Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. Accordingly, we have developed this policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate and make use of personal information. The following outlines our privacy policy.

When accessing the https://apexfutures.com website, we will learn certain information about you during your visit.

Similar to other commercial websites, our website utilizes a standard technology called ‘cookies’ (see explanation below) and server logs to collect information about how our site is used. Information gathered through cookies and server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our site, and the websites visited just before and just after our own, as well as your IP address.

Use of Cookies

A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

IP Addresses

IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data known as “traffic data” so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.

Privacy Policy – California Supplement
(As provided by California Civil Code Section 1798.83)

A California resident who has provided personal data to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (a “California Customer”) may request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure or personal data, upon receipt of a request by a California Customer, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom personal data was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal data that were disclosed. California Customers may request further information about our compliance with this law by emailing info@apexfutures.com. Please note that ApexFutures (“Apex” or “the firm”) is required to respond to one request per California Customer each year and that the firm is not required to respond to requests made by means other than through the email address above.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
This section applies only to California residents. It describes how the firm collects, uses and shares Personal Information of California residents in operating its business, and their rights with respect to that Personal Information. For purposes of this section, “Personal Information” has the meaning given in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) but does not include information exempted from the scope of the CCPA.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
As a California resident, you have the rights listed below. However, these rights are not absolute, and in certain cases the firm may decline your request as permitted by law.

INFORMATION
You can request the following information about how the firm has collected and used your Personal Information during the past 12 months: the categories of Personal Information the firm has collected; the categories of sources from which the firm collected Personal Information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting and/or selling Personal Information; the categories of third parties with whom the firm shares Personal Information; whether the firm has disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, and if so, the categories of Personal Information received by each category of third party recipient; or whether the firm has sold your Personal Information, and if so, the categories of Personal Information received by each category of third party recipient.

ACCESS
You can request a copy of the Personal Information the firm has collected about you during the past 12 months.

DELETION
You can ask the firm to delete the Personal Information that has been collected from you.

OPT-OUT OF SALES
Apex does NOT sell any of your Personal Information. If the firm were to do so in the future, you will be notified and you will have the opportunity to opt-out. In addition, if you direct the firm not to sell your Personal Information, the firm will consider it a request pursuant to California’s “Shine the Light” law to stop sharing your personal information covered by that law with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

OPT-IN
If the firm knows that you are younger than 16 years old, the firm will ask for your permission (or if you are younger than 13 years old, your parent’s or guardian’s permission) to sell your Personal Information before we do so.

NONDISCRIMINATION
You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination. This means the firm will not penalize you for exercising your rights by taking actions such as denying you services; increasing the price/rate of services; decreasing service quality; or suggesting the firm may penalize you as described above for exercising your rights.

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS
You may exercise your California privacy rights described above as follows:

Right to information, access and deletion. You can request to exercise your information, access and deletion rights by writing to info@apexfutures.com.

Right to opt-out of the “sale” of your Personal Information. The firm does not sell your Personal Information in the conventional sense (i.e., for money). However, like many companies, the firm uses services that help deliver interest-based ads to you. California law classifies our use of these services as a “sale” of your Personal Information to the companies that provide the services. This is because the firm allows them to collect information from our website users (e.g., online identifiers and browsing activity) so they can help serve ads more likely to interest you.
You can request to opt-out out of this “sale” of your personal information here: Do Not Sell My Personal Information.

The firm will need to confirm your identity and California residency to process your requests to exercise your information, access or deletion rights. The firm cannot process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to understand and respond to it. Except as described in this privacy policy, we will not use your personal information for any other purpose unless we describe how such information will be used at the time you disclose it to us or we obtain your permission to do so.

Apex will investigate and attempt to resolve complaints and disputes regarding use and disclosure of personal information by reference to the principles contained in this Privacy Policy.
