.
We keep data only as long as it serves these purposes, then delete or anonymise it.
Exercise your rights over your data
You may ask what personal data we hold about you, request a copy, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interest and ask us to restrict it.
To use these rights, write to us through the contact form on this site and describe your request. We will respond within the time the applicable law allows. If you are not satisfied, you may complain to your local data protection authority.
Because we collect little, some requests may result in our confirming that we hold no personal data about you.
See how measurement stays aggregated
We use analytics to understand which pages readers open and how they move through the site. The reports we look at are aggregated: counts of visits, pages, and general regions. We do not use them to build individual profiles or to identify you.
Where measurement requires consent, it runs only after you agree, and you can change your choice later. Aggregated figures may be kept for editorial planning, but they do not contain personal data.
This policy may be updated as the site or the tools change. The version published here is the one that applies.
