1.3    This statement outlines ATFX’s privacy policy and explains how ATFX ensures all personal information collected by it remains confidential and how it respects each individual’s privacy and safeguards it at all times. By opening an account or by using the Website, clients give their consent to the collection and use of personal information by ATFX as explained in this privacy statement.

Information collected includes personal names, physical and email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, occupation, passport and other identification details, and personal financial information including annual income and approximate net worth to assess a client’s financial positions. In addition, ATFX may collect other information in order to better assess client’s particular interests etc. for customising websites and general marketing purposes.

3. Our Affiliates and Partners

3.1 ATFX may at times enter into partnerships and alliances which may include joint marketing and affiliate agreements with other companies who offer products and services that might be of value to ATFX’s clients. ATFX may share information with such partners and affiliates if the information is required to provide the product or service a client has requested; or to provide a client the opportunity to participate in the products or services the partner or affiliates offer; and in order to ensure that such products and services meet a client’s needs and are delivered in a manner that is useful and relevant. The use of a client’s personal information is limited to the purposes identified in ATFX’s relationship with the partner or affiliate.

4. Using Your Information to Help in the Prevention of and Including Terrorism and Crime

4.1 Where we are required by law, your personal information may also be disclosed to an applicable governmental, regulatory or enforcement authority. These authorities may then use your personal information to investigate and act on any breach of law or regulatory rules in accordance with their procedures.

5. Third Parties and Transfers of Personal Data

5.1    ATFX does not sell, license, lease or otherwise disclose any client’s personal information to any third party for any reason, except in the following circumstances:
5.1.1 where required by regulatory, law enforcement or other government authorities;

5.1.2 when necessary to protect ATFX’s rights or property;

6.1 All information that clients provide to ATFX is stored on secure servers. Payment transactions are encrypted using SSL technology.

7.1 If at any time any client chooses to purchase a product or service offered by another company, any personal information the client shares with that company will no longer be controlled under this Company’s privacy policy. ATFX is not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of sites that its Website links to and has no control over the use or protection of information provided by clients or collected by those sites. Whenever a client elects to link to a co-branded or linked website, the client may be asked to provide registration or other information and such information will be going to a third party and the client should therefore first become familiar with the privacy policy of that third party.

8. Marketing

8.1 ATFX may use client data in order to provide information about products and services which could be of interest and Company staff or agents may contact a client about them by email, telephone and post. In order to prevent information being used in this manner, clients should tick the relevant boxes when being asked for their marketing preferences. These set preferences can be changed at any time by contacting ATFX. An opt-out election made by one account owner of a joint account is applicable to all account owners of the joint account.
