Privacy Policy

This policy explains how aarthiq ("aarthiq", "we", "us") handles information collected through this website and through the delivery of bespoke algorithmic trading system development services to our clients. It applies to visitors to aarthiq.com and to individuals who contact us about a project.

1. Information we collect

We collect information you give us directly, such as your name, email address, company name and project details submitted through our contact form or by email. We also collect limited technical information automatically, such as browser type, device type, pages visited and referring pages, to help us understand how the site is used.

2. How we use information

• To respond to enquiries and scope potential engagements.
• To prepare proposals, statements of work and related project documentation.
• To operate, secure and improve this website.
• To send occasional updates about our services, where you've asked to hear from us.

3. Cookies & similar technologies

This site uses a minimal set of cookies and locally stored preferences required for basic functionality, and may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or sell browsing data.

4. Confidentiality of project & strategy information

Where a project brief, scoping call or engagement involves details of your trading strategy, models or proprietary logic, we treat that information as strictly confidential. We're glad to sign a non-disclosure agreement before any substantive discussion of strategy logic, and internally restrict access to client strategy details to the engineers actively working on that engagement.

5. How we share information

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with trusted service providers who support our operations, such as email delivery, hosting and scheduling tools, under confidentiality obligations consistent with this policy. We may disclose information where required by law.

6. Data retention

We retain enquiry and project information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your request, deliver an engagement, and meet our legal, accounting and contractual obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymised.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you're located, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or port the personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or operational reasons. We'll update the "last updated" date above when we do.
