Privacy Policy

Last Updated:  October 1, 2021

At Foundation 99 (“F99,” “us,” “we,” or our “Foundation”), we believe in providing quality financial guidance to everyone who wants it.  Part of that mission is reflected in our commitment to protecting your privacy rights and providing you with the tools to control how you share your data with us.  We have developed this Privacy Policy to describe for you, as a user of the Foundation 99 Platform (the “Platform”), and the services provided through the Platform (the “Services”),  how we collect your information, how we use it, with whom it may be shared, and your choices about such uses and disclosures. It also covers your access to the website we maintain at https://Foundation99.org (the “Website”).

We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully before using the Platform or Services, or otherwise sharing information with us.  By using the Platform or accessing the Website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.  If you have any questions about our privacy practices, please refer to the end of this Privacy Policy for information on how to contact us.

Please note that many of the Services are provided by our third-party vendors and service providers (the “Providers”), either directly through the Platform or through websites they maintain (but are linked to the Platform and provided for your use). These Providers will generally have their own privacy policies that dictate how they collect, use and share your information.  If you want to learn more about their privacy practices, we encourage you to visit the website of each Provider with which you choose to connect. Accordingly, we generally require that each Provider deliver to you a privacy notice prior to or upon opening any new account, or upon your requesting Service.

 

How We Use The Information We Collect

In general. We may use information that we collect about you to:

  • determine your eligibility to participate in programs or obtain Services, and verify your identity for regulatory purposes;
  • deliver or help coordinate the Services that you have requested from us or the Providers;
  • send you offers and promotions for Services, both our own and those provided by the Providers;
  • manage your account and provide you with customer support;
  • send administrative information to you, such as information regarding the Platform and changes to our terms, including through push notifications and text messages;
  • perform research and analysis about your use of, or interest in, our products, services, or content, or the products, services and content offered by others via the Platform;

  • enforce our terms and conditions or otherwise comply with legal obligations; and
  • perform any other functions described to you at the time of collection.

 

Your Financial information.  We may use your financial information (such as bank or investment account numbers, payment account information, social security number, and other sensitive data) to provide information, at your request, to any of the Providers from whom you request Services through the Platform.  This may be used, for example, to pre-qualify you for credit cards, to protect against or identify possible fraudulent transactions, or to open client accounts. This information is only shared at your request.

 

Information We Collect About You

When you use the Platform or access the Website, we collect information from and about you, your devices, and your interactions with the Services. Some of this information identifies you directly or can be used to identify you when combined with other data. Such information could include:

Voluntary Information.  We may collect and store any personal information you manually enter into the Website or Platform.  This includes identifying information such as your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card information, financial information (such as bank account numbers) and other personally identifiable information. You will generally provide this information to us when you create an account on the Platform or request Services, whether from us or via the Providers. It could also be obtained when you contact us with questions or for customer support, fill out surveys, or otherwise voluntarily engage with F99 representatives or the Platform. Similarly, we may receive information about you from your employer or other program sponsor if you elect to sign up for Services.

Location Information. The Platform may collect and process location information, if you allow it.  If location services are enabled, we collect your device’s precise location when you open and/or use the Platform, as you have authorized. This enables us to display relevant data based on your location, thereby enhancing your user experience. Please refer to your device or web browser’s user guide for more information.

Usage Information. We collect information about your use of the Website and the Platform, including the webpages and sections of the Platform you access, the content you view, and the dates and times of your access. This information could also include the type of browser you use, your IP address and the page you visited before navigating to the Website. We also collect information about the computer or mobile device you use to access the Platform, such as the hardware model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers, mobile network information, and browsing behavior. All of this enables us to ensure the Platform performs adequately based on your device type, as well as to understand how our users engage with our Platform.

You may adjust settings on your mobile device and mobile browser regarding cookies and sharing of certain information, such as your mobile device model or the language your mobile device uses, by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device. Please refer to the instructions provided by your mobile service provider or mobile device manufacturer. If you enable location services on your mobile device, we may collect the location of your device as described above.

Communications. We collect information about any phone, text message, e-mail, or online messaging function you use to communicate with us. This may include, in addition to the text of such communications, the participants’ phone numbers, the date and time, and the contents of SMS messages. All communications (in any form) between you and our customer service team may be recorded or monitored for quality assurance and customer service purposes.

 

Collection of Information by Third-Party Services

Some services we provide you through the Platform require collection of your information directly by third parties, including the Providers. Third parties to whom we may disclose personal information generally have their own privacy policies. Those policies will govern their use, handling and disclosure of your personal information.  If you want to learn more about their privacy practices, we encourage you to visit the websites of those third parties.

Similarly, there are some places in the Platform and on the Website where you may access other websites that do not operate under this Privacy Policy.  You may be taken to a website that we do not control. These third-party websites may independently solicit and collect information, including personal information, from you and in some instances provide us with information about your activities on those websites.  We recommend that you consult the privacy statements of all third-party websites you visit.

