Privacy policy
This policy explains what personal data ForexTradeAfrica collects when you use forextradeafrica.com, why we collect it and the choices you have. We collect as little as we can: there are no user accounts, no forms that store your data and no paid advertising trackers.
Data we collect
- Usage data: pages viewed, referring website, device and browser type, approximate country and time of visit, collected by our analytics service to understand which guides are useful.
- Server logs: IP address, user agent and requested URL, kept by our hosting provider for security and troubleshooting.
- Email: if you write to us, we receive your email address and anything you include in your message.
How we use it
We do not sell personal data and we do not use it for automated decisions about you.
- To measure traffic and improve our guides.
- To keep the website secure and working.
- To reply to corrections, questions and partnership enquiries.
Brokers and other third parties
When you follow a link to a broker or another website, that site's own privacy policy applies. Brokers collect identity documents and payment data when you register — we never see or receive those documents.
Broker partner programmes may tell us that a registration came through our link, usually as an anonymous or pseudonymous referral record, so that commissions can be calculated.
Retention
Analytics data is kept in aggregated form for as long as it is useful for planning content. Server logs are kept for a limited period set by our hosting provider. Emails are kept for as long as needed to handle your message and any follow-up.
Your rights in Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya
Depending on where you live, the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019 give you rights to access, correct and delete your personal data, to object to processing and to complain to a regulator.
To exercise these rights, email [email protected]. You can also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, the Information Regulator (South Africa) or the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (Kenya). Visitors from other countries have equivalent rights under their local law.
Children
This website is intended for adults. Trading leveraged products is for people aged 18 or over, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle personal data, we will update this page and the date at the top.
