Privacy policy

Last updated 26 September 2026. We collect what is needed to run an account and meet our obligations, and we would rather tell you plainly what that is.

Who is responsible

The controller of your personal data is FDO Software LTD, registered in England & Wales under company number 17366935, registered office 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom. For any question about this policy, or to exercise a right below, write to support@fundedportal.com.

Because we are established in the United Kingdom, our supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Where we are required to appoint a representative in the European Union, the representative's name and address are published here and in the legal information. Either way, you can always complain to the supervisory authority of the country you live in — you are never required to go through a representative, or through us, to do so.

What we collect

Account dataName, email, country, password (stored hashed)
Identity dataIdentity document and verification result, where verification is required, together with the identity or passport number you enter and the details read from the document (name, date of birth, nationality, country of issue, document type). The image of the document is deleted 90 days after the verification decision — see how long we keep it below
Payment dataTransaction record and status. Card details are handled by the payment provider, not by us
Trading dataOrders, positions, equity history on your assessment account
Technical dataIP address, device and browser, sign-in events, security logs
Device dataA device fingerprint — a value derived from your browser and device configuration — read when you register, sign in and buy
Integrity dataMatches between accounts, risk flags, and the results of automated checks for prohibited practices
Screening dataResults of sanctions-list screening, carried out before a reward is paid
Payout dataThe bank account or crypto wallet you ask us to pay to, billing details and invoices
Activity recordsAn audit trail of actions taken on your account, by you and by us
Support dataWhat you write to us, our replies, and notes our staff add to your record
Partner dataIf you join our partner programme, the referrals attributed to you and the commission calculated on them
Analytics and advertising dataOnly if you allow it in the cookie banner. The pages you open, how you arrived (linking site, campaign tags, ad-click identifiers), browser and device type, approximate location, and on the checkout that you started a checkout, placed an order or completed a purchase, with plan, amount and currency. Collected through Google Analytics 4 and the Meta pixel; it does not include your name, contact details, documents, payment details or trading activity

We would rather list too much here than too little. If you find something we process that is not on this list, tell us — that is a defect in this page, not a detail.

Why we collect it

  • To provide the service — creating your account, running the assessment, enforcing the published limits, releasing rewards. Legal basis: performance of the contract.
  • To meet legal obligations — identity and anti-money-laundering checks, accounting records, responding to lawful requests. Legal basis: legal obligation.
  • To keep the platform safe — detecting prohibited practices, account sharing, duplicate accounts and payment fraud. This is what the device fingerprint is for. Legal basis: our legitimate interest, which specifically is keeping one person to one account where the rules require it, and preventing payment fraud. We have written down why we think that interest outweighs the intrusion; ask and we will explain the reasoning.
  • To meet sanctions obligations — screening against sanctions lists before a reward is paid. Sanctions law applies to everyone, not only to regulated firms. Legal basis: legal obligation.
  • To communicate — service messages about your account: orders, payments, verification and security. They are part of the service, so you receive them whatever you choose below. Legal basis: performance of the contract.
  • To tell you about our own programme — occasional email about new routes, changes and offers from FundedPortal, never on anyone else’s behalf. When you create an account, the same form has a box to refuse them. If you leave that box unticked, we may send them: this is the “soft opt-in” UK law allows a business for its own customers and similar products (PECR regulation 22), and the legal basis is our legitimate interest in telling customers about our own programme. If you register with a Turkish phone number or from Turkey, we send them only if you tick the box yourself, because Turkish law requires prior consent for commercial email; there the legal basis is your consent. Anyone who had an account before 24 September 2026 keeps the promise made then: no marketing email unless you switch it on. Stopping is always free, needs no reason and changes nothing else about your account — see Your rights.
  • To measure the website and our advertising — how the site and the checkout are used, and whether our ads bring visitors and purchases. Legal basis: your consent, given in the cookie banner. You can withdraw it at any time from Cookie settings at the bottom of every page, and saying no changes nothing else.

