⚖️ 11. LEGAL GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING

Depending on the applicable jurisdiction and circumstances, personal information may be processed because:

• processing is necessary to perform a contract with you;

• processing is necessary before entering into a contract at your request;

• you have provided valid consent;

• processing is required by law;

• processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests where legally permitted;

• processing is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights; or

• another lawful basis recognised under applicable law applies.

We will not rely upon consent where another lawful ground is being relied upon merely to make processing appear optional.

Where processing genuinely relies upon consent, you may withdraw that consent subject to applicable law.

🛒 12. CONTRACTUAL PROCESSING

Certain personal information is necessary for AlgoVecter to complete your purchase and provide Products.

For example, we generally need sufficient information to:

• identify your order;

• process payment;

• issue an order confirmation;

• provide access to your Product;

• activate a licence where applicable;

• maintain transaction records; and

• provide purchase-related support.

If required information is not provided, we may be unable to complete a requested transaction or provide the relevant Service.

🍪 13. COOKIE POLICY

AlgoVecter may use cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure and improve the website.

A cookie is a small data file stored on or accessed from a user's device when visiting a website.

Similar technologies may include:

• pixels;

• tags;

• scripts;

• local storage;

• session storage;

• SDK technologies; and

• other storage or access technologies.

🍪 14. TYPES OF COOKIES

Cookies used on AlgoVecter should be categorised according to their purpose.

🔐 14.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for essential website functionality.

They may be used for:

• website security;

• user authentication;

• shopping-cart functionality;

• checkout;

• payment processing;

• fraud prevention;

• session management;

• maintaining cookie preferences; and

• delivering services specifically requested by users.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from operating correctly.

⚙️ 14.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may remember choices such as:

• language;

• region;

• account preferences;

• display preferences; and

• previously selected settings.

Where required by applicable law, functional cookies that are not strictly necessary will only be activated after the required consent has been obtained.

📊 14.3 Analytics Cookies

AlgoVecter may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors interact with the website.

Depending on the services actually implemented, analytics information may include:

• page views;

• session duration;

• navigation paths;

• device type;

• approximate location;

• browser;

• traffic source;

• interactions with website elements; and

• technical performance.

Where applicable law requires consent for analytics cookies, such cookies will not be activated before valid consent has been provided.

📣 14.4 Advertising & Marketing Cookies

Where AlgoVecter uses advertising, retargeting or marketing technologies, these technologies may help measure advertisements or understand interactions with marketing campaigns.

They may be provided by third parties.

Where applicable law requires prior consent, advertising or marketing cookies will remain disabled unless the visitor chooses to enable them.

Users must be able to decline non-essential cookies without being prevented from accessing ordinary website content solely because of that refusal, except where a particular optional feature itself requires a third-party technology.

✅ 15. COOKIE CONSENT

Where required under applicable law, AlgoVecter should provide visitors with a cookie consent mechanism.

Visitors should be able to choose between options such as:

✓ Accept All

✕ Reject Non-Essential

⚙️ Manage Preferences

Non-essential cookie categories requiring consent should remain disabled until the user provides the required consent.

A user's decision simply to continue browsing the website should not, where the applicable law requires affirmative consent, be treated as consent to non-essential tracking technologies.

⚙️ 16. COOKIE PREFERENCES

Visitors can modify their cookie preferences through AlgoVecter's cookie settings interface where available.

Users may also use browser settings to:

• block cookies;

• remove cookies;

• restrict third-party cookies; or

• receive notifications before cookies are placed.

Restricting essential technologies may affect website functionality.

Withdrawing consent should be reasonably as easy as providing consent where required by applicable law.

🗂️ 17. COOKIE REGISTER

AlgoVecter should maintain an accurate register of cookies and similar technologies actually operating on the website.

The register should identify, where applicable:

The exact cookies, providers, purposes and retention periods may change when website services are added, removed or updated.

AlgoVecter should ensure that its live cookie-consent system contains the current cookie name, provider, purpose, category and duration for technologies actually deployed on the website.

