When you visit our website.

When you visit our website, we may place a cookie on your device so that our system can recognize you when you make a return visit. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored on your computer, mobile phone, or other devices. Along with cookies, we may also use third-party tracking technology, such as but not limited to, Google Analytics, to record similar information regarding you and your activity on our site. We use these technologies to keep track of your preferences and improve your experience with the site. Cookies and similar technologies are required for site functionality. You are not required to accept any cookies to use this site. However, refusing to accept cookies will greatly impair your ability to use some areas.

To enable us to continually improve the content we offer our website visitors, as well as for administration purposes, we collect aggregate information site-wide. This gives us an idea of which parts of our website you are visiting. We do not link IP addresses to personal information, which means a visitor’s session will be tracked, but the user’s personal identity will remain anonymous… and we do not take any action to comply with ‘do not track’ signals.

Information Gathered from Visitors.

We collect certain information from you in order to provide you with the best online experience possible. We collect information that you input into our website, as described under “Information Gathered from Clients” below.

When including, compiling, or aggregating personal information for such purposes, we make sure that the information is anonymized such that it is not identifiable to any particular client.

Information Sharing.

We will not rent or sell personal information to third parties, and we will not otherwise disclose personal information to third parties, without your permission, except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

In order to provide financial services, we might establish a business relationship with other persons or entities for the purpose of serving you as a client (“Service Providers”), such as consumer identification verification services and public accounting firms. We also may disclose some of the personal information we collect to Service Providers to provide other services including Web hosting, data processing, analytics tools, data management, and Web development. We generally require that each Service Provider implement and maintain privacy practices that are consistent with our own.

In certain instances, we may disclose your personal information when we have reason to believe it is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against persons or entities who may be causing injury to you, to Retire Smarter or its affiliates, or to others. We may also disclose your personal information when we believe the law or legal process requires such disclosure.

We also may share personal information with entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Retire Smarter.

We may also disclose personal information in specific other cases with your consent. Retire Smarter advertises our services on websites not affiliated with Retire Smarter, and we contract with third-party advertising companies to display our ads. These third-party advertising companies, along with data exchanges and similar providers, may use cookies and similar technologies to collect technical and web navigational information, such as device type, browser type, IP address, and pages visited. We do not provide any information to these advertising companies that could personally identify our users or clients, and they do not collect such information for us.

Retire Smarter and third-party advertising companies may use the data they collect to provide you with ads relevant to you and personalized content while you are on Retire Smarter or other sites. If you prefer not to receive targeted advertising, you can opt out of some network advertising programs that use your information by visiting the NAI Opt-Out Page. Please note that even if you remove your information by opting out, you will still see advertisements while browsing online. Additionally, many network advertising programs allow you to view and manage the interest categories they have compiled from your online browsing activities. These interest categories help determine the types of targeted advertisements you may receive. The NAI Opt-Out Page provides a tool that identifies its member companies that have cookies on your browser and provides links to those companies. Because mobile devices may vary in how they operate and may not use cookies, the choice management options listed above may not work for all mobile devices and mobile apps.
