Privacy Policy

Last updated: 28 August 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to the CB Trading & Investment Group website (the "Website"). CB Trading & Investment Group ("CB Trading & Investment Group", "we", "us" or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how information is handled when you use our Website. The Website provides information about CB Trading & Investment Group and offers visitors the opportunity to obtain access to our private investment group community hosted on Discord. CB Trading & Investment Group does not directly collect customer personal information through this Website. There are no customer accounts, contact forms, booking forms or direct sign-up facilities operated by us on the Website. Purchases and subscriptions for access to the private group are handled externally by Upgrade.Chat, a third-party subscription platform. Information provided when signing up or purchasing access is therefore submitted directly to Upgrade.Chat and is subject to Upgrade.Chat's own privacy policy and terms. The Website does, however, use certain third-party technologies and services, including Google services, which may process technical information about visitors.

2. Who is responsible for the Website?

The Website is operated by CB Trading & Investment Group. CB Trading & Investment Group does not operate a physical customer-facing address. For privacy-related enquiries concerning the Website, please contact: Email: [email protected] The Website is hosted and technically supported by OMX Media Limited ("OMX Media"). Where OMX Media processes personal information on behalf of CB Trading & Investment Group in connection with hosting, website operation or related technical services, it may act as a data processor on our behalf.

3. Personal information collected directly by us

CB Trading & Investment Group does not directly collect customer personal information through the Website. The Website does not currently provide:

• A contact form;
• A customer registration or account system;
• A customer database;
• A booking or enquiry form;
• A newsletter subscription form; or
• A payment or subscription form operated directly by CB Trading & Investment Group.

You can therefore browse the Website without voluntarily providing us with your name, email address, telephone number or other personal information.

4. Third-party subscription and sign-up services

Access to the CB Trading & Investment Group private Discord community is sold and managed through Upgrade.Chat, an external subscription platform. When you choose to purchase or subscribe for access, you will be directed to or interact with Upgrade.Chat's platform. Any personal or payment information you provide as part of that process is provided directly to Upgrade.Chat rather than being collected through the CB Trading & Investment Group Website. Upgrade.Chat is responsible for processing the information it collects in connection with its subscription services, subject to its own privacy policy and applicable terms. CB Trading & Investment Group does not control the information collected directly by Upgrade.Chat and is not responsible for Upgrade.Chat's independent processing activities. We recommend reviewing Upgrade.Chat's privacy policy before providing personal information or purchasing a subscription through its platform.

5. Discord

Access to the private community is provided through Discord, a third-party communication platform. If you join or interact with our Discord community, Discord may process personal information in accordance with its own privacy policy and terms. CB Trading & Investment Group does not operate Discord's infrastructure and does not control the personal information that Discord collects from its users. You should review Discord's privacy information before creating or using a Discord account.

6. Website hosting and OMX Media Limited

The Website is hosted by OMX Media Limited. As part of providing website hosting and technical infrastructure, OMX Media may process certain technical information associated with visitors to the Website. This may include information such as:

• IP address;
• Server logs;
• Browser information;
• Device information;
• Request information; and
• Other technical information necessary to deliver, secure and maintain the Website.

OMX Media may also process information necessary to diagnose technical problems, prevent abuse, maintain website security and ensure that the Website operates correctly. Where OMX Media processes personal data on behalf of CB Trading & Investment Group, we expect such processing to be carried out in accordance with our instructions and applicable data protection requirements.

7. Google services

The Website uses certain services provided by Google, including:

• Google Analytics;
• Google Tag Manager (GTM);
• Google Ads;
• Google Fonts; and
• Google Search Console.

These services perform different functions and may process different types of technical or usage information.

8. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Website and to help us improve its content and performance. Google Analytics may collect information such as:

• Pages visited;
• Approximate location;
• Device and browser information;
• How visitors arrived at the Website;
• Interactions with the Website;
• Time spent on pages; and
• Other website usage information.

Where Google Analytics uses cookies or similar technologies that are not strictly necessary for the Website to operate, these technologies will only be used where the required consent has been obtained.

9. Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) to manage and deploy Website tags and scripts. Google Tag Manager is primarily a tag-management system. Tags configured through GTM may cause other services, including analytics and advertising services, to collect or process information. We use appropriate consent controls to ensure that non-essential tags and technologies are not activated before the required consent has been obtained.

10. Google Ads

We may use Google Ads to advertise CB Trading & Investment Group and to understand the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Google Ads may use cookies, conversion tracking, advertising identifiers or similar technologies to measure advertising performance and, depending on the configuration and consent provided, support advertising and remarketing activities. Where required by law, Google Ads-related cookies and similar technologies will only be activated after the visitor has provided the appropriate consent. Advertising-related processing may involve information being shared with or processed by Google.

11. Google Fonts

The Website may use Google Fonts to display fonts and maintain the Website's visual presentation. Depending on how the fonts are implemented, a visitor's browser may make requests to Google's infrastructure to retrieve font resources. Those requests may involve technical information such as IP address and browser information. Where technically possible, fonts may be served in a manner that reduces unnecessary transmission of visitor information. However, where the Website directly requests resources from Google, Google may receive information associated with those requests.

