We understand your potential privacy concerns especially in today’s ever changing internet world. We urge you to fully review this policy from time to time to make sure it meets your personal expectations on privacy. If it fails to meet your expectations of privacy, we strongly urge you to unsubscribe from our mailings.
The Finance Link is a permission-based email marketing website. We collect information provided by you to our website or to our clients’ websites. We manage opt-in email lists generated by other organizations. We do not share or sell your registration information.
Our Use of Your information
We may ask you to give us contact and demographic information when you register. We use this information to send our Site’s users like you information about the Site. We also use this information to contact you and to send you promotional offers on line. By registering with us or on any of our sites, you specifically grant us permission to send you promotional offers via email. You may opt-out of receiving any future mailings by following our opt-out procedures. See the section entitled “Our Opt-Out Procedures” below.
In addition, as we continue to develop our business, we or our affiliates may sell or buy other businesses or entities, or we may merge with another company. In such transactions, personal information may be one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that The Finance Link or substantially all of its assets are acquired, your personal information may be one of the transferred assets.
Your information may be stored and processed in the United States, or in any other country in which we or our affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities. By using this web site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.
After your account becomes inactive (that is, if you request to be removed from our database), we will keep your personal information in our archives. Your information will then be used only as necessary for tax reasons or to prove our compliance with any applicable law.
We collect the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail, information volunteered by the consumer, such as survey information and/or site subscriptions. We also collect information provided to us in the course of a subscription. A "subscription" occurs when a consumer registers for the Company's services, either via registration at our website, via opt-in co-registration at a marketing partner's website, or via an opt-out permission pass / opt-out mailing. The Company collects personally identifiable information about subscribers, based on information provided to us at the time of registration, subscriber interaction and response to subsequent electronic mailings and website use, and perhaps information provided by marketing partners or data aggregators. Information collected may include, but is not necessarily limited to: name, email address, postal address, gender, birth date, telephone number, activity, interests, and other demographic information. This information enables us to better tailor our content to subscribers' needs and to help our clients to promote and sell their products and services.
The information we collect is used to contact consumers for marketing purposes. If you do not want to receive e-mail from us in the future, please unsubscribe from our services.
