Scope of the Privacy Policy

Your data’s security is a priority for us. This policy outlines our methods for gathering, utilizing, and securing your personal data on the financingalliance.org site, along with the protective measures we implement. This policy is applicable to all websites under the “financingalliance.org” domain and other sites managed by FAH. On certain sites, you may set up accounts, contribute, join discussions, or seek employment. These sites typically possess their own privacy policies; however, in their absence, this Privacy Policy is in effect.

Be mindful that this Privacy Policy does not extend to non-FAH websites linked from our sites, nor does it cover the collection of your personal data after you navigate to other sites. The presence of links on our sites to other websites does not signify FAH’s endorsement of those sites or their privacy policies.
