Privacy Policy

1. Summary

• No personal data collection via the website: We do not require, request, or store personal information (such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, account details, financial information, or identification documents) through the public site.
• Non-identifying activity data: The site may automatically collect limited technical and usage information (see Section 3) to provide, maintain, and secure the website and understand how users interact with it.
• No cookies for tracking or profiling: The site does not use cookies or similar tracking technologies for marketing, profiling, or third-party advertising. Minimal session cookies or technical cookies may be used only when strictly necessary for site functionality (see Section 4).
• No sharing of personal data: Because we do not collect personal data through the site, we do not sell, trade, or otherwise disclose personal information to third parties. See Section 6 for the limited circumstances where non-identifying data may be shared.
• Contact and engagement: Any requests for services or contact via the site will direct users to contact channels (phone/email) where information will be collected only if you choose to provide it; such communications are governed by separate data-handling practices described in Section 7.

2. Scope and Applicability

This policy applies to the public website(s) operated by Prestige Financial Consultants and to anonymous, aggregated, or technical information collected automatically from visitors. It does not apply to:

• Personal data you provide directly to us via email, phone, client intake forms, or onboarding documents when you engage our services as a client.
• Third-party sites or platforms linked from our website. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

3. Information We May Automatically Collect

We may collect limited technical and usage information that does not identify you as an individual, including:

• Device and browser information: device type, browser type and version, operating system.
• Connection information: IP address truncated or otherwise processed so it is not personally identifiable, network provider (when necessary for diagnostics), and approximate geolocation only at a coarse level (city or region) if derived from IP.
• Usage and activity data: pages visited, date and time of visits, time spent on pages, navigation paths, search terms entered on-site, error logs, and resources requested.
• Performance and diagnostic data: server logs, crash reports, and performance metrics used to monitor and improve site stability and security.

This information is collected automatically by our web server and hosting provider and may be stored in log files. We treat this information as non-identifying unless you explicitly provide personal data through a contact form or other direct communication.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

• Strictly necessary cookies: We may use session or strictly necessary cookies to enable basic site functionality (for example, to maintain your session during a single visit). These cookies do not persist after you close your browser and are not used for tracking.
• No analytics or advertising cookies by default: We do not deploy third-party analytics, marketing, advertising, or tracking cookies that create cross-site profiles or enable targeted advertising.
• User choice: If you are presented with an optional widget or plugin (for example, a chat or scheduling widget) that requires cookies to operate, those cookies are controlled by the provider of that widget; we will disclose such widgets and provide links to the provider’s privacy policies before they are activated.

5. Purposes and Legal Basis for Processing

We use the automatically collected non-identifying data only for legitimate operational purposes:

• To provide, maintain, and secure the website.
• To analyze site usage for performance improvements and troubleshooting.
• To detect, prevent, and respond to security incidents, fraud, or abuse.
• To comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests by public authorities.

Because the site does not collect personal data for visitors, the legal bases (where applicable) focus on our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the website and complying with law.

6. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share personal information with third parties because the public site does not collect personal data. Limited non-identifying technical and aggregated usage data may be shared in these circumstances:

• Service providers: Hosting, security, and infrastructure vendors who process logs or data on our behalf purely to enable site functionality (subject to contractual confidentiality and use restrictions).
• Legal requirements: When required by law, regulation, or a valid legal process (e.g., court order), we may disclose relevant non-identifying or identifying information if you have voluntarily provided it via direct client contact.
• Security and fraud prevention: With third parties to detect, investigate, or prevent security incidents or malicious activity.

We will not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

7. Contact Requests and Forms

The public site does not include mandatory data collection forms. If you use a contact link, email address, phone number, or choose to submit personal information for a consultation or service request, that information will be processed according to our client data-handling practices which include:

• Collecting only information necessary to respond to your inquiry and perform the requested services.
• Storing client information securely with access limited to authorized personnel.
• Retaining client data only as long as necessary for business, legal, or regulatory purposes.

If you would like a copy of the client data-handling policy or data retention schedule, contact us at the address below.

8. Data Retention

• Non-identifying technical logs and aggregated analytics may be retained for a limited period (typically 30–90 days) for security, debugging, and operational analysis, unless longer retention is required to investigate an incident or comply with law.
• Any personal data you voluntarily submit via direct contact or as a client is retained only as necessary for the stated purpose and in accordance with applicable law and our client data policies.

9. Security

We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the website and any data we process. Measures include secure hosting, TLS/HTTPS encryption for all site traffic, access controls, regular security testing, and monitoring for suspicious activity. No system is completely secure; if a security incident affects personal data you have provided to us directly, we will notify affected parties and relevant authorities as required by law.

10. Children

Our website is not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children via the public site. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.

11. International Transfers

Our hosting and service providers may operate in jurisdictions outside your country. Any technical data we store or process with such providers is handled under contracts and safeguards appropriate to protect that information. Because the public site does not collect personal data, international transfer risks are minimal.

12. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in operations or legal requirements. Material changes will be posted on the website with an updated "Last updated" date.
