Beyond the practices outlined above, The Futures Desk and its partners may utilize and share Collected Information in ways described below. It's important to understand that we do not engage in the sale, rental, or unauthorized disclosure of Collected Information, except as expressly stated within this Privacy Notice or as mandated or permitted by applicable law.

We utilize your personal and other Collected Information primarily to fulfill the purposes for which it was gathered. This may include processing your requests, facilitating your use of the Services (encompassing simulated and funded trading, account activity), responding to inquiries, managing user-generated content, and presenting you with relevant information and opportunities at The Futures Desk. Your location data aids us in understanding our user base and tailoring service availability. User-generated content is handled as outlined in our Terms, potentially being shared with other users if applicable. Providing a telephone number allows us to contact you regarding service-related matters or address your feedback. We may also use Collected Information to keep you informed about changes to the Services, such as updates to this Privacy Notice or our Terms.

We may utilize Collected Information to customize the content and information we present to you, offer tailored assistance and guidance, and overall enhance your interactions with our Services.

Subject to applicable law and your expressed preferences, The Futures Desk may utilize Collected Information to send you promotional content about our company, products, and services. We will seek your explicit consent for such communications only when mandated by law. To enhance your experience, these communications may be personalized based on inferences drawn from your interactions with the Services, including visited pages and clicked links. You retain the right to opt out of promotional communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the email or by contacting us directly. Please note that even if you opt out of promotional content, you may still receive essential administrative communications regarding your use of the Services.

This is entirely optional and not required for using our Services. Standard messaging rates may apply. Even if you opt out of promotional messages, you'll still receive important administrative texts about your account or service usage.

Upon account registration or access to our Services, we share your information, including personal data, with licensed brokerages and other financial vendors necessary to provide your account and facilitate the Services. By providing your information and establishing an account, you authorize us to interact with and share your data, including personal information, with our licensed brokerages. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policies of any brokerage platform utilized in connection with our Services, as their policies govern their data handling practices. We have no control over these policies or terms, and therefore bear no responsibility for any use or disclosure of your information by such brokerages, which you engage with at your own risk.

Depending on your service usage and interactions with us, we may share your Collected Information, including personal data, with our affiliates, subsidiaries, and related companies. They may use this information for their own legitimate business purposes as permitted by law. Additionally, they may contact you directly about their products and services, subject to obtaining your prior consent where required by law. You can opt out of receiving communications from any of these entities by following their respective opt-out procedures. To opt out of communications from us, please contact us using the information provided under "Contact Us."

We may share Collected Information with our affiliates', subsidiaries', and related companies' suppliers, vendors, and service providers to the extent necessary to deliver the Services and our products to you, and to engage in permitted uses and sharing of Collected Information as outlined in this Privacy Notice and applicable law. These third parties may include, but are not limited to, website management and hosting providers, customer support solutions, mailing processors, cloud storage providers, website analytics providers, payment processors (if applicable), product installers, and email service providers. Our service providers are authorized to use and disclose Collected Information only to the extent necessary to fulfill their services to us, and in accordance with their own privacy policies and our agreements with them.

We may collaborate with unaffiliated, third-party businesses ("Third Party Businesses"). In the course of such relationships, we might share your personal information with these Third-Party Businesses for their independent use, which could be interpreted as a sale of data under applicable law.

We may utilize Collected Information to enhance and refine the content, materials, products, and services we offer. This includes analyzing user demographics and preferences to inform our marketing and communication strategies, assess the effectiveness of the Services, and tailor the content and user experience to better meet your needs.

We analyze both aggregated and individualized data on how users' access and utilize our Services. This allows us to gain valuable insights into which features and sections are most popular, enabling us to troubleshoot any problems effectively. We also gather statistical information, including identifying the geographic regions of our visitors and evaluating frequently asked questions, to further enhance your experience and optimize our service offerings.

We reserve the right to de-identify and/or aggregate personal information and user-generated content, as well as aggregate other Collected Information. This anonymized and/or aggregated data may be used and disclosed for our business purposes, always within the bounds of applicable law. Furthermore, we may combine such anonymized and/or aggregated data with other data we possess, again for purposes of use and disclosure as permitted by law.

We may use and share Collected Information in compliance with and in response to lawful requests from regulatory authorities, courts of competent jurisdiction, valid law enforcement inquiries, governmental agencies, emergency services, and other necessary third parties. This is done for legal, protection, security, and safety purposes, such as complying with laws or regulations, responding to subpoenas and legal processes, conducting credit checks, or protecting the safety of our employees, agents, customers, or any other person. We may also use and share Collected Information with third parties if we deem it necessary or appropriate to safeguard our rights or the rights of others. This includes enforcing our agreements, policies, and terms, taking legal action, protecting our operations and assets, or seeking remedies or mitigating damages that we may incur.