📊 18. ANALYTICS

AlgoVecter may use analytics services to evaluate website usage and technical performance.

Analytics may help us understand:

• which pages are used;

• website errors;

• general traffic patterns;

• device categories;

• website performance; and

• how visitors navigate the website.

Where required, analytics will operate subject to user consent.

Analytics information should not be used to make automated financial or trading decisions on behalf of customers.

📧 19. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

AlgoVecter may send promotional emails or other electronic marketing communications only in circumstances permitted by applicable law.

Where consent is legally required, AlgoVecter should obtain the required consent before sending unsolicited electronic marketing.

Consent to marketing should not be unnecessarily bundled with acceptance of Terms & Conditions or completion of a Product purchase.

✉️ 20. MARKETING OPT-OUT

Every qualifying electronic marketing communication should provide an appropriate means of opting out or unsubscribing.

You may withdraw your marketing preference at any time through:

• an unsubscribe link;

• marketing preference settings; or

• the contact method provided by AlgoVecter.

After an opt-out request, AlgoVecter may retain limited information necessary to maintain a suppression record so that the marketing preference can be respected.

Opting out of marketing does not prevent AlgoVecter from sending necessary transactional or administrative messages concerning an existing order, account, security matter or Product licence.

🧾 21. TRANSACTIONAL COMMUNICATIONS

AlgoVecter may send communications necessary to perform or administer transactions, including:

• order confirmations;

• payment notifications;

• invoices;

• download links;

• licence information;

• account-security notices;

• refund communications;

• customer-support responses;

• Product-access information; and

• legally required notices.

These communications are distinct from optional promotional marketing.

🤝 22. SERVICE PROVIDERS

AlgoVecter may use trusted service providers to support its business operations.

Depending on the services used, these may include providers of:

• website hosting;

• cloud infrastructure;

• payment processing;

• email delivery;

• customer support;

• website security;

• fraud prevention;

• analytics;

• cookie management;

• accounting;

• software licensing;

• backups; and

• technical infrastructure.

Service providers should receive only the personal information reasonably necessary for their role and should process information subject to applicable legal and contractual safeguards.

💳 23. PAYMENT PROCESSORS

Payment processors may independently collect or process personal and financial information required to complete payment.

Their processing may be governed by their own privacy policies.

AlgoVecter should identify applicable payment providers at checkout or through accessible website information where legally required.

🚫 24. SELLING PERSONAL INFORMATION

AlgoVecter does not sell personal information as part of its ordinary business model.

Where a jurisdiction provides specific legal definitions of “sale,” “sharing,” targeted advertising or cross-context behavioural advertising, AlgoVecter will provide any controls legally required if AlgoVecter's activities fall within those definitions.

🔄 25. SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION

Personal information may be shared where reasonably necessary with:

• payment processors;

• hosting providers;

• email providers;

• software or licence providers;

• professional advisers;

• accountants;

• auditors;

• security providers;

• fraud-prevention providers;

• regulators;

• courts;

• law-enforcement authorities; and

• other legally authorised recipients.

Personal information should not be disclosed to unrelated third parties without a lawful reason.

👮 26. LEGAL DISCLOSURE

AlgoVecter may disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

• comply with applicable law;

• comply with a lawful court order;

• respond to a legally valid regulatory request;

• investigate suspected fraud;

• protect website security;

• protect AlgoVecter's legal rights;

• defend legal proceedings; or

• protect customers and other persons.

Requests for personal information from authorities should be assessed for legal validity where appropriate.

🌍 27. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Because AlgoVecter sells digital Products internationally and may use technology providers operating in different countries, personal information may in some circumstances be processed outside South Africa or outside the country where a customer resides.

Where cross-border transfers are subject to legal restrictions, AlgoVecter should use an appropriate legal mechanism or safeguard required by applicable law.

