    We, the publisher and operator (the “Company”) of the Finance Degree Programs website (the “Site”), respect your privacy and recognize the need for appropriate protection and management of information you share with us by using our site.

    This privacy policy (the “Policy”) explains our policies and practices with respect to all information collected through the Site. Please take the time to read and understand this Policy. By using the Site or providing any personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) to the Site, you accept and agree to these terms.

    Information Collection and Use

    Personal Information

    Personal information includes, but is not limited to, your name, email address, street address, telephone number, gender, age, educational background, and educational interests.

    Currently, we do not collect any Personal Information on the Site. However, as you navigate the Site and determine to seek additional information about a particular school (the “School”), you will be asked to fill-out a form that will require you to provide certain Personal Information (the “Form”). Please be advised that the Form is hosted on that school’s website (the “School Website”) or the website of a third-party (the “Third Party”), who then passes the Personal Information on to the school (the Third Party Website).

    The Form should provide you a link (the “Link”) to the applicable School Website privacy policy (the “School Privacy Policy”) or Third Party privacy policy (the “Third Party Privacy Policy”). BEFORE filling-out and submitting the Form, be sure to review the applicable School Privacy Policy or Third Party Privacy Policy in order to make your own determination as to whether or not you wish to provide the requested Personal Information.

    DISCLAIMER: The placement of the Form does not imply that we endorse or have reviewed these third party sites or their respective privacy policies. The provision of a Link is not our responsibility. Nor is it our responsibility to assure the accuracy of any Linked-to information. We specifically disclaim any responsibility or liability for the conduct of the School or Third Party with respect to the use of your Personal Information and adherence to their posted privacy policy.

    Additionally, the Site may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information that you provide while visiting such sites; such sites are not governed by this privacy statement.

    You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.
