Privacy Notice
Last updated: October 2026
ABC Quant, LLC ("ABC Quant", "we", "us" or "our") respects the privacy of visitors to this website, prospective clients, clients and other individuals who communicate with us. This Privacy Notice explains what personal information we collect, how and why we use it, when it may be disclosed, and the privacy rights that may be available under applicable law.
This Privacy Notice applies primarily to information collected through abcquant.com and related website communications. Information processed in connection with Risk Shell, FoF Manager, client-specific deployments or other contracted services may also be subject to client agreements, confidentiality provisions and data-processing terms.
Who Is Responsible for Your Personal Information
ABC Quant, LLC, based in the United States, is responsible for the processing of personal information described in this Privacy Notice.
For purposes of the European Union General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and the UK GDPR, ABC Quant acts as the data controller for personal information collected directly through this website where those laws apply.
Questions regarding privacy or requests concerning personal information may be submitted to
Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you interact with ABC Quant and the website.

You may provide personal information when you contact ABC Quant, request information or a product demonstration, register for training or a webinar, communicate with our staff or otherwise interact with us.
This information may include:
- Name
- Business email address
- Telephone number
- Company or institution
- Job title or professional role
- Country or geographic region
- Information contained in enquiries or correspondence
- Webinar, training or event registration information
- Other information you voluntarily provide to ABC Quant
Website & Technical Information
When you access the website, our web servers and, where permitted, analytics systems may process technical information associated with your visit.
This information may include:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system and device characteristics
- Screen or device characteristics
- Pages requested or viewed
- Date and time of requests
- Referring website or source
- Navigation between pages
- Approximate geographic information derived from an IP address
- Technical information required for security, server administration and troubleshooting
ABC Quant may also use IP-derived country or regional information to determine which privacy and consent controls should be presented to a website visitor.
How We Use Personal Information
ABC Quant uses personal information for legitimate website, business, security and client-related purposes, including:
- Responding to enquiries and requests for information
- Arranging Risk Shell demonstrations and discussions with prospective clients
- Providing and administering products, services, training and support
- Managing webinar, tutorial and event registrations
- Maintaining communications with clients and professional contacts
- Operating and maintaining the website
- Understanding how visitors use website content where analytics is permitted
- Identifying technical, usability or content issues
- Protecting the website and ABC Quant systems against unauthorized access, malicious activity, automated attacks and other security threats
- Maintaining appropriate business and contractual records
- Meeting applicable contractual, regulatory and legal obligations
Legal Bases for Processing
Where the GDPR, UK GDPR or another law requiring a legal basis applies, ABC Quant processes personal information on one or more of the following bases:
- Consent: where you have given permission for specific processing, including optional website analytics where consent is required.
- Contract or pre-contractual steps: where processing is necessary to respond to a request concerning our services, establish a client relationship or perform an agreement.
- Legitimate interests: where processing is reasonably necessary for business communications, website operation, information security, system administration, client support, fraud prevention or other legitimate business purposes and those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
- Legal obligation: where processing is required to comply with applicable law, regulation, court order or other binding legal requirement.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.
Website Analytics
ABC Quant uses two website analytics systems: self-hosted Matomo Analytics and Google Analytics. These systems are used to measure website usage, understand how visitors navigate the site, identify technical or content issues and improve website organization and performance.
ABC Quant does not use either analytics system for behavioural advertising, remarketing or advertising personalization.
Matomo Analytics
ABC Quant operates its own self-hosted Matomo Analytics system. Matomo analytics data is therefore collected and maintained within an analytics environment controlled by ABC Quant rather than being provided to an external advertising platform.
Depending on the visitor's location and consent preferences, Matomo may process information such as:
- Pages viewed
- Visit and session information
- Navigation between website pages
- Referring websites or sources
- Browser and device characteristics
- Approximate geographic information
- Other technical information used for aggregate website measurement
ABC Quant does not use Matomo for cross-site advertising or behavioural profiling.
Google Analytics
ABC Quant also uses Google Analytics, a website measurement service provided by Google. Google Analytics helps ABC Quant understand website traffic, navigation patterns and the use of website content.
Depending on the visitor's location and consent preferences, Google Analytics may process information such as:
- Pages viewed and website interactions
- Visit and session information
- Referring websites and traffic sources
- Browser, operating system and device characteristics
- Approximate geographic information
- Random or pseudonymous identifiers used to distinguish browsers or visits
Google Analytics may use first-party cookies and similar technologies to distinguish visits and measure website activity.
ABC Quant does not use Google Ads, Google Analytics remarketing, Google Signals or Google Analytics advertising audiences in connection with this website. Google Analytics data collected by ABC Quant is used for website measurement and analysis rather than advertising or behavioural targeting.
Google processes Google Analytics information on behalf of ABC Quant in accordance with the applicable Google Analytics terms and data-processing terms.
Analytics Consent for EEA & UK Visitors
For visitors identified as being located in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or the United Kingdom, both Matomo Analytics and Google Analytics are completely disabled when the visitor first accesses the website.
No Matomo or Google Analytics tracking is activated for those visitors unless they select the option to accept analytics through the website's consent mechanism.
If the visitor rejects analytics:
- Matomo Analytics remains disabled
- Google Analytics remains disabled
- Analytics cookies are not created by either analytics system
- Analytics tracking requests are not sent by the website
If the visitor accepts analytics, Matomo and Google Analytics may be activated in accordance with the preferences selected by the visitor.
