Privacy Policy for Donaldson R F

1. Introduction

I take your privacy and the security of your personal data very seriously. This Privacy Policy outlines how I collect, use, maintain, and disclose information collected from clients and visitors to Donaldson R F (donaldsonrf.com).

Whether you are purchasing an Expert Advisor (EA), utilizing my server hosting and WordPress services, or simply reading my content, this policy explains your rights regarding your personal data. This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with my Terms of Service, Risk Disclosure, and Affiliate Disclosure.

2. Information I Collect

I may collect personal and non-personal identification information in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when you visit my Site, place an order, subscribe to a newsletter, fill out a form, or interact with my IT and development services.

  • Information You Provide Voluntarily: When you purchase a digital product, request WordPress emergency support, or contact me for server management, I may collect your name, email address, billing details, and specific technical information required to perform the service (such as temporary server credentials or MetaTrader account numbers for EA licensing).
  • Log Data and Analytics: When you interact with the Site, my servers automatically collect log data. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, and the referring URL. This information is used strictly for website administration, security monitoring, and analytical purposes.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: I use cookies to enhance your experience, remember your preferences, and track aggregate usage metrics. You can choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, note that some parts of the Site may not function properly.

3. How I Use Your Information

I collect and use your personal information for the following specific purposes:

  • To Provide and Deliver Services: To process transactions, license MQL5 software, and configure hosting or WordPress environments as requested.
  • To Improve Customer Service: Your information helps me respond more effectively to your technical support needs and pre-sale inquiries.
  • To Personalize User Experience: To understand how visitors as a group use the services and resources provided on my Site.
  • To Send Periodic Emails: I may use the email address you provide to send you information and updates pertaining to your order or server status. If you opt-in to my mailing list, you will receive emails that may include company news, updates, or related product information. You can unsubscribe at any time.

4. Strict Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure (Client IP and Infrastructure)

As an independent developer and IT specialist, trust is the absolute foundation of my business. Because my work requires access to your highly sensitive intellectual property and private databases, I enforce a strict, personal Non-Disclosure policy across all my services:

  • Trading Strategies and Expert Advisors (EAs): Whether you hire me to (1) build a custom EA from scratch based on your proprietary trading strategy, (2) debug, fix, or optimize your existing source code, or (3) convert your code from MetaTrader 4 (MQL4) to MetaTrader 5 (MQL5), your intellectual property is completely safe. I guarantee that I will never copy, steal, reuse, resell, or personally trade using your custom strategies or source code. Your logic and algorithms remain 100% yours. My role is strictly to translate your vision into functional code.
  • Server, Website, and Database Access: When you grant me administrative access to your WordPress dashboard, cPanel, Plesk, root server, or hosting environment for emergency repairs, optimization, or maintenance, I act with the utmost discretion. I will only access, view, or modify the specific files and settings strictly necessary to perform the requested technical intervention. I do not browse, copy, or extract your private business files.
  • Email Platforms and Subscriber Lists: If I am hired to configure, troubleshoot, or maintain your email marketing platforms, SMTP servers, or newsletter systems, I acknowledge the extreme sensitivity of your subscriber databases and leads. I will never scrape, export, share, or contact your mailing lists. I treat your client data as strictly confidential, focusing entirely on the technical health and deliverability of your infrastructure.

Any credentials, source files, or strategic documents you share with me are stored securely during the project lifecycle and can be permanently deleted from my local environments upon your request once the service is successfully delivered.

5. Sharing Your Information & Third-Party Services

I do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. I may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information with trusted infrastructure partners for the purposes outlined above.

  • Essential Service Providers: I may use third-party service providers to help me operate my business (e.g., payment gateways, secure cloud hosting, or email delivery systems). These third parties have access to your personal data only to perform specific tasks on my behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
  • Google AdSense: This website may use Google AdSense to serve advertisements. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to users based on their visit to my Site and other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and content network privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
  • Affiliate Marketing: I occasionally use affiliate links. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, the third-party affiliate network will track this action to assign me a commission. I do not share your personal data directly with these affiliate programs.

6. European Data Protection Rights (GDPR)

Because I operate within the European framework, I strictly adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following data protection rights:

  • The right to access, update, or delete the information I have on you.

7. Data Security and Retention

As an IT specialist, data security is my priority. I adopt appropriate data collection, storage, and processing practices, along with robust security measures, to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal information, username, password, transaction information, and data stored on my Site.

I will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including to comply with my legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce my legal agreements.

8. Children’s Privacy

My Site and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18, given the financial nature of trading software and professional IT services. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If I become aware that a child has provided me with personal data, I will take steps to remove such information and safely delete it.
