Privacy Policy

We place great importance on safeguarding your personal information. Any personal data you share while using our website and services is handled with strict confidentiality and in compliance with applicable data protection laws and this privacy policy. Below, you’ll find detailed information about the types of personal data we collect, how we use it, who we may share it with, and the rights you have regarding your data when you access our website.

Personal data refers to any information that can be used to identify you, either directly or indirectly, as defined in Article 4(1) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Controller

Controller is Financial Future, e-mail is info@metisportfolio.com.

2. Data processing for informational use of our website

The processing of data on this website involves personal information necessary to facilitate your use of the site for informational purposes. Any additional personal data will only be processed with your explicit consent or if permitted by other legal grounds.

When you visit our website solely to access information—without registering or actively submitting personal data—only the data automatically transmitted by your browser to our server will be processed. This data includes:

  • Internet browser (browser type and browser version),
  • operating system used,
  • Referrer URL,
  • Host name of the accessing computer,
  • Time of the page request,
  • IP address

This data is technically essential for displaying our website properly and for maintaining its stability and security, which is why it must be processed.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, as the automatically collected data is required to deliver the website’s functionality. Additionally, Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR applies, since the storage of this data supports our legitimate interest in ensuring the website’s security and operational reliability.

For further details on how personal data is collected during your visit to our website, please see Section 4.

3. Data processing when using functions on our website

The following sections provide information about the data processing activities we perform in relation to the different features of our website that you may use.

3.1 Requests by E-mail

If you contact us via email, your inquiry—along with any personal data you provide (such as your name and the content of your message)—will be stored and processed by us in order to handle your request.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your inquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual steps. In other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in efficiently managing incoming requests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) if we have specifically asked for it.

The information you provide in a contact request will be retained until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent, or the purpose for its storage no longer applies (e.g., once your request has been resolved). Statutory obligations—especially retention requirements—remain unaffected.

3.2 Email updates

If you would like to receive the email updates about our products, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address and agree to receive the updates. Further data is not collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered during the subscription is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the updates will be stored by us until you unsubscribe and will be deleted after you unsubscribed. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After your unsubscription from the distribution list, your e-mail address will be stored by us in a blacklist, if necessary, to prevent future newsletter e-mails. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is limited to a maximum of 2 years. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

In order to better understand how you use the platform and to continuously improve the platform and our services, we collect and analyse the use of the platform by users. The data collected is used to create aggregated usage reports.

We use the analytics service Google Analytics with IP anonymisation to analyse usage. Google Analytics is provided by Google Ireland Limited in Ireland (hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’).

Only in exceptional cases, in the event of technical faults in Europe, will the unabridged IP address be transmitted to Google in the USA and abbreviated there. The transmitted IP addresses are not merged with other Google data.

Google acts for us as a processor on the basis of an order processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

As explained, personal data may be transferred to a third country without an adequate level of data protection. In this case, we ensure that suitable guarantees are provided for the transfer in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR. We are happy to provide proof of suitable guarantees at any time on request.
