Clear and simple.
At the Institute of Business & Finance we take your privacy very seriously. Because of this we want to provide you with explicit information on how we collect, gather, and identify information during your visit to our site.
The Institute of Business & Finance does not pass personally identifiable information of our users to anyone.
Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name, phone number, email or postal address. In many cases, we need this information to provide the personalized or enhanced service that you have requested.
The amount of Personally Identifiable Information that you choose to disclose to the Institute of Business and Finance is completely up to you. The only way we know something about you personally is if you provide it to us in conjunction with one of our services.
Your continued use of our site signifies your acceptance of our privacy policy.
What information do we collect and how do we use it?
The Institute of Business & Finance collects information on our users in three ways:
- Your voluntary submissions (for instance, if you sign up for one of our email newsletters)
- Surveys
- Cookie technology
In our effort to provide personalization and opportunities for prizes and services, we may at times ask you to submit information such as your name or email address, or to share your interests and hobbies with us. You never have to answer these questions, and you can decline this exchange of information on any site on the Internet - not just ours - at any time.
However, if you should choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with some of the services dependent upon the collection of this information, such as a personalized stock portfolio, a sweepstakes entry, or the purchase and shipment of products and prizes to people who visit our network.
The information the Institute of Business & Finance collects is used in a variety of ways:
- For internal review
- To improve the content of the site
- Thus making your user experience more valuable
- To notify you about updates to the service
- To let you know about products and services that you may be interested in
That is all. If you have any further questions, please contact us.
With whom does the Institute of Business & Finance share the information it gathers/tracks?
We don't. Simple as that.
And as a valued consumer, we offer you the option to "opt out" of our own marketing opportunities.
