Privacy Policy — FinanceDe.com

Last updated: August 22, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how FinanceDe.com (“FinanceDe,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, shares, and safeguards information about visitors and users. By using the site, you consent to this Policy.

Quick summary: We collect limited personal data you provide (e.g., email for newsletters) and technical data (e.g., cookies, analytics). We use it to operate the site, send updates you request, improve content, and comply with law. You control your preferences and can request access, deletion, or correction of your data.

1) Scope

This Policy applies to information we process when you visit our website, create an account, subscribe to newsletters, submit forms, or interact with our pages on third-party platforms that link back to this Policy.

2) The Information We Collect

A. Information you provide directly

  • Contact details (name, email address, country/region)

  • Account credentials (when applicable)

  • Submissions and forms (comments, inquiries, CV/resume if you choose to send it, feedback)

  • Preferences (job alerts, categories of roles, notification settings)

B. Information collected automatically

  • Device and usage data (IP address, browser type, OS, pages viewed, referring/exit pages, timestamps)

  • Cookies and similar technologies (see “Cookies & Tracking” below)

  • Approximate location inferred from IP

C. Information from third parties

  • Analytics providers, advertising networks, and social platforms (aggregated or pseudonymized data)

  • If you sign in or share content via a third-party service, we may receive certain profile elements as permitted by that service’s settings.

We do not require passports, government ID numbers, or payment card data to access our free content. If we ever offer paid features, payment processing will be handled by a compliant third-party processor; we will not store full card numbers.

3) How We Use Your Information

  • Provide and maintain the site (operate features, troubleshoot, secure the platform)

  • Send communications you request (newsletters, job alerts, sponsorship updates, account notices)

  • Personalize content and recommend relevant articles or opportunities

  • Analytics & improvement (measure traffic, understand engagement, test features)

  • Legal compliance (enforce our Terms, comply with lawful requests, prevent abuse/fraud)

4) Legal Bases (GDPR/UK GDPR)

Where applicable, we rely on:

  • Consent (e.g., email marketing, non-essential cookies)

  • Contract (providing requested services/features)

  • Legitimate interests (site security, fraud prevention, analytics, improving content)

  • Legal obligation (responding to lawful requests)

5) Sharing & Disclosure

We may share information with:

  • Service providers (hosting, analytics, email delivery, customer support) bound by confidentiality and data processing terms.

  • Affiliates/partners (only as needed to provide requested features or for transparent affiliate disclosures).

  • Legal & compliance recipients (if required by law, to protect rights, safety, and security).

  • Business transfers (merger, acquisition, or asset sale—your information may transfer as part of that transaction).

We do not sell your personal information. If we use ad technology that qualifies as “selling” or “sharing” under certain laws (e.g., CPRA), you will be provided a mechanism to opt-out.

6) International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including Nigeria and the EU/EEA, the UK, or the United States. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect personal data during transfers.

7) Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described here, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

8) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data (e.g., encryption in transit, access controls, secure hosting). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Please use strong, unique passwords and notify us promptly of any suspected compromise.

9) Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to:

  • Keep you signed in and remember preferences

  • Measure site performance and traffic

  • Personalize content and, where applicable, advertisements

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and—where required—via our Cookie Banner/Preferences. Disabling some cookies may affect site functionality.

10) Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you

  • Correct inaccurate data

  • Delete your data (subject to lawful exceptions)

  • Restrict or object to certain processing

  • Portability (receive your data in a usable format)
