Privacy Policy
Last updated : May 10, 2025
ChartWatch.ca (“Chart Watch,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and safeguards personal information in compliance with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA). This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
​
1.  Information We Collect
We may collect:
-
Details you provide directly – your name, email address, and any messages or comments you send through forms, emails, or blog interactions.
-
Device and usage data – IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, time spent on each page, and referring URLs, gathered automatically through cookies and analytics scripts.
-
Marketing preferences – whether you opted into newsletters and how you interact with those emails (opens, clicks).
We do not knowingly collect data that would identify anyone under 13 years old.
​
2.  Why We Use Your Data and Our Legal Bases
-
To respond to enquiries and deliver requested content — with your consent or to take pre‑contractual steps at your request.
-
To send newsletters or product updates — only when you have given explicit consent (you can unsubscribe at any time).
-
To analyse traffic and improve site performance — under our legitimate interest in running and optimising the Site.
-
To detect fraud, enforce our Terms, or comply with legal obligations — when required by law or to protect our legal rights.
​
3.  Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use essential cookies for basic site functions and third‑party cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) for aggregate statistics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some functions may not work as intended.
​
4.  Sharing and Disclosure
Personal data is shared only with:
-
Service providers that host our website, manage email lists, or provide analytics, all bound by confidentiality agreements.
-
Legal authorities when required to comply with subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes.
-
Business transferees in the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.
We never sell personal data for monetary consideration, and California residents can still exercise “opt‑out of sale/share” rights under CPRA.
​
5.  International Transfers
Our servers and third‑party services may operate outside your jurisdiction. Where law requires, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards for transfers from the EEA/UK to Canada or the United States.
​
6.  Data Retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, meet legal requirements, or resolve disputes. Afterwards, data is securely deleted or anonymized.
​
7.  Security Measures
Chart Watch uses industry‑standard safeguards such as HTTPS/TLS encryption, firewall protection, and access controls to defend against loss, misuse, or unauthorized access to your information.
​
8.  Your Privacy Rights
-
Canada (PIPEDA) – request access to or correction of your personal information and withdraw consent at any time.
-
EU/UK (GDPR) – rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object, and obtain data portability.
-
California (CCPA/CPRA) – rights to know, delete, correct, opt‑out of sale/share, limit use of sensitive information, and freedom from discrimination.
To exercise any of these rights, email ledenev.daniel@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
​
9.  Third‑Party Links
Links to external sites (e.g., news articles, broker platforms) are provided for convenience. Chart Watch is not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; review their policies separately.
​
10.  Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date and, where required, notify you by email or an on‑site notice. Continued use of the Site after any changes indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
