Authorization on the Website through a social network account
You can log in to Personal profile through your account in any social network. This option of visiting myAlpari is provided by the Company in order to save you from having to create and remember another login and password.

Social media plugins
Special plug-ins for social networks are built into the structural program of the Site and mobile application. When you click any of the buttons in the social networks, for example "Share" on Facebook, the operator of the social network will receive certain data about you.
If, during this action, you are authorized in your social network account, the operator will be able to link your activity to your page in the social network. Also, depending on the basic settings of your account, the operator will be able to provide data about your actions on your page so that other users of the social network can see them.

The Company may have its own social media pages, and through them our team may offer users the Website's mobile application.

If you want to share personal information from a social network with our team, the operator of the social network may inform you about the transfer of specific information. For example, it can be an e-mail address or a profile picture stored in your social network account. When you sign in to Personal profile on the Website through your social networking profile, the Website may receive this information, but only after your permission.
