Privacy Policy

How the Westrelaine website handles contact enquiries and technical information, and how to ask questions or exercise applicable privacy rights.

Leave your details and speak with our team.

Personal information

Definitions and responsible contact

Personal data means information relating to an identifiable person. Usage data is technical information about an interaction with the website. A cookie is a small item stored by a browser. A controller determines a processing purpose, while a processor handles information for a controller under instructions.

The website operator and contact for website enquiry data is Westrelaine Technologies Canada Ltd., trading as Westrelaine. Contact the Client Operations and Compliance Desk at [email protected] or 150 Elgin Street, Suite 800, Ottawa, Ontario K2P 1L4, Canada. Ask for the privacy contact if your request concerns personal information.

An identified financial provider may act as a separate controller for account, payment or verification records. Its privacy notice should explain its own responsibilities. This website notice does not establish that Westrelaine controls every record held by an exchange or broker.

Personal information

Personal data collected

The registration form requests first name, last name, email and telephone number. A support enquiry also contains the message, attachments you choose to provide and subsequent correspondence. These details are used to respond to the request and organise the contact you asked for.

Please do not send passwords, API secrets, wallet recovery phrases or payment card details through the form or email. Identity documents should be provided only through the secure process identified by the actual service provider. We do not describe the public registration form as an identity-document upload system.

Personal information

Usage data and location context

Website requests and the installed form infrastructure may process an IP address, browser or device information, request time, referring page and language or country context. This helps deliver the page, adapt telephone input or location context, and investigate technical problems or abusive requests.

A country estimate based on a network address is not necessarily your residence. Tell the team your actual location when eligibility matters. Technical information should not be used as a substitute for a provider’s verification procedures.

Personal information

Cookies and third-party resources

Browser storage and cookies may support form operation, preferences or embedded resources. Pages can load a market ticker and office maps from third parties; those providers receive connection information when their resources are requested and apply their own notices.

The website loads a Google Analytics tag to measure use of pages and interactions. Google processes information under its own privacy terms. You can manage cookies and third-party requests in your browser; blocking them can affect some functionality. Advertising or retargeting is not represented as enabled merely because analytics is configured.

Personal information

Collection and use of information

Information is processed to answer enquiries, provide requested introductions or assistance, operate forms, troubleshoot access and protect infrastructure. Records may also be needed to handle complaints, demonstrate communication choices or respond to a lawful request.

If a new purpose requires further consent or notice, it should be explained before the information is used for that purpose. We do not treat a request for a calculation as consent to every possible promotional use. Only information relevant to the purpose should be requested.

Personal information

Legal bases and GDPR

Applicable privacy requirements depend on the activity, entity and jurisdiction. Canadian commercial handling may be subject to PIPEDA or applicable provincial law; Australian handling may be subject to the Privacy Act and Australian Privacy Principles where they apply. The relevant operator must assess its obligations.

Where GDPR applies, processing can rely on steps requested before a contract or performance of a contract, a legal obligation, a properly assessed legitimate interest or consent as appropriate. Optional marketing consent is separate from necessary service contact and can be withdrawn. Merely making a Canadian website accessible does not establish every GDPR obligation.

For website contact requests, the relevant purpose is to respond to the user’s enquiry. Security processing supports the protection of infrastructure and users, subject to applicable safeguards and rights. Ask the privacy contact which basis applies to a specific record or use.

Personal information

Retention of records

Records should be retained only for the purpose that justifies keeping them or for an applicable legal requirement. The precise operational retention periods are not published as verified durations on this website. Ask the privacy contact for the period and deletion criteria applicable to your record.

Retention can be extended where a complaint, dispute or legal preservation obligation requires it. That does not justify retaining all records indefinitely. A regulated provider’s KYC and transaction retention duties are separate from the public website’s enquiry handling.

Retention of records
RecordRetention criterion
Contact details and enquiryWhile needed to answer and follow up the request; then review for deletion.
Support correspondenceWhile needed to resolve the issue and any applicable complaint or claim period.
Technical logsFor the limited operational or security investigation purpose and any legal requirement.
Marketing preferencesWhile necessary to evidence consent and honour opt-out choices.
Provider KYC or transactionsUnder the named provider’s legal duties and published schedule, if applicable.

Personal information

Transfers and recipients

The installed registration infrastructure sends submitted form information, including contact and technical context, to an external lead-processing service so that the request can be routed. Staff and necessary IT or communications suppliers may also handle an enquiry. Before an introduction or account activation, ask the desk to identify the receiving financial provider and its privacy notice. Affiliated companies should receive information only where necessary and lawful.

Service systems can operate in more than one country. Before a transfer that requires notice or safeguards, the responsible operator must consider applicable requirements and the recipient’s protection of the information. Contact the team for the recipients and locations relevant to your request.

Personal information

Disclosure to authorities and other parties

Information may be disclosed when required by a valid legal obligation or lawful authority, or when justified to investigate fraud, protect rights or address a security incident. The scope should be limited to what the relevant purpose and law require.

A website enquiry does not automatically justify giving contact details to every broker, advertiser or regulator. Requests should be assessed and unnecessary disclosure avoided. Account-specific regulatory reporting belongs to the entity responsible for that regulated activity.

Personal information

Security and access restrictions

Personal information should be handled with safeguards appropriate to its sensitivity, including controlled access and secure communication. No transmission or storage system is completely immune to failure. Do not assume that a public page proves a specific database encryption or certification arrangement.

Send only the information needed for an enquiry and use the provider’s secure document channel for sensitive verification records. If you believe information has been exposed, contact support with a description and remove credentials from attachments. The security page explains practical steps for protecting account access.

Personal information

Your privacy rights

Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or object to certain processing. You may withdraw consent where processing relies on it and ask to stop optional marketing. Some requests can be limited by another person’s rights, legal retention requirements or a lawful exception.

Send your request to [email protected] and describe the information or processing involved. We may need proportionate confirmation of identity to avoid giving your data to someone else. Do not include an identity document in the first email unless a secure procedure has been agreed.

The team should explain how the request is handled, any lawful limitation and the relevant complaint route. Applicable response deadlines depend on the jurisdiction and type of request; the usual support acknowledgement is not a promise that every privacy request will be completed within one business day.

Personal information

Service providers, analytics and advertising

Hosting, form infrastructure, communication tools and embedded resources can involve external providers. Their role should be limited to the required function and governed by appropriate responsibilities. An external account provider can process information under its own notice rather than as our processor.

Google Analytics is configured in the website header. Its actual data retention and account settings should be confirmed with the website privacy contact. No separate advertising or retargeting configuration is asserted here. If further marketing technology is introduced, its purposes and applicable choices must be disclosed.

Personal information

External sites and children

Links and embedded resources can lead to sites with their own privacy practices. Read their notices before submitting information. Our notice cannot control what an unrelated website collects.

The website is intended for adults and does not invite children to register for financial services. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact the privacy desk so that the circumstances can be reviewed and appropriate action taken.

Personal information

Changes and contact

This notice may be updated when the website, processing activities or applicable requirements change. The current version is published here; material changes that require further notice or consent must be handled as applicable. Publication alone does not make an undisclosed processing purpose lawful.

Published version: 18 September 2026. For access, correction, deletion, communication preferences or questions about a recipient or retention period, contact [email protected] and mark the subject Privacy. You may also contact the competent privacy authority where applicable.

Your next step

Ask questions before you begin.

Understand the features, costs and risks before making a decision. Registration does not require a payment and does not guarantee access to every service.
