The Financial Services Forum (“the Forum,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the information we collect. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share personal information through our website (the “Site”), our advocacy activities, professional interactions, and all other products of services we offer (collectively, the “Services”).

Information We Collect

The information we collect from or about you (“Personal Information”) varies depending on how you use our Site and/or Services. We collect this information in the ways described below.

Information We Collect Automatically

As you navigate through and interact with our Site, we may collect your IP address, browser type, operating system and information about your interaction with our content via cookies or similar technologies.

The technologies used for automatic data collection may include cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on your device. You may refuse to accept certain types of cookies by activating a feature in your browser. However, if you block certain cookies, you may be unable to access all features of our Site. We may also use analytic tools to determine when you use our Site and how you interact with its content.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to protect your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

Accordingly, while we take reasonable steps to safeguard your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and any such transmission is at your own risk.
