Privacy and data protection

    Privacy Policy

    Effective and last updated: July 22, 2026

    Nordfunded provides simulated trading evaluation services. A challenge fee is payment for an evaluation service. It is not a deposit, investment or customer trading capital.

    This Privacy Policy explains how SIA NordF, trading as Nordfunded, collects and uses personal data when you visit nordfunded.com, create or use an account at trader.nordfunded.com, purchase a simulated challenge, complete verification, interact with simulated trading tools, request a contractual payout, contact support or otherwise use our services.

    This policy should be read together with our Terms of Use and Cookie Policy.

    1. Data controller

    The data controller is SIA NordF, trading as Nordfunded, registration number 50203736551, registered address Vesetas iela 24-45, Riga, LV-1013, Latvia.

    Privacy requests and questions can be sent to [email protected]. General support is available at [email protected].

    2. Our service and why trading data is processed

    Nordfunded provides account registration, purchase and administration of simulated trading challenges, monitoring of simulated performance and rule compliance, eligibility assessment for contractual funded stages and payouts, customer support, security and fraud prevention.

    During a challenge, orders, positions and performance are simulated. We analyse this information because the service requires us to calculate balances, profit and loss, profit targets, daily loss, maximum drawdown and compliance with published rules. Any later funded arrangement is governed by the applicable trader agreement and information provided at that stage.

    3. Personal data we collect

    Account and identity data

    • Name, email address, country, date of birth and profile information.
    • Authentication records, account identifier, password reset and email verification status.
    • Profile image where you choose to upload one.

    Purchase and challenge data

    • Challenge type, account size, purchase date, price, promotion and account identifier.
    • Affiliate or referral code, attribution and related conversion information.
    • Payment status, invoice or order reference and provider transaction reference. Nordfunded does not receive your private crypto keys.

    Simulated trading and rule data

    • Simulated orders, pending orders, positions, instruments, direction, leverage or margin information, entry and exit prices and timestamps.
    • Balance, equity, realised and unrealised profit and loss, daily statistics, profit percentage and performance history.
    • Profit target, daily loss, maximum drawdown, rule breach, challenge status and retry or eligibility records.
    • Signals of potentially prohibited strategies, unusual behaviour, shared access, duplicate accounts or other platform abuse.

    Verification data

    Where identity verification is required for account or payout protection, we may collect your full name, date of birth, country, front and back images of an identity document, a selfie, submission date, verification status and rejection reason. We do not state that every identity check is required by anti-money laundering law. The legal basis depends on the reason for the specific check.

    Payout and wallet data

    • Payout amount, profit share, request date, status and decision history.
    • Selected blockchain network, public wallet address and blockchain transaction identifier.
    • Information used to confirm wallet formatting, payout delivery and possible fraud or account compromise.

    Device, security and usage data

    • IP address, browser, operating system, device information, language, login time and trusted-device status.
    • Security logs, failed login or verification attempts, session records and technical error information.
    • Website pages, clicks, referral source, cookie choices and analytics data where permitted.

    Communications

    We collect support messages, complaints, appeals, evidence you submit, email preferences and records of administrative or marketing messages sent to you.

    4. Where the data comes from

    Personal data may come from:

    • You, when you register, purchase, trade in the simulated environment, complete verification, save a wallet or contact us.
    • The Nordfunded platform, which generates challenge, trading, rule, payout and security records.
    • Payment and crypto payment providers, which provide transaction status and references.
    • Affiliate partners or referral links.
    • Authentication, hosting, email, analytics, security and communication providers.
    • Public blockchain records relating to a payment or payout wallet and transaction.

    5. Purposes and legal bases

    We do not use one legal basis for every activity. The principal purposes and legal bases are listed below.

    PurposeMain dataLegal basis
    Create and secure an accountIdentity, contact, authentication, device and login dataPerformance of a contract; legitimate interests in account security

    Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider the necessity of the processing, the impact on users and available safeguards. You may object to this processing as explained below.

