Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how AJD Trades ("AJD Trades", "we", "us" or "our") collects, uses, shares and protects your personal information when you visit ajdtrades.com (the "Website"), submit an enquiry, or join our community. We are committed to handling your data lawfully, transparently and with care. Please also read our Cookies & tracking section below.
AJD Trades provides educational and informational content only. It is not financial advice. This Website and our community are intended for adults aged 18 or over.
01Who we are
AJD Trades runs this Website and our community. For the purposes of UK data protection law we are the "data controller" of your personal information, which means we are responsible for how it is collected and used.
If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, the easiest way to reach us is by email at hello@ajdtrades.com.
02Information we collect
We only collect what we need:
- Information you give us when you complete a form on the Website: your name, email address and phone number, and (for white-label enquiries) your company or community name, approximate audience size and any message you include.
- Technical and usage information collected automatically when you visit: IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, referring pages, and interactions with the site, gathered through cookies and similar technologies (including the Meta Pixel).
- Communications you send us, such as emails or messages.
We do not collect payment card details or trading-account credentials through this Website. Any trading account you open is held with a third-party broker (for example Vantage) under their own terms and privacy policy, and your capital stays in your own account with that broker.
03How and why we use your information
We use your personal information for the following purposes, relying on the legal bases shown:
04Marketing communications
If you submit an enquiry, we may add you to our email marketing audience and send you updates, education and offers relating to AJD Trades. You can opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or by contacting us. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew it.
05Cookies & tracking
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website and to understand and improve our marketing:
- Essential technologies needed for the site to function.
- Analytics and advertising, including the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, which helps us measure the performance of our adverts, understand which actions people take on the site, and reach relevant audiences. This may involve Meta setting cookies and receiving information about your visit.
You can control cookies through your browser settings and manage advertising preferences directly with Meta. Where required, we will ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies.
06Who we share your information with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers ("processors") who help us run the Website and our communications, and only as needed:
- Klaviyo — email marketing and audience management.
- Our CRM provider (HighLevel / LeadConnector) — storing and managing enquiries as leads.
- Netlify — website hosting and form processing.
- Meta Platforms — advertising measurement and audiences via the Meta Pixel.
We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transfer.
07International transfers
Some of our providers are based outside the UK, including in the United States. Where we transfer your personal information internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as UK "adequacy" decisions, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, or Standard Contractual Clauses, so that your data remains protected.
08How long we keep your information
We keep your personal information for as long as needed for the purposes set out above, for example while you remain part of our community or an active lead, and for a reasonable period afterwards to meet legal, accounting and dispute-resolution requirements. When it is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.
09Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you;
- have inaccurate or incomplete information corrected;
- have your information erased, in certain circumstances;
- object to, or ask us to restrict, certain processing;
- request portability of information you provided to us;
- withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@ajdtrades.com. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk, though we would appreciate the chance to resolve any concern first.
10Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information, including transmitting data over encrypted connections and limiting access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11Children
The Website and our community are intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
12Third-party links
The Website may link to third-party services such as our broker partner (Vantage) and Telegram. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those services; please review their own privacy policies.
13Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be reflected here.
14Contact us
For any questions, requests or concerns about this policy or your personal information, contact us at hello@ajdtrades.com.
