1.2 What is an IP Address?

Once your computer connects to the internet, it is automatically assigned a unique number known as an IP Address. This address is your computer’s address on the internet. Without such IP Address, websites would not be able to fnd your computer on the internet and, consequentially, would not be able to deliver their content to you. Because the IP Address is automatically regenerated each time you connect to the internet, they are not inherently capable of identifying you as an individual. Seeing as an IP Address contains certain information pertaining to the location of your computer, IP Addresses are considered personal data under EU law.

1.3 How do we collect your IP Address

Each time you visit a page on the Site, your computer requests content to be delivered. This request comes with your IP Address in order for our Site to know where to deliver the content. Our server automatically records these messages.

The IP Address is automatically gathered along with information relating to the browser being used, the ISP, the operating system, the date and time stamps, clickstream data and the pages viewed on the Site.

IP Addresses are not stored for longer than necessary for the above stated purposes. Please refer to our Privacy Policy at https://www.thextrade.com/legal/privacypolicy for further information on retention periods and other rights in relation to personal data.
