01Who is responsible for your data

The controller of personal data processed through this website is capit-tredaix.com, an independent editorial project, 22 Gayfield Square, Edinburgh EH1 3NX, United Kingdom; email info@capit-tredaix.com; phone 0131 496 0417.

If you have any question about this policy or your data, write to us at the address above.

02What data we collect

We collect personal data only when you use the contact form. That data is: your name, your email address, the subject (if you add one), your message, and your answers to the three confirmation boxes: that you have read this Privacy Policy, that you consent to the transfer of your data to process your request, and whether you agree to receive promotional offers.

We do not ask for, and ask you not to send, financial details such as account numbers, card details, passwords or identification numbers. If such details arrive, we delete them.

We do not use analytics tools, advertising cookies or any technology that follows your activity. Your browser stores one preference, described in our Cookie Policy.

03Why we use it and our legal basis

We use your contact details and message to read and answer your request. The legal basis is your consent, given with the required confirmation boxes, and our legitimate interest in answering questions about our content.

If you tick the optional box "I agree to receive promotional offers", we may occasionally email you about new study pages and updates on this website. The legal basis for this is your consent. We will never send offers for financial products, and we never pass your address to anyone else for their marketing.

04Your optional marketing consent and how to withdraw it

The marketing box is optional and unticked by default. Leaving it unticked has no effect on how we answer your question.

You can withdraw your marketing consent at any time, free of charge, by emailing info@capit-tredaix.com with the word "unsubscribe", by writing to our postal address, or by using the unsubscribe line included in every promotional email. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of anything sent before you withdrew it. We stop sending promotional emails as soon as possible, and at the latest within a few working days.

05Who can see your data

Only the members of our editorial team who handle your request. We do not sell, rent or share your data with third parties. Our web hosting provider processes data on our behalf only to the extent needed to run the website.

The site does not run any AI tool, and messages you send are not passed to one.

06How long we keep it

We keep contact messages only for as long as needed to answer them and deal with any follow-up, and in any case no longer than twelve months. If you gave marketing consent, we keep your email address for that purpose until you withdraw it.

07Your rights

Under UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR, you have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its use, to data portability where applicable, and to withdraw consent at any time.

To use any of these rights, contact us at info@capit-tredaix.com. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent data protection authority.

08Advertising

The website is funded by advertising. At the time of this review, no advertising or analytics cookies are set. If that changes, we will update this policy and our Cookie Policy before any such cookie is used and ask for your consent where required.

09Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our practices or the law change. The date at the top of the page shows the latest version.

All investments carry risk, including the possible loss of capital. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The value of investments can fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you put in.
