Our use of cookies is intended to enhance your experience with our Services and is based on our legitimate interest in providing optimized services. This constitutes the legal basis for the data processing activities described.
The App does not use cookies for session data storage.

TheFBTC utilizes Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect sensitive information shared by Clients. This technology ensures that data remains secure during transmission and is safeguarded against unauthorized interception. We are dedicated to maintaining web servers that adhere to industry standards for security.
Additional protective measures, such as firewalls, authentication systems (including passwords and PINs), and access control protocols, are employed to prevent unauthorized access to our systems and data. These security measures are designed to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of client information. TheFBTC retains the right to select data protection technologies and methods at its discretion and may collaborate with trusted contractors in this area.
TheFBTC may share Clients’ personal information with its affiliated entities for legitimate business reasons. This includes activities such as managing accounts and informing Clients about new products and services that might be of interest, in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Such sharing is conducted in line with legal requirements and aims to enhance the overall client experience.
Affiliated partners can access Clients’ private information only when requested by TheFBTC and with the mandatory consent of the individual Client. Each instance of access by an affiliate is logged, and this log is available for Clients to review. The log records include the time of access, the name of the affiliate partner, and the type of information accessed.
TheFBTC is dedicated to protecting the confidentiality of Clients’ personal information and will not share it with third parties except as detailed in this Privacy Policy. Nonetheless, there are situations where such disclosure may be required.
This includes sharing information with Non-Affiliated Partners of TheFBTC who provide essential technical support for Client accounts or assist with transactions. These Non-Affiliated Partners may consist of professionals, legal advisors, or accounting firms offering their expertise. It is crucial that these partners adhere to strict confidentiality requirements and use the personal information solely for the purposes authorized by TheFBTC.
Additionally, TheFBTC may release Clients’ personal information to third parties if directed by the Client or with their explicit consent. This might occur when a Client requests specific services or authorizes TheFBTC to share their data with a particular third party. Any disclosure of personal information will strictly follow the Client’s instructions and consent. TheFBTC assures Clients that their personal information will never be sold, leased, or distributed for any form of compensation or under any other circumstances.
In certain specific situations, TheFBTC may need to disclose a Client’s personal information to third parties in order to comply with relevant laws and regulations.

Any such disclosures will be made in accordance with applicable legal standards and procedures.
TheFBTC is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of Clients’ personal information. Unless explicitly stated in this Privacy Policy or communicated to the Client at the time of disclosure, personal information will not be used for purposes other than those outlined. Should there be a need to use the information for additional reasons not covered by this Privacy Policy, TheFBTC will seek the Client’s explicit consent. Personal information may be disclosed to regulatory authorities or law enforcement in response to subpoenas or official requests, or as needed to safeguard TheFBTC’s rights or property. TheFBTC retains the right to use Client information for other purposes if clearly stated at the time of disclosure or with the Client’s express permission, ensuring transparency about the intended use of the information in such cases.
Clients have the option to decline providing certain personal information requested by TheFBTC. However, it’s important to understand that withholding this information might prevent TheFBTC from setting up or maintaining an account or delivering other requested services. Accurate and complete personal information is often necessary to meet legal and regulatory obligations and to ensure the effective functioning of the Client’s account and services.
TheFBTC is committed to keeping Client information current and precise to deliver dependable and high-quality services. Clients are also vital in this process by informing TheFBTC of any changes to their personal details. Timely updates, such as changes in contact information, employment status, or other relevant details, help ensure that the services provided are based on the most accurate and up-to-date information. This proactive communication allows TheFBTC to keep an accurate profile and effectively meet the Client’s needs.
If a Client prefers that their personal information not be shared with third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, they can use a designated contact form to express their preference.

If changes are made to the Privacy Policy, the Company will notify Clients by posting an update on our official website and sending a message via our internal mail system.
Notices posted on the Company’s website and messages sent through the internal mail system will be deemed sufficient to inform Clients of any amendments, regardless of whether the Client reviews and acknowledges the changes or not.

In the event that a new law requires changes or additions to the Privacy Policy, the new legal requirements will apply immediately upon the effective date of the legislation, regardless of whether the policy has been updated to reflect these changes. Any conflicting provisions in the current Privacy Policy will become invalid once the required amendments are made.
