It’s probably no surprise that we collect information that you provide to us. The amount and type of information depends on the context and how we use the information. Here are some examples:

For example, we require individuals who sign up for a int-Forex.com account to provide a their name, a user ID, a password, their date of birth, language preference, country and email address. The email address and password form part of the security system. If the password is incorrect, it will not be possible for you to activate your account.
