Financial Trust (“Financial Trust,” “we,” “us”) is committed to respecting your privacy and recognizes your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) you share with us. Financial Trust has established this Privacy Policy to inform you about what information we may collect from you on the publicly available portion of financialtrust.com (the “Site”) and through various other interactions with you, and how we may use and share that information.

Please take a moment to review the terms of our Privacy Policy. By using the Site and/or providing us with Personal Information, you agree to accept the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site or provide us with any Personal Information. This Privacy Policy applies to information that we collect on the Site and to information which we may collect by other offline means, including, without limitation, sales calls and other business transactions. A description of the information we collect on behalf of our advertiser clients through our advertising services is set out in our Notice of Marketing Practices.

What Information Do We Collect?

Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home, business, or other physical address, a phone number, and an email address. We collect Personal Information from our Site users and customers only when such information is voluntarily provided to us, including, without limitation, in connection with inquiries about our services through the “Contact Us” page, as part of signing up for our email subscriptions, or during the process of business transactions with us.

To make our content more relevant to you, we may also ask for information about your place of employment, such as company name, size, industry sector, and the number of employees. If you contact us about a job opening, we may also collect the Personal Information provided during that inquiry.

We also offer a variety of email subscriptions where you can get information about financial services, industry updates, promotions, and special offers. You can subscribe and manage your email preferences at any time. If you become a client of Financial Trust, we will always retain the right to email you regarding your account or the services we are providing.

How We May Use Your Information

If you provide us with Personal Information, we may retain and use that information for several purposes, including facilitating and addressing your inquiries, requests, subscriptions, or business transactions and relationship with Financial Trust. For example, we may use your Personal Information to respond to your questions or service requests. We may also use this information to ensure compliance with our policies and applicable laws.

Who We May Share Your Information With

We may sometimes engage other companies to perform certain services on our behalf, such as maintaining the Site, managing emails, or processing requests. We may provide Personal Information to those companies only when necessary for them to complete a transaction or perform their duties. Financial Trust takes reasonable steps to ensure these third-party service providers are obligated to protect Personal Information on our behalf.

We will not sell or share your Personal Information with any unaffiliated third parties for marketing purposes. In the event Financial Trust or substantially all of its assets are acquired, all collected data may be part of the transferred assets.

We reserve the right to disclose Personal Information in special circumstances when we believe it is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing harm to our rights or property, our users, or others. We may also disclose information when required by law.

Non-Personal Information

From time to time, we may collect general, non-personal, statistical information about the use of the Site, such as referring websites, visit timestamps, visitor IP addresses, duration on certain pages, and link clicks. We may use this information to improve the Site and better serve our users. We may group this data in the aggregate and share it with partners or government agencies, but such information will not personally identify any individual user.
