Privacy Policy

Start by understanding what this site is, and what it is not

You are reading an independent editorial resource that reviews the broker FXCM for readers in Nigeria. This site is not the broker, it is not affiliated with the broker, and it does not provide financial services, accounts, deposits or advice. That distinction matters for your privacy: when you read our pages, you are dealing with an editorial site, not with a financial institution, and the information we handle is the kind a publisher needs to run a website.

This policy explains what happens to information about you when you use the site. It applies to readers in Nigeria and anywhere else the site is read. If you use the site, you accept the practices described here. If you do not accept them, the simplest way to protect your information is not to use the site.

Know your rights and learn how to exercise them

You have the right to know what information about you is held, to ask for a copy of it, and to have inaccurate information corrected. You can ask for your information to be deleted, and you can object to certain uses of it. You can also withdraw consent where consent is the basis for a use, and you can ask for a restriction on how your information is handled while a concern is examined.

To use any of these rights, contact us through the contact form on this site and describe what you want. We will respond within a reasonable period. If you believe your information has been mishandled, you can also raise the matter with the data protection authority in your jurisdiction; in Nigeria this is the Nigeria Data Protection Commission. We do not charge a fee for handling a request unless it is clearly excessive or repetitive.

See the legal basis for each kind of processing

Running an editorial site requires a lawful basis for handling information about readers. We rely on legitimate interests for the basic operation of the site, such as keeping it secure, preventing abuse, and understanding in aggregate whether pages are being read. Where we use analytics that are not strictly necessary, we rely on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

Where you send us a message through the contact form, we handle the contents of that message because you have asked us to respond, and because we have a legitimate interest in dealing with reader correspondence. Where the law requires us to keep certain records, we rely on a legal obligation. We do not use your information for automated decision-making that affects your rights, and we do not build profiles of individual readers for marketing.

Learn what is collected and what is deliberately not

We collect the technical information your browser sends when it requests a page, such as the type of device, the browser, the approximate region from which the request comes, and the page you asked for. We also collect the contents of any message you choose to send through the contact form, including the contact details you put in it. If you consent to analytics, we collect aggregated information about how pages are used.

We do not ask for and do not want your financial account numbers, your deposit details, your trading account credentials, your identity documents, or your precise location. This site does not open accounts, does not accept deposits, and does not execute transactions, so it has no reason to hold that kind of information. Please do not send such information through the contact form.

Understand who receives information, and who never buys it

Information is shared with the service providers that keep the site running, such as the hosting provider and the provider of the analytics service, and only to the extent needed for those services. If required by law or by a valid legal request, information may be disclosed to the relevant authority. Recipients are bound to handle information only for the purpose for which it was shared.

We never sell your personal information, and we do not share it with the broker being reviewed for marketing purposes. We do not pass your contact details to advertisers or data brokers. Our servers and those of our service providers may be located outside Nigeria, including in the European Union and the United States, and transfers are made under the safeguards required by applicable law.

Mind the limits on analytics, age, and children

Analytics on this site are used to measure, in aggregate, which pages are read and how the site performs. We do not use analytics to identify individual readers, and we do not combine analytics data with contact form messages. Where consent is required for analytics, you can refuse it, and the site will still work for reading.

The site is intended for adults. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you are under 18, please do not use the contact form or send us information. If we learn that we have received information from a child, we will delete it. If you believe a child has sent information to this site, please tell us through the contact form so we can remove it.
