2.5 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, security, analytics, and personalized experiences. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

• Contractual necessity — to provide the Services you signed up for;
• Consent — for marketing communications and non-essential cookies;
• Legitimate interests — for fraud prevention, security, and service improvement;
• Legal obligation — to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

4. How We Use Your Data

• Legal authorities — when required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights;
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to you.

If we transfer data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or rely on adequacy decisions to ensure an equivalent level of protection.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@investgate.app. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Security Measures

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL), encrypted databases, access controls, and regular security audits. No system is completely secure; you use the Services at your own risk.

The Services are not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, contact us immediately and we will delete it.

10. Third-Party Links
