Data we collect
Account data: the identity documents used to verify you, plus your name, date of birth, country of residence, email address and phone number. Financial regulation makes those documents mandatory, and no funded account can be opened without them.
Trading data, which forms the record of your account and which we are required to keep: orders placed, positions held, plans opened and the balances behind them.
Technical data, used to keep your account secure and the site running: your IP address, the device and browser you connect from, and the pages of this site you visit.
Why we need it
To operate the account you asked for, to carry out your orders, and to move money in and out when you tell us to.
To comply with obligations we cannot waive: verifying your identity, screening against sanctions, reporting for tax and retaining trading records.
To keep the account secure: we flag devices that are new to us and recognise the ones you normally sign in from.
Our legal basis
The agreement that governs your account is a contract between you and Meridian, and performing it is the reason for most of our processing.
We carry out identity checks, record keeping and reporting because the law obliges us to.
Our legitimate interest in a platform that is safe and works properly is the basis for security monitoring and product improvement. If you object to it, we stop such processing unless there is an overriding reason to continue.
Marketing emails need your consent first, and each one lets you withdraw it.
Who we share it with
Providers of identity verification and payments, and the banks that move the money, each receiving only what its part of the process requires.
Law enforcement, tax authorities and regulators, when we are legally bound to answer a valid request from them.
Companies that host and monitor the platform for us, bound by contracts that stop them using your data for any other purpose.
Your personal data is never sold, and advertisers never receive it.
Prices and news shown on this site
Your browser only ever connects to this site: the live prices, charts and sparklines here are served by our own server, which fetches them from a public market-data provider and shares one result among all visitors. The provider therefore never learns your IP address or connection details.
Those requests carry no account information. The site does not depend on them: when the feed is down, the page loads anyway and tells you so.
Headlines on the home page come from a public crypto newsroom, but your browser never contacts the publisher for them: this site retrieves the stories and their images and delivers them itself. A story shows where it came from, and you reach the publisher's own site only by choosing to open it.
Storage and retention
The servers that store your data sit inside the European Economic Area. Any processing by a provider beyond it takes place under standard contractual clauses covering the transfer.
Financial regulation sets how long account and trading records are kept, generally a minimum of five years from account closure. Technical logs are kept far more briefly, for a matter of months.
Once we no longer need it, anything outside a retention obligation is deleted.
Your rights
A portable export of the personal data we hold about you.
Inaccurate details corrected, and anything we have no duty to keep erased.
The right to object to processing based on legitimate interest, and to have processing limited during a dispute over accuracy.
You may complain to your national data protection authority if our answer leaves you unsatisfied. Requests go to the address on the contact page, cost nothing, and are answered within one month.
Cookies and browser storage
Two settings are saved in your browser by this website: your theme and your language. They never leave your device and are sent nowhere; they only make the site look the same on your next visit.
On the platform, a session cookie keeps you signed in; clearing it signs you out.
Updates to this policy
Before any change that affects how your data is used takes effect, we will let you know by email. This page is dated at the top, and that date always marks the version in force.
