    We strive to make sure that our information is reliable, accurate, and current. While personal information is maintained by FIA Tech, you may access your personal information as permitted by law to ensure that it is accurate. If you are not an FIA Tech System User, but you are a customer or client of an FIA Tech System User, you should contact the System User with whom you do business to make any requests relating to your personal information. FIA Tech will process such personal information in accordance with any MSA, DPA, or other agreement that governs our relationship with the particular System User. 

    Depending on the laws of the jurisdiction in which you live, you may have rights in your personal information.   

    For Residents of the European Union  

    The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides EU residents with certain rights in their personal information.  You have the right to access your information, and in some circumstances to correct or erase it.  You may also restrict or object to its use.   

    EU residents have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority in an EU member state.  For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.   

    We respond to all requests from EU residents wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.  If FIA Tech only processes your personal information on behalf of a System User then, in the first instance, you should contact the System User to exercise your data rights.   

    In the event we are unable to resolve any complaints you may have about our handling of your personal data, EU residents have the right, under certain conditions, to invoke a binding arbitration. Individuals may file a complaint with our designated independent alternative resolution provider.  See the section titled “Resolution of Complaints” for more information.

    Nevada residents have the right to access and/or correct their personal information, or opt out of the sale of personal information.

We will respond to your verified request as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days after receipt. If circumstances cause any delay in our response, you will be promptly notified and provided a date for our response.  

    We do not sell or license your personal information to third parties. Under Nevada law, residents have the right to direct us to not sell or license your personal information to third parties.

    In addition, FIA Tech may share personal information if there is a change in FIA Tech’s ownership. This situation is detailed in the section titled “Sale of Business” below.

    9. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

    FIA Tech will retain your personal information as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Because certain personal information—for example, your email address—is required to use our paid-for services, we retain that personal information as long as your account is active. We may retain and use your personal information after you have canceled your account as necessary to comply with our business requirements, legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect our assets, and enforce our agreements. 

    As a processor for System Users, FIA Tech will maintain data for so long as indicated in the agreement with the particular System User.

We may disclose personal information in special circumstances when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our terms of service, to detect fraud, or to protect the safety and/or security of our users, the FIA Tech website, or the general public.  

    FIA Tech is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, by using any of the above, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information.

              7. SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

              FIA Tech may disclose personal information to its Corporate Affiliates.  

              FIA Tech may disclose personal information to service providers or strategic partners for the purposes of operating our business; delivering, improving and customizing our products or services; sending marketing and other communications related to our business; payment processing and other legitimate purposes permitted by applicable law, or otherwise with your consent.  

              There may also be instances when FIA Tech may need to disclose your personal information to honor a request that you have made through the products or services or when we believe we are required to do so as a matter of law. For more information, see the section titled “Laws and Legal Rights” below.  

              In addition, FIA Tech may share personal information if there is a change in FIA Tech’s ownership. This situation is detailed in the section titled “Sale of Business” below.  

              As a processor on behalf of System Users, FIA Tech may be instructed to disclose personal information to other System Users or counterparties, or, in some instances, to fulfill regulatory requirements.     FIA Tech may be required, and reserves the right to, disclose personal data to public authorities for security or law enforcement purposes when lawfully required to do so in response to legal mechanisms.   


              8. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION 

              FIA Tech has physical, administrative, and technical safeguards in place to help protect the personal information FIA Tech collects and stores. We will take reasonable and appropriate steps, in view of the risks, to ensure the security of your personal information while it is in our custody and control. 


              9. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

              FIA Tech will retain your personal information as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Because certain personal information—for example, your email address—is required to use our paid-for services, we retain that personal information as long as your account is active. We may retain and use your personal information after you have canceled your account as necessary to comply with our business requirements, legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect our assets, and enforce our agreements. 

              As a processor for System Users, FIA Tech will maintain data for so long as indicated in the agreement with the particular System User.

FIA Tech will process such personal information in accordance with any MSA, DPA, or other agreement that governs our relationship with the particular System User.

                      For Residents of the European Union  

                      The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides EU residents with certain rights in their personal information.  You have the right to access your information, and in some circumstances to correct or erase it.  You may also restrict or object to its use.   

                      EU residents have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority in an EU member state.  For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.   

                      We respond to all requests from EU residents wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.  If FIA Tech only processes your personal information on behalf of a System User then, in the first instance, you should contact the System User to exercise your data rights.   

                      In the event we are unable to resolve any complaints you may have about our handling of your personal data, EU residents have the right, under certain conditions, to invoke a binding arbitration. Individuals may file a complaint with our designated independent alternative resolution provider.  See the section titled “Resolution of Complaints” for more information.

                      7. SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

                      FIA Tech may disclose personal information to its Corporate Affiliates.  

