About Us

INQDATA is a technology provider with offices in the United Kingdom.

INQDATA’s technology is used to manage, deliver and analyse high-value, high-performance financial market data to the largest and most demanding wholesale financial institutions.

The Data We Collect About you

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you, which we have grouped together as follows:

  • Business contact information – (e.g. your name, mailing address, telephone number and/or email address)

  • Usage Data – includes information about how you use our website, products and services.

  • Marketing and Communications Data – includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and your communication preferences.

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data, such as statistical or demographic data, for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data, which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data), nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

How is your personal data collected?

We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

  • Direct interactions. You may give us your business contact information by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by phone, email or otherwise. This includes personal data you provide when you purchase a product or service, sign up to or attend our events or webinars, face-to-face through networking, download content or software from our website or give us feedback/contact us.

  • Automated technologies or interactions. As you interact with our website, we may collect technical data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns. We collect this personal data by using cookies and other similar technologies.

  • Third parties or publicly available sources. We may receive personal data about you in the form of business contact data from various third-party providers and public sources.

How we use your personal data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Where we need to perform the contract that we are about to enter or have entered into with you.

Legal basis for processing the personal data

INQDATA relies on several different legal grounds for processing personal data, including a performance of a contract, consent and legitimate interest, depending on the circumstances surrounding the processing.

INQDATA may process personal data pursuant to specific purposes which are in our interests and that enable us to enhance the services we provide. For example, we may process Personal Data pursuant to legitimate business purposes to respond to your inquiries, fulfil your requests, or send you marketing information and offers.

If you are an individual from the EEA, our legal basis for collecting and using personal data will depend on the personal data concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we normally rely on our legitimate interests to collect personal data from you, except where such interests are overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.

If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you, and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

International Transfers

Personal data collected or received for the purposes outlined above may be transferred to and stored in INQDATA servers in the United States of America. We will protect your personal data in accordance with this Notice wherever it is processed.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.

  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts known as the EU Model Clauses, which the European Commission has approved and give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

  • Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield, which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instruction and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected, received or obtained it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation with respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
