Asia Future Trading Privacy Policy

At Asia Future Trading, we strive to maintain full transparency regarding the handling and safeguarding of your personal data. This policy outlines the purposes for which Asia Future Trading ('we', 'our') processes your personal data, the categories of personal data involved, and the parties responsible for processing.

Who is legally responsible for protecting your personal data?

This website is operated by Asia Future Trading Corporation Limited (Company Registration No.: 25606 BC 2019), a company registered with the Financial Services Authority (FSA) of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

We are obligated to process your personal data securely. If any applicable national legislation requires a higher level of data protection than the GDPR, we must adhere to the stricter standards.

You may also contact the Data Protection Officer at Asia Future Trading via the above-mentioned contact details or the email address provided below.[email protected]

What categories of personal data may Asia Future Trading process, and where is this data obtained from?

Asia Future Trading collects only the information necessary to establish and maintain a business relationship with you.

While we primarily collect this information directly from you, we may also obtain personal data from other sources, including other Asia Future Trading entities, counterparties, financial institutions, public sources (such as news outlets, corporate registries, and the internet, including social media), as well as commercial due diligence providers, anti-fraud databases, sanctions lists, and media screening tools.

The types of personal data we may process include:

Full name and contact information.
Records related to your client relationship and services used, including data generated through our IT systems and mobile platforms.
Know Your Customer (KYC) details such as passport data, national identification numbers, date and place of birth, source of wealth, rationale for legal or corporate structure usage, your occupation (including politically exposed person status), and adverse media findings linked to your profile.
Financial information such as bank account details, signature samples, income, assets, expenditures, investment objectives, marital status, and knowledge or experience with financial instruments, risk tolerance, loss absorption capacity, tax status, and residency.
Biometric data used for identity verification during client onboarding.
Recordings of telephone calls and electronic communications.
Interaction records across our platforms, applications, emails, messages, and social media.
Geolocation data used for compliance with sanctions or other legal requirements.

What are the purposes and legal bases for Asia Future Trading to use your personal data?

We process your personal data for the following purposes:

To perform a contract (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR)

We may need to process your personal data to execute a contract related to the provision of financial services, or to take steps at your request prior to entering into such a contract.
For more specific terms, please refer to the contractual documentation entered into with us.

To fulfill legal obligations or act in the public interest (Articles 6(1)(c) and (e) of the GDPR)

As a regulated entity, we are subject to legal and supervisory obligations that may require us to collect, retain, or disclose personal data; record telephone conversations; or monitor electronic communications, for purposes such as anti-money laundering, compliance with sanctions, or responding to requests from law enforcement, regulators, tax authorities, or other governmental entities.

For legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR)

We process your personal data where necessary to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties. This includes:

Conducting business analysis and product/service development, including improving platform usability and client service.
Carrying out security operations for information systems and physical premises, including the use of recordings.
Capturing preliminary contact details for prospective clients and visitors prior to account opening.
Recording calls and monitoring communications for training and quality assurance.
Preventing, detecting, and investigating fraud, financial crime, and market abuse—including activities by end clients of white-label partners on the Asia Future Trading platform.
Assessing, exercising, or defending legal claims.

Based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR)

If we wish to process your personal data for purposes not covered under the aforementioned legal bases, we will request your explicit consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time. Please note that withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent prior to its withdrawal, but it may impact our ability to continue offering services in the same way.

We rely on your consent for the following purposes:

Verifying your identity using biometric data.
If you are part of our Preferred Broker Program, sharing trading activity data on our platform with your employer.
Delivering promotional and marketing materials.
Sharing your personal data, name, email address, and phone number with selected partners and third-party platforms for marketing purposes.
Collecting behavioral and statistical data related to your use of our website (cookies).

With whom may we share your personal data?

Where necessary to fulfill your instructions or for the purposes described above, we may share your personal data with a range of recipients, including due diligence providers, financial institutions, investment funds, payment beneficiaries, payment and settlement system providers, exchanges, regulatory authorities, public bodies (including tax authorities), affiliated group entities and service providers, professional advisors, auditors, insurers, and potential acquirers of business units.

We only disclose your data in accordance with contractual terms, applicable data protection laws (such as the GDPR), and confidentiality obligations. Asia Future Trading does not sell personal data to third parties under any circumstances.

Please refer to our data recipient categories for more information.

Will your personal data be transferred outside the EU/EEA?

As a global organization, Asia Future Trading operates internationally to deliver top-tier services. For the purposes described above, your data may be transferred to 'third countries'—jurisdictions outside the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA).

If personal data is shared within Asia Future Trading Corporation Limited, such transfers are governed by our Binding Corporate Rules, which ensure consistent protection across all our entities.

When engaging service providers located outside the EU/EEA, we ensure data protection through the use of Standard Contractual Clauses or by relying on adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission. Asia Future Trading only transfers personal data internationally in accordance with GDPR requirements.

How long do we retain your personal data?

Asia Future Trading retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

In accordance with legal obligations, KYC-related data and transaction records will be stored for 5 years following the termination of the client relationship.

If personal data was collected during demo account applications, webinars, or other activities without resulting in a formal client relationship, we will retain such data for 90 days. If an account application is submitted but a client relationship is not established, data will be kept for 180 days from the date of submission. If interest is expressed in the last 30 days of this period, retention may be extended by 30 days per subsequent expression of interest.

Where you have consented to receive marketing communications and/or to share personal data with third parties for promotional purposes, such data will be retained until you withdraw your consent.

Certain records may be held beyond these durations to comply with ongoing audit, tax, or legal claim obligations.

Do we use your personal data for profiling purposes?

Within this privacy notice, 'profiling' refers to the use of automated processing of personal data to evaluate or predict aspects of your behavior. We may apply profiling in the following cases:

To assist in detecting potential financial crime.
To tailor information about our products and services that may be of interest to you.

What data protection rights do you have?

Subject to applicable exceptions and limitations under the GDPR, you have the following rights:

Right to access your personal data — You may request a copy of the personal data we process about you.
Right to rectification — You may request that we correct incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you.
Right to erasure — You may request deletion of your data where no longer necessary for the original purposes (‘right to be forgotten’).
Right to restrict processing — You may request that we temporarily suspend processing of your data, e.g., while verifying its accuracy or resolving an objection to processing.
Right to data portability — You may request that we transfer your data to you or another organization in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Right to object — You may object to processing of your personal data, including for marketing purposes.
Right not to be subject to automated decision-making — You may request not to be subject to decisions made solely by automated processing that significantly affect your legal rights or interests. We generally do not make such decisions without human review, and we will inform you if we do.

For more information on how to exercise your rights, please contact us.

Are you obligated to provide your personal data to us?

You are not legally required to provide personal data to us. However, without certain data, we may be unable to establish or maintain a client relationship. For instance, anti-money laundering laws require us to verify your identity, which necessitates the collection of specific personal information.

Amendments to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect clarifications, legal updates under the GDPR, or changes in our business operations. Any material revisions will be communicated to you in a timely manner.