Depending on the circumstances, safeguards may include:

• applicable contractual protections;

• legally recognised transfer mechanisms;

• transfer to jurisdictions providing adequate protection;

• consent where legally appropriate;

• transfers necessary for contractual performance where legally permitted; or

• another transfer mechanism authorised by applicable law.

AlgoVecter will seek to protect personal information when it is transferred internationally.

🇿🇦 28. SOUTH AFRICAN PRIVACY RIGHTS — POPIA

Where POPIA applies, data subjects may have rights concerning their personal information, including the right, subject to applicable limitations, to:

• know whether AlgoVecter holds their personal information;

• object to certain processing;

• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;

• object to qualifying direct marketing;

• complain about unlawful processing; and

• submit a complaint to the Information Regulator.

Requests may be subject to identity verification and other requirements permitted by law.

🇪🇺 29. EEA / EU PRIVACY RIGHTS

• access;

• rectification;

• erasure;

• restriction of processing;

• objection;

• data portability;

• withdrawal of consent; and

• lodging a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

Where processing is based on consent, withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing performed before the withdrawal.

🇬🇧 30. UNITED KINGDOM USERS

Where UK data-protection legislation applies, individuals may have rights similar to those concerning:

• access;

• correction;

• deletion;

• restriction;

• objection;

• portability; and

• withdrawal of consent.

Applicable cookie and electronic-marketing requirements will also be respected where required.

🇺🇸 31. UNITED STATES PRIVACY RIGHTS

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under applicable state privacy legislation.

Depending on the law and whether it applies to AlgoVecter, these may include rights to:

• know or access personal information;

• correct personal information;

• delete personal information;

• obtain a portable copy;

• opt out of legally defined sales or sharing;

• opt out of targeted advertising; and

• appeal certain privacy-request decisions.

AlgoVecter will honour such rights where the applicable law requires it to do so.

🌐 32. OTHER INTERNATIONAL PRIVACY RIGHTS

Individuals in other jurisdictions may have additional rights under mandatory local privacy legislation.

Nothing in this Policy is intended to remove a privacy right that applicable law does not permit AlgoVecter to exclude.

If mandatory local privacy legislation applies, AlgoVecter will process qualifying requests according to that legislation.

🗑️ 33. DATA RETENTION

AlgoVecter should retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may depend on:

• the type of information;

• transaction requirements;

• contractual obligations;

• licence duration;

• customer-support requirements;

• accounting requirements;

• tax requirements;

• fraud-prevention needs;

• dispute periods;

• security requirements; and

• statutory record-keeping obligations.

Information that is no longer required should be securely deleted, destroyed, anonymised or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable law.

🧾 34. TRANSACTION RECORDS

Certain order, invoice, payment, accounting and tax records may need to be retained after a customer account has been closed or after a deletion request.

Where retention is legally required, such information may be retained for the applicable statutory period and restricted to the required purposes.

🔐 35. INFORMATION SECURITY

AlgoVecter seeks to use reasonable and appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to protect personal information against:

• unauthorised access;

• accidental loss;

• misuse;

• unauthorised disclosure;

• unlawful destruction;

• alteration; and

• compromise.

Measures may include, where appropriate:

• access controls;

• encrypted connections;

• authentication systems;

• restricted administrative access;

• secure hosting;

• software updates;

• security monitoring;

• backups;

• malware protection; and

• appropriate service-provider controls.

No online system can eliminate every information-security risk.

🚨 36. DATA SECURITY INCIDENTS

If AlgoVecter becomes aware of a qualifying security compromise involving personal information, the incident will be assessed and handled according to applicable law.

Where legally required, AlgoVecter may notify:

• the affected individuals;

• the Information Regulator;

• another relevant privacy authority; or

• other legally required recipients.

👶 37. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

AlgoVecter's Products relate to trading-related software and are not intentionally marketed as children's services.

AlgoVecter does not knowingly seek to collect children's personal information where doing so would be unlawful.

Where the processing of children's personal information requires consent, authorisation or another lawful basis under applicable law, AlgoVecter will apply the relevant legal requirements.