In the event of a change in control, acquisition, merger, reorganization, asset sale (whether partial or complete), or any similar transaction, we may transfer, sell, share, or otherwise disclose Collected Information to the new owner(s) or successor(s) involved in such transactions. We may also disclose Collected Information during the evaluation process of these transactions. The recipients of this information will be bound by the terms of this Privacy Notice as it pertains to the disclosed data. Additionally, if our company or any of its assets are acquired, or if we cease operations, enter bankruptcy, or undergo any other change in control or reorganization, Collected Information may be among the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.

While this Privacy Notice outlines our primary data practices, unforeseen circumstances or future developments may require us to use or share your personal and Collected Information in ways not explicitly described herein. In such instances, we will attempt to obtain your explicit consent before any such use or sharing. We value your privacy and trust and remain committed to transparent communication about our data handling practices.

In alignment with the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice for collecting your information, we may disclose specific categories of personal information to third parties for legitimate business or other operational needs. These categories encompass:

• Identifiers: This may include, but is not limited to, your name, telephone number, postal address, age, email address, or date of birth.
• Internet or other electronic network activity information: This encompasses data such as your computer and connection information, IP address, cookies, and other tracking technologies detailed earlier in this Notice.
• Inferences: We may also disclose inferences drawn from the aforementioned categories of personal information, which may include de-identified or aggregated data.

As articulated throughout this Privacy Notice, the permissible business purposes for such disclosures are varied and may include, without limitation, product and service fulfillment, payment processing, internal operations, evaluation and improvement of our Services, prevention of fraud and other harmful activities, and ensuring legal compliance.

Any such disclosures will adhere to the principles of data minimization and proportionality, and will be conducted in strict accordance with applicable privacy laws and regulations.

We may share the aforementioned categories of information with various third parties, including but not limited to:

• Our affiliates, subsidiaries, and related entities;
• Brokerages and other financial industry vendors;
• Third Party Businesses;
• Subsequent owner(s), successor(s), or assign(s) of The Futures Desk;
• Third-party service providers such as payment processors, data analytics and advertising providers, fraud prevention providers, cloud storage providers, IT service providers, delivery partners, and marketing companies; and
• Law Enforcement.

The Intern Desk, The Assessment Desk, and other simulated accounts offered by The Futures Desk provide users with the opportunity to practice trading in a risk-free, simulated market environment. The privacy practices outlined in this section, in conjunction with the rest of this Privacy Notice, apply to you if you maintain an account within any of these programs.

We will track data related to your simulated trades, including but not limited to the volume, types, value, returns, and patterns of success or failure. This information may be combined with simulated trade data from other users, and potentially with non-simulated trade data, as permissible under applicable law. By engaging in simulated trading, you acknowledge that The Futures Desk may collect, aggregate, and utilize information about your specific simulated trades, trading patterns, preferences, and other interests at its sole discretion. This data analysis aids in refining our services and providing a more tailored experience, always in compliance with applicable regulations.

We will analyze your simulated trading data (as described above) and other Collected Information associated with your account to assess your potential eligibility for additional TFD Services.

As outlined in the "How We Use and Share Collected Information" section of this Privacy Notice, The Futures Desk collects, aggregates, or de-identifies Collected Information, encompassing data related to you and your simulated trades, trading patterns, preferences, and other interests expressed while using our Services. The Futures Desk may share or disclose this anonymized and aggregated information with its business partners, affiliates, subsidiaries, related companies, users, customers, vendors, distributors, or other collaborators. They may use this information to inform their own trading activities, potentially including mirroring or counter-trading simulated trades in actual financial markets, or for any other lawful purpose. You acknowledge that such activities may be automated and that you are not entitled to any payment or compensation. The Futures Desk will ensure that anonymized and aggregated information remains in that form and will not be re-identified except as necessary to comply with legal requirements.

Based on your performance during your internship, or while trading for the desk, as a research analyst, or such other simulated accounts that The Futures Desk may offer from time to time—and at The Futures Desk's sole discretion—you may have an opportunity to get funded with trading capital via Evolved Capital LLC or to advance to another product or service offered by The Futures Desk. This section, in addition to the rest of this Privacy Notice, applies to you if you hold a funded account through our partnered brokerage services.

