How FXContext handles personal data
This notice applies to the public FXContext website and direct correspondence with the independent publishing project. It will be updated if the operator, services or data practices change.
Who is responsible
The data user and project operator is Sam Lacroix, Forex Digital Publisher & Growth Architect. FXContext is currently a publishing project and is not presented as an incorporated company.
Privacy enquiries:alex@fxcontext.com.
Data we may receive
- Your name, work contact details, organisation and the contents of an email or other correspondence you choose to send.
- Broker assessment information submitted through the EOI form: name, role, business email, broker brand, legal entity, initial jurisdiction and answers about likely methodology route, requested starting deliverable and scope readiness, plus the required consent records. The first request does not accept file uploads. Please do not send client files, trading credentials, account statements or unnecessary personal data by another channel.
- Limited technical request and security data processed by our hosting and security provider when the website is accessed.
Optional audience analytics runs only after you accept it. Reader accounts and public broker reviews are not active. FXContext does not place invisible tracking pixels in pilot emails.
Why we use it
We use personal data to answer enquiries, assess whether a written broker assessment or profile proposal is feasible, check and correct published information, protect the website, keep necessary correspondence records and meet applicable legal obligations. Depending on the context, processing is based on your request or consent, steps requested before an agreement, legitimate publishing and security interests, or a legal obligation.
EOI contact is permission-based: FXContext uses inbound requests with explicit consent or contacts already authorised for the purpose. It does not use purchased contact lists or mass promotional email. Every recipient can ask FXContext to stop contacting them.
A submitted EOI triggers one transactional receipt to the business email supplied and operational notifications to the authorised FXContext team. These messages confirm intake only; they are not marketing and contain no tracking pixel.
Optional analytics and cookies
The functional fxcontext_market cookie remembers the market you select for up to 180 days. It is separate from analytics and does not enable tracking.
With your consent, Google Analytics 4 helps us understand visits to broker profiles, comparisons and articles and improve the website. Before you accept analytics, we do not load the Google analytics tag or send analytics requests to Google. You can decline through Manage options.
Analytics may include pseudonymous cookie identifiers, pages visited, referring sites, browser and device information, approximate location, scrolling, outbound clicks and file downloads. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses or EOI form contents to Analytics. Advertising personalisation and Google signals are disabled. Admin pages are excluded.
The essential fxcontext_analytics_consent cookie remembers your choice for up to 180 days. If you accept, Google cookies beginning with _ga distinguish visits for up to 180 days, without extending their expiry on each visit. Analytics user and event data retention is set to two months, with reset on new activity disabled. Standard aggregated reports are not subject to that same retention period.
Open Privacy choices in the footer at any time to change your choice. Rejecting analytics stops further collection on this browser and removes its Google Analytics cookies. Withdrawal does not automatically erase data already collected; contact us about applicable deletion rights.
Sharing, locations and retention
Information is shared only with service providers needed to host, secure or deliver project correspondence, or where disclosure is required by law. Those providers may process data outside your country; FXContext applies available contractual and technical safeguards appropriate to the service and data involved.
Cloudflare hosts and protects the intake service. Zoho Mail processes the contact and EOI details needed to deliver the receipt and internal intake notifications. Google provides optional analytics and may process analytics data outside your country. Its applicabledata processing termsdescribe processing and international transfer safeguards;Google's privacy policyprovides further information about its practices.
The initial EOI form record is kept for up to 12 months after submission. Expired form records are removed by the intake or protected admin service. Any separate substantive correspondence is kept for up to 12 months after the last substantive contact, unless a shorter period is appropriate or a longer period is required for an active dispute or legal obligation. A minimal suppression record may be retained to respect a request not to be contacted again. Provider security logs follow the provider's applicable technical retention settings.
The EOI record does not store an IP address, browser user-agent, Turnstile token or analytics event. Cloudflare processes limited request and anti-abuse data to host and protect the form.
Your choices and rights
You may ask whether FXContext holds personal data about you and request access or correction. Where applicable, you may also request deletion, restriction, portability, object to processing or withdraw consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out lawfully.
Use the verified channel listed on the contact page. FXContext may need enough information to verify the request without collecting unnecessary identity data. You may also contact the supervisory authority applicable to you.
