September 01, 2024

Findlan Inc (“Findlan”) values its users’ privacy. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) will help you understand how we collect and use personal information from those who visit our website or make use of our online facilities and services, and what we will and will not do with the information we collect. Our Policy has been designed and created to ensure those affiliated with Findlan Inc of our commitment and realization of our obligation not only to meet, but to exceed, most existing privacy standards.


We reserve the right to make changes to this Policy at any given time. If you want to make sure that you are up to date with the latest changes, we advise you to frequently visit this page. If at any point in time Findlan Inc decides to make use of any personally identifiable information on file in a manner vastly different from that which was stated when this information was initially collected, the user or users shall be promptly notified by email. Users at that time shall have the option as to whether to permit the use of their information in this separate manner.


This Policy applies to Findlan Inc, and it governs any and all data collection and usage by us. Through the use of www.findlanassociates.com, you are consenting to the data‑collection procedures expressed in this Policy.


Please note that this Policy does not govern the collection and use of information by companies that Findlan Inc does not control, nor by individuals not employed or managed by us. 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:

  1. What personally identifiable information is collected from you through our website;

  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

  5. The security procedures in place to protect the misuse of your information.


Information We Collect

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.


Why We Collect Information and For How Long

We collect your data for several reasons:

  • To better understand your needs and provide you with the services you have requested;

  • To fulfill our legitimate interest in improving our services and products;

  • To send you promotional emails containing information we think you may like, when we have your consent to do so;

  • To contact you to fill out surveys or participate in other types of market research, when we have your consent to do so;

  • 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 does not now, nor will it in the future, sell, rent, or lease any of its customer lists and/or names to third parties.


Findlan Inc may use personal information to operate our website and ensure delivery of the services you need and request. At times, we may need to use personally identifiable information to keep you informed of other possible products and/or services available to you from www.findlanassociates.com. Findlan Inc may also contact you regarding surveys and/or research questionnaires related to your opinion of current or potential future services.


Findlan Inc uses various third‑party social‑media features—including but not limited to LinkedIn and other interactive programs—that may collect your IP address and require cookies to work properly. These services are governed by the privacy policies of their providers and are not within Findlan Inc’s control.


Disclosure of Information

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;

  • In other ways described in this Policy or to which you have otherwise consented;

  •  In the aggregate with other information, in such a way that your identity cannot reasonably be determined;

  • As required by law, or in response to a subpoena or search warrant;

  • To outside auditors who have agreed to keep the information confidential;

  • As necessary to enforce the Terms of Service;

  • As necessary to maintain, safeguard, and preserve all the rights and property of Findlan Inc.


Non‑Marketing Purposes

Findlan Inc greatly respects your privacy. We do, however, maintain and reserve the right to contact you when necessary for non‑marketing purposes (such as bug alerts, security breaches, account issues, or changes in Findlan Inc products and services). In certain circumstances, we may use our website, newspapers, or other public means to post a notice.

Findlan Inc’s website is not directed to, and does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from, children under thirteen (13).

Security

Findlan Inc takes precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your data is protected both online and offline. Wherever we collect sensitive information (e.g., credit‑card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us securely (look for a lock icon in your browser and “https” in the address bar).

While we use encryption to protect information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