When you apply for live funded accounts or other funding opportunities through The Futures Desk LLC, in addition to the information outlined in this Privacy Notice, we may collect the following:

• Full Legal Name: Your complete legal name, including first, middle, and last names.

• Photographs: A photograph of yourself and images of your government-issued identification for verification purposes.
• Contact Information: This encompasses your telephone number, email address, physical mailing address, and country of residence.
• Additional Information: Any other information you willingly provide to The Futures Desk or Evolved Capital LLC during the registration or application process.

Beyond the uses detailed in the "How We Use and Share Your Information" section, the information we gather for funded opportunities may also be utilized for purposes such as:

Managing Trader Relationships - The Futures Desk LLC may process your personal information for the purpose of managing your trader relationship. This includes activities such as determining your eligibility for a funded brokerage account or contract, verifying your qualifications, identifying you, communicating with you, determining performance requirements, assessing your performance, gathering evidence for disciplinary actions (including termination of your live brokerage account), and conducting data analytics and other related statistics;

Timekeeping and Access - To verify your identity for timekeeping purposes; to facilitate your access to The Futures Desk Services, facilities and/or premises;

To provide and operate The Futures Desk's business processes, systems and business operations (e.g., work assignments, management of The Future Desk's property, and safety and protection of TFD employees and independent contractors, directors, owners, agents, assets, resources, properties and facilities); when The Futures Desk outsources some or all of its operations to third party service providers who provide services for The Futures Desk ; to third parties engaged by TFD and serving in an agency capacity to perform functions on behalf of The Futures Desk, the performance of legal and other professional services; to enforce or apply The Futures Desk's contract with you and any TFD policies and agreements; to support internal administration with our affiliates, subsidiaries and related companies;

The Futures Desk LLC may also monitor and record your overall performance (or specific details thereof) associated with your funded brokerage account or any other funded opportunities that The Futures Desk may offer you periodically. This tracking is essential for evaluating your progress and determining your eligibility for continued participation in such programs.

In certain jurisdictions, specific categories of personal information are considered particularly sensitive and may be afforded additional protections under applicable law. As previously mentioned in this Privacy Notice, we may collect and process sensitive personal information such as your Social Security Number, passport details, or other government identification information.

We collect and use this sensitive personal information solely for legitimate business purposes, including:

• Complying with our legal obligations under applicable laws and regulations.
• Fulfilling our contractual obligations with you and providing the services you have requested, as is reasonably expected within the context of our business relationship.
• Protecting our legitimate interests and ensuring the physical safety of ourselves and others.
• Meeting any other requirements mandated by law.
• For other specific purposes, but only with your explicit prior consent.

When you join a special "DESK" or "WATERCOOLER" group, your personal information—such as your first and last name, username, and location from which you are trading from (e.g., city, state, etc.), and other contract information (e.g., email)—will be shared with your teammates and your team's captain or captains.

As you interact with and utilize our Services, certain information may be automatically collected in the background through various technologies. This passive collection involves gathering different types of data using a range of methods, as further detailed below.

We gather information about how you engage with our Services, including the specific features you utilize, the links you click, your search queries, data pertaining to transactions conducted through the Services, your interactions with other users, performance metrics, and other general usage patterns.

The servers powering our Services may automatically collect information about you and your devices, including IP addresses, ISP details, device identifiers, MAC addresses, operating systems, screen resolutions, web browsers, visited pages, browsing history, time spent on the Services, timestamps, clickstream data, approximate location, performance statistics, and usage patterns. This data helps us administer the Services, generate statistical insights, analyze traffic and usage, detect and prevent fraud, investigate potential policy violations, and enhance the overall user experience.

We may integrate this information with other Collected Information (including personal information) and data acquired from third parties for the purposes of maintaining security and safeguarding our rights or the rights of others. Additionally, the service providers we engage to deliver the Services may collect information about your interactions with our Services and other websites. In some instances, this data collection may involve the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies, as further elaborated in the "Cookies and Tracking Technologies" section below.

Our Services utilize third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to gather and process data regarding your usage patterns, including the timing of your visits, the URLs of websites you accessed before and after visiting our Services, and the IP addresses associated with your internet-connected devices. These analytics providers may employ cookies to collect this information, which your web browser will automatically transmit to them. We utilize the reports generated by these analytics providers to enhance the structure and content of our Services.