12. Google Search Console

We use Google Search Console to monitor the Website's presence and performance in Google Search. Search Console primarily provides information to us about the Website's search visibility and performance rather than functioning as a visitor-facing account system. We may use information provided through Search Console to understand search queries, Website performance, indexing and technical issues.

13. Cookies and similar technologies

The Website may use cookies and other technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device. These technologies may be used by:

• CB Trading & Investment Group;
• Our hosting and technical service providers;
• Google Analytics;
• Google Tag Manager;
• Google Ads;
• Google Fonts;
• Other Google services; and
• Other third-party services or embedded content used on the Website.

Cookies and similar technologies may be used for purposes including:

• Essential Website functionality;
• Security;
• Remembering preferences;
• Measuring Website usage;
• Understanding Website performance;
• Measuring advertising performance; and
• Advertising or remarketing, where applicable and permitted.

Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, those technologies will only be activated after the appropriate consent has been obtained. Simply continuing to browse the Website is not treated as consent to non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

14. Your cookie choices

Where the Website presents a cookie consent mechanism, you can choose whether to allow non-essential cookies and similar technologies. You may:

• Accept the relevant categories of cookies;
• Reject non-essential cookies; or
• Change or withdraw your choices where the Website's consent mechanism provides this functionality.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Please be aware that disabling certain technologies may affect some Website functionality.

15. Why do we process personal information?

Because CB Trading & Investment Group does not directly collect customer information through the Website, our direct processing of personal information is limited. Where information is processed in connection with operating the Website, the purposes may include:

Website operation

To operate, maintain, troubleshoot and secure the Website.

Website analytics

To understand general Website usage, performance and visitor behaviour.

Advertising

To measure and improve the effectiveness of advertising and, where applicable, deliver or measure advertising using Google Ads and associated technologies.

Security

To protect the Website against malicious activity, abuse, fraud and security threats.

Legal and regulatory compliance

To comply with applicable legal, regulatory or other obligations.

16. Our lawful bases for processing

Under the UK GDPR and applicable UK data protection legislation, the lawful basis for processing depends on the nature of the processing. Where we process personal data based on our legitimate interests, this may include operating, maintaining and securing the Website and understanding its performance, provided that our interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. Where consent is legally required for cookies, analytics or advertising technologies, we rely on your consent. Where we are subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal information, we may process information on that basis.

17. Information provided to third parties

Where you independently use a third-party service linked to or accessed through the Website, that third party may collect and process information directly from you. This includes services such as:

• Upgrade.Chat, for subscriptions and access to the private community;
• Discord, for operation of the community;
• Google services used by the Website; and
• Other third-party services that may be linked to or integrated with the Website.

Those organisations may operate as independent controllers of personal information they collect directly from you. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies and terms. CB Trading & Investment Group does not sell, rent or trade customer personal information.

18. International data transfers

Some of the third-party providers used by the Website may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where personal information is transferred internationally, the relevant third-party provider is responsible for implementing any safeguards required under applicable data protection law in relation to its own processing. Where CB Trading & Investment Group is responsible for a transfer of personal data, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the transfer is carried out in accordance with applicable UK data protection law.

19. How long do we keep information?

CB Trading & Investment Group does not maintain a customer database or collect customer personal information directly through the Website. Technical information processed as part of Website operation may be retained by our hosting and service providers in accordance with their applicable retention policies and our requirements. Information collected directly by third-party services such as Upgrade.Chat, Discord and Google is retained in accordance with their respective privacy policies, terms and retention practices.

20. Data security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information processed in connection with the Website. However, no website, online service or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Third-party services are responsible for the security of information they process within their own systems, subject to their applicable terms and policies.

21. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances and the organisation responsible for processing your personal information, you may have rights under UK data protection law, including the right to:

• Request access to personal information;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Request deletion of personal information in certain circumstances;
• Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
• Object to certain processing;
• Request portability of certain personal information; and
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Because CB Trading & Investment Group does not directly collect customer personal information through the Website, requests concerning information held by third-party providers such as Upgrade.Chat, Discord or Google may need to be directed to the relevant provider. For privacy enquiries relating specifically to the CB Trading & Investment Group Website, contact: [email protected] We may need to request information to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

22. Complaints

If you have a concern about how CB Trading & Investment Group handles personal information in connection with the Website, please contact us first: [email protected] We will consider your concern and attempt to resolve it. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent supervisory authority for data protection. Where your concern relates specifically to information processed by Upgrade.Chat, Discord, Google or another third-party provider, you may also need to contact that provider directly.

23. Third-party websites and services

The Website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, applications, platforms and services. These may include Upgrade.Chat, Discord, Google services, social-media platforms, advertising services and other external websites or services. Once you leave the CB Trading & Investment Group Website or interact directly with a third-party service, that third party's own terms and privacy policy may apply. CB Trading & Investment Group is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites or services that we do not control.

24. Children's privacy

The Website is not specifically directed towards children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the Website. Third-party services linked to the Website, including Discord and Upgrade.Chat, may have their own age requirements and rules. Users should review the relevant provider's terms before using those services.

• Our Website;
• The services or content we provide;
