2. Categories of Personal Data Collected and Source of the Data

 

BaseCampTrading.com collects information that a user chooses to provide, for example, by completing a form to register as a new member, download a white paper or request a document. We also collect information by analyzing a user’s behavior, activity and usage on the Platform over time, any emails or other correspondences you may send us, and any information you provide us to create an account on the Platform. This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies.  For information about cookies see our Cookie Policy at Section 9.

 

The “Personal Data” that we collect and process through the Platform or in connection with the Services includes:

 

Name, contact details

In various sections of the Platform, users are asked to provide information about themselves, such as their name, e-mail address, phone number, billing address and organization.  This happens, for example, when a user wishes to download a white paper or request to sign up for a newsletter.

 

Payment information

If a user requests Services for which payment is required, the user is asked to provide payment information.  This information is collected and processed by an external payment processor; it is not accessed or stored by BaseCampTrading.com.

If a user registers to become a trial member or a member, we create an account in the name of that individual.  Depending on the situations, we request:

• First and Last Name
• Email address

• Telephone number
• Credit Card Number, Card Security Code or Card Verification Code and Expiration Date

Only the minimum amount of information necessary to operate or manage the account is mandatory.  

To access the user account, the registrant is required to choose a password.

 

Communication from Users

When a user completes an online form, visits our Platform (for example on social media), or when a user otherwise contacts us, by email, phone or text, we automatically collect and store certain information about that user and the user’s activities, as we receive from such user, for example:

• The user’s name and contact information;

The information collected in connection with each type of interaction is retained so that we can continue interaction with the requestor with respect to our Platform or Services.

 

Communications to Users

Unless we are prohibited by applicable law from using cookies or a user has not otherwise consented to our use of cookies, we insert cookies in some of our correspondences.

 

In that case, when we send an email message to a user, our message contains images or links that when viewed or clicked, allow us to know whether the user has accessed or declined to open our message.  This action also stores a cookie that allows us to count unique clicks or visits and potentially track the recipient.

This information helps us understand how the individual reacts to our communications and limit the amount and nature of information provided.

 

Surveys and Contests

From time-to-time, we invite users to participate in surveys or contests.  Participation is voluntary.  These surveys are organized for the purposes of our marketing efforts.  When a user participates, we request certain personal data such as name and email address.

7. Cookies

 

In some countries, the law requires us to provide you with detailed information about the cookies that are stored on your device when you access, visit or otherwise use our Platform or Services. The law also requires that we obtain your consent to the use of certain types of cookies. This cookie policy aims to provide you with information about cookies, how we use them, and when applicable law how we request your consent.

 

What are “cookies”?

Cookies are small bits of data we store on the device you use to access our services so we can recognize repeat users. They are used for numerous different purposes, including to remember a user’s actions and preferences (for example, login data, language, font size, other display settings, etc.), so that the user does not have to configure them again when visiting the Platform, or when moving from page to page within a website.  Some operations within a website will not be able to be performed without the use of cookies which, in certain cases, are technically necessary for operation of the website.  They also contain a unique ID code that allows tracking a user’s browsing activities within a website, for statistical or advertising purposes.

 

Technical/Functional Cookies

For some types of cookies, the consent of the user is unnecessary. This is the case for “technical cookies” and “functional cookies” which are only used to send messages through an electronic communication network, are needed to provide the user with the service that the user requests, are used to allow the user to login, and are used to remember choices made by a user when accessing the Platform, such as language, fonts, settings, or to remember the products selected for purchase.  These cookies are essential for the proper operation of the functions offered by the Platform.

 

Cookies present on the Site

We use the following types of cookies:

·         Browsing or session cookies: We use browsing or session cookies as necessary for the operation of the Platform, and/or to allow the user to access and use the content of the Platform and the Services.

·         Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to collect information that permits evaluation of the use of the Platform, and analysis of user’s behavior and improvement of user experience. Information about how to opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics is available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

·         Technical/Functional cookies: We use functional cookies to activate specific functions and to configure webpages according to the user’s preference such as font size or language.