                      FIA Tech may disclose personal information to service providers or strategic partners for the purposes of operating our business; delivering, improving and customizing our products or services; sending marketing and other communications related to our business; payment processing and other legitimate purposes permitted by applicable law, or otherwise with your consent.  

                      There may also be instances when FIA Tech may need to disclose your personal information to honor a request that you have made through the products or services or when we believe we are required to do so as a matter of law. For more information, see the section titled “Laws and Legal Rights” below.  

                      In addition, FIA Tech may share personal information if there is a change in FIA Tech’s ownership. This situation is detailed in the section titled “Sale of Business” below.  

                      As a processor on behalf of System Users, FIA Tech may be instructed to disclose personal information to other System Users or counterparties, or, in some instances, to fulfill regulatory requirements.     FIA Tech may be required, and reserves the right to, disclose personal data to public authorities for security or law enforcement purposes when lawfully required to do so in response to legal mechanisms.   


                      8. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION 

                      FIA Tech has physical, administrative, and technical safeguards in place to help protect the personal information FIA Tech collects and stores. We will take reasonable and appropriate steps, in view of the risks, to ensure the security of your personal information while it is in our custody and control. 


                      9. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

                      FIA Tech will retain your personal information as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Because certain personal information—for example, your email address—is required to use our paid-for services, we retain that personal information as long as your account is active. We may retain and use your personal information after you have canceled your account as necessary to comply with our business requirements, legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect our assets, and enforce our agreements. 

                      As a processor for System Users, FIA Tech will maintain data for so long as indicated in the agreement with the particular System User.

                                6. RIGHT TO ACCESS, CORRECT, RESTRICT USE OF AND ERASE PERSONAL INFORMATION 

                                We strive to make sure that our information is reliable, accurate, and current. While personal information is maintained by FIA Tech, you may access your personal information as permitted by law to ensure that it is accurate. If you are not an FIA Tech System User, but you are a customer or client of an FIA Tech System User, you should contact the System User with whom you do business to make any requests relating to your personal information. FIA Tech will process such personal information in accordance with any MSA, DPA, or other agreement that governs our relationship with the particular System User. 

                                Depending on the laws of the jurisdiction in which you live, you may have rights in your personal information.   

                                For Residents of the European Union  

                                The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides EU residents with certain rights in their personal information.  You have the right to access your information, and in some circumstances to correct or erase it.  You may also restrict or object to its use.   

                                EU residents have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority in an EU member state.  For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.   

                                We respond to all requests from EU residents wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.  If FIA Tech only processes your personal information on behalf of a System User then, in the first instance, you should contact the System User to exercise your data rights.   

                                In the event we are unable to resolve any complaints you may have about our handling of your personal data, EU residents have the right, under certain conditions, to invoke a binding arbitration. Individuals may file a complaint with our designated independent alternative resolution provider.  See the section titled “Resolution of Complaints” for more information. 

                                For Residents of Nevada

                                If you are a Nevada resident and would like to review, correct, or update your personal information, you or your authorized representative may submit your request to fiatech-privacy@fia-tech.com. We will respond to your verified request as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days after receipt.

                                We do not sell or license your personal information to third parties. Under Nevada law, residents have the right to direct us to not sell or license your personal information to third parties. To exercise this right, if applicable, you or your authorized representative may submit a request to fiatech-privacy@fia-tech.com. We will respond to your verified request as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days after receipt.

                                7. SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

                                FIA Tech may disclose personal information to its Corporate Affiliates.  

                                FIA Tech may disclose personal information to service providers or strategic partners for the purposes of operating our business; delivering, improving and customizing our products or services; sending marketing and other communications related to our business; payment processing and other legitimate purposes permitted by applicable law, or otherwise with your consent.  

                                There may also be instances when FIA Tech may need to disclose your personal information to honor a request that you have made through the products or services or when we believe we are required to do so as a matter of law. For more information, see the section titled “Laws and Legal Rights” below.  

                                In addition, FIA Tech may share personal information if there is a change in FIA Tech’s ownership. This situation is detailed in the section titled “Sale of Business” below.  

                                As a processor on behalf of System Users, FIA Tech may be instructed to disclose personal information to other System Users or counterparties, or, in some instances, to fulfill regulatory requirements.     FIA Tech may be required, and reserves the right to, disclose personal data to public authorities for security or law enforcement purposes when lawfully required to do so in response to legal mechanisms.   


                                8. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION 

                                FIA Tech has physical, administrative, and technical safeguards in place to help protect the personal information FIA Tech collects and stores. We will take reasonable and appropriate steps, in view of the risks, to ensure the security of your personal information while it is in our custody and control. 


