We commit to maintaining strong physical and logical access controls and conduct regular penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

High Availability. Every part of the website utilizes properly-provisioned, redundant servers (e.g., multiple load balancers, web servers, replica databases) in case of failure. We take servers out of operation as part of regular maintenance, without impacting availability.
Business Continuity. We keep encrypted backups of data daily in multiple regions on Google Cloud Platform. While never expected, in the case of production data loss (i.e., primary data stores loss), we will restore organizational data from these backups.
Disaster Recovery. In the event of a region-wide outage, we will bring up a duplicate environment in a different Google Cloud Platform region. Our operations team has extensive experience performing full region migrations.
Physical Access Controls. The website is hosted on Google Cloud Platform, whose data centres feature a layered security model, including extensive safeguards such as custom-designed electronic access cards, alarms, vehicle access barriers, perimeter fencing, metal detectors, and biometrics. FTI employees do not have physical access to these data centres, servers, network equipment, or storage.
Logical Access Controls. Only designated, authorized operations team members have access to configure the infrastructure on an as-needed basis behind a two-factor authenticated virtual private network. Specific private keys are required for individual servers, and keys are stored in a secure and encrypted location.
5. Do we use cookies?
A. Summary
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the sites or service providers systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. You can choose to disable cookies, but if you do, your ability to use or access certain parts of the website may be affected.
B. Learn More
We use cookies and other similar identifiers to understand and save your preferences for future visits, to advertise to you on other sites, and to compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. You can find information on popular browsers and how to adjust your cookie preferences at the following Applications:
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome
Apple Safari
However, if you choose to disable cookies, you may be unable to access certain parts of our website. A banner asking you to accept our cookies policy will be displayed upon the first visit to our website (or the first visit after you delete your cookies). Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies and/or you have not accepted our cookies policy, our system will issue cookies when you log on to our site.
Our web pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons (also called single-pixel gifs) that we use to help deliver cookies on our websites and to count users who have visited those websites. We may also include web beacons in our promotional email messages or newsletters, to determine whether and when you open and act on them.
In addition to placing web beacons on our own websites, we sometimes work with other companies to place our web beacons on their websites or in their advertisements. This helps us to develop statistics on how often clicking on an advertisement on a FTI website results in a purchase or other action on the advertiser’s website.
Finally, our website may contain web beacons or similar technologies from third-party analytics providers that help us compile aggregated statistics about the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns or other operations. These technologies enable the analytics providers to set or read their own cookies or other identifiers on your device, through which they can collect information about your online activities across websites or other products.

If you access other websites using the links provided, the operators of these websites may collect information from you that will be used by them in accordance with their privacy policies.

We may retain your personal information as long as you continue to use the website, have an account with us, or for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy. You can ask to close your account by contacting us as described above, and we will delete your personal information on request. We may, however, retain personal information for an additional period as is permitted or required under applicable laws, for legal, tax, or regulatory reasons, or for legitimate and lawful business purposes.
B. Learn More
We will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to make the website available to you, or for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Because these needs can vary for different types of data, actual retention periods can vary significantly. The criteria we use to determine the retention periods include:
How long is the personal data needed to make the website available to you and/or operate our business? This includes such things such as maintaining and improving the performance of the website, keeping our systems secure, and maintaining appropriate business and financial records. This is the general rule that establishes the baseline for most data retention periods.
Is there an automated control, such as in your user dashboard, that enables you to access and delete the personal data at any time? If there is not, a shortened data retention time will generally be adopted.
Is the personal data of a sensitive type? If so, a shortened retention time would generally be appropriate.
Has the user provided consent for a longer retention period? If so, we will retain the data in accordance with your consent.
Is FTI subject to a legal, contractual, or similar obligation to retain the data? Examples can include mandatory data retention laws in the applicable jurisdiction, government orders to preserve data relevant to an investigation, or data that must be retained for the purposes of litigation.
C. Data Sharing
By registering and using our platform, you acknowledge and agree to undergo a Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process facilitated by a trusted third-party service provider. You hereby grant explicit consent for the sharing of your personal information and KYC documents with the relevant third parties, solely for the purposes of fulfilling KYC compliance requirements and facilitating secure payment processing related to your transactions on our platform. This consent ensures the integrity of our ecosystem and supports compliance with applicable legal and regulatory obligations. Rest assured that the shared information will be treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.
