This privacy policy explains what personal data best-p2p-platforms-europe.com collects, why we collect it, and the rights you hold under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What we collect and why
Server logs
Our web server records standard technical data every time a page loads: your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. This is collected by the hosting provider CloudFront and stored for up to seven days. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating a secure and stable website. Logs are used only to diagnose technical issues, detect abuse, and generate anonymous aggregate traffic statistics.
Contact forms and emails
When you use the contact form or send an email to [email protected], you provide your email address and any content you include. We store this correspondence to respond to your query and maintain a record of our communication. The legal basis is your consent (by submitting the form) and our legitimate interest in customer service. We delete contact records after three years unless you request earlier deletion.
Cookies and local storage
This site uses minimal cookies. We do not set tracking or advertising cookies. Your browser may store a session identifier to keep the mobile menu state during your visit - this expires when you close the browser. If we later introduce optional analytics, we will ask for your explicit consent before setting any non-essential cookies.
Outbound affiliate links
Links marked with rel="noopener nofollow noindex" (for example, to Maclear or 8lends) may include referral parameters. When you click such a link and visit a third-party platform, that platform's own privacy policy applies. We do not control or track your activity on external sites. We receive aggregated reports - for example, "17 clicks in January" - without identifying individual users. See how we earn for full affiliate disclosure.
Data sharing and processors
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data. We share data only with the following processors, all of whom are GDPR-compliant:
- Hosting provider (CloudFront): stores server logs for up to seven days
- Email service: may temporarily process contact-form messages in transit
If you follow an affiliate link, the destination platform receives your IP address and browser information under their own privacy policy - this is a direct relationship between you and that platform, not a data transfer arranged by us.
Your rights
Under GDPR Articles 15-22, you have the right to:
- Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Rectification: correct inaccurate data
- Erasure: delete your data where no legal obligation requires retention
- Restriction: limit how we process your data
- Portability: receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests
To exercise any right, email [email protected] with "GDPR Request" in the subject line. We will respond within one month. If you believe we have mishandled your data, you may lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.
Data retention
- Server logs: seven days
- Contact correspondence: three years from last message
- Anonymous aggregated statistics: retained indefinitely (cannot identify individuals)
Security
We protect data with industry-standard measures: HTTPS encryption for all pages, secure hosting infrastructure, regular software updates, and access controls limiting who can view contact emails. No security method is 100% foolproof, but we take reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure or loss.
Children's privacy
This site is intended for adults considering financial products. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact us immediately so we can delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy as our practices evolve or regulations change. Material changes will be announced at the top of this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
