This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) explains what personal data we collect, how we use and share it, how long we keep it and what rights you have. How we use cookies and similar technologies is explained in our Cookie Policy, which forms part of this Policy.

Capitalised terms not defined in this Policy have the meaning given to them in our Terms and Conditions.

Notice to users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom: please also read the section Additional information for users in Europe below.

Who is the controller of your personal data?

The controller of your personal data is Advanced Evaluation Firm LLC, a limited liability company with its registered office at 1209 Mountain Road Pl NE, Ste N, Albuquerque, NM 87110, United States (“we”, “us”, “our” or “FTT Funded”).

You can contact us about this Policy or about the processing of your personal data at privacy@fttfunded.com or by post at the address above.

What personal data do we collect?

Data you provide to us

Identification and contact data, such as your first and last name, email address, phone number, postal address, country of residence and date of birth.
Account data, such as your username, password and account settings in the Client Area.
Identity verification (KYC) data, such as a photograph of a government-issued identity document (national ID card, passport or driving licence), proof of address, a selfie or liveness check, and the results of sanctions and fraud screening.
Payment and payout data, such as billing details, the payment method used, transaction history, and the bank account, wallet or other details needed to send you a Payout. Card details are collected and processed directly by our payment providers; we do not store full card numbers.
Tax and business data, where you act as an entrepreneur or where it is needed for a Payout, such as your tax identification or business registration number.
Communications data, such as the content of your emails, live chat conversations, support tickets, survey answers and messages you send us through social networks.
Affiliate data, if you join our affiliate programme, such as your affiliate code, the visits and purchases attributed to you, and your payout details.

Data we collect automatically

Device data, such as your IP address, device type, operating system, browser, language settings and approximate location derived from your IP address.
Usage data, such as the pages you visit, the date, time and duration of your visits, the website or advertisement that referred you (including campaign and affiliate parameters), the links and buttons you click and your login and logout activity.
Simulated Trading data, such as the simulated trades you open on the Trading Platform, your account balance and equity, your trading statistics and the trading strategies you use.

Some of this data is collected through cookies and similar technologies. See our Cookie Policy for details.

Data we receive from third parties

Trading Platform providers, which send us data about your simulated trades.
Identity verification and fraud prevention providers, which send us the result of your verification and screening.
Payment providers, which confirm your payments and payouts and may flag suspected fraud.
Affiliates and advertising partners, which tell us that you arrived through their link or advertisement.
Social networks, when you contact us or interact with our pages there.

We do not ask for, and ask you not to send us, special categories of personal data (such as data about your health, religion, political opinions or ethnic origin), other than the biometric comparison that may form part of identity verification as described above.

How do we use your personal data?

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

To provide the Services: to create and manage your account, process your Orders, give you access to the Trading Platform, evaluate your FTT Funded Challenge, provide a Funded Account and process Payouts.
To verify your identity and eligibility: to carry out KYC checks, confirm that you are at least 18 years old and do not reside in a Restricted Jurisdiction, and screen against sanctions lists.
To keep the Services secure and prevent abuse: to detect and prevent fraud, multiple accounts, Forbidden Trading Practices and other breaches of our Terms and Conditions, including by analysing Simulated Trading data, devices and payment details.
To communicate with you: to answer your questions through email and live chat and to send you service messages such as Order confirmations, security alerts and changes to our terms.
To send you marketing: to tell you about our products, promotions and events by email or other channels. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in each message or by contacting us.
To measure and improve the Services: to understand how visitors use our website and Client Area, fix problems and develop new features.
To advertise: to measure how our advertising performs and to show our advertisements to people who are likely to be interested in them, including on social networks.
To attribute affiliate referrals: to identify which affiliate referred you and to calculate affiliate commissions.
To comply with the law and protect our rights: to keep accounting and tax records, respond to lawful requests from public authorities, and establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
To create anonymised data: we may create aggregated or anonymised data, including anonymised Simulated Trading information as described in Clause 15 of our Terms and Conditions, and use it for any lawful purpose. We do not attempt to re-identify anonymised data.

