Scope
Scope & disclaimers (outside CIF)
Hipparchus does not operate under the French CIF status and does not provide personalised investment recommendations as an investment service. Investment advice, by nature, requires an appropriate regulated status when provided as a habitual professional activity.
The website is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer, solicitation, or investment advice. Decisions should be taken after your own analysis and, where required, with duly authorised professionals.
Partners/counterparties are never named publicly; only their roles may be described. Examples and market content do not imply future performance.
If a client need requires a regulated status, we route execution to duly authorised counterparties; Hipparchus remains within its advisory/engineering scope.

All website elements (texts, brands, visuals, logos, structure) are protected by intellectual property law. Any reproduction or adaptation, in whole or in part, is prohibited without prior written authorisation, except where legally permitted.

The website may contain links to third-party sites. We do not control such content and disclaim liability for their availability, content or practices.
GDPR
When you contact us or browse the website, some data may be processed. We apply data minimisation, confidentiality and limited retention.
The data controller is the publisher (see “Publisher”). No DPO is appointed at this stage; you can use the contact email above for any request.

You may exercise your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability where applicable). If needed, you may lodge a complaint with the French DPA (CNIL).
Security
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures (access controls, logging, transport encryption) to protect data. No method offers absolute security; residual risk remains.
Complaints & mediation
If you wish to lodge a complaint, please contact the publisher by email or postal mail. We acknowledge receipt and provide a reasoned answer within a reasonable timeframe.
Consumer mediation (if applicable): when the client qualifies as a consumer under French law, a consumer mediator may be used. Mediator details: to be completed once appointed (or upon written request).
For personal data matters, you may also file a complaint with the CNIL via its online service.
Governing law & jurisdiction
The website and its terms are governed by French law. In case of dispute, and absent amicable resolution, competent courts will be seized under applicable procedural rules.