For more information on how Google uses this data, visit Google's Privacy Notice and Google's page on How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps. To prevent this data from being used by Google Analytics, follow the instructions to download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each browser you use. Using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on will not prevent us from using other analytics tools and will not prevent data from being sent to the Service itself or to Google. For more information about how Google Analytics uses cookies to measure user interactions on websites, visit Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites. You may disable cookies as discussed below, but that may impact your use and enjoyment of the Service. You have the option to disable cookies through your browser settings, as explained below. However, please note that doing so may affect your overall experience and functionality while using our Services.

The Futures Desk may occasionally utilize or participate in advertising networks and related services managed by third-party entities such as advertising servers, agencies, technology vendors, and research firms. This may include platforms like Google Ads and Meta's advertising services.

These services collect information about your visits to and interactions with both our Services and other websites, utilizing this data to target advertisements for relevant goods and services, which may then be displayed on other websites. The collected information could potentially be linked to your personal information.

Advertising networks often gather data about users who view advertisements to infer their interests and preferences, allowing them to deliver advertisements tailored to those specific interests. This practice is commonly referred to as "online behavioral advertising." For instance, a third-party advertising network might collect information like your web browser type, operating system, visited website domains, specific pages visited on our Services and other sites, your internet service provider's location, visit dates and times, and other interactions you have with websites.

Through Google Ads, Google utilizes your internet search history, cookies, and similar identifiers (like pixel tags) to gather data about your visits to our Service and interactions with our offerings. This information is then used to generate targeted advertisements that may be displayed to you on other websites you visit across the internet.

We may also enable and utilize several Google Analytics Advertising Features on our Service. These include Remarketing with Analytics, which employs Google Analytics cookies to show you relevant ads based on your past visits; Demographics and Interest reporting, which uses a third-party cookie to gather data about our Service traffic and user demographics; Campaign Manager integration, allowing us to analyze and create remarketing lists using our Campaign Manager data within Google Analytics; Display & Video 360 integration, enabling us to create and utilize remarketing lists across both Google Analytics and Display & Video 360; GDN Impression Reporting, which helps us measure the impact of GDN Display ads even if they aren't clicked; and Segments, which allows us to isolate and analyze specific groups of Service users within our Google Analytics data.

To opt out of remarketing advertising provided through Google, to customize your ad preferences, or to limit Google's collection or use this information, visit Google's Safety Center and Google's Ad Settings and follow Google's personalized ad opt-out instructions. Opting out will not affect your use of the Service.

If you have a Meta account but do not wish for Meta to collect data relating to you via the Services, we suggest that you take the steps outlined below under "Social Media."

For certain Meta advertising services, Meta Ireland is a Joint Controller (as defined in the GDPR) and that information required under the GDPR related to such processing can be found at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy. We work with Meta and use their advertising services to measure and improve our ads and marketing efforts, as well as to display more relevant advertising to you. For further information on how Meta Ireland processes your personal information, including the legal basis, and the ways to exercise your rights, please visit https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy. If you have a Meta account but do not wish Meta to collect data relating to you via the Services, we suggest that you take the steps outlined below under "Social Media."

To change your preferences with respect to certain online ads and to obtain more information about third-party ad networks and online behavioral advertising, please visit the National Advertising Initiative Consumer opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Program. Please remember that changing your settings with individual web browsers or ad networks will not necessarily carry over to other browsers or ad networks. As a result, depending on the opt-outs you request, you may still see our ads from time to time. Your device may also include a feature ("Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS or "Opt Out of Interest-Based Ads" on Android) that allows you to opt out of having certain information collected through apps used for behavioral advertising purposes.

Our Services may incorporate widgets, tools, or applications provided by social media platforms, and may enable interaction, integration, or content sharing with these third-party platforms and companies. To facilitate such features, we may need to implement cookies, plug-ins, and APIs provided by these social media platforms. When you choose to utilize any third-party social media platform or share content or communications through it, you authorize us to share information with that specific platform. Interactions, integrations, and content sharing with a social media platform and its features may necessitate or permit the social media company to collect information from or about you, potentially through cookies, registration details, or other means. Social media companies may track your online activity even when you're not actively interacting with their platform, widgets, or features.

We strongly advise you to review the privacy policies of any social media platforms you use or access in connection with our Services, as their respective policies will govern how they collect, use, and disclose your information. We have no control over the policies or terms of these third-party platforms. Consequently, we cannot be held responsible for any use or disclosure of your information or content by these platforms, which you utilize at your own risk.

The Futures Desk may also utilize the advertising services and networks offered by social media platforms to deliver targeted advertising content. These services often require social media platforms to implement cookies or pixel tags to display ads to you while you are actively logged into their platform.