                                9. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

                                FIA Tech will retain your personal information as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Because certain personal information—for example, your email address—is required to use our paid-for services, we retain that personal information as long as your account is active. We may retain and use your personal information after you have canceled your account as necessary to comply with our business requirements, legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect our assets, and enforce our agreements. 

                                As a processor for System Users, FIA Tech will maintain data for so long as indicated in the agreement with the particular System User.

We may disclose personal information in special circumstances when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our terms of service, to detect fraud, or to protect the safety and/or security of our users, the FIA Tech website, or the general public.  

                                FIA Tech is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). 

                                We also may be required to disclose an individual’s personal information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. 


                                12. SALE OF BUSINESS 

                                We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, dissolution or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of FIA Tech or any of its Corporate Affiliates, or that portion of FIA Tech or any of its Corporate Affiliates to which the information relates, or in the event that we discontinue our business or file a petition or have filed against us a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Statement. 


                                We may provide you with access to other websites and services.

                                FIA Tech is incorporated in the United States. Information collected by us may be transferred to our offices, Corporate Affiliates or third parties located in the United States. In addition, information collected by us may be transferred to locations throughout the world, wherever our business contacts and counterparties may be located, and this information may be viewed and processed in countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, by using any of the above, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information.

                                            We strive to make sure that our information is reliable, accurate, and current. While personal information is maintained by FIA Tech, you may access your personal information as permitted by law to ensure that it is accurate. If you are not an FIA Tech System User, but you are a customer or client of an FIA Tech System User, you should contact the System User with whom you do business to make any requests relating to your personal information. FIA Tech will process such personal information in accordance with any MSA, DPA, or other agreement that governs our relationship with the particular System User. 

                                            Depending on the laws of the jurisdiction in which you live, you may have rights in your personal information.

                                            In the event we are unable to resolve any complaints you may have about our handling of your personal data, EU residents have the right, under certain conditions, to invoke a binding arbitration. Individuals may file a complaint with our designated independent alternative resolution provider.  See the section titled “Resolution of Complaints” for more information. 

                                            For Residents of Nevada  

                                            Nevada residents have the right to access and/or correct their personal information, or opt out of the sale of personal information.

                                            We do not sell or license your personal information to third parties. Under Nevada law, residents have the right to direct us to not sell or license your personal information to third parties.

                                            7. SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

                                            FIA Tech may disclose personal information to its Corporate Affiliates.  

                                            FIA Tech may disclose personal information to service providers or strategic partners for the purposes of operating our business; delivering, improving and customizing our products or services; sending marketing and other communications related to our business; payment processing and other legitimate purposes permitted by applicable law, or otherwise with your consent.  

                                            There may also be instances when FIA Tech may need to disclose your personal information to honor a request that you have made through the products or services or when we believe we are required to do so as a matter of law. For more information, see the section titled “Laws and Legal Rights” below.  

                                            In addition, FIA Tech may share personal information if there is a change in FIA Tech’s ownership. This situation is detailed in the section titled “Sale of Business” below.  

                                            As a processor on behalf of System Users, FIA Tech may be instructed to disclose personal information to other System Users or counterparties, or, in some instances, to fulfill regulatory requirements.     FIA Tech may be required, and reserves the right to, disclose personal data to public authorities for security or law enforcement purposes when lawfully required to do so in response to legal mechanisms.   


                                            8. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION 

                                            FIA Tech has physical, administrative, and technical safeguards in place to help protect the personal information FIA Tech collects and stores. We will take reasonable and appropriate steps, in view of the risks, to ensure the security of your personal information while it is in our custody and control. 


                                            9. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

                                            FIA Tech will retain your personal information as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Because certain personal information—for example, your email address—is required to use our paid-for services, we retain that personal information as long as your account is active. We may retain and use your personal information after you have canceled your account as necessary to comply with our business requirements, legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect our assets, and enforce our agreements. 

                                            As a processor for System Users, FIA Tech will maintain data for so long as indicated in the agreement with the particular System User.

                                            FIA Tech is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

                                                          We strive to make sure that our information is reliable, accurate, and current. While personal information is maintained by FIA Tech, you may access your personal information as permitted by law to ensure that it is accurate. If you are not an FIA Tech System User, but you are a customer or client of an FIA Tech System User, you should contact the System User with whom you do business to make any requests relating to your personal information. FIA Tech will process such personal information in accordance with any MSA, DPA, or other agreement that governs our relationship with the particular System User. 

                                                          Depending on the laws of the jurisdiction in which you live, you may have rights in your personal information.

                                                          The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides EU residents with certain rights in their personal information.  You have the right to access your information, and in some circumstances to correct or erase it.  You may also restrict or object to its use.   

                                                          EU residents have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority in an EU member state.  For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.