The website may use a strictly necessary cookie or similar storage mechanism to remember whether analytics was accepted or rejected. This preference mechanism is necessary to retain the visitor's privacy choice and prevent the consent request from being displayed on every page or visit.
Visitors may subsequently change or withdraw their analytics consent through the Cookie Settings link available on the website. Withdrawal of consent disables subsequent optional analytics tracking.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
ABC Quant uses cookies and similar technologies where necessary to operate the website and, where permitted, to perform website analytics.
Cookies may generally fall into the following categories:
Necessary Cookies
Necessary cookies or similar technologies support essential website functions such as security, technical operation and retention of privacy preferences. These technologies do not require analytics consent where they are strictly necessary for the requested website functionality.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies may be used by Matomo and Google Analytics to distinguish visits and measure website usage. For EEA and UK visitors, these technologies are not activated until analytics consent has been provided.
Additional information about individual cookies, their purposes and applicable retention periods is available in the ABC Quant Cookie Notice and through the website's Cookie Settings interface.
Server Logs & Website Security
ABC Quant's web servers automatically generate technical logs when requests are made to the website. These logs may contain information such as:
- IP address
- Date and time of the request
- Requested URL
- HTTP request and response information
- Browser or user-agent information
- Technical errors or security-related information
Server logs are separate from optional website analytics. They are used for purposes including server operation, troubleshooting, performance monitoring, security analysis, detection of automated attacks, investigation of suspected misuse and protection of ABC Quant systems.
Security-related processing may continue regardless of whether a visitor accepts or rejects optional analytics because it is required for operation and protection of the website.
Business Communications
If you contact ABC Quant, request information, request a Risk Shell demonstration or otherwise communicate with us, we may use your contact and professional information to respond to your request and maintain related business correspondence.
ABC Quant primarily provides products and services to institutional investors, investment managers, family offices and other professional organizations. Contact information may therefore be maintained as part of an existing or prospective institutional business relationship.
Where permitted by applicable law, ABC Quant may send communications relating to its products, services, webinars, tutorials or other professional activities. Where consent is legally required, such communications will be sent on that basis.
You may request that ABC Quant stop sending non-essential promotional communications at any time.
Webinars, Training & Events
When you register for an ABC Quant webinar, training session or other event, we may collect information needed to administer the registration and determine eligibility where applicable.
This may include your name, professional contact information, institution and professional role.
The information may be used to:
- Process and confirm registration
- Determine eligibility for a restricted session
- Provide event access information
- Communicate scheduling or program changes
- Maintain attendance and registration records
- Respond to questions relating to the event or training program
Client & Prospective Client Information
ABC Quant may process business and professional contact information relating to individuals who work for, represent or otherwise interact with current or prospective clients.
This information may be used for:
- Product demonstrations
- Commercial discussions
- Contracts and account administration
- Risk Shell implementation and configuration
- Technical support
- Training
- Client communications
- Service administration
Information processed within Risk Shell, FoF Manager or a client-specific deployment may be governed by additional confidentiality, information-security and data-processing provisions contained in the applicable client agreement.
Sharing of Personal Information
ABC Quant does not sell personal information for monetary consideration and does not use personal information collected through this website for third-party behavioural advertising.
Personal information may be disclosed where reasonably necessary to:
- Google in connection with Google Analytics where analytics has been activated
- Service providers supporting communications, information technology, security or other business operations
- Professional advisers, auditors or consultants where necessary for legitimate business purposes
- Government authorities, regulators, courts or law-enforcement agencies where disclosure is required by law
- Protect ABC Quant, its clients, systems or other parties against fraud, misuse, security threats or unlawful activity
- Complete a merger, acquisition, restructuring or transfer of business assets, subject to applicable legal requirements
Service providers processing personal information on behalf of ABC Quant are expected to process that information only for the applicable service and subject to appropriate contractual and legal requirements.
International Processing & Data Transfers
ABC Quant is based in the United States. If you access this website or communicate with ABC Quant from another country, personal information may therefore be processed in the United States.
Google Analytics operates through Google's global technical infrastructure. Analytics information processed by Google may therefore be processed in jurisdictions outside the visitor's country of residence.
Where applicable data-protection law requires safeguards for international transfers, ABC Quant and its service providers use legally recognized transfer mechanisms or other appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law.
Data Retention
ABC Quant retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for applicable contractual, legal, security and record-keeping requirements.
Retention periods vary according to the type and purpose of the information. Relevant factors may include:
- The duration of a client or prospective-client relationship
- The nature and duration of business correspondence
- Website security and troubleshooting requirements
- Applicable contractual obligations
- Legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements
- The need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims
Website analytics data is retained according to the retention settings configured for the applicable Matomo and Google Analytics systems and is deleted or aggregated when it is no longer required for the applicable analytical purpose.
Information that is no longer required is deleted, anonymized or otherwise disposed of in accordance with applicable requirements and ABC Quant's internal procedures.
Information Security
ABC Quant uses technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, loss or misuse.
Security measures are selected according to the nature of the information, the systems in which it is processed and the risks associated with the processing.
No Internet transmission, website or information system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and ABC Quant cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through the Internet.
