Welcome to the Privacy Policy for ARGTrade. ARGTrade is the computer systems design and engineering practice operated by Arg General Trading Limited. We are committed to protecting the personal information of every visitor, client, and partner who interacts with our website and our services. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have about the way it is handled.
By using our website at www.argtrade.lat or by engaging our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the practices described on this page. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, you should stop using the website and contact us with any concerns before providing additional information.
We have written this policy in plain language wherever possible. Our goal is to give you a clear and complete picture of our data practices without unnecessary legal complexity. If anything remains unclear, we encourage you to reach out using the contact details at the end of this document.
For the purposes of this policy, the data controller is Arg General Trading Limited. Our registered office is located at Suite 226 3465 Platinum Drive, Mississauga, L5M 2S1, Canada. ARGTrade is the name under which we deliver computer integrated systems design, trading infrastructure, data architecture, cloud engineering, and related technical services.
As a professional, scientific, and technical services provider, we routinely handle business information that may include personal data belonging to our clients, their employees, their customers, and their vendors. We treat all such information with the same standard of care, regardless of its source.
When we act as a processor on behalf of a client, the client remains the controller of the data and decides how that data is used. This policy applies primarily to the personal information we control directly, such as the information we collect through this website and through direct communication with you.
This Privacy Policy applies to the website located at www.argtrade.lat, to the services offered by ARGTrade, and to any other interaction in which we collect personal information as a controller. It describes our practices across all of these touchpoints and explains the rights available to individuals in various jurisdictions.
The policy does not apply to information that is fully anonymous or aggregated in a way that cannot reasonably be linked to any individual. It also does not apply to the practices of third party websites that we link to, even when those links appear on our pages. Those third parties maintain their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them independently.
In the sections that follow, we describe the categories of information we collect, the methods we use to collect it, and the specific purposes for which we process it. We also explain the circumstances under which information may be shared, the safeguards we apply, and the choices you have.
We collect several categories of information in the course of operating our website and delivering our services. The exact information we collect depends on how you interact with us and on the nature of the services you request.
When you contact us through a form, by email, or by telephone, we may collect your name, your email address, your telephone number, your job title, your company name, and the content of your message. This information is used to respond to your inquiry and to manage our relationship with you.
When you visit our website, our systems may automatically record certain technical details. These include your internet protocol address, the type of browser and device you use, your operating system, the pages you visit, the date and time of your visit, and general information about your geographic region. We use this information to operate, protect, and improve the website.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal data such as government identifiers, health information, or financial account numbers through this website. We also do not sell your personal information to anyone for any purpose.
We collect personal information through a small number of straightforward channels. Understanding these channels helps you make informed decisions about what you choose to share with us.
We collect information when you submit a contact form, when you send us an email, when you call our office, and when you communicate with our team in the course of a project. In each case, you control the information you provide, and we ask only for the details that are genuinely necessary to respond to you.
We also collect information through automated means such as server logs and analytics tools. These tools record technical information about the way visitors use our website. The information collected in this way is generally aggregated and does not identify you by name, although it may include your internet protocol address.
Finally, we may receive information about you from third parties, such as when a colleague refers you to us or when a service provider assists us with customer relationship management. When we receive information from a third party, we handle it in accordance with this policy.
We use the personal information we collect for a limited set of clearly defined purposes. We do not use your information for any purpose that is incompatible with the reason it was originally provided.
We use your information to respond to inquiries and requests, to prepare proposals and statements of work, to deliver and manage the services you have asked us to perform, and to communicate with you about those services. We also use it to improve our website and services, to maintain the security of our systems, and to comply with legal obligations that apply to our business.
Where you have consented, we may use your contact details to send you occasional updates about our work, such as notes on systems design and operational reliability. You may withdraw that consent at any time, and every message we send includes a clear way to opt out.
We do not use automated decision making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects for you. Any analysis we perform is used only to understand and improve the quality of our own services.
The laws in several jurisdictions require us to identify the legal basis on which we process personal information. The applicable basis depends on the context in which the information was collected and on where you are located.