If you prefer that social media platforms not collect information about you through our Services or link information gathered via our Services to your social media accounts, we recommend taking the following steps:

• Refrain from connecting to or sharing information with social media platforms while using our Services.
• Utilize an ad blocker to hide social media platform plug-ins.
• Always log out completely from social media platforms before visiting our Services or other websites, and clear any related cookies.
• If available, disable the advertising services and networks operated by the social media platform within its settings.

Our Services utilize cookies to automatically monitor your usage patterns.

Cookies also help us recognize returning users, personalize the information displayed on the Services, and ultimately improve your overall experience and the Service's utility, for example, by remembering and presenting relevant information.

These Services may utilize both cookies that we directly implement, and cookies implemented by our service providers and other third parties. "First-party" cookies enable your browser to communicate directly with the website you are currently visiting, while "third-party" cookies allow your browser to interact with external websites, such as the source of an advertisement displayed on the site you're browsing or a third-party analytics service. Our service providers may use cookies and tracking technologies to monitor Service users across the internet, helping them understand how users arrive at our Services and facilitating the analytics purposes disclosed in this Privacy Notice. We do not have access to or control over these third-party cookies, and their use is not covered by this Privacy Notice. Click here for information on the cookies used by Meta.

Cookies can be categorized as either "session" cookies or "persistent" cookies. Session cookies are temporary and exist only while you are actively browsing the specific website. They are typically deleted or removed automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device for a predetermined period, such as six months or one year. Each time you revisit a website that has implemented a persistent cookie, that cookie will continue to function until its expiration date. You also have the option to manually delete persistent cookies, as explained earlier.

The specific types of information collected by a cookie and the subsequent use of that data depend on the cookie's specific type and function. To provide clarity, we've outlined below the different types of cookies we utilize, the information they gather, and the purposes for which this information is used. Please note that we may combine the data collected through cookies with other Collected Information to gain a more comprehensive understanding of your interactions with our Services.

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our Services. They enable core functionalities such as identifying unusual website behavior, preventing fraudulent activity, and enhancing security. They also allow users to utilize the full range of Service features. Without these cookies, certain features and services you request may not be available.

These cookies enhance your experience by providing additional functionality when you access or use our Services. They enable us to remember your choices, preferences, and settings, as well as track your interactions with content on the Services. This helps us personalize your experience and avoid repetitive prompts. Disabling these cookies may limit certain functions or features of the Services.

These cookies help us evaluate the performance of our Services and gain insights into how visitors use and interact with them. This includes tracking which pages are most popular and understanding user behavior patterns. We use this information to personalize content, remember your preferences, and continuously improve the functionality and user experience of our websites.

These cookies track your visits to the Services, the pages you view, and the links you click. They gather information about your browsing habits and remember that you've visited our websites. We and our third-party advertising partners may use this data to deliver more relevant content and advertisements tailored to your interests (often referred to as "behavioral" or "targeted" advertising). These cookies also help us limit the frequency of ad displays and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

These options may include rejecting cookies from specific websites, rejecting certain types of cookies regardless of the website, disabling or rejecting all cookies entirely, and/or deleting previously stored cookies. Some browsers even offer the ability to receive notifications whenever a website attempts to send a cookie to your browser.

While you have the freedom to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that doing so may impact your experience and functionality within our Services and on other websites. For instance, disabling cookies may prevent personalization of the Services, hinder the system from remembering your preferences or past choices, and potentially lead to the loss of stored information such as your name, contact details, or other data you've entered. Additionally, our website may no longer recognize the devices you use to access the Services.

It's important to note that changing your cookie preferences in one browser does not automatically apply to other browsers you may use. Therefore, you may need to adjust your preferences each time you acquire a new device, install a new browser, upgrade an existing browser, or modify or delete a browser's cookie file.

In addition to cookies, our Services may also employ other tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as clear GIFs), flash cookies, and pixels (also called pixel tags). Web beacons are small, invisible graphics with unique identifiers that function similarly to cookies but are embedded directly into web pages. Flash cookies collect and store data about your website usage and are often used for advertising and video content. Standard browser cookie management tools cannot remove or manage Flash cookies. For instructions on managing Flash cookies, please click here. Pixel tags can be embedded within websites or emails to track your interactions with those sites and monitor when emails are opened.

Due to the automatic collection of data using cookies as described above, we do not honor "do not track" requests. For this reason, your selection of the "Do Not Track" option provided by your browser may not have any effect on our collection of information using cookies and tracking technologies.

