Information Collection

Types of Information Collected

Fundcentrics collects a variety of information to enhance your experience on our platform. This includes personal information such as names, email addresses, and contact details that users provide while registering or filling out forms on our website. Additionally, we collect non-personal information through interaction with our site that does not identify individual users, such as browser type, device information, and IP addresses. Ultimately, the collected information aids us in improving our content and services tailored to the needs of our audience regarding investment knowledge and financial product reviews.

Methods of Information Collection

We utilize a range of methods to gather information from our users. Information may be collected through online forms that users complete while seeking advice or requesting resources on Fundcentrics.

Our user-centric approach drives the continuous enhancement of the resources provided in the financial domain.

Voluntary vs. Automatic Information

The information we collect can be categorized into two primary types: voluntary and automatic. Voluntary information is actively provided by users, such as when they sign up for newsletters or access specialized financial tools on our site.

While we take significant steps to secure user data, it is imperative that users also participate in safeguarding their own information. Users are encouraged to create strong, unique passwords and to change them regularly. Additionally, it is crucial not to share account details with anyone else, as this can compromise their security.

Additionally, we will provide information on what steps are being taken to remedy the breach and provide recommendations for users to protect their personal information. Continuous improvement measures will be implemented to mitigate future risks and enhance our security infrastructure.

Retention of User Information

Fundcentrics retains user information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law. Once the information is no longer needed, we ensure its secure deletion or anonymization, safeguarding user privacy. Our data retention policy is periodically reviewed to comply with legal obligations and internal policy guidelines.

Our commitment to responsible data retention is central to maintaining user trust and integrity at Fundcentrics.
