Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 15 July 2026

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using the Website. This Privacy Policy explains how Safegate Advisors SRL collects, uses, stores, shares, protects, and otherwise processes personal data when you use our Website, broker reviews, broker comparison tools, broker matching questionnaires, safety alerts, newsletters, user feedback features, contact forms, and any other services made available through the Website.

Safegate Advisors SRL operates the website available at https://www.safegateadvisors.com/ and related pages, tools, forms, content, broker reviews, broker comparisons, safety scores, alerts, questionnaires, newsletters, and digital services.

Safegate Advisors provides digital tools, research, educational content, broker reviews, broker comparisons, broker safety checks, broker monitoring, risk alerts, and general information designed to help users better understand and evaluate financial brokers and trading-service providers.

This Privacy Policy applies when you visit the Website, create an account, submit a contact form, subscribe to safety alerts or newsletters, use broker matching or broker safety tools, save broker comparisons, submit reviews or complaints, interact with our content, communicate with us, or otherwise use our services.

Safegate Advisors is not a broker, dealer, investment firm, investment adviser, payment institution, custodian, asset manager, tax adviser, legal adviser, or accounting adviser. We do not accept deposits, hold client money, execute trades, manage portfolios, or provide individualized investment advice. Any broker, trading, investment, deposit, withdrawal, or account-opening decision is made solely by you.

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), Safegate Advisors SRL is the controller of the personal data described in this Privacy Policy, unless a specific notice states otherwise.

Depending on how you use the Website, we may collect the categories of personal data described below.

3.1 Personal data you provide directly

• Account and profile data, such as name, email address, username, password or authentication data, country, language, preferences, saved brokers, watchlists, alert settings, and account settings.
• Contact and support data, such as the information you submit through contact forms, support requests, emails, feedback forms, business inquiries, partnership inquiries, complaint forms, or other communications.
• Broker matching and preference data, such as trading experience, asset classes of interest, trading frequency, planned initial deposit range, approximate budget, fee priorities, platform preferences, broker interests, country of residence, and other answers you provide in our questionnaires or tools.
• User-generated content, such as broker reviews, ratings, complaints, comments, opinions, forum posts, feedback, broker experiences, uploaded text, attachments, or other materials you choose to submit.
• Newsletter and alert data, such as email address, name, subscription preferences, marketing preferences, safety alert preferences, and unsubscribe preferences.
• Business and professional contact data, such as company name, job title, professional role, industry, phone number, website, country, and business inquiry details if you contact us for partnerships, advertising, media, or business purposes.
• Payment and billing data, if paid services are introduced, such as billing name, billing address, VAT/tax details, invoice details, transaction identifiers, payment status, and related records. We do not intend to store full payment card details; such data should be processed by third-party payment processors.

3.2 Personal data collected automatically

• Technical data, such as IP address, device identifiers, browser type and version, operating system, device type, language settings, time zone, approximate location, referral URL, pages viewed, clickstream data, date/time stamps, and error logs.
• Usage data, such as pages visited, broker tools used, searches performed, broker profiles viewed, saved comparisons, interactions with questionnaires, scroll position, clicks, session duration, referral source, campaign source, and other interaction events.
• Cookie and tracker data, such as cookie identifiers, consent preferences, analytics identifiers, advertising identifiers, affiliate click identifiers, conversion identifiers, and similar technologies used for functionality, analytics, security, advertising, or affiliate tracking.
• Security data, such as login attempts, suspicious activity indicators, bot detection signals, abuse reports, blocked requests, device logs, and information necessary to protect the Website and users.

3.3 Personal data from third parties and public sources

• Publicly available information from regulators, broker websites, company registers, public warning lists, public enforcement actions, public complaints, public reviews, and public online sources used for broker research and safety monitoring.
• Information from service providers, such as analytics providers, hosting providers, email delivery providers, fraud-prevention providers, affiliate networks, advertising partners, customer-support tools, consent-management tools, and payment processors.
• Information from social login providers or external platforms, if we introduce social login or integrations, such as name, email address, profile picture, account identifier, and authentication status, subject to your settings with that provider.
• Information from broker partners or affiliate networks, such as click identifiers, referral source, conversion status, account-opening status, or aggregated performance reports, where permitted by law and contract.

3.4 Sensitive data and financial credentials

We do not intentionally request or require special categories of personal data, such as health information, biometric data, religious beliefs, political opinions, trade union membership, or similar sensitive data. We also do not request broker login credentials, trading account passwords, full bank account credentials, full card details, government identification documents, or copies of payment cards through public review or contact features.

Please do not include sensitive personal data, full account numbers, passwords, identification documents, private financial documents, or confidential third-party information in reviews, comments, complaints, attachments, or messages unless we specifically request such information through a secure channel for a lawful and clearly explained purpose. If such information is submitted unnecessarily, we may delete, redact, or restrict it.

