Operating, maintaining, and improving our website and services; responding to inquiries and providing requested information; sending administrative communications, such as updates to our policies or terms; analysing usage trends to improve the user experience; and protecting the security and integrity of our website and services.
We do not sell personal information to third parties for monetary consideration.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
Where required by applicable law, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases to process personal information: your consent, the necessity of processing to fulfil a request you have made, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interests in operating and improving our services, provided those interests are not outweighed by your rights and freedoms.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to distinguish you from other users, remember your preferences, and understand how our site is used. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser.
You can set your browser to refuse some or all browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of our website may become inaccessible or may not function properly.
5. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We may share information in the following circumstances: with service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, or communications tools; where required to comply with a legal obligation, court order, or governmental request; to protect the rights, property, or safety of Maple Capitex, our users, or others; and in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards.
We require third parties who process information on our behalf to implement appropriate safeguards and to use the information only for the purposes for which it was shared.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Criteria used to determine retention periods may include the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you, whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject, and whether retention is advisable in light of applicable statutes of limitation.
7. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, which may include the right to access the information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion of your information, object to or restrict certain processing activities, and request a copy of your information in a portable format.
To exercise any of these rights, please use the contact details provided on our website. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request.
9. International Data Transfers
If you access our website from outside the jurisdiction in which our servers or service providers are located, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country different from your own. Where such transfers occur, we aim to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with applicable data protection laws.
10. Children's Privacy
Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information.