Who processes it

We use service providers who process data on our behalf under contract. They may only use it to provide their service to us, and they may not use it for their own purposes.

HostingContabo GmbH (Germany), servers in France. Holds everything described above, because it hosts the application and its database.
Identity verificationDidit Identity Spain, S.L. (Barcelona, Spain) checks that your identity document is genuine, performs the liveness check, and compares your selfie against the portrait on the document. You present the document and the selfie on its own page; it returns the result together with the details read from the document — name, date of birth, nationality, country of issue, document type. It receives no payment, trading or account history data, and we deliberately do not collect your gender, marital status, place of birth or the video of the document capture. Processing takes place inside the European Economic Area. The accept-or-decline decision remains ours. In use since 25 August 2026.
Card paymentsA third-party payment provider takes the card payment directly and performs its own identity checks. We never receive your card details. That provider is a controller in its own right for what it collects from you, under its own privacy policy. Card payments are not switched on at present. The provider is named in this row before the first card payment is taken, and this page is updated the same day.
Crypto paymentsWhere you pay in cryptocurrency at checkout, Confirmo (Czech Republic) processes the payment. It receives the order amount and currency, an order reference, the plan name and your email address — so it can contact you about an underpaid or refunded invoice — and the blockchain transaction itself; never your identity documents. Where you pay by transferring to an address we give you, the transaction is settled directly on the blockchain and no processor is involved.
Location lookupWhen you register or buy, we resolve the country and region behind your network address to apply our restricted-jurisdiction list. That lookup is made by an outside service (currently ip-api.com, operated from outside the EEA), which receives your IP address and nothing else — no name, no account, no payment data. The answer is cached so the same address is not looked up repeatedly. The visitor count described further down does not use this service.
Email and SMS deliveryA delivery provider transmits account emails, and where phone verification is switched on, verification messages. It receives your address or number and the message content, nothing else.
Market dataFastForex (forex and metals) and Binance (crypto, shares and commodities) supply the prices the simulation runs on. They receive no personal data — prices flow to us, not your identity to them.
Website analyticsGoogle Ireland Limited (Dublin, Ireland), with Google LLC (United States), runs Google Analytics 4 for us — only if you allow analytics cookies. It receives the analytics data described above, processes it on our behalf under Google's data processing terms, and keeps it for 14 months. We have switched off the settings that would let Google use it for its own products, benchmarking or support access. In use since 18 September 2026.
Advertising measurementMeta Platforms Ireland Limited (Dublin, Ireland), with Meta Platforms, Inc. (United States), receives page views and checkout events through the Meta pixel — only if you allow advertising cookies. For collecting and sending that data, Meta and we are joint controllers; what Meta does with it afterwards, including showing you our ads on Facebook and Instagram, is Meta's responsibility under its own privacy policy. We do not send Meta your name, email address or phone number, and the pixel's automatic matching of form data is switched off. In use since 18 September 2026.

Without your consent, neither Google Analytics nor the Meta pixel is loaded, and nothing on this site reports your visit to either of them. We also count visits to the public website ourselves, on our own servers; that count sends nothing to anyone and needs no consent, which is why it adds no name here. We do not use a session-recording or heat-mapping tool. If any of this changes, this list changes first.

We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it with data brokers.

Where it is stored

Your data is stored on servers in France, operated on our behalf by Contabo GmbH, a hosting provider established in Germany. Both are inside the European Economic Area, so the transfer from the United Kingdom — where we are established — relies on the UK's adequacy regulations for the EEA rather than on standard contractual clauses. Where a provider named above is outside the EEA, that specific transfer is covered by the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the Addendum to the EU standard contractual clauses. Google and Meta may process the analytics and advertising data in the United States; that transfer relies on the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, under which Google LLC and Meta Platforms, Inc. are both certified.

