Accordingly, when you access or use the Winspark website, you automatically agree to our collection, use, and disclosure of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We collect your information in order to:
Comply with our regulatory duties, obligations and responsibilities.
Conform to legal requirements or comply with legal processes under any valid and applicable legislation and/or competent authority (meaning any authority having any governmental, juridical or regulatory jurisdiction over us).
For the purpose of reporting potential or suspected crime, including money laundering or fraud.

Upon request, we will provide our customers with a copy of the collected personal data in an electronic format.
Right to be Forgotten
Winspark’s clients have the right to request their personal data to be erased and cease the further dissemination of their data by the Company or any third parties.

If we combine Personal Information with Non-Personal Information, the combined information will be treated as Personal Information for as long as it remains combined.
How we collect information
