I. Data Collection Practices

A. INFORMATION DIRECTLY COLLECTED FROM YOU

Ian’s Tech does not solicit personal information during standard website navigation. Nonetheless, registration is requisite for accessing exclusive materials within restricted sections, necessitating the submission of personal identifiers, including but not limited to, your name, email address, telephone number, and physical address.

The purpose behind collecting such data is to furnish personalized content and verify the authenticity of users, whether individuals or legal entities, thereby enabling tailored engagement strategies.

Furthermore, should you initiate contact with us for inquiries or to address issues, your personal information will be acquired and utilized solely for site management objectives.

B. AUTOMATICALLY GATHERED INFORMATION

In addition to the information directly provided by you for registration or inquiries, Ian’s Tech automatically accumulates both personal and non-personal data during your website interactions.

This data, collected automatically, includes digital identifiers such as your IP address, browser type, details of your Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as timestamps and browsing behavior, all documented via Log Files.

To enhance user experience and support our marketing efforts, we deploy Cookies and Web Beacons, allowing customization of our offerings to meet your preferences.

Your management of Cookies through your device’s settings is acknowledged; absence of their deactivation implies your consent to their application.

C. DATA FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES

Ian’s Tech, in providing financial market insights, may direct users to our Advertising Partners’ offerings relevant to your interests.

Control over these Cookies rests with you through your device settings, given that these external technologies are beyond our regulation.

Interaction with advertisements does not establish a connection with the Advertising Partner, and this Privacy Policy solely pertains to interactions directly involving Ian’s Tech.

Our Advertising Partners, including Google with its Dart Cookies, maintain their own privacy policies. We advise consulting these policies on their respective web platforms. Google offers an opt-out for Dart Cookies, detailed within Google’s Privacy Policy webpage.
