PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND USE ON THIS WEBSITE

We gather customer information needed to provide you with superior service, communicate information that we believe will be of interest to you, and administer our business.

We do not collect any personal information about you on our website unless you choose to provide it to us voluntarily. We define “personal information” as information that is unique to you. Examples might include your birth date, or we may ask you to voluntarily provide other personally identifiable information if you subscribe to an email program (information such as your e-mail address), or choose to provide us with your preference information (such as interests and financial objectives). If you encounter a screen or page that requests information you do not want to share with us, do not enter the information and do not proceed with that screen or page.

If you do provide us with personal information, we will only use it for the purposes described where it is collected or to aggregate data in a manner that does not identify you for benchmarking purposes, and we will not sell, license, transmit, or disclose this information outside of FiPath or our affiliates unless (1) you expressly authorize us to do so, (2) to provide our services to you, (3) it is disclosed to entities that perform marketing or data aggregation services on our behalf, (4) it is necessary for connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of FiPath or the merger of FiPath into another entity or any consolidation, share exchange, combination, reorganization, or like transaction in which FiPath is not the survivor, or (5) otherwise as we are required or permitted by law.

There may be services and products offered by third parties advertising on our websites, and entities and individuals unaffiliated with us may recommend the use of their services on our websites. If you choose to use any such products or services, disclose information to the providers, or permit them to collect information about you, then their use of your information is governed by their privacy policies. You should evaluate the practices of external service providers before deciding to use their services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. If you click on a link to a third-party site, we encourage you to check the privacy policy of that site.
