Privacy Policy | Vesquarnela Data Practices Under UK Law
This policy explains how this research tool collects, uses and protects your personal data in accordance with UK data protection law.
What data we collect and why
When you use this research tool, we collect the personal data necessary to provide and improve the service. This includes information you provide directly — such as your email address when you sign up for updates or create an account — and information generated by your use of the product, such as session data and usage patterns. We do not collect sensitive financial data such as account numbers, portfolio values or transaction histories. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
We process your personal data on the legal bases of contractual necessity (where processing is required to provide the service you have requested), legitimate interests (where processing supports the improvement and security of the service in ways that do not override your rights) and consent (where we have asked for and received your explicit agreement, for example in relation to marketing communications). You have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
How we store and protect your data
Your personal data is stored on secure servers located within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area. We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or damage. These measures are reviewed regularly and updated in line with developments in security practice. Access to personal data within our organisation is restricted to those who need it to perform their functions and is subject to confidentiality obligations.
We retain your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised. If you close your account, we will delete your personal data within a reasonable period, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain certain records.
Your rights and how to exercise them
Under UK data protection law, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to request its correction if it is inaccurate, to request its deletion in certain circumstances, to object to or restrict certain types of processing and to receive your data in a portable format. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your data has been processed unlawfully.
To exercise any of these rights, or to ask a question about how we handle your personal data, please contact us at contact@vesquarnela.com. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests. There is no charge for exercising your rights in most circumstances.