However, residents of certain U.S. states may opt out of certain activities (to the extent applicable) that are considering "selling" or "sharing" personal information for targeted advertising purposes by broadcasting an Opt-Out Preference Signal as defined under applicable law, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC), depending on which browsers and/or browser extensions you use that may support such a signal. To look at extensions and browsers supporting the GPC browser signal, visit here: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/. Note that if you choose to use the GPC signal, you will need to turn it on for each supported browser or browser extension you use.

Our Services may integrate content from third parties, including feeds, scripts embedded within the Service's code, and visible elements such as videos. In certain instances, these third parties may collect information about how you interact with their content. Additionally, the Services may incorporate features and content from Google Maps. Google Maps features and content is subject to the then-current versions of Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service at https://maps.google.com/help/terms_maps.html Google Privacy Policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

The Future Desk's services may use YouTube to make content in video format available to you. By accessing a part of the Services where videos are available, watching an embedded video, or otherwise interacting with any content made available through YouTube, you signify your agreement with YouTube's terms and conditions. YouTube collects and otherwise has access to usage data (e.g., what videos you accessed and watched) through videos embedded in the Services as further described in YouTube's Privacy Notice. YouTube adheres to Google's privacy policies and principles, part of which allow you to control certain privacy settings and which data are collected.

We may acquire data about users of our Services from a variety of third-party companies and publicly available sources, both online and offline. These sources may include marketing companies, analytics consultants, publicly accessible social media profiles, and other public repositories of information. We may then combine this data with the Collected Information we already possess. This practice allows us to enhance our understanding of our users and customers, improve our ability to communicate with you effectively, and tailor our marketing efforts to be more relevant and personalized.

We utilize cookies to enhance and personalize your browsing experience. You retain full control over your Cookie Consent, which can be modified or withdrawn at any time by utilizing the button below to adjust your Cookie preferences.

We will retain your personal information only for the duration necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice and our Terms of Service. However, we may retain your information for a longer period if required or permitted by applicable law, such as for tax, accounting, or other legal purposes.

In the event that we no longer have a legitimate business reason to process your personal information, we will take reasonable steps to either delete or anonymize it. Should immediate deletion or anonymization be impractical due to technical constraints, such as data stored in backup archives, we will implement appropriate security measures to safeguard your personal information and prevent any further processing until deletion is feasible.

Except as detailed in this Privacy Notice, we will not use automated processing to make decisions about you that could significantly impact you unless we have your clear permission.

Depending on your interactions with us, your personal information may be shared with, accessed by, or processed by us, other TFD entities, or our service providers, both within and outside your home jurisdiction (including the United States). This is done for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice, and may also be required to comply with lawful requests from authorities.

Please note that data protection laws in some of these jurisdictions, including the United States, may not be as comprehensive as those in your home country. However, we take steps to safeguard your personal information, including using legally required data processing agreements and data transfer mechanisms (such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses). If permitted by applicable law, you can request details about the methods we use to transfer your personal information across borders. To learn more, please reach out to us using the contact information below.

The purpose of this section is to inform you of the privacy options and rights afforded to you under applicable U.S. state laws and the laws of certain other jurisdictions.

If you have rights related to this Privacy Notice and the Collected Information, as stated above or granted by applicable law, you can submit a verifiable request to us by emailing support@TheFuturesDesk.com

Only you, or a registered agent authorized by you (if permitted by law), can make a verifiable consumer request regarding your personal information. We reserve the right to authenticate any registered agent's authority.

Your verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide enough information for us to reasonably verify your identity or that you are an authorized representative.
• Clearly describe your request so we can understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot fulfill your request or provide personal information if we can't verify your identity or authority, or confirm the information relates to you. You do not need to create an account to make a verifiable consumer request. We will only use the personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority.

We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law. If we deny your request, you can appeal the decision by emailing us at support@TheFuturesDesk.com.

The personal information you provide should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date, and relevant to the purposes for which it will be used.

We implement robust security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, misuse, and alteration. These include administrative, technical, physical, and organizational controls, such as limiting employee access to your data. We do not publicly disclose all our security measures as this could compromise their effectiveness.

While we train our employees on their data protection responsibilities, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. No method of storage or communication is completely secure.

If you become aware of any breach of the Services' security or of this Privacy Notice, please notify us at Support@TheFuturesDesk.com immediately. If our security system is breached, we will notify you of the breach only if and to the extent required under applicable law.