• Directly from you, when you complete forms, questionnaires, account registration, newsletter subscriptions, alert subscriptions, reviews, complaints, comments, emails, or other interactions.
• Automatically, when you browse the Website, interact with content, use tools, click affiliate links, manage cookie preferences, or use account features.
• From third-party services, where they support the Website, analytics, hosting, advertising, affiliate tracking, email delivery, security, payments, customer support, authentication, or similar functions.
• From public sources and regulatory sources, where we collect and analyze broker-related information for research, monitoring, scoring, alerts, and safety checks.

We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis under applicable data protection law. The main purposes and legal bases are summarized below.

6.1 Website operation, hosting and technical delivery

We process technical and usage data to load pages, route traffic, maintain sessions, remember preferences, display content, prevent service disruption, and operate the Website securely. This may involve hosting providers, content delivery networks, infrastructure providers, security providers, and development tools.

6.2 Contact forms and communications

When you contact us, we process the information you provide to respond to your inquiry, handle requests, manage business communications, resolve complaints, and maintain records of our correspondence. We may use email, customer-support, CRM, ticketing, or productivity providers for these purposes.

6.3 Accounts, saved brokers and user preferences

If account features are available, we process account data to register you, authenticate you, manage access, store saved broker lists, maintain watchlists, remember alert settings, and personalize the Website experience. You are responsible for keeping your account details accurate and confidential.

6.4 Broker matching, questionnaires and tools

When you use broker matching, broker comparison, broker safety checks, or similar tools, we process the answers and preferences you provide, such as experience level, asset classes, trading frequency, planned deposit range, platform preferences, fee priorities, country, and other criteria. We use this information to generate informational outputs, suggested broker matches, safety reports, rankings, comparisons, and related explanations.

6.5 Safety alerts, newsletters and marketing communications

If you subscribe to safety alerts, newsletters, broker monitoring updates, educational content, or marketing communications, we process your contact details and preferences to send the requested messages. You can unsubscribe from non-essential marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us.

6.6 Broker reviews, user feedback and complaints

If you submit a broker review, comment, complaint, rating, broker experience, or other user-generated content, we process the content and related metadata to publish, moderate, verify, investigate, respond to, aggregate, analyze, and protect the integrity of our review and complaint systems. Public submissions may be visible to other users and search engines unless a specific feature indicates otherwise.

6.7 Analytics, product improvement and research

We may use analytics and performance tools to understand how users interact with the Website, which broker tools are useful, where users encounter errors, and how our content and methodology can be improved. Where required by law, non-essential analytics cookies and trackers are used only with your consent.

6.8 Advertising, affiliate tracking and commercial partnerships

Safegate Advisors may receive compensation from brokers, advertisers, affiliate partners, affiliate networks, or other third-party providers when users click links, visit third-party websites, open accounts, subscribe, or complete qualifying actions. To measure these actions, we may process referral URLs, click identifiers, affiliate identifiers, conversion signals, cookie IDs, device data, and limited usage data. Where required by law, advertising and affiliate tracking will be subject to your consent through the cookie banner or Cookie Settings page.

6.9 Payments and paid services, if introduced

If Safegate Advisors introduces paid services, such as premium reports, consultations, subscriptions, advanced alerts, professional tools, data access, or business services, we may process billing details, payment status, transaction identifiers, invoices, refund requests, booking details, and related communications. Full card details should be processed by payment processors, not stored by Safegate Advisors.

6.10 Security, abuse prevention and legal protection

We process technical, account, communication, and security data to detect, prevent, investigate, and respond to fraud, spam, bots, false reviews, abusive behavior, unauthorized access, scraping, malware, security incidents, legal claims, regulatory requests, and violations of our Terms of Service.

6.11 AI-assisted processing

Safegate Advisors may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, or data-processing tools to assist with content creation, translation, moderation, broker analysis, review summarization, data classification, alert generation, fraud detection, support triage, or user-facing tools. We take reasonable steps to supervise and improve such systems, but AI-assisted outputs may contain errors and should be independently verified where important.

Safegate Advisors may use your questionnaire answers, preferences, Website interactions, saved brokers, and alert settings to personalize informational outputs, such as broker matches, broker rankings, safety alerts, comparison lists, watchlists, and educational recommendations.

This may involve profiling within the meaning of GDPR, because our systems may evaluate preferences or behavior to generate a more relevant result. The profiling is designed to improve informational relevance and does not constitute investment advice, a financial recommendation, credit scoring, broker account approval, or a decision producing legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.

You may choose not to provide optional questionnaire answers, may delete saved preferences where account tools allow, and may contact us to object to profiling based on legitimate interests where applicable. If you object, some personalized features may not function properly.

User-generated content may include broker reviews, comments, complaints, ratings, feedback, forum posts, questions, answers, uploaded text, and other materials submitted by users.