How long we keep it

We keep data for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected for, or for as long as the law requires — whichever is longer. In practice:

Account and trading recordsWhile the account is open, then 6 years. This covers our accounting and tax obligations and the period in which a claim about the contract could still be brought.
Identity document images90 days after the verification decision. The scan of your passport or ID card is then deleted from our storage. We keep the result of the check rather than the picture: an image we no longer hold cannot be taken from us in a breach, and keeping it for years would not make the check any more provable.
Verification and screening records5 years after the relationship ends — what was checked, the outcome, who reviewed it and when, and the sanctions-screening result. This is the evidence that the check was carried out, and five years is the period anti-money-laundering practice sets for verification records.
Security logs12 months, unless a log is attached to an open investigation.
Device fingerprint records24 months from the last time the value was seen. See the cookie notice.
Support correspondence3 years from the last message in the thread.
Complaint files6 years from the final response. See complaints.
Marketing email choicesWhat you chose when you signed up and each later change, with the date and the policy version you were shown. Kept for as long as you receive these emails; otherwise 2 years from your last choice, as evidence of what you chose and when.
Analytics data14 months in Google Analytics, then deleted by Google. The cookie-banner choice itself is kept on your device for 6 months. Meta keeps pixel data under its own policy.

After the period ends the data is deleted or anonymised. Two things override the table: material attached to an open investigation, complaint or legal claim is kept until that ends, and anything we are ordered to preserve is preserved.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to access your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to processing, receive it in a portable form, and complain to a supervisory authority. Write to support@fundedportal.com and we will respond within the period the applicable law sets.

Marketing email is different: you can stop it at any time, and we will not ask why. Your right to object to direct marketing is absolute — there is no balancing test. Switch off Campaign emails in your account, or use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of these emails: it works with one click and needs no sign-in. We stop straight away.

Some data we cannot delete on request — records we are legally required to retain, for example. Where that applies we will say so and explain why.

You can complain to us first, and we would rather you did. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office whether or not you come to us first.

Decisions made automatically

Some things here happen without a person looking at them. A limit breach ends an assessment the moment it is crossed. A sanctions-list match blocks a payout. A duplicate-account or fraud signal can suspend an account. That is deliberate — a rule you can only discover by breaking it is not a rule.

Automatic does not mean final. Where an automated decision affects your account you can ask for a person to review it, tell us why you think it is wrong, and get an explanation of what triggered it. Write to support@fundedportal.com or open a support request from your account panel and say you want a human review.

Two limits, stated honestly. Where a sanctions match is involved we may be unable to give you the details, because doing so can itself be unlawful. And where the trigger was a fraud-detection signal we will explain enough for you to answer it, without publishing a map of how to defeat the check.

Cookies and device tracking

We use cookies to keep you signed in and to remember display preferences such as light or dark theme, and we read a device fingerprint at registration, sign-in and purchase to detect duplicate accounts and payment fraud.

Two optional tools run only with your consent: Google Analytics 4 and the Meta pixel. The cookie banner asks before either of them loads; until you answer, and if you say no, nothing on this site reports your visit to a third party. There is no heat-mapping and no session recording.

We do count visits to the public website, with our own measurement that writes nothing to your device. There is no cookie for it and no identifier that follows you: the key that stops one person being counted twice is derived from a secret that changes every day, so tomorrow the same browser is a different, unlinkable key. Your IP address is never stored for this count, and the country in it is read from a database on our own server rather than an outside service. (The separate restricted-jurisdiction check at registration and purchase does use an outside lookup — it is listed in the table above.) The cookie notice sets out exactly what is and is not recorded.

Because that measurement keeps no lasting identifier, it needs no consent. The two optional tools do store an identifier on your device, which is why the banner asks before switching them on, not after. The cookie notice lists their cookies and lifetimes, and you can change your answer from Cookie settings at the bottom of every page.

You can clear or block cookies in your browser, though signing in will stop working if you block the ones that carry your session.

Children

This service is not for anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes to this policy

The date at the top of this page is the date of the version you are reading, and it changes every time the policy does. If a change affects how we use information you have already given us, we tell you by email or in your account before it applies to you. A change to this policy never switches on marketing email for anyone who was not offered the choice described above.
