We will not use or disclose your information to anyone, except as detailed in this Privacy Policy.
Collection and Use of Information
CFIC utilizes the information we collect to evaluate how our services are used, diagnose technical or service issues, maintain security, personalize content, retain information to assist you in accessing your account, monitor aggregate metrics (i.e. traffic, total number of visitors, and demographic patterns), and track users and user content required for compliance with applicable laws.

Cookies
When you visit CFIC’s Website, one of more “cookies” (small data files) may be sent to your computer to uniquely identify your web browser and permit CFIC to assist you in logging in more quickly, and to enhance navigation through our site. Cookies have the ability to convey anonymous data about your browsing habits, but cannot collect personal information about you. A persistent cookie remains on your computer after your browser is closed so that it can be used by your browser on future visits to the Website. To remove persistent cookies, follow the instructions for your web browser. A session cookie is temporary and will disappear when you close your web browser. Your browser can be set to refuse all cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is being sent by a site. If the ability to accept cookies is disabled in your browser, however, some elements of the Website may not function correctly.
Log Files
Every time you access a web page, log file data is automatically reported by your browser. When you use CFIC’s service, our servers automatically record certain data that your browser sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may include data like your Internet Protocol Address (IP), browser type, web request, referring/exit pages and URLs, domain names, number of clicks, landing pages, pages viewed, and other, similar data.
How We Share Your Information
Personally Identifiable Information
For the purposes of providing our services to you, CFIC may share your personally identifiable information with third parties. Should this occur, the third parties’ use of your data will be bound by this Privacy Policy. We may store personal information in locations outside of CFIC’s direct control (i.e. on databases or servers co-located with hosting providers). CFIC will not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. In the course of business development, we may elect to purchase or sell assets or business offerings. In these types of transactions, customer, email, and visitor data is usually one of the business assets transferred. We may also assign or transfer this information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or dissolution.
We may disclose or share your information with your consent, such as if you elect to sign on to the Website through a third-party service. We cannot control the use of your information by third-parties.
CFIC may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or subpoena, or if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with a regulation, law, or legal request; to protect the safety of any individual, to address security, fraud or technical issues; or to the rights or property of CFIC.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
CFIC may share non-personally identifiable information with interested third parties to assist them in understanding usage patterns for specific CFIC services. Such information may include anonymous usage data, referring/exit Pages and URLs, platform types, number Of Clicks, and similar data.
CFIC may permit third-party ad servers or ad networks to serve advertisements on our Website. These third-party ad servers or ad networks utilize technology to send the ads and links that appear on the CFIC Website, directly to your browser. Your IP address is automatically received by these parties in the process. When this occurs, they may also use other technologies like JavaScript, Cookies, or Web Beacons to assess the efficiency of their ads and personalize their ad content.
CFIC will not share any personally identifiable data to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent. Please be advised, however, that should an advertiser ask CFIC to show a particular advertisement to a specific audience and you respond to that ad, the advertiser or ad server may determine that you match their target audience description. The CFIC Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the actions of, third-party advertisers. For more information, please consult the respective privacy policies of the specific advertisers.
How We Protect Your Information
To protect the security and integrity of your personal information, CFIC utilizes commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards. However, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you submit or transmit to CFIC or guarantee that your data on the Website may not be altered, destroyed, accessed, or disclosed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. Should personal information be compromised due to a security breach, CFIC will promptly notify those individuals whose personal data is affected, in accordance with the notification procedures detailed in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law.
Your Choices About Your Information
It is your right to decline to submit personally identifiable information through our Website. Unfortunately, this means that CFIC may be unable to provide you with some of its services.
