This policy outlines the types of information FundSeeder Technologies, LLC ("FST"), collects about you and how that information is used. This policy may be revised from time to time, so please revisit this page often to remain fully informed of our policies. We endeavor to ensure the information we collect about you is protected and is accessed only by authorized individuals and organizations. Specifically, we attempt to protect the personally identifiable information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. Please be reminded, however, that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is ever 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. For more information about our steps to secure your information, please see our Security policy

What Information We Collect

When you browse the non-password protected portions of our website, you do so anonymously; no personally identifiable information is collected.

When you sign up to become a registered user of FST’s Platform we request that you provide to us your name, address and email address, as well as other information about your trading behavior, such as the techniques you might use and the instruments you might trade. You may also choose to supply trading information (how long you have been trading, trade statements, your backstory, etc.) and a profile description. Once you register with FST and sign in to our Platform, you are not anonymous to us. We use your information to provide services under the User Agreement, including to track, analyze and evaluate trading performance, either in isolation or in comparison to other traders. We may also use the information you provide to us to contact you, in limited circumstances identify you as a user to others (after your consent to do so), or provide services and insights that we believe may be useful to you. Our collection of this information is pursuant to our User Agreement and this Privacy Policy. We only collect personally identifiable information that is necessary for providing services under the User Agreement.

Additionally, when you use FST’s Platform, you add information regarding your trading activities including account numbers, whether you are regulated, a description of your trading strategy, strategy types, and other information. This information is used solely to provide services under the User Agreement.

You can always change the personal information you provide to us, including information in your profile.

Our website also permits you to voluntarily contact us via email our Contact Us form, our Request a Demo form, the support tab, and in other ways. Whenever you contact us, you will be providing us with your name, email address and any information you choose to include in your message. For example, you may choose to provide your mailing address or other information necessary or helpful for us to address your query or concern. This information is used to respond to your query or concern. This information may also be used by FST to contact you, identify you as a user or provide services and insights that we believe may be useful to you consistent with your query or concern.

While you use FST’s website, we gather information about what pages are clicked, how long each page is viewed and similar information that is then used to improve the website and individual pages. While you are logged on, this information is technically tied to your user id. However, the information collected is only used for tracking user statistics and for no other purpose.

The above is a full description of the types of information FST has collected about consumers in the past 12 months.

We may also use anonymized, aggregated data for our own purposes such as research, developing new products, or sharing with third-parties for our own purposes. Such information is not linked to any specific user, cannot be traced to any specific user, and cannot be utilized to identify any specific user.

FST may review a specific User’s data, however FST will not intentionally or knowingly, without a User’s consent, disclose an individual User’s market positions or commercially exploit an individual User’s market data other than on an anonymized, aggregated basis together with other User market data. FST, however, will disclose overall performance data on an anonymized basis.

How We Use the Information We Collect

We intend to use your personally identifiable information to provide our services to you, as well as to send you strictly service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our website is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email. Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature.

Your Rights With Respect to Your Information

You may have heard about the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") in Europe, the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") as well as other similar regulations and laws elsewhere. Such laws give people certain rights with respect to their personally identifiable information collected by us. Accordingly, FST recognizes and intends to comply with GDPR, CCPA and other laws, and provide those rights for all users, except as limited by applicable law. These rights include:

  • Right of Access - This includes your right to access the personally identifiable information we gather about you, and your right to obtain information about the sharing, storage, security and processing of that information.
  • Right to Correction - This is your right to request correction of your personally identifiable information.
  • Right to Erasure - This is your right to request, subject to certain limitations under applicable law, that your personally identifiable information be erased from our possession (also known as the "Right to be forgotten"). However, if applicable law requires us to comply with your request to delete such information, fulfillment of your request may prevent you from accessing and taking advantage of certain services offered by FST.
  • Right to Complain - You have the right to make a complaint regarding our handling of your personally identifiable information with the appropriate supervisory authority.
  • Right to Restrict Processing - This is your right to request restriction of how and why your personally identifiable information is used or processed.

  • Right to Portability - This is your right to receive the personally identifiable information we have about you and the right to transmit it to another party.
  • Right to not be subject to Automated Decision-Making - This is your right to object and prevent any decision that could have a legal, or similarly significant, effect on you from being made solely based on automated processes. This right is limited, however, if the decision is necessary for performance of any contract between you and us, is allowed by applicable law, or is based on your explicit consent.

Many of these rights can be exercised by signing in and directly updating your account information, or by making a request to FST by contacting us using any of the contact information located below Upon receiving a verifiable request – verified either by password authentication, two-factor authentication or other similar method – by a user to exercise these rights, FST intends to comply within a reasonable time, but in no event more than 30 days, unless we notify you otherwise in writing. If the request is uniquely burdensome or otherwise causes FST to incur significant costs, we reserve the right to request reimbursement, to the extent allowed by applicable law or regulation.

FST does not discriminate against in user, in terms of price, service, or otherwise, for exercising these rights. However, as noted above, the exercise of certain rights may prevent or limit your access to certain services as your personally identifiable information is necessary to provide those services.

If you have questions about exercising these rights, or need assistance, please contact us at the information located below

We also do not require or seek any "special categories" of information under GDPR including racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data, sexual orientation or health information.

Technical and Other Information

When you visit FST’s website, we may collect information through "cookies" or other similar Web tools to enhance the user experience. Cookies are small strings of text that are sent by our website to your browser on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies enable us to recognize you when you return to our website, to maintain your Web session while you browse throughout the website, as well as help us provide you with a better, more personalized experience. Our cookies are not tied to personally identifiable information. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but it is possible to change your browser setup so that it does not accept cookies. To learn more about cookies, including how to see which cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, please visit: www.allaboutcookies.org

When you are browsing our website, FST also automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, FST cookie information and the pages you request. We use this information to improve the functionality and usability of our services. Our log files are not tied to personally identifiable information.

A web beacon is a small transparent "GIF" image that is embedded in an HTML page or email used to track when the page or email has been viewed. A similar device may be used by which a product, service or functionality may send data to a server when a set of user-initiated events occur (such as after clicking a button on the Website or in an email). This device is similar to a cookie in that it tracks your visit and the data can only be read by the server that receives the data. It is different than a cookie in that it is not browser-based, may not function as an identification card and does not store any data on your computer. At this time, FST does not use web beacons.

When you visit a website, your browser automatically shares certain information, such as your IP address and other device information. Some of this information may also be sent to third-party content providers (for example: advertisers, website analytic companies, and others) that provide content on the website. Such sharing may allow the website and/or content providers to track you over time and across multiple websites. Today, many browsers offer Do Not Track plugins that allow you to express a preference that you not be tracked, and that tell websites that you visit, by sending an electronic beacon, this preference. At this time, our site does not respond to Do Not Track beacons sent by browser plugins, however FST does not track the website you came from before coming to our site or the website(s) you go to next.
