Northstar Research (“we,” “our,” “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you use our financial services information platform (the “Service”), whether you are located in the United States or the United Kingdom/European Union. We comply with applicable privacy laws, including U.S. privacy legislation such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, and the U.K./EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We collect personal information directly from you, automatically through your use of our services, and in some cases from third parties. Information you may provide includes your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, account login details, payment details, and your communication history with us. We also collect information automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, and usage data including the pages you visit, the links you click, and the time spent on our platform. Cookies, tracking pixels, and analytics tools may also be used. In some cases, we may receive publicly available information about you from business directories or social media platforms, as well as from our partners and service providers.
Your personal information is used to deliver and improve our services, to manage your account, and to communicate with you about updates, newsletters, and other relevant information. We use your information to process payments and manage subscriptions, to personalize your experience, and to ensure compliance with legal obligations. We may also use it for research, analytics, fraud detection, and marketing purposes.
If you are located in the United Kingdom or European Union, we process your personal data based on specific legal grounds. These include the necessity to fulfill a contract with you, your consent where required, our legitimate interests such as improving services or preventing fraud, and compliance with applicable legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information. However, we may share it with trusted service providers who perform functions such as payment processing, cloud hosting, and analytics. We may share information with business partners who assist in delivering content or insights. We may also disclose information to regulatory authorities if required by law or in order to protect our legal rights. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or corporate reorganization, your information may be transferred to a successor entity.
Because we operate globally, your personal information may be transferred outside your country of residence, including to the United States and the United Kingdom. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure your data remains protected in accordance with GDPR requirements.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide services, fulfill legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. The length of time we retain data varies depending on the nature of the information and our legal or business requirements.
If you are a resident of the United Kingdom or European Union, you have the right to access the data we hold about you, to request corrections of inaccurate information, to request deletion, to restrict or object to certain processing activities, and to request portability of your personal data. You also have the right to withdraw consent where our processing is based on consent, and to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.
If you are a resident of the United States, including California, you may have rights to know what categories of information we collect, to request access to your personal data, and to request deletion. You may also have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data, although Northstar Research does not sell personal data. You have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.
Requests to exercise your rights can be submitted by contacting us at [Insert contact email].
We use cookies and other tracking technologies to ensure the functionality of our website, to analyze user behavior, to improve performance, and, where permitted, to provide tailored advertising. You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. For users in the United Kingdom and European Union, a cookie banner will allow you to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
Our services are not directed to children under the age of 16 in the United Kingdom or European Union or under the age of 13 in the United States. We do not knowingly collect information from such children, and if we discover that we have inadvertently done so, we will delete the information promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updates will be posted on this page with the new effective date. Continued use of our services following such updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
