Any personal data provided to FOEX through these web pages is processed pursuant to the guidelines below.
FOEX will hold and process any personal information received via website, social media or as emails and/or online forms only for FOEX’s internal business purposes, including lawful purposes relating to recruitment.
FOEX does not sell online personal information to third parties and may pass such information outside FOEX only if and to the extent a third party service provider has a strict need-to-know basis for such information to be able to provide its services to FOEX.
We may disclose your personal information:

- in connection with any ongoing or prospective legal proceedings;
