We've tried to keep it as simple as possible, but if you're not familiar with terms like cookies, IP addresses, and browsers, then read about these key terms first. Your privacy matters to GCX LTD so please do take the time to get to know our practices and if you have any questions contact us.

As is true of most websites, but subject to your browser settings, we automatically gather information about your computer, such as your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages and operating system.

We may also ask you to complete surveys that we use for research purposes, although you do not have to respond to them.

6. Information storage

We may process your personal information on a service located outside the country where you live, and such personal information may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"), such as the Switzerland or the United States. Wherever we process or store your personal information, we will, in addition to complying with all applicable laws and regulations in that jurisdiction, comply with this Privacy Policy.

By submitting your personal information, you agree to this processing, storing, and transferring of such personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the remaining terms of the Agreement.

Unfortunately and as acknowledged and agreed by you in the Terms, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Website; any transmission is at your own risk, although GCX adopts industry best practices to safeguard your personal information such as encryption.

We will share your personal information with third parties in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy. We will not sell, rent, loan, trade or lease any of your personal information collected, including application forms, financial data, or email addresses. GCX LTD may ask for your permission by email to disclose your personal information to service providers not affiliated with GCX LTD, but you have the right to refuse.

We may provide your personal information to companies that provide services to help us with our business activities. These companies are authorised to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to us.

We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information publicly and with our partners – like publishers, advertisers, or connected sites. For example, we may share information publicly to show trends, traffic volumes, or publish market research.

We may disclose your personal information to the police, regulatory bodies, or legal advisers, in connection with any alleged criminal offence or suspected breach of the Agreement otherwise relating to you or otherwise where required by law and regulations and we will co-operate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of or locate anyone breaching the Agreement or otherwise for the prevention or detection of crime or the apprehension or prosecution of offenders.

We recognise your right to confidentiality and privacy and agree that, except when required to provide information to comply with any regulatory or legal obligations imposed upon us or any form of legal process, access to information about you is only provided to our staff and agents and associated service providers (wherever located) who reasonably need to receive that information to allow, facilitate or improve the services provided to you under the customer agreement and only ever on a need to know basis.

We may disclose your personal information to any member of our Group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006.

If GCX LTD or substantially all of its assets or business will be acquired by a third party, personal information held by it about its customers will be transferred assets.

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us.

When you enter sensitive information such as log-in credentials we encrypt the transmission of that information using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We restrict access to your personal information that we hold to GCX LTD employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to process it for us, and who are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations at least equal to those we owe to you and such persons may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.

If you have any questions about security on our Website, please contact us.

For security reasons, we do not recommend saving your Account log-in details and Password in your computer's memory (do not allow your browser to remember your Password). Consequently, we advise entering your Account log-in details and Password each time you begin a new browser session and wish to view your Account.
