Finazon Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10/03/2023

Finazon LLC (“Finazon”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information that you (“you” or “user”) may provide to us through your use of our website located at https://finazon.io (the "Website"), the Finazon platform (the “Platform”), our social media pages, and any other products or services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, our “Services”).

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into, and is part of, our Terms of Service available at Terms of Use which govern your access to and your use of the Services. If you have entered into a separate agreement with us, that separate agreement shall control, and only those terms within this Privacy Policy that do not conflict with such separate agreement shall apply. This Privacy Policy does not cover data or information we receive from third parties, and it does not cover third-party products and services. If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us at [email protected].

By accessing the Services, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Services. Each time you use the Services, the current version of this Privacy Policy will apply. Accordingly, when you use the Services, you should check the date of this Privacy Policy (which appears at the top) and review any changes since you last reviewed the Privacy Policy.

Please note, if you are using the Platform on behalf of a Finazon customer, your information is governed by the applicable customer’s terms and privacy policy, not by this Privacy Policy.

Information we collect

We collect two types of information from users of our Services: “Personal Information”, which is information that you provide that can be used to identify you (such as your name or your email address), and “Aggregate Information,” which is information that cannot be used to identify you (such as frequency of visits to the Services and your browser type).

Information you provide to us

We collect Personal Information that you voluntarily provide to us when you use our Services. For example, you may provide us with your contact information such as your email address, first and last name, the content of your communication, or other Personal Information when you choose to submit such information to us through email, an online form, or other method (such as contacting us through the chat feature on our Services). If you interact with us on social media, we may collect your social media profile information, your communications with us, and your communications and posts on our social media pages.

If you sign up for our newsletter or mailing list, we collect the information you submit, and you are signing up to receive marketing and other communications from us.

Finazon Platform

Finazon Account. We collect Personal Information of users of the Platform to create an account and use the Platform, such as your name and email address. If you use the Platform as a business user, we also require that you provide information about your company, including the address, and contact information for administrative functions such as billing. We also collect any other information that users submit or cause to be submitted to the Platform, which may include Personal Information.

Verification of Non-Professional or Professional Status. When you purchase certain data feeds through the Platform, we are required to verify your non-professional or professional status, as applicable. To do so, we are required to collect additional information from you including information relating to your employment, your investing activities, your associations, your affiliated organizations, and other required information.

Your communications with us

We collect information when you communicate with us. The specific types of information we collect will depend on the forum in which you communicate with us. For example, if you send us an email, we will collect your email address and the content of your email.

Information we automatically collect

When you use our Services, we automatically receive and collect information from your device. This information includes the following:

  • Information about your device, such as the operating system, hardware, system version, Internet Protocol (IP) address, device ID, and device language.
  • Your country and general location, time zone, and language used.
  • The specific actions that you take when you use our Services, including but not limited to the pages and screens that you view or visit, search terms that you enter, and how you interact with our Services.

If we have collected your Personal Information through our “Careers” page in response to a job opening, you are giving us permission to use and retain your Personal Information for the purpose of evaluating your application for employment consideration for the specific position that you applied to, as well as other roles at Finazon. This Personal Information may be processed and stored by a third-party talent tracking solution provider as well as with vendors, consultants, and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work relating to the recruitment process on our behalf.

Aggregate information collected

Aggregate Information is information that does not identify you. Aggregate Information may be collected when you use our Services, independent of any information you voluntarily enter. Additionally, we may use one or more processes to de-identify information that contains Personal Information such that only Aggregate Information remains. We may collect, use, store, and transfer Aggregate Information without restriction.

Cookies and analytics

How we share your information

Like most companies, we share information, including Personal Information, in certain circumstances with third parties through the operation of our Services and our business. Below, we explain when that happens.

Finazon Platform

When you purchase certain data feeds through the Platform, we share your contact information with the provider of such data feed(s) for auditing purposes. The providers of certain data feeds may also require that you enter into contracts and agreements directly with the provider that governs your use of the data feed. You may be required to agree to additional terms from the provider of such data feed(s), which may include terms that govern the provider’s treatment of your information.