🤖 38. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

AlgoVecter may use automated technical processes for matters such as:

• website security;

• fraud screening;

• payment-risk assessment; and

• anti-abuse systems.

Some payment or fraud-prevention decisions may be made independently by third-party service providers.

Where applicable law provides rights concerning a legally significant decision based solely on automated processing, AlgoVecter will respect those rights where applicable to AlgoVecter's processing.

🔗 39. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

AlgoVecter may link to websites operated by third parties.

Third-party websites have their own:

• privacy policies;

• cookie policies;

• terms;

• security procedures; and

• data-processing practices.

AlgoVecter does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.

Users should review the applicable third-party privacy notices before providing personal information to them.

🔌 40. THIRD-PARTY TRADING SERVICES

AlgoVecter Products may be used with independent services such as:

• trading platforms;

• brokers;

• VPS services;

• proprietary trading firms; and

• other third-party technology.

These providers independently determine how they process information collected through their own services.

AlgoVecter's Privacy Policy does not govern information independently collected by those providers.

📱 41. SOCIAL MEDIA

Where AlgoVecter maintains profiles or advertising campaigns on third-party social-media platforms, information processed by those platforms is also subject to their own privacy policies.

Interactions such as:

• likes;

• shares;

• comments;

• messages;

• advertising interactions; and

• account engagement

may therefore involve processing by the applicable social-media company.

👤 42. PRIVACY REQUESTS

You may contact AlgoVecter to exercise an applicable privacy right.

Your request should include enough information for us to:

• understand your request;

• identify the information concerned; and

• reasonably verify your identity.

We will not intentionally request more personal information than reasonably necessary to verify and process the request.

🪪 43. IDENTITY VERIFICATION

To protect customer information from unauthorised disclosure, AlgoVecter may need to verify the identity of a person making an access, correction or deletion request.

Verification requirements will depend on the sensitivity of the information and the nature of the request.

🗑️ 44. DELETION REQUESTS

Where a valid right to deletion applies, AlgoVecter may delete qualifying personal information.

Certain information may nevertheless need to be retained where necessary or permitted for:

• legal compliance;

• transaction records;

• taxation;

• accounting;

• fraud prevention;

• disputes;

• security;

• enforcement of legal rights; or

• other lawful purposes.

A request to delete personal information therefore does not necessarily require deletion of every record associated with an individual.

✏️ 45. CORRECTING PERSONAL INFORMATION

Customers should maintain accurate account information.

Where applicable, you may update information from your account or contact AlgoVecter to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.

🚫 46. RIGHT TO OBJECT

Where applicable law provides a right to object to particular processing, you may submit an objection to AlgoVecter.

We will assess the request according to the applicable legal requirements.

You may object to qualifying direct marketing at any time.

📤 47. DATA PORTABILITY

Where applicable law provides a right to data portability, qualifying users may request applicable personal information in an appropriate machine-readable format, subject to statutory requirements and limitations.

📩 48. PRIVACY COMPLAINTS

If you believe AlgoVecter has processed your personal information improperly, please contact AlgoVecter so that the matter can be investigated.

Where applicable law gives you the right to complain directly to a privacy regulator or supervisory authority, nothing in this Policy removes that right.

🇿🇦 49. SOUTH AFRICAN INFORMATION REGULATOR

Individuals may have the right to submit qualifying complaints concerning the processing of personal information to the Information Regulator (South Africa).

The current contact and complaint-submission details of the Information Regulator should be obtained from its official website.

📝 50. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

AlgoVecter may update this Privacy & Cookie Policy when reasonably necessary to reflect changes in:

• law;

• regulation;

• website functionality;

• Products;

• service providers;

• cookies;

• analytics;

• security practices; or

• business operations.

The updated Policy will display a revised Last Updated date.

Where legally required, AlgoVecter may provide additional notice or request new consent concerning material changes.

AlgoVecter is operated from the Republic of South Africa.

Our primary South African privacy framework includes, where applicable:

🇿🇦 Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA)
