Protecting the privacy and safeguarding the personal and financial information of our clients and website visitors is one of our highest priorities and rhymes with our value of customer satisfaction. The following Privacy Policy explains how we collect and protect your information.

Any reference to ‘us’, ‘our‘, ‘we’ or ‘INGOT’ in this Privacy Policy is a reference to INGOT Financial Brokerage Ltd.

By opening an account or by using our website, you give your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information by us as explained in this Privacy Policy.

1. Why we use your personal information

(a) We collect personal information when it is reasonably necessary for one or more of our functions and activities. These include:

I. Providing you with the products and services you ask for, and unless you tell us otherwise, to provide information on products and services offered by us and external product and service providers for whom we act as agent. If you have provided us with your email address or mobile phone details, we may provide information to you electronically with respect to those products and service;

II. Verifying your identity;

III. Complying with our legal obligations;

IV. Providing you with technical support;

V. Participating in any third-party acquisition or potential acquisition of an interest in us or our asset; and

VI. Taking measures to detect and prevent frauds, crime or other activity which may cause harm to our business or our products and services.

(b) We may collect information about you because we are required or authorised by law to collect it. For example, we require personal information to verify your identity under anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) regulations and other regulatory laws.

(c) We may also use your personal information for the future planning of our business, including product development, research and enhancing our customer service and providing you information on any opportunities that we believe may be relevant to you.

(d) In such instances outlined above, and in instances where we have legal or regulatory obligations, and depending upon particular restrictions, you consent to the disclosure of your personal information where we disclose that information to:

I. Relevant regulators or government authorities as required, authorised, permitted or compelled by law;

II. Where applicable, anyone authorised by you, for example, your financial adviser;

III. Sub article deleted; and

IV. Third party service providers, including those who help facilitate or support our business, or develop new software to run our business more efficiently, these could include specialist advisers who have been contracted to provide us with administrative, IT, financial, regulatory, compliance, taxation, insurance, research or other services.

(e) Where we share your personal information in the ways set out above, you acknowledge and understand that this may result in your personal information being sent outside of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Where this occurs, while we make reasonable attempts to protect the personal information that you share with us, you acknowledge that we may not be able to extract an undertaking from the overseas recipients that they will comply with privacy laws and the ability to enforce privacy laws or any other contractual privacy obligation in relation to any breach may be very limited. As such, we will not be accountable for any breaches of those laws by that overseas recipient.

Because privacy laws may not apply or be enforceable against some overseas recipients, we understand that you may choose not to disclose your personal information to us. However, if you choose not to provide the information, we may not be able to open your trading account or provide you with the product or service that you have requested.

2. The types of personal information we collect
