Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Monstead ("we", "us", or "our") manages personal information collected through our online financial platform. As a provider of market analytics and trading access features, we prioritize the confidentiality and security of our users in the United Kingdom. This document explains our operational approach to data handling, ensuring transparency while you utilize our market access tools.

Categories of Data Collection

To maintain a secure and functional fintech environment, we process the following data categories:

Identity and Contact Information

Basic identifiers such as your full name, email address, and phone number provided during account registration or support inquiries.

Verification and Profile Data

Where applicable, we collect government-issued identification and residency documents to satisfy internal security protocols and prevent fraudulent activity on the platform.

Technical and Device Identifiers

Automated collection of IP addresses, browser types, operating system versions, and technical identifiers used to ensure platform compatibility and security monitoring.

Usage Analytics and Trading Metadata

Logs regarding your interaction with our tools, market data requests, and navigation patterns. This metadata is used for system optimization and does not imply custody of user assets.

Lawful Bases for Processing

We process personal data based on several standard legal grounds:

Contract Performance: Necessary to manage your account and provide requested services.
Legitimate Interests: Required for platform security, fraud monitoring, and service improvement.
Legal Obligations: To comply with UK statutory record-keeping requirements.
Consent: For specific preferences such as opt-in marketing materials.

Operational Use of Information

Monstead utilizes your data for account authentication, onboarding, and providing responsive customer support. Technical data helps us monitor platform health and identify unauthorized access attempts. Marketing communications are handled strictly according to your preferences; you may opt-in or out of marketing materials at any time via your account settings.

Data Sharing and International Transfers

We do not sell user data. Information is shared with specific processor categories, including cloud hosting providers, analytical services, and security vendors. For users in the UK, data may be transferred internationally; in such cases, we apply general safeguards to ensure a level of protection consistent with UK privacy expectations.

Security Measures and Retention

We implement reasonable physical and electronic safeguards to protect your information. However, no digital system can offer absolute guarantees. Data is retained only for the duration required to provide services, resolve disputes, or satisfy regulatory storage periods.

Your Rights and Request Steps

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to access, correct, or request the deletion of your personal data. To submit a request, please contact our support team. We verify the identity of all requesters before releasing information to ensure account security.
