• Regulatory Compliance
  Personal information may be shared with regulatory bodies or government authorities to comply with legal obligations, such as anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations. This ensures that Exness operates within international financial laws and maintains a secure trading environment.
• Service Providers
  Exness collaborates with third-party service providers for functions like payment processing, customer support, and IT services. These partners receive limited access to client data to perform their tasks effectively and are required to uphold strict confidentiality and data security standards.
• Business Partners and Affiliates
  Information may be shared with business partners or affiliates when necessary for the operation and administration of joint marketing campaigns, promotions, or referral programs. Exness ensures that such partners follow data protection principles and only use the information for the intended purposes.
• Financial Institutions
  Personal and financial data may be disclosed to banks and financial institutions for payment transactions, withdrawals, or deposits. This allows Exness to process client transactions securely and efficiently.
• Legal Proceedings and Protection
  In cases of legal disputes or if required by law enforcement, Exness may disclose personal data to comply with court orders or protect its rights, property, and users.
• Corporate Transactions
  If Exness undergoes a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, personal data may be transferred to the new entity. Clients will be notified of such changes and given the opportunity to withdraw consent where required.

Data Retention

Exness retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with legal obligations. The retention period varies based on several factors, including:

• Purpose of Data Collection
  Personal information is retained for the duration of the client relationship to provide trading services, customer support, and personalized marketing. For instance, data related to account registration and verification is kept as long as the account remains active.
• Legal and Regulatory Compliance
  Exness retains data to comply with financial regulations, such as anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) rules. This ensures that the company can fulfill its obligations to regulatory authorities, which often require keeping records for a specified period after the client relationship ends.
• Dispute Resolution and Audits
  Data may be retained to resolve disputes, conduct audits, or protect Exness’ legal rights. This is particularly important for maintaining accurate financial records and providing evidence if needed in legal proceedings.
• Service Improvements and Analytics
  Anonymized or aggregated data may be kept longer for research, statistical analysis, or improving the quality of services. Such data is not linked to individual clients.
• Secure Data Deletion
  Once the retention period expires or the data is no longer required for legal, regulatory, or operational purposes, Exness securely deletes, destroys, or anonymizes the information. The company follows industry best practices to ensure data is disposed of in a way that prevents unauthorized access or misuse.

Security Measures

Exness takes the security and confidentiality of personal data seriously and implements a range of technical and organizational measures to protect it. These measures include:

• Data Encryption
  Sensitive information is encrypted both in transit and at rest using strong encryption protocols. This ensures that personal and financial data remain secure during communication and storage.
• Secure Communication Protocols
  Exness uses secure communication channels like SSL/TLS to protect data exchanged between clients and the company’s servers. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized interception of client data.
• Access Controls
  Access to personal information is restricted to authorized employees, service providers, or partners who require it to perform their duties. These individuals follow strict confidentiality agreements and are granted access only on a need-to-know basis.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
  Clients are encouraged to enable two-factor authentication to secure their accounts. This additional layer of security helps prevent unauthorized access, even if login credentials are compromised.
• Regular Security Audits and Testing
  Exness conducts regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing to identify and address potential security weaknesses. This proactive approach ensures that emerging threats are mitigated promptly.
• Staff Training
  Employees receive training on data protection policies, confidentiality requirements, and cybersecurity best practices. This ensures that staff members understand the importance of data security and can respond appropriately to potential threats.
• Incident Response Plan
  A comprehensive incident response plan is in place to handle data breaches or security incidents swiftly. This plan ensures prompt action to minimize data exposure, notify affected parties, and cooperate with regulatory authorities.