In many cases, we process information on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating our business, responding to inquiries, and maintaining the security of our systems. We balance that interest against your own rights and interests, and we only rely on this basis where it is appropriate.
Where we have a contract with you or with your organization, we process information as necessary to perform that contract. Where you have given consent, we rely on that consent and you may withdraw it at any time. Finally, we process information where the law requires us to do so, for example to meet tax, accounting, or regulatory obligations.
We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or for as long as the law requires us to keep it. The specific retention period depends on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
Inquiry records, such as emails and contact form submissions, are generally retained for a period that allows us to respond fully and to maintain a record of our correspondence. Information relating to an active or completed project is retained in line with our business records policy and any applicable legal requirements.
When information is no longer needed, we delete it or irreversibly anonymize it so that it can no longer be linked to you. If you would like to request earlier deletion of your information, you may do so using the contact details below, subject to any legal obligations we must honor.
We take the security of personal information seriously and apply technical and organizational measures designed to protect it against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures are reviewed and updated as our systems evolve.
Our security practices include access controls that limit who can view personal information, encryption for data in transit, and monitoring designed to detect unusual activity. We also train our team members on their responsibility to handle information carefully and confidentially.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a security incident that affects your personal information, we will notify you and any relevant authority as required by law.
Our business is based in Canada, but the tools and service providers we use may process information in other countries. When personal information is transferred across borders, we take steps to ensure that an adequate level of protection continues to apply.
For transfers involving jurisdictions that have not been recognized as providing an adequate level of protection, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or other mechanisms permitted by law. We also limit the amount of information that is transferred to what is necessary for the relevant service.
If you are located outside Canada and you provide information to us, you understand that the information may be processed in Canada or in another country where our service providers operate. The data protection laws in those countries may differ from the laws in your own location.
Our website and services are designed for business users and are not directed to children under the age of sixteen. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and we do not intend our content to appeal to them.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that a child under sixteen has provided personal information to us, please contact us using the details below. We will take reasonable steps to delete that information from our systems as quickly as possible.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without the required parental consent, we will remove the information promptly and in accordance with applicable law.
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights in relation to the personal information we hold about you. These rights can include the right to access your information, the right to correct inaccurate information, the right to request deletion, and the right to restrict or object to certain processing.
You may also have the right to data portability, which allows you to receive a copy of your information in a structured and commonly used format. Where we process information on the basis of consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the Contact Us section below. We will respond to your request within the timeframes required by law, and we may ask you to verify your identity before we act on certain requests.
If you are a resident of California, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act and related laws. These rights include the right to know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose, and the right to request that we delete your personal information.
You also have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information. We do not sell personal information, and we have not sold personal information in the past twelve months. We do not use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
To exercise your California privacy rights, contact us using the details below. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under applicable law. We will verify your request before fulfilling it.
Some browsers include a Do Not Track setting that sends a signal to websites indicating a preference that your online activity not be tracked. At this time, our website does not respond differently to Do Not Track signals because there is no widely adopted standard for how those signals should be handled.
Regardless of Do Not Track settings, we apply the privacy practices described in this policy to all visitors. We do not sell your information, and we do not engage in advertising-based tracking of your activity across other websites.
If you wish to limit tracking more broadly, you can manage cookies through your browser settings or use privacy tools that meet your preferences.
Our website may contain links to websites operated by other organizations. We provide these links for convenience, but we do not control the content or the privacy practices of those third party sites, and we are not responsible for them.
When you click a link that takes you away from our website, the privacy policy of that other site will apply to your interaction. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit, particularly before you provide any personal information.
The inclusion of a link on our website does not imply that we endorse the linked site or that we have verified its privacy practices. Your decision to visit a third party site is made at your own discretion.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our services, or the law. When we make changes, we will update the last updated date at the top of this page so that you can see when the policy was most recently revised.
If we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to bring those changes to your attention, such as by posting a notice on our website. We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you remain informed about the way we handle your information.
Your continued use of our website after any changes have been posted will indicate your acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you should discontinue use of the website and contact us with any questions.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or to the way we handle your personal information, please contact us using the details below. We welcome your feedback and will respond as promptly as we can.