    6. Automated challenge and payout decisions

    The platform automatically calculates simulated balance, equity, profit and loss, profit targets, daily loss and maximum drawdown. It may automatically close simulated positions, mark a challenge as passed or failed, issue a retry status, or flag payout eligibility when the published numerical conditions are met.

    The main logic is a comparison between recorded account activity and the rules shown for the selected challenge. For example, a challenge can be marked failed when recorded daily loss or maximum drawdown exceeds the applicable limit. Security systems may also flag linked devices, duplicate accounts, unusual trading or payout activity for review.

    These decisions may affect challenge access, funded-stage eligibility or the timing of a payout. You may request human review, provide additional information and challenge an incorrect decision by emailing [email protected]. We will review relevant rules, account records and system logs and communicate the outcome.

    7. Crypto wallets and public blockchains

    A wallet address and blockchain transaction can be personal data when linked to your Nordfunded account. We use wallet information to administer crypto payments or payouts, verify delivery, maintain records and investigate suspected fraud or account compromise.

    • Public blockchain transactions may be visible worldwide and may not be altered or deleted.
    • Nordfunded does not place your name, email address, identity document or other direct identifier on a public blockchain.
    • Deleting your Nordfunded account may remove or separate our internal account link where legally possible, but it cannot erase a transaction already recorded on a public blockchain.
    • Payment or payout providers may process wallet and transaction information under their own privacy terms.

    8. Recipients and service providers

In a merger, financing, restructuring or sale, relevant data may be disclosed under confidentiality and data protection safeguards.

    Some providers act as processors under our instructions. Others, including certain payment, analytics, review or communication services, may act as independent controllers for their own legal, security or service purposes. Their privacy notices explain that processing.

    9. International transfers

    Some providers may process data outside Latvia or the European Economic Area, including in the United States and other locations described in their privacy notices. Where GDPR transfer restrictions apply, we use an adequacy decision, approved Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism. We also consider supplementary measures such as encryption, access limits and data minimisation.

    You may request information about the safeguards relevant to your data by contacting [email protected]. Commercially sensitive or third-party information may be redacted from copies of contractual safeguards.

    10. Retention

    We retain data only for a defined business, contractual, security or legal purpose. The periods below are our general schedule. A shorter period may apply where data is no longer needed, and a longer period may apply for an active legal claim, investigation, legal hold or mandatory recordkeeping duty.

Simulated trading records are required to assess performance and rule compliance. A wallet address is required for a crypto payout.

    12. Your GDPR rights

    Subject to the conditions and exceptions in applicable law, you may:

    13. Account deletion

    You may request account deletion through the available account controls or by contacting [email protected]. We will delete or anonymise data that is no longer required. We may retain limited information for accounting, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal claims, security or another lawful obligation. Public blockchain transactions cannot be deleted by Nordfunded.

    14. Cookies and analytics

    The public website uses necessary technologies and may use optional analytics technologies. Our legal basis for nonessential analytics cookies is consent where required. The Cookie Policy identifies cookie categories, providers, purposes and durations and explains how to change your preferences.

    An affiliate referral code may be stored in the nf_ref cookie for up to 30 days so a referral can be attributed if you later register or purchase. This information is used for attribution and affiliate administration.

    15. Security

    We use proportionate technical and organisational safeguards, including access controls, authentication, encrypted transport, restricted administrative access, logging, monitoring and provider security controls. No online system can guarantee absolute security. Keep account credentials and trusted devices secure and contact support promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.

    16. Adults only

    The services are intended only for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly provide accounts to children. Contact us if you believe a person under 18 has submitted personal data.

    17. Changes to this policy

    We may update this policy when our services, providers, data practices or legal obligations change. The current version and revision date will remain available on this page. Where a change materially affects users, we may also provide an account notice or email before or when the change takes effect.