                                                          In the event we are unable to resolve any complaints you may have about our handling of your personal data, EU residents have the right, under certain conditions, to invoke a binding arbitration. Individuals may file a complaint with our designated independent alternative resolution provider.  See the section titled “Resolution of Complaints” for more information.

                                                          Nevada residents have the right to access and/or correct their personal information, or opt out of the sale of personal information.  

                                                          If you are a Nevada resident and would like to review, correct, or update your personal information, you or your authorized representative may submit your request to fiatech-privacy@fia-tech.com.

                                                          7. SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

                                                          FIA Tech may disclose personal information to its Corporate Affiliates.  

                                                          FIA Tech may disclose personal information to service providers or strategic partners for the purposes of operating our business; delivering, improving and customizing our products or services; sending marketing and other communications related to our business; payment processing and other legitimate purposes permitted by applicable law, or otherwise with your consent.  

                                                          There may also be instances when FIA Tech may need to disclose your personal information to honor a request that you have made through the products or services or when we believe we are required to do so as a matter of law. For more information, see the section titled “Laws and Legal Rights” below.  

                                                          In addition, FIA Tech may share personal information if there is a change in FIA Tech’s ownership. This situation is detailed in the section titled “Sale of Business” below.  

                                                          As a processor on behalf of System Users, FIA Tech may be instructed to disclose personal information to other System Users or counterparties, or, in some instances, to fulfill regulatory requirements.     FIA Tech may be required, and reserves the right to, disclose personal data to public authorities for security or law enforcement purposes when lawfully required to do so in response to legal mechanisms.   


                                                          8. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION 

                                                          FIA Tech has physical, administrative, and technical safeguards in place to help protect the personal information FIA Tech collects and stores. We will take reasonable and appropriate steps, in view of the risks, to ensure the security of your personal information while it is in our custody and control. 


                                                          9. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

                                                          FIA Tech will retain your personal information as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Because certain personal information—for example, your email address—is required to use our paid-for services, we retain that personal information as long as your account is active. We may retain and use your personal information after you have canceled your account as necessary to comply with our business requirements, legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect our assets, and enforce our agreements. 

                                                          As a processor for System Users, FIA Tech will maintain data for so long as indicated in the agreement with the particular System User.

FIA Tech will process such personal information in accordance with any MSA, DPA, or other agreement that governs our relationship with the particular System User.

                                                                          FIA Tech may disclose personal information to service providers or strategic partners for the purposes of operating our business; delivering, improving and customizing our products or services; sending marketing and other communications related to our business; payment processing and other legitimate purposes permitted by applicable law, or otherwise with your consent.  

                                                                          There may also be instances when FIA Tech may need to disclose your personal information to honor a request that you have made through the products or services or when we believe we are required to do so as a matter of law. For more information, see the section titled “Laws and Legal Rights” below.  

                                                                          In addition, FIA Tech may share personal information if there is a change in FIA Tech’s ownership. This situation is detailed in the section titled “Sale of Business” below.  

                                                                          As a processor on behalf of System Users, FIA Tech may be instructed to disclose personal information to other System Users or counterparties, or, in some instances, to fulfill regulatory requirements.     FIA Tech may be required, and reserves the right to, disclose personal data to public authorities for security or law enforcement purposes when lawfully required to do so in response to legal mechanisms.   


                                                                          8. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

                                                                          9. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

                                                                          FIA Tech will retain your personal information as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Because certain personal information—for example, your email address—is required to use our paid-for services, we retain that personal information as long as your account is active. We may retain and use your personal information after you have canceled your account as necessary to comply with our business requirements, legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect our assets, and enforce our agreements. 

                                                                          As a processor for System Users, FIA Tech will maintain data for so long as indicated in the agreement with the particular System User. 


                                                                          10. COOKIES

For more information, see the section titled “Laws and Legal Rights” below.  

                                                                                                                In addition, FIA Tech may share personal information if there is a change in FIA Tech’s ownership. This situation is detailed in the section titled “Sale of Business” below.  

                                                                                                                As a processor on behalf of System Users, FIA Tech may be instructed to disclose personal information to other System Users or counterparties, or, in some instances, to fulfill regulatory requirements.     FIA Tech may be required, and reserves the right to, disclose personal data to public authorities for security or law enforcement purposes when lawfully required to do so in response to legal mechanisms.   


                                                                                                                8. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

                                                                                                                9. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

                                                                                                                As a processor for System Users, FIA Tech will maintain data for so long as indicated in the agreement with the particular System User.

                                                                                                                                      As a processor for System Users, FIA Tech will maintain data for so long as indicated in the agreement with the particular System User.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  As a processor for System Users, FIA Tech will maintain data for so long as indicated in the agreement with the particular System User.
