Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
At Klovial, we understand that when you're making investment decisions, trust matters. This document explains exactly what information we collect, why we need it, and what we do with it. We've written this in plain English because privacy policies shouldn't require a law degree to understand.
Who We Are
Klovial operates from Creagh, Ballinasloe, Co. Roscommon, H53 V270, Ireland. We provide investment evaluation tools and financial education resources to clients across Ireland and beyond. When we say "we," "us," or "our" in this policy, we're referring to Klovial Limited.
You can reach our data protection team at [email protected] or by phone at +353214371992. We actually read these emails and respond to them – usually within two business days.
Information We Collect
Let's be straightforward about what information we gather and why we need it.
Information You Give Us Directly
When you sign up for our learning program, request investment evaluation tools, or contact us through our website, you share information with us. This typically includes:
- Your name and email address
- Phone number if you choose to provide it
- Company information for business accounts
- Payment details when purchasing services (processed securely through third-party providers)
- Any questions or details you include in messages to us
Information We Collect Automatically
Like most websites, we collect some technical information when you visit klovial.pro. This helps us understand how people use our site and where we can make improvements:
- IP address and general location data
- Browser type and device information
- Pages you visit and how long you spend on them
- How you arrived at our site (search engine, direct link, etc.)
- Time and date of your visit
About Cookies: We use cookies to remember your preferences and keep you logged in. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features might not work as smoothly without them.
How We Use Your Information
We're not in the business of collecting data for the sake of it. Everything we collect has a specific purpose related to providing you better service.
| Purpose | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Service Delivery | To provide the investment evaluation tools and learning resources you've requested |
| Communication | To respond to your questions and send updates about services you're using |
| Account Management | To maintain your account security and preferences |
| Service Improvement | To understand how our tools are used and where we can make them better |
| Legal Compliance | To meet financial regulation requirements and maintain proper business records |
We won't use your information for purposes you haven't agreed to. If we want to do something new with your data, we'll ask first.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under GDPR and Irish data protection law, we need a legal reason to process your personal information. Here's what applies to us:
- Contract Performance: Processing necessary to provide services you've signed up for
- Legitimate Interests: Improving our services, preventing fraud, and maintaining security
- Legal Obligation: Compliance with financial regulations and tax requirements
- Consent: Marketing communications and optional features (you can withdraw anytime)
Sharing Your Information
We don't sell your personal information. Period. But we do work with some trusted partners to run our business effectively:
Service Providers
We use third-party services for specific functions – payment processing, email delivery, website hosting, and data analysis. These companies only get the information they need to perform their specific tasks, and they're contractually required to keep it secure.
Legal Requirements
We'll disclose information if required by Irish law, court order, or regulatory authority. This includes cooperation with tax authorities and financial regulators where legally obligated.
Business Transfers
If Klovial is acquired or merged with another company, your information would be transferred as part of that transaction. We'd notify you before this happens and inform you of any changes to how your data is handled.
Your Rights Under Irish and EU Law
Irish and European data protection law gives you substantial control over your personal information. These aren't just theoretical rights – we've built systems to honor them.
Access Your Data
Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this within one month.
Correct Inaccuracies
Update incorrect or incomplete information at any time through your account settings or by contacting us.
Delete Your Data
Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements for financial records.
Restrict Processing
Limit how we use your data in specific circumstances while keeping your account active.
Data Portability
Receive your data in a structured format to transfer to another service provider.
Object to Processing
Opt out of marketing communications or processing based on legitimate interests at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected] with your request. We'll verify your identity and respond within the legally required timeframe. There's no charge for these requests unless they're clearly excessive or repetitive.
Data Security
We take security seriously because financial information deserves serious protection. Our approach includes:
- Industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
- Restricted access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
- Secure authentication processes with strong password requirements
- Regular staff training on data protection and security practices
- Incident response procedures for potential security breaches
No system is completely impenetrable, but we maintain multiple layers of protection. If a data breach occurs that affects your rights, we'll notify you and the Irish Data Protection Commission within 72 hours as required by law.
How Long We Keep Your Data
We don't keep information longer than necessary. Our retention periods vary based on the type of data and legal requirements:
- Active accounts: For the duration of your relationship with us plus one year
- Financial records: Seven years to comply with Irish tax law
- Marketing data: Until you unsubscribe, then deleted within 30 days
- Website analytics: Aggregated data kept for three years, individual data for 14 months
- Customer support records: Three years from last contact
After these periods, we securely delete or anonymize your information so it can no longer identify you.
International Data Transfers
While we're based in Ireland and primarily serve the Irish market, some of our service providers operate servers in other countries. When we transfer data outside the European Economic Area, we ensure adequate protection through:
- Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission
- Providers certified under recognized international frameworks
- Additional safeguards for sensitive financial information
Your data remains protected by the same standards regardless of where it's processed.
Children's Privacy
Our services are designed for adults making investment decisions. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you're a parent who believes your child has provided us with personal information, contact us immediately and we'll delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We review this privacy policy regularly and update it when our practices change or new regulations come into effect. When we make significant changes, we'll notify active users by email and post a notice on our website.
The date at the top of this policy shows when it was last updated. Previous versions are available on request if you want to see what's changed.
Making a Complaint
We hope we can resolve any privacy concerns directly, but you have the right to lodge a complaint with Ireland's Data Protection Commission if you're not satisfied with our response:
