Privacy Policy

OUR PRIVACY COMMITMENT

We are committed to being open and transparent about how we manage your personal information.

Our Privacy Policy aims to communicate, in the clearest way possible, how we treat your personal information. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully. It will help you make informed decisions about sharing your personal information with us.

At Technicapital we have a few fundamental principles:

We will always collect, store, use and disclose personal information in accordance with all applicable privacy laws. However, we have also put in place this Privacy Policy to protect personal information you submit or we collect.
We will only use your personal information when it is necessary for us to deliver you our services or perform other necessary business functions and activities.
We will not use or disclose your personal information for purposes unrelated to our business activities and the services we provide, unless we first obtain your consent.

This Privacy Policy sets out how we comply with our privacy obligations under applicable laws.

We are bound by the requirements of those laws, which regulate how we may collect, store, use and disclose your personal information. Those laws also specify other requirements, such as how individuals may access, correct and delete information held about them.

When we say “personal information” we mean identifiable information about you, such as your name, email, address, telephone number, work experience, qualifications and so on.

In this Privacy Policy “we”, “us” and “our” and “Technicapital” collectively refers to Technicapital Limited and its related companies and affiliates.

Technicapital, through its mobile App provides users with intuitive infographics and historical financial markets data (“Services”). Our App relies on the collection of personal information that is submitted by you, or with your authority, to enable us to provide you with our Services.

Your continued use of our Services following notification of any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree with any aspect of the updated Privacy Policy, you must immediately cease all use of our Services.

IN WHAT VERY LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES MIGHT WE DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Your personal information will not be sold, traded rented or otherwise provided to others without your consent.

We will only disclose your personal information outside Technicapital and its related companies if it is necessary and appropriate to facilitate the purpose for which your personal information was collected pursuant to this Privacy Policy, including the provision of the Services, or a directly related purpose.

We will not otherwise disclose your personal information unless we believe on reasonable grounds that you have provided your authorisation. However, you should be aware that we may be required to disclose your personal information without your consent in order to comply with any court orders, subpoenas or other legal process or investigation including by tax authorities, if such disclosure is permitted or required by law.