We may use automated tools, including tools based on artificial intelligence, to assist with customer support and to detect Forbidden Trading Practices and fraud. Where such a tool leads to a decision with significant effects on you, such as the termination of an account, the decision is reviewed by a member of our team, and you can contest it by contacting us.

We do not sell your personal data for money. We share it only as described below:

Service providers that process data on our behalf, such as hosting and infrastructure (Vercel), web and product analytics (PostHog), live chat (Chatwoot), email delivery, customer support and IT providers. They may only use your data to provide services to us.
Trading Platform providers (cTrader and MetaTrader), so that you can perform Simulated Trading.
Identity verification and fraud prevention providers, to carry out KYC and sanctions checks.
Payment and payout providers, banks and other financial institutions, to process payments, refunds and Payouts.
Advertising partners, such as Meta Platforms, which receive data about your visits and actions on our website through the Meta Pixel and the Conversions API, as described in our Cookie Policy. Meta uses this data in accordance with its own privacy policy.
Affiliates of our programme, which receive limited information about the visits and purchases attributed to their referral code (but not your identity documents or payment details).
Our corporate group, our affiliates and partners involved in providing the Services, including anonymised Simulated Trading information as described in our Terms and Conditions.
Professional advisers, such as lawyers, auditors and insurers.
Public authorities and others, where we are required by law or where it is necessary to protect our rights, our customers or the public.
Business transferees, in connection with an actual or proposed merger, acquisition, financing or sale of all or part of our business, or in the event of insolvency.
Anyone else with your consent or at your direction.

How long do we keep your personal data?

We keep personal data only for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this Policy, including to meet our legal, accounting and tax obligations, to resolve disputes and to prevent fraud. In particular:

Account, Order and Simulated Trading data are kept for as long as you have an account and for up to five (5) years after your last activity, so that we can handle claims and prevent abuse.
KYC and payment records are kept for as long as required by applicable anti-money-laundering, tax and accounting rules, which is usually five (5) to seven (7) years after the end of our relationship.
Marketing data is kept until you unsubscribe or object, after which we keep only the record of your opt-out.
Cookie and analytics data are kept for the periods set out in our Cookie Policy.

When we no longer need personal data, we delete or anonymise it. Where this is not immediately possible (for example, because the data is in backup archives), we store it securely and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.

How do we protect your personal data?

We use technical and organisational measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls and restricted access for our staff and service providers. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential.

International data transfers

We are based in the United States and our service providers may process personal data in the United States and other countries. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from, and less protective than, the laws of the country where you live. Where required, we put in place appropriate safeguards for these transfers, as described in Additional information for users in Europe.

Your choices

Account information: you can review and update certain account information in the Client Area.
Marketing: you can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in each email or by contacting us. You will continue to receive service messages.
Cookies and advertising: you can control cookies and interest-based advertising as described in our Cookie Policy.
Do Not Track: some browsers send “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no common standard for these signals, we do not currently respond to them.
Declining to provide data: if you do not provide the data we need (for example, for KYC), we may not be able to provide certain Services, such as a Funded Account or a Payout.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

access the personal data we hold about you and receive a copy of it;
correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
delete your personal data;
restrict our processing of your personal data;
object to our processing of your personal data, including for direct marketing;
receive your personal data in a portable format and have it transferred to another controller;
withdraw your consent at any time, where we process your data based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal; and
lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in the country where you live or work.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@fttfunded.com. We will respond within the time limits required by applicable law, usually within one (1) month. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we may decline a request where the law allows us to (for example, where we must keep data to comply with a legal obligation). If we decline a request, we will tell you why.

Children

The Services are only available to individuals aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe that a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

Links to other websites

Our website and Services contain links to and integrations with websites and services operated by third parties, such as the Trading Platforms, social networks and payment providers. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the Client Area before they take effect, and we will update the date at the top of this Policy. The current version is always available on this page.

International transfers

Because we are based in the United States, your personal data will be processed in the United States and possibly in other countries outside Europe. Where we transfer personal data to a country that is not covered by an adequacy decision of the European Commission or the UK Government, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (and the UK addendum to them), on the recipient’s certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where applicable, or, in limited cases, on an exception permitted by the GDPR. You can request more information about these safeguards by contacting us.
