1. Commitment to Information Security
Pillar Meridode ("Company," "we," "our," or "us") values your privacy and is dedicated to managing your personal data transparently, securely, and ethically. This Privacy Policy details our operational protocols regarding the collection, storage, utilization, and dissemination of personal and technical data when you engage with our web portal and automated software services.
Our data handling practices comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada, alongside applicable provincial data protection standards and internationally acknowledged fair information principles.
2. Categories of Information Collected
In operating our algorithmic market intelligence platform, we may gather several distinct classes of information:
- Direct Identification Data: Full name, verified email address, contact telephone number, and residential jurisdiction provided during initial onboarding or contact requests.
- Technical and Telemetry Metrics: Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser architecture, operating system configurations, device fingerprints, screen resolutions, and referral URLs collected automatically through encrypted server session logs.
- Operational and Interaction Logs: Algorithmic preferences, interface interactions, latency telemetry, timestamped feature usage, and diagnostic crash analytics.
- Transactional Routing Data: Encrypted API pairing tokens, network transaction identifiers, and public verification keys required to route algorithmic triggers to independent broker environments. We do not store or hold private custodial spending keys.
3. Purposes and Lawful Bases of Processing
We process your personal and technical data exclusively under valid legal grounds and defined business objectives, including:
- Service Delivery: Facilitating platform connectivity, delivering real-time algorithmic telemetry, and verifying technological operational uptime.
- Account Verification and Security: Detecting bot networks, mitigating distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) threats, preventing fraudulent impersonation, and maintaining access controls.
- Regulatory and Compliance Mandates: Satisfying anti-money laundering obligations, fraud screening expectations, and standard tax or corporate reporting rules.
- System Refinement: Conducting aggregate, non-identifying computational modeling to optimize algorithmic response speeds and user interface responsiveness.
4. Cookie Architecture and Tracking Telemetry
The Platform utilizes strictly necessary, performance, and operational cookies to deliver core functions:
- Essential Cookies: Required to preserve secure session state, balance load between nodes, and enforce security controls.
- Functional Cookies: Retain interface display preferences, such as telemetry chart configurations and color scheme variables.
- Analytical Cookies: Provide aggregated statistics concerning visitor flows and page responsiveness to guide platform engineering.
You can adjust your cookie settings through your personal web browser controls; however, disabling certain technical cookies may impede the normal performance of our automated tools.
5. Information Sharing and Disclosure
Pillar Meridode does not rent, sell, or commercialize your personal information to third-party marketing entities. Information is shared strictly under controlled circumstances:
- Independent Broker Partners: When you initiate an API connection or broker pairing request, relevant account identifiers are routed securely to enable trade routing.
- Infrastructure Providers: Trusted enterprise cloud hosts, security auditors, database administrators, and customer communication providers operating under strict confidentiality and data-processing covenants.
- Legal and Regulatory Enquiries: Disclosures made pursuant to formal court orders, subpoenas, or lawful requests issued by Canadian or international regulatory enforcement bodies.
6. International Data Transfers and Storage Safeguards
Your information may be stored and processed on secure cloud infrastructure located within Canada, the United States, or member states of the European Economic Area. When data crosses geographic borders, we enforce standard contractual safeguards, modern encryption in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256), and rigorous perimeter firewalls to maintain uniform data protection.
7. Data Retention and User Rights
We preserve personal information only for the duration necessary to deliver our services, fulfill statutory record-keeping requirements, and resolve potential legal disputes. Under Canadian privacy legislation, you maintain specific rights over your information:
- Access and Verification: You may request confirmation of personal records maintained by Pillar Meridode.
- Rectification: You are entitled to correct inaccurate, obsolete, or incomplete personal entries.
- Erasure and Withdrawal of Consent: Subject to mandatory legal record-keeping covenants, you may request the deletion of your account information or withdraw consent for non-essential processing.
