Privacy Policy — Makvia Capitals

1. Who We Are

Makvia Capitals OÜ ("Makvia Capitals", "we", "us") is a quantitative trading firm incorporated in Estonia (registration pending). We are the data controller responsible for this website, makviacapitals.com.

Enquiries regarding this policy may be directed to: [email protected]

2. Data We Collect

This website does not use cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics scripts. The only personal data processed is that which your browser transmits as part of a standard HTTP request, recorded in our hosting provider's server logs:

Your IP address
Browser type and version (User-Agent string)
The page or resource requested
The date and time of the request
HTTP response status code
Referring URL (if your browser sends one)

We do not collect names, email addresses, or any other identifying information unless you contact us directly at our email address above.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process server log data on the basis of our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR and EU GDPR. These interests are: maintaining the security of our infrastructure, diagnosing technical errors, and detecting and preventing abuse or unauthorised access.

We have assessed that this processing does not override the rights and freedoms of visitors, given the limited nature of the data, its purely operational use, and the short retention period described below.

4. How We Use Your Data

Server log data is used exclusively for:

Security monitoring and intrusion detection
Diagnosing server errors and performance issues
Abuse prevention

We do not use server log data for profiling, marketing, advertising, or any other commercial purpose.

5. Data Retention

Server logs are retained for a maximum of 90 days, after which they are automatically deleted by our hosting provider. We do not archive or export logs beyond this period.

6. Third Parties & Sub-processors

We use Netlify, Inc. as our hosting infrastructure provider. Netlify may process server log data on our behalf as a data processor. Netlify operates under a GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreement and participates in the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. For details, see Netlify's privacy policy.

All website fonts are self-hosted on our own infrastructure. No fonts, scripts, or other assets are loaded from third-party CDNs. There are no advertising, social media, or analytics integrations on this website.

7. International Transfers

Netlify's infrastructure may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where such transfers occur, they are covered by appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) pursuant to Article 46 GDPR.

8. Your Rights

Access — request a copy of personal data we hold about you

Erasure — request deletion of your data in certain circumstances
Restriction — request that we restrict processing in certain circumstances
