This policy applies to hedgwatch.com and related Hedgwatch communications and services. Hedgwatch is operated by United River Capital Pte. Ltd., which is responsible for personal data collected through these services.

Depending on how you use Hedgwatch, we may collect:

• Newsletter information: email address, signup source, consent and unsubscribe records.
• Submission information: name, email, company, website, submission details, uploaded files and correspondence.
• Partnership information: organization, role, interests, indicative budget and enquiry details.
• Account and transaction information: account details, subscription status, transaction references and limited payment information received from payment providers. We do not normally receive complete payment-card numbers.
• Technical and usage information: IP address, browser and device information, timestamps, referring pages, pages viewed, clicks, approximate location and security logs.
• Communications: messages, support requests, preferences and records of our responses.

Please do not submit sensitive, confidential or unnecessary personal information through public forms or uploaded files.

We use personal data to provide and secure the site; administer subscriptions; send requested newsletters; process editorial submissions and commercial enquiries; review, publish and manage listings; fulfil paid services; communicate with you; measure content and campaign performance; prevent spam, fraud and misuse; maintain records; improve Hedgwatch; and meet legal or regulatory obligations.

We do not sell personal data. We do not use a paid editorial relationship to guarantee favourable coverage.

Where consent is required, we will notify you of the relevant purposes and request your consent. You may withdraw consent for future use, subject to legal or operational consequences that we will explain where appropriate. We may also collect, use or disclose personal data where permitted or required by applicable law, including to perform a requested service, protect the site or respond to legal obligations.

We may share limited personal data with service providers that support hosting, email delivery, analytics, security, file storage, customer communications, payment processing and professional advice. These providers may process data only for the services they provide to us, subject to their terms and applicable safeguards.

We may also disclose data where required by law, to protect rights and security, in connection with a corporate transaction, or with your direction or consent. Information intended for publication—such as a named executive appointment or company contact supplied for a listing—may become public after editorial review.

Hedgwatch may use essential cookies and similar technologies for security, preferences, sessions and site operation. We may also use analytics or campaign technologies to understand visits, referrals, page views and outbound clicks. Where required, non-essential technologies will be subject to an appropriate notice or consent choice.

You can control cookies through your browser, although disabling essential cookies may affect site functionality.

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including service delivery, editorial records, subscription preferences, dispute handling, security, accounting and legal obligations. Retention periods may differ by record type. We may retain minimal suppression information so that an unsubscribe request remains effective.

We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal data against unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, loss or similar risks. No internet or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If a data incident occurs, we will assess and manage it and make notifications where required by applicable law.

Some service providers or infrastructure may process data outside Singapore. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps intended to ensure a standard of protection comparable to that required under applicable Singapore data-protection law.

You can unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter emails using the link included in the message. Subject to applicable law and relevant exceptions, you may request access to personal data we hold about you, ask for correction, withdraw consent, or raise a privacy concern. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect uses already lawfully made and may prevent us from continuing a requested service.

Hedgwatch is intended for a professional and general financial-information audience and is not designed to collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data without appropriate authorisation, please contact us.

We may update this policy when our services or legal obligations change. The latest version and effective date will be posted here, and material changes may be communicated through the site or by email where appropriate.

Privacy questions, access or correction requests and consent withdrawals may be submitted through our Contact page. Please include enough information for us to identify and respond to the request.
