third party not affiliated with their transaction, except as required by law or as necessary to

As we collect and use information about our customers, we may contract with vendors to assist
us in processing that information. These vendors are required to maintain the confidentiality
of the information and are restricted from using the information for any purpose other than
helping to provide fintech.net services to our customers. |

information removed, is sometimes shared with third parties. Finally, we do provide personal data to government
agencies as required by law or regulation.

In addition to the uses of the information described in the paragraphs above, we collect telephone
numbers and e-mail addresses in the event that we have to contact designated parties to resolve
a question or provide information.

What Information We Collect And How We Will Use It |

From time to time, we include survey forms on our Web site asking users for contact

responses from the surveys to better understand our customer's needs and to create web
sites that respond to their interests. Customers may opt-out of participating in
follow-up surveys. fintech.net will not disclose survey response information to
companies or individuals outside fintech.net.
