How is data privacy handled?

UOWN takes your privacy seriously and complies with GDPR and UK data protection laws:

What we collect: We only collect information necessary for providing our service – identity verification data, contact details, financial information for investments, and usage data to improve our platform.

How we use it: Your data is used for account management, regulatory compliance (KYC/AML), sending investment updates, and platform improvements. We don't sell your data to third parties.

Who we share with: We share data only when necessary with Yapily (for payment initiation), Shufti Pro (for ID verification), developers/SPVs (for investments you make), and regulatory authorities (if required by law).

Security measures: All personal data is encrypted, access is restricted to authorised personnel only, we use secure servers and regular backups, and we maintain audit logs of data access.

Your rights: Under GDPR, you can request access to your data, ask for corrections, request deletion (where legally possible), opt out of marketing communications, and request data portability.

Data retention: We keep your data for as long as you have an account, plus any period required by law (typically 5-7 years for financial records).
