Tifosy Limited (“Tifosy”) is committed to safeguarding the privacy of its users’ personal data. Tifosy is the controller and responsible for your personal data. Throughout this privacy notice Tifosy will be referred to as “we” or “us”.

This privacy notice aims to give you information on how Tifosy collects and processes your personal data through your use of the Tifosy website, including any data you may provide through the website when you sign up, enter into a transaction or contact Tifosy by email, phone, post, live chat or otherwise. This privacy notice also tells you about your rights and how the law protects you.

It is important that you read this privacy notice in full. By using the services offered by Tifosy you are acknowledging that you have read, understood and agreed to its contents.

PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT FROM YOU

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified (“Personal Data”). It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous or pseudonymised data).

We may collect, use, store and process different kinds of Personal Data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

• “Identity Data” which includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier, title, date of birth and gender.
• “Contact Data” which includes postal address, email address and telephone numbers.
• “Financial Data” which includes bank account details, tax information and credit or debit card details (which we collect for immediate processing via our payment partners but do not store).
• “Transaction Data” which includes details about investments made by you through Tifosy and details of any other services provided to you by Tifosy.
• “Technical Data” which includes internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access the Tifosy website.

We also collect, use and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose (“Aggregated Data”). Aggregated Data may be derived from your Personal Data but is not considered Personal Data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as Personal Data which will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.
