We (We, Our) protect your personal information. This policy explains what we collect when you use Lantern Equiholt (the Website), why we use it, how we share it and the choices available to you. Contact: [email protected].

Data we gather

We may collect technical data such as IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, timestamps and crash logs, plus information you submit yourself, for example your name, email and phone number when you ask to be connected with a third-party trading platform. Some technical data may not identify you.

You are not required to provide information, but without it we may not be able to connect you with partners or provide certain features. The Website is not aimed at children under 18; if we discover that child data has been collected, we will delete it promptly where the law requires.

We process information to run the Website, answer enquiries, connect you with third-party platforms at your request, comply with the law, secure our services, improve performance and analytics in our legitimate interests, and defend our legal rights. Depending on the activity, we rely on your consent, legitimate interests and/or legal obligation as appropriate.

Retention, security and third-party sites

Subject to local law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or object to certain processing, and withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. Users may contact the relevant state or federal authority where applicable. We may verify your identity before responding. We may update this policy by publishing a new version on the Website.
