Scope of This Policy

This policy explains how igmabrokerau.com handles personal information. The site is an independent editorial resource that publishes reviews and commentary about a broker for readers in Australia. It is not the broker, it is not affiliated with the broker, and it does not offer financial services, open accounts, accept deposits or give advice. This policy covers the website only. It does not cover the broker's own sites or services, which have their own privacy terms, and it does not cover any third-party page you may reach through a link.

The policy describes what is collected, why it is collected, where it is held, how long it is kept and what you can ask us to do with it. It applies to visitors, readers and anyone who contacts the site.

Information We Collect

We collect the information you choose to give us, such as the contents of a message sent through the contact form on this site. We also collect limited technical information automatically when pages are loaded, including the type of device and browser, the pages viewed, the referring page and approximate region derived from the network address.

We do not ask for account details, deposit information, identity documents or financial records, and readers should not send them. The site does not operate trading accounts and has no facility to receive funds.

Legal Basis

We process contact messages because they are needed to answer the inquiry you have raised and, where relevant, to pursue the site's legitimate interest in responding to readers and improving its editorial work. Technical and measurement data is processed on the basis of the site's legitimate interest in keeping the website secure, understanding which articles are read and maintaining performance.

Where the law requires consent for a particular use, that consent is requested before the use begins and can be withdrawn at any time through the contact form on this site. Consent is never a condition of reading the site.

Analytics and Aggregated Measurement

The site uses measurement tools to count visits, see which pages are opened and understand how readers move through the articles. The resulting reports are aggregated: they show patterns across visitors rather than the behaviour of a named person. Aggregated figures may be used in editorial planning or described in general terms, but they are not used to build profiles for advertising and are not sold.

Measurement data is retained only as long as needed to produce these reports.

Sharing, Location and Retention

Information is shared only with the service providers that run the site: the hosting provider, the measurement provider and the provider that delivers contact form messages. These providers act on the site's instructions and are bound to use the information only for that purpose. Servers and providers may sit outside Australia, including in the United States and the European Union, so information may be processed in those places under the safeguards those providers maintain.

We never sell personal information, and we do not share it with the broker reviewed on this site or with any other broker, platform or advertiser for their own marketing. Disclosure otherwise happens only where the law requires it.

Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to handle the inquiry and any follow-up, and are then deleted. Technical and measurement records are kept for a shorter period consistent with reporting needs. When a retention period ends, the records are removed or aggregated.

Your Rights and Children

You may ask what personal information the site holds about you, request a copy, ask for corrections, ask for deletion, or object to a particular use. You may also withdraw consent where consent was the basis. Requests are made through the contact form on this site, and we respond within a reasonable time. If you are not satisfied with the answer, you may raise the matter with the privacy regulator in your jurisdiction.

The site is written for adults. It is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has sent information through the site, contact us and it will be removed.