·         Profiling cookies:  We use profiling cookies to observe a user’s interest based on activities on a website, and to send advertisements that take these preferences into account. You may opt-out of being tracked by these cookies

·         Third party cookies: We use third party cookies, owned by third parties to allow the collection of information about you so that we can send advertisements to you when you visit other websites. You may opt-out of being tracked by these cookies. Please notes that opting out of receiving interest-based advertising does not block all advertisements served to your device. You will continue receiving advertisements, but these advertisements will be generic or based on the content of a webpage that you are visiting, instead of being targeted to your specific interests.

Users Located in the EEA

Users located in the EEA have the right to prohibit the use of certain cookies.  Technical cookies such as cookies used to allow users to login, and functional cookies, such as those used to remember choices made by a user when accessing the Platform usually do not require prior consent.

 

However, cookies used to create profiles on users and to send advertising messages that take into account the preferences revealed by users while browsing websites usually require prior consent from users located in the EEA.

 

How we Obtain your Consent (for users in the EEA)

The first time you visit our Platform or at any other time after you have deleted our cookies from your device, you will be presented with a notice informing you that the Platform uses cookies, in accordance with applicable law. That notice will include a link to our cookie policy.

 

If the notice contains a request to agree to the use of our profiling cookies, we will use these cookies if you express your consent by clicking on the appropriate box. If you decide to continue through our Platform after being presented with that notice, without clicking on the appropriate box, we will assume that we do not have your consent to set cookies as described in this policy.

Disabling or blocking cookies

You can black our Platform or other sites from setting cookies and can delete cookies at any time by modifying the settings of your browser. Please review the “Help” section of your browser.

 

CAUTION:  If you block or delete technical and/or functional cookies used by the Platform, the Platform may become impossible to browse, certain services or functions of the Platform may become unavailable or other malfunctions may occur.  In this case, you may have to modify or manually enter some information or preferences every time you visit the Platform.

The GDPR grants individuals who are in the EEA the following rights, with some limitations.  Users may contact us, at the address provided in the “How to Contact us” section below, to exercise any of those rights and we will respond with the requested action or information, or will let you know why that right does not apply to you.

 

Right Not to Provide Consent or to Withdraw Consent

We seek to rely on your consent in order to process certain personal data.  Where we do so, you have the right not to provide your consent, and the right to withdraw your consent at any time.  If you withdraw your consent, this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing conducted based on consent before its withdrawal.

Exercising Access and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by contacting us at support@basecamptrading.com. Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or deletion once within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

 

·         Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.

·         Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

·         Include your full name, email address and phone number so we may process your request in an efficient manner.

 

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.

 

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

 

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

 

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

 

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

 

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

 

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by CCPA, we will not:

 

·         Deny you goods or services.

·         Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.

·         Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.

·         Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

 

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

 

Shine the Light

Under California law, a business that has an established business relationship with an individual, and has, within the immediately preceding calendar year, disclosed personal data that is primarily used for personal, family or household purposes to third party for the third party’s direct marketing purposes, must disclose to its California users, upon request, the identity of any such third party, along with the type of personal data disclosed.

 

You can contact us as provided in the “How to Contact Us” section to obtain such information.  Please note that under California law, businesses are only required to respond to a user’s request once during any calendar year.

 

Do-Not-Track

Some browsers give individuals the ability to communicate that they wish not to be tracked while browsing on the Internet. California law requires that we disclose to users how we treat do-not-track requests. The Internet industry has not yet agreed on a definition of what “Do Not Track” means, how compliance with “Do Not Track” would be measured or evaluated, or a common approach to responding to a “Do Not Track” signal.  Due to the lack of guidance, we have not yet developed features that would recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals in response to California law. In the meantime, there are technical means to prevent some of the tracking, if any.  See Section “Your Advertising Choices.”

 

12. Children’s Privacy
