4. Data Security

• • All of your data reside at the service provider that hosts our website, www.hedgefundexpress.com

  • Our hosting service provider is highly rated on data security.  It implements robust security measures, including encryption and secure servers, to protect your personal, financial, and usage data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. It follows the latest security protocols and government regulations. However, no security system is infallible, and no hosting service guarantees absolute data security.

  • HedgeFundExpress strictly limits our staff’s access to your data on a need-only basis. Only our site administrator can access the full range of your data.  Currently only our head of IT and one of our senior partners have administrator access. Logins to the administrator account require dedicated IP addresses, strong passwords, and two-factor authentications.
