1. Who we are

Gruidae Technologies Limited provides technology services to companies in the financial industry. For the purposes of applicable data-protection law, we are the data controller for personal data processed through this website. You can reach us at info@gruidaetech.com.

2. Data we collect

We aim to collect as little personal data as possible. Depending on how you interact with us, this may include:

Information you give us. If you contact us — for example by using the contact form or emailing us — we receive your name, email address, any company name, and the contents of your message.
Technical and usage data. Like most websites, our hosting and content-delivery providers automatically process limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, and the pages you request. This is used to deliver the site securely and reliably.
Cookie data. Information stored on your device as described in the Cookies section below.

We do not knowingly collect special-category data and ask that you do not send it to us through this website.

3. How we use your data

To respond to your enquiries and communicate with you.
To provide, operate, secure, and maintain this website.
To understand how the site is used so we can improve it (only where you have consented to non-essential cookies).
To comply with our legal obligations and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

4. Legal bases for processing

Where data-protection law (such as the UK GDPR / EU GDPR) applies, we rely on the following legal bases:

Consent — for non-essential cookies and any optional communications. You can withdraw consent at any time.
Legitimate interests — to respond to enquiries, to run and secure our website, and to prevent misuse, balanced against your rights.
Legal obligation — where we are required to process data to comply with the law.

We share personal data only with trusted service providers who process it on our behalf and under appropriate contractual safeguards, including:

Hosting & content delivery — our website is served from cloud infrastructure (Amazon Web Services).
Email — business email and message delivery are handled through our email provider (Google Workspace).
Professional advisers and authorities — where required by law or to protect our rights.

Some providers may process data outside your country. Where they do, appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) are used.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them in two categories:

Strictly necessary

These are required for the website to function and to remember your cookie choice. They do not track you across other sites and cannot be switched off through the banner.

Optional / analytics

With your consent, we may use cookies or similar technologies to measure how the site is used so we can improve it. These are off by default and are only enabled if you select "Accept" in our cookie banner.

When you first visit, our banner lets you Accept or Decline optional cookies. You can change your choice at any time by selecting Cookie preferences. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though strictly necessary cookies are needed for the site to work properly.

At present, this website does not load advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If that changes, this policy and the cookie banner will be updated before such cookies are used.

7. How long we keep data

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy — for example, to handle your enquiry and any follow-up — and then delete or anonymise it, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

8. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data; to object to processing; to data portability; and to withdraw consent. Where the GDPR applies, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@gruidaetech.com.

9. Security

This website is served exclusively over encrypted HTTPS, and we apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be reflected on this page.

11. Contact us

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, contact us at info@gruidaetech.com.

This policy is provided as general information and does not constitute legal advice. We recommend reviewing it against your specific legal and regulatory obligations.
