  1. PREAMBLE AND SCOPE

This Cookie and Tracking Technologies Policy ("Policy") outlines the specific practices of ScanAlpha (operating as a product of FinGenesis and its successors, and hereinafter referred to as the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") regarding the deployment of cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and similar technologies (collectively, "Tracking Technologies") on the ScanAlpha platform, website, mobile applications, and related digital services (collectively, the "Services").

This Policy is an integral part of our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. It is drafted to comply with global regulatory frameworks, including but not limited to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (CCPA), Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), and the Data Protection Law of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC DPL).

  1. DEFINITIONS OF TECHNOLOGIES

To ensure transparency and legal precision, we define the technologies utilized within the ScanAlpha ecosystem:

  • Cookies: Small text files containing a unique string of characters that are stored on your browser or device when you visit our Services. They allow us to recognize your device upon subsequent visits.

  • Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that remain in your browser’s cookie file only for the duration of your browsing session and are deleted when the browser is closed.

  • Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a pre-defined retention period or until manually deleted, used to remember your preferences and login status across sessions.

  • Web Beacons (Pixels/Tags): Electronic images (often transparent 1x1 pixels) or code snippets embedded in our Services or emails that allow us to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email.

  • Local Storage Objects (LSOs): Data stored locally on your browser (e.g., HTML5 Local Storage) that persists even after the browser window is closed, often used for storing content information and preferences.

  • Software Development Kits (SDKs): Blocks of code provided by our partners that may be installed in our mobile applications to help us understand how you interact with our mobile app and to collect certain information about the device and network you use to access the application.

  1. CATEGORIZATION OF COOKIES

We categorize the Tracking Technologies used on ScanAlpha into four distinct legal classifications.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These technologies are fundamental to the operation of the ScanAlpha infrastructure. They cannot be disabled in our systems.

  • Purpose:

    • Authentication: Verifying your identity when you log in to ScanAlpha.

    • Security: Detecting and preventing malicious activity, fraud, and violations of our Terms of Service (e.g., CSRF protection tokens).

    • Session Management: Maintaining your session state as you navigate between different modules (e.g., moving from the "Screener" to "Charts").

  • Legal Basis: Performance of Contract and Legitimate Interest (Security). Consent is not required for these cookies under most jurisdictions (including GDPR and PDPA).

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These technologies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of ScanAlpha.

  • Purpose:

    • Metrics: Collecting data on which financial instruments (tickers) are most viewed, latency of chart loading, and error rates.

    • Optimization: Helping us understand how users navigate the platform to streamline the UX/UI.

  • Data Handling: All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and pseudonymazed. We do not use this data to identify you personally in isolation.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the Services to provide enhanced functionality and personalization.

  • Purpose:

    • Preferences: Remembering your selected language, region, time zone, and specific chart settings (e.g., saved indicators, candlestick patterns).

    • Display: Storing your preference for "Dark Mode" or "Light Mode" and dashboard layout configurations.

  • Provider: These may be set by us or by third-party providers (e.g., charting libraries) whose services we have added to our pages.

3.4 Targeting and Marketing Cookies (If Applicable)

While ScanAlpha prioritizes a professional trading environment, we reserve the right to utilize these technologies for specific campaigns.

  • Purpose: These cookies record your visit to our Services, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We may use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests.

  • Third-Party Sharing: We may share this information with third parties (such as ad networks) for this purpose.

  1. THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGIES

ScanAlpha integrates with top-tier financial and technical service providers. These third parties may place their own cookies on your device. We undertake strict due diligence to ensure these partners comply with global privacy standards.

  1. DATA RETENTION

Cookies set by ScanAlpha have different lifespans:

  1. Session Cookies: Deleted immediately upon closing the browser.

  2. Persistent Cookies: Retained for a period necessary to achieve the stated purpose, typically ranging from 30 days to 24 months.

  3. Consent Logs: Records of your cookie preferences are retained for 12 months to demonstrate compliance with legal obligations.

  1. YOUR MANAGEMENT RIGHTS

You have the right to accept, reject, or manage cookies.

6.1 Consent Management Platform (CMP)

Upon your first visit to ScanAlpha, a banner will appear allowing you to:

  • Accept All: Enable all tracking technologies.

  • Reject All: Disable all non-essential technologies (Performance, Functional, Targeting).

  • Customize: Granularly select which categories you permit.

You may update these preferences at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website.

6.2 Browser Settings

Most modern browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings preferences.

  • Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data.

  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy.

  • Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security.

Note: Disabling Strictly Necessary cookies via your browser may render the ScanAlpha platform unusable (e.g., inability to log in).

  1. GLOBAL JURISDICTIONAL DISCLOSURES

7.1 European Economic Area (EEA) and UK (GDPR/UK GDPR)

  • Legal Basis: We rely on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) for all non-essential cookies. For Strictly Necessary cookies, we rely on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) to ensure the security and functionality of the platform.

  • Withdrawal: You have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

7.2 United States (CCPA/CPRA)

  • Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information: Residents of California have the right to opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information (which may include cookie data used for cross-context behavioral advertising).

  • Global Privacy Control (GPC): ScanAlpha recognizes GPC signals from enabled browsers and will automatically opt you out of non-essential tracking if such a signal is detected.

7.3 Singapore (PDPA)

  • Deemed Consent: By voluntarily providing personal data for a specific purpose (e.g., logging in), you are deemed to consent to the collection of data reasonably necessary for that purpose (Strictly Necessary cookies).

  • Notification: This Policy serves as the required notification under the PDPA regarding the purposes of data collection via tracking technologies.

7.4 United Arab Emirates (DIFC/ADGM & Federal Law)

  • Compliance: In accordance with the DIFC Data Protection Law No. 5 of 2020 and UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021, we ensure that consent is explicit, unambiguous, and freely given. We do not use pre-ticked boxes for non-essential cookies.

Material changes will be notified via a pop-up on the ScanAlpha platform or via email to registered users. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document indicates when the latest changes were made.