• Public content: if a feature is public, your submitted content, display name, rating, broker name, submission date, and other public fields may be visible to other users and may be indexed by search engines.
• Moderation: we may review, edit, redact, reject, remove, restrict, or investigate user-generated content to enforce our Terms, protect users, prevent fraud, or comply with law.
• Confidentiality: do not include confidential broker account details, passwords, full financial account numbers, private documents, government ID documents, or personal data of third parties unless expressly required and transmitted through an appropriate channel.
• Evidence and legal claims: where a complaint or review raises fraud, abuse, regulatory, legal, or safety issues, we may retain relevant records for a longer period if needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims or cooperate with authorities.

The Website may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, SDKs, server logs, and similar technologies. These technologies may be set by Safegate Advisors or by third-party providers acting on our behalf or independently.

You can manage non-essential cookies through the Website's Cookie Settings page or consent banner where available. You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect Website functionality, saved preferences, broker matching features, analytics quality, or affiliate attribution.

We do not sell your personal data as a broker would sell a client list, and we do not provide brokers with your private questionnaire answers unless you ask us to do so, consent to such sharing, or a specific feature clearly states that sharing will occur. However, privacy laws in some jurisdictions may define certain advertising, analytics, or affiliate tracking as a "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising." Where such laws apply, we provide applicable choices through consent tools or privacy request channels.

We may share personal data with the following categories of recipients, only where lawful and necessary:

• Service providers and processors: hosting providers, infrastructure providers, analytics providers, consent-management tools, email delivery providers, CRM/support tools, payment processors, security providers, anti-spam providers, translation tools, productivity tools, and similar vendors.
• Affiliate networks, advertising partners and broker partners: limited click, referral, conversion, and attribution data where required to operate affiliate links, advertising, and disclosed commercial relationships.
• Professional advisers: lawyers, accountants, auditors, insurers, consultants, and compliance advisers.
• Public authorities and courts: regulators, supervisory authorities, law enforcement, courts, tax authorities, or other public bodies where required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights and safety.
• Business transfers: prospective or actual buyers, successors, investors, or merged entities in connection with a reorganization, merger, acquisition, financing, sale of assets, insolvency, or similar transaction.
• Other users or the public: if you submit public reviews, comments, ratings, or other public content.
• With your consent or direction: where you instruct us to share information or use an integration that requires sharing.

Safegate Advisors is established in Romania. Personal data may be processed in Romania, the European Economic Area, and other countries where our service providers, partners, or infrastructure are located.

Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area or another jurisdiction that requires transfer safeguards, we use appropriate lawful mechanisms where required, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, contractual commitments, supplementary safeguards, or other permitted transfer mechanisms.

You may contact us to request information about the safeguards used for relevant international transfers.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, necessary for security, required for tax/accounting records, or needed for legal claims. Actual retention may differ depending on the feature, applicable law, user settings, and technical constraints.

Where possible, we anonymize or aggregate data so it can no longer identify you, in which case it may be used for research, statistics, service improvement, and methodology development without further notice.

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, and destruction. Measures may include access controls, encryption where appropriate, logging, backups, vendor due diligence, confidentiality commitments, security monitoring, and internal procedures.

No internet transmission, website, system, or storage method is completely secure. You are responsible for protecting your account credentials and using a secure device and network. If you believe your account or personal data has been compromised, contact us immediately at privacy@safegateadvisors.com or office@safegateadvisors.com.

If GDPR applies, you may have the following rights, subject to legal limits and verification of your identity:

• Right of access: to obtain confirmation whether we process your personal data and to receive a copy of relevant personal data.
• Right to rectification: to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Right to erasure: to request deletion of personal data where applicable.
• Right to restriction: to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances.
• Right to data portability: to receive certain personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller where applicable.
• Right to object: to object to processing based on legitimate interests or public interest grounds, including profiling based on those grounds.
• Right to object to direct marketing: to object to direct marketing at any time, including related profiling.
• Right to withdraw consent: where processing is based on consent, to withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing before withdrawal.
• Right not to be subject to certain automated decisions: to not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal or similarly significant effects, except where permitted by law.
• Right to lodge a complaint: to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.

In Romania, the competent supervisory authority is the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (Autoritatea Nationala de Supraveghere a Prelucrarii Datelor cu Caracter Personal - ANSPDCP), available at https://www.dataprotection.ro/.

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, brokers, exchanges, financial-service providers, regulators, advertisers, partners, social media pages, payment providers, analytics providers, or other external resources.

Safegate Advisors is not responsible for the privacy, security, content, terms, policies, services, fees, account decisions, deposits, withdrawals, execution, customer support, regulatory status, or conduct of any third-party broker or provider. You should read the privacy policy and terms of any third party before providing personal data or using its services.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Website, services, technologies, vendors, legal requirements, business model, or data-processing practices. The updated version will be posted on the Website with a revised effective date or "last updated" date.

Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent for material changes. Your continued use of the Website after the updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means that you have read the updated policy.