 

Tracking

We use various technologies to collect information automatically when you access the Platform or our Website, including cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies. A cookie is a small text file that is stored in a user’s computer for record keeping purposes.  For example, when you access or sign into the Platform, we may record your user or member ID, the name on your user or member account, your device ID, or other identifying information in the cookie file on your computer.  We also may record your password in this cookie file, if you indicated that you would like your password saved for automatic sign-in. For security purposes, we will encrypt any usernames, passwords, and other user or member account-related data that we store in such cookies.  In the case of sites and services that do not use a user or member ID, the cookie will contain a unique identifier.  You may delete or decline cookies by changing your browser settings.

[The Website may also include web beacons or pixels, which are electronic files to count users who have visited that page, to track activity over time and across different websites, to determine users’ interactions with emails we send, to identify certain cookies on the computer or other electronic device accessing that page, or to collect other related information, and this information may be associated with your unique browser, device identifier, or Internet Protocol address. We may, for example, implement a pixel on the Website where you view a certain advertisement so that we can track whether you visit a website associated with that advertisement at a later time.]

[Similarly, third parties may use cookies to deliver advertisements to you based on your visit to the Website or other websites. You may opt-out of cookie tracking and analysis from any of these service providers and advertising networks, but doing so could impede your experience with the Platform.]

 

How We Share and Disclose Your Information

We do not share your personal information with third parties except as indicated below, or when we inform you and give you an opportunity to opt-out of having your personal information shared.  In particular, we do not share or sell your information to third parties for advertising purposes, except as noted below. We will only share personal information that you provide to us in the following circumstances:

  • With your consent. This happens when you submit service requests through the Platform. For example, if you direct that we assist with account opening or help to pre-fill application information with a Provider, then you are authorizing us to share necessary and relevant personal data with that Provider. In turn, those Providers may use and disclose your information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
  • Partners with whom we conduct business. When we partner with other businesses to offer products and services, we may share information with those Providers only as needed to provide those products and services and only subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Our Foundation, however, may at times enter into agreements with Providers whereby we will agree to market the Services they have agreed to offer via the Platform, and we may use your information to do so, including to provide you with the most relevant and timely marketing materials.

 

Other situations. We also may disclose your information:

  • In response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.
  • When we believe disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of the Foundation, our users, our partners, our employees, or others; or to enforce our website terms and conditions or other agreements or policies.
  • In connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, spin-out, asset sale, merger or consolidation, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.
  • Aggregated Information. We may share aggregated and non-personal information we collect under any of the above circumstances. We may also share aggregated information with third parties, including advisors, partners and potential or current donors for the purpose of conducting general business analysis, soliciting donations for the Foundation, or marketing to our users generally.

 

Email and SMS Management

You may receive email or text messages from F99 for a variety of reasons; for example, if you took an action through the Platform, you signed up for a regular report, or we are making you aware of system updates. If you have an account with F99, you can manage your communication preferences through your account settings. Also, you can manage your receipt of some types of communication by following the instructions included in the emails or text messages we send you. Please note that, even if you unsubscribe from certain email correspondences, we may still need to email you with important transactional or administrative information.

 

How you can access your information

If you have an account with us, you can review and update your personal information online by signing into your account through the Platform. You can also review and update your personal information by contacting us.  More information about how to contact us is provided below.

You may disable your account by deactivating your account through the Platform or contacting us at info@Foundation99.org. After deactivation, you will not be able to sign into the Platform or Website or access any of your personal information or transaction history.  Even after termination, we may still retain certain information associated with your account for analytical purposes and recordkeeping integrity, as well as to prevent fraud, enforce our terms and conditions, take actions we deem necessary to protect the integrity of our systems or our users, or take other actions otherwise permitted by law.  In addition, if certain information has already been provided to third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, retention of that information will be subject to those third parties’ policies.

 

How we protect your personal information

Protecting your personal information is important to us, and we take appropriate security measures (including physical, electronic and procedural measures) to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure.  For example:

  • We employ a sophisticated network firewall, web application firewall, and DDoS protection layer designed to keep intruders out.
  • We comply with the highest design standards and best practices of our cloud service providers.
  • Only authorized employees and contractors are permitted to access personal information, and they do so only for permitted business functions.
  • Stored data is protected by encryption at rest and sensitive data by application-level encryption. We do not store user’s bank credentials.
  • We use industry leading solutions around intrusion detection systems, file integrity monitoring, application control, application and audit log aggregation and automated patching

 

We want you to feel confident using the Platform and the Website.  However, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information, searches, or other communications will always remain secure.

 

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We will occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices and services.  When we post changes to this Privacy Policy, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy.  If we make any material changes in the way we collect, use, and/or share your personal information, we will notify you by sending an email to the email address you most recently provided us in your account, profile or registration (unless we do not have such an email address).  We recommend that you check our Website from time to time to inform yourself of any changes in this Privacy Policy or any of our other policies.

The minimum age to use our Services is 18, and we do not knowingly provide Services to anyone under such age. In addition, access to the Platform, Website and our Services are not intended or appropriate for children under 13 years of age and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. No one under age 13 may provide any information to us in any manner. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at info@Foundation99.org.
