Article 3.3 – Data hosting
The website investycoon.com and associated services are hosted by:
Hostinger International Limited

Data is therefore hosted within the European Union.
Article 4 – Data recipients
Quadrilex does not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. However, in the course of operating the Platform, your data may be shared with the following recipients:
- Other Platform users — your username is visible to all Members and anonymous visitors, including through Company pages and the property map. We strongly advise against choosing a username that contains sensitive personal information.
- Hosting provider (Hostinger) — for the provision of hosting services. Hostinger acts as a data processor under the GDPR and is bound by confidentiality obligations.
- Internal email infrastructure — newsletters and email notifications are sent via Quadrilex's own infrastructure (Postfix server) and managed through the InvestycoonSky platform. Your data is not shared with any third-party email provider.
- Stripe (payment processor) — for Private Server subscription payments, your payment data is processed by Stripe Inc. (United States). Quadrilex does not store any banking data. This transfer outside the European Union is governed by the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission (Stripe DPA).
- Google Firebase — if you use the Android application, your device identifier is transmitted to Firebase (Google LLC, United States) to deliver push notifications. This transfer outside the European Union is governed by the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission.
- Google reCAPTCHA — the contact form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA v3 (Google LLC, United States). This service collects behavioural data (mouse movements, typing cadence, browser fingerprint) and the IP address to detect automated submissions (bots). This processing is based on Quadrilex's legitimate interest in securing its services. The transfer outside the European Union is governed by the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission. For more information: Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
- Competent authorities — Quadrilex may be required to share your data with judicial, administrative, or regulatory authorities upon legal request or in the event of a breach detected on the Platform.
- In the event of a transfer of Quadrilex — in the context of a merger, acquisition, or full or partial transfer of Quadrilex's assets, your data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, which will be bound by this policy.
Article 5 – Minors
The Platform is accessible to users aged 13 and over. Quadrilex does not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13.
Under GDPR Article 8, the age at which a minor may consent independently to data processing is set by each EU member state between 13 and 16. French law sets this threshold at 15. Users aged 13 to 14 must therefore obtain prior consent from a parent or legal guardian before creating an Account. By registering, users under 15 certify that such consent has been obtained. In the absence of a technical verification mechanism, Quadrilex relies on this declaration and on the responsibility of the legal representative.
If Quadrilex becomes aware that a user is under the age of 13, their Account and all associated personal data will be deleted without delay. Legal representatives may report such cases to: contact@quadrilex.com.
Some servers on the Platform are restricted to adult users (18 and over). Access to these servers requires a date of birth declaration at Account creation.
