Introduction

Finances Portal has created this Privacy Policy to show our commitment to ensuring accountability to your security and peace-of-mind with regards to the protection of your personal information.

This Policy applies to Finances Portal which is a web-based credit counselling service that aids its clientele - that’s you - in debt management. Because of the nature of our service it is necessary for us to collect certain information concerning you. This privacy policy will outline what information we gather, how we use it, as well as your rights and ours.

What We Know About You

Because we are an internet based company, there are two types of information we collect from you; personal and aggregated information. The first type you are aware of, this is all your personal information you knowingly (and hopefully willingly) provide us. We may collect any or all of the information that you give us depending on the type of transaction you enter into, including your name, address, telephone number, fax number and email address.

Due to the nature of our services we will also require information about your debts; this may include the amount of debt, your payment status and the amount of secured and unsecured debt you may be in.

Information given with regards to credit card payments is processed by a trusty company named SecureRights on a secure website linked to ours and they have their own privacy policy.

Aggregated Information

The second type of information is aggregated over the internet. Information about how you use our website is collected by means of a standard technology called ‘cookies’ and Web server logs. The data that is aggregated may include the date and time of your visits and/or transactions, which pages on our website you viewed, how long you were on a particular page, and even which websites you visited before and after ours.

‘Web beacons’ are also used so that we and our advertisers can determine which advertisements and promotions you have seen and how you respond to them - pretty clever eh? All of this information is collected on a collective basis as opposed to individually. This information helps us to improve our website and services to you!

What are we going to do with your information?

Other than using your information to execute our services, we reserve the right share your registration information with our partners. Your information may be used to further our communications with you. We may use your details to target market you or send you promotional data. Your contact details may also be used by us to gain feedback from you about our services. You will be given the opportunity to remove yourself from any mailing list or similar device.

If you turn out to be a really bad person - we reserve the right to disclose your information to a third-party if required to do so by law or if we believe this to be necessary.

Changes to this Policy

If any changes to our Privacy Policy are made, we will place them here. These changes will supersede this version of our Policy. We will take practical steps to let you know about the said changes in our Policy. However, to be on the safe side, we suggest that you read this document each time you use the website to ensure that it still meets with your approval.

Contacting Us

If you have any questions regarding our Privacy Policy, or if you are nosey and want to know what information we have collected about you, please email us at info@finances-portal.com.
