At The Fintech Zoom (“we”, “our”, “us”), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard data when you visit https://thefintechzoom.co.uk/ (the “Website”).
1. Introduction
We believe that privacy is not just a legal requirement — it’s a matter of trust. Our goal is to be transparent about how we handle your data, to ensure you can enjoy our content with confidence.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
- Personal Information: such as your name and email address, when you subscribe to newsletters, contact us, or submit feedback.
- Usage Data: including browser type, device information, IP address, and pages visited, collected automatically through analytics tools and cookies.
- Cookies: small data files that help us understand user behaviour, improve performance, and personalise content.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve our website and services.
- Respond to your messages, feedback, or inquiries.
- Send newsletters or updates (only if you’ve opted in).
- Monitor site performance, analytics, and security.
- Comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
4. Legal Basis for Processing (UK & EU Users)
If you are located in the United Kingdom or European Union, we process your personal data under the following lawful bases:
- Consent: You have given clear permission for us to process your data (e.g., subscribing to our newsletter).
- Legitimate Interests: To analyse, improve, and protect our content and platform.
- Legal Obligation: When required by law to disclose or retain data.
5. Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies and third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our site. Cookies help us track basic usage metrics, not personal identities. You can disable cookies through your browser settings if you prefer.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us directly.
7. Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and you use our Website at your own risk.
8. Sharing of Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share limited data with trusted third parties that assist us in operating the website, analytics, or communications — all bound by confidentiality agreements.

You have the following rights regarding your personal information:
- The right to access your data.
- The right to request correction or deletion of your data.
- The right to withdraw consent at any time.

Our Website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those websites before providing any personal data.
11. Children’s Privacy
The Fintech Zoom does not knowingly collect data from individuals under the age of 16. If you believe that a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will delete it promptly.
12. International Data Transfers
As our servers or service providers may operate globally, your data may be transferred outside the UK or EU. In such cases, we ensure appropriate safeguards, such as data protection agreements or Standard Contractual Clauses.