Additionally, when you purchase certain data feeds through the Platform, we may disclose your information to third parties in order to verify your non-professional or professional status, as applicable.

Service providers

We may transfer Personal Information to third parties for the purpose of providing the Services or operating our business. For example, we may transfer your Personal Information to third-party service providers to assist with providing the Services, and to communicate with you about current or future offerings.

We also use third-party payment processors to process your payments made by credit or debit card, and if we offer additional payment methods, your information may be disclosed to the providers of such methods, as applicable.

Google Sheets use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy (https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy), including the Limited Use requirements.

Required transfers

We may also transfer your Personal Information to third parties under the following circumstances: (i) to comply with a legal requirement, law, subpoena, judicial proceeding, court order, governmental request, or legal process; (ii) to investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; (iii) in connection with the sale, purchase, merger, asset sale, financing, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution of Finazon, including the evaluation thereof; (iv) when we believe it is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Finazon or other persons, or (v) as otherwise required or permitted by law, including any contractual obligations of Finazon.

Aa directed by you and with your consent

Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, we share Personal Information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of Finazon only at your direction or when we have your consent to do so.

International transfer

Our Services are hosted in the United States. If you use our Services from the United Kingdom, European Union, or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from United States law, then please note that by sending an email or other communication containing Personal Information or by providing Personal Information through our Services, you are voluntarily transferring your Personal Information outside of those regions to the United States.

Residents of the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom

Residents of the EEA, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom have additional privacy rights. Information on these rights is provided in our supplemental European Economic Area, Switzerland, and United Kingdom Resident Privacy Notice below.

Purposes of the processing The purposes of the processing are described in the section entitled Information we collect.
Lawful basis for the processing Our legal basis for processing personal data is described in the main Privacy Policy and will depend on the personal data concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. Generally, we process personal data on the basis that the processing is necessary for purposes of our legitimate interest in conducting our business in a manner typical in the US financial data marketplace industry, having taken into account any risks to your fundamental rights and freedoms (including your right to privacy).
We also may process personal data on other bases permitted by the GDPR, the UK Data Protection Act 2018, and other applicable laws, such as to fulfill a contract with you, or when the processing is necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations.
The legitimate interests of the controller or third party, where applicable Our specific legitimate interests, such as responding to your requests, comments, and questions, providing you with support and improving the Services, providing the Services, completing your transactions, and verifying your status and identity, are described in the section entitled Information we collect.
The categories of personal data concerned The categories of personal data that we process are described in the section entitled Information we collect.
The recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data The potential recipients of the personal data that we collect via the Services are described in the section entitled How we share your information.
Information regarding the transfers of personal data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, and the United Kingdom (UK) Finazon LLC is headquartered in the USA, and the Services are hosted in the USA. The laws of the USA have not been deemed by the European Commission, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
When you provide your personal data to us via the Services or contact us by email, you are providing your personal data directly to the USA.
Before you provide your personal data to us via the Services, we request your explicit consent to the transfer of your personal data to the USA.
When you email us, the fact that you have chosen to email us knowing that we are located in the USA will be understood to constitute your explicit consent to the transfer of the personal data in your email (including your email address) to the USA.
Regardless of the differences in US and European privacy laws, we safeguard your personal data as described in our main Privacy Policy and this section. If we transfer your personal data to a third party, we require the third party to commit contractually to process your personal data only in ways that are consistent with our main Privacy Policy and this supplemental notice.
The period for which the personal data will be stored or the criteria for determining the retention period How long we retain personal data varies according to the type of data in question, the purpose for which it is used, and applicable data retention and record-keeping requirements. We delete personal data within a reasonable period after we no longer need to use it for the purpose for which it was collected or for any subsequent purpose that is compatible with the original purpose. This does not affect your right to request that we delete your personal data before the end of its retention period. We may archive personal data (which means storing it in inactive files) for a certain period prior to its final deletion, as part of our ordinary business continuity procedures.
Your rights to access, correct, restrict, or delete your personal data and object to processing You have the right to request access to your personal data, to have your personal data corrected, restricted, or deleted, the right to data portability, and to object to our processing of your personal data.
