If you visit a website that we mention or link to, be sure to review its privacy policy before providing the site with information. We highly recommend that you review the privacy policies and statements of any website you choose to use or frequent to better understand the way in which websites gather, use, and share the information collected.

Specifically, this Policy will inform you of the following:

2. Why we collect personally identifiable information and the legal basis for such collection;

3. How we use the collected information and with whom it may be shared;

4. What choices are available to you regarding the use of your data; and

It is always up to you whether to disclose personally identifiable information to us; however, if you elect not to do so, we reserve the right not to register you as a user or provide you with any products or services. This website collects various types of information, such as:

• Voluntarily provided information that may include your name, address, email address, billing and/or credit‑card information, etc., which may be used when you purchase products and/or services and to deliver the services you have requested.

In addition, Findlan Inc may collect non‑personal, anonymous demographic information—such as age, gender, household income, political affiliation, race and religion—as well as the type of browser you are using, IP address, or operating system, to help us provide and maintain superior‑quality service.

Please rest assured that this site will only collect personal information that you knowingly and willingly provide to us by way of surveys, completed membership forms, and emails. It is the intent of this site to use personal information only for the purpose for which it was requested and any additional uses specifically provided for in this Policy.

• To customize our website according to your online behavior and personal preferences.

The data we collect from you will be stored no longer than necessary. The retention period is determined by: the time your personal information remains relevant; the time it is reasonable to keep records to demonstrate that we have fulfilled our duties and obligations; any limitation periods within which claims might be made; retention periods prescribed by law or recommended by regulators, professional bodies, or associations; the type of contract we have with you; the existence of your consent; and our legitimate interest in keeping such information as stated in this Policy.

Use of Information Collected

Findlan Inc may not use or disclose the information provided by you except under the following circumstances:

• As necessary to provide services or products you have ordered;
