Privacy Policy for the Kaplan Financial Site.
Your privacy is very important to us and we are committed to
protecting it. We understand that our site visitors and registered users
need to be in control of their personal data. This Privacy Policy explains
how and why we collect personal data from you and how we use it. Our Privacy Policy is designed to ensure that you are aware of how your personal data is being used and to provide you with choices about that use.
By visiting the Kaplan Financial Site or submitting your personally
identifiable information to us, you accept the terms described in this Privacy
Policy. From time to time we may modify these rules. We will notify
you of any significant change by posting a notice on our home page and
information collection forms. Your continued use of the Kaplan Financial site
after any modification indicates your agreement to the new terms.
Collection and Use of Personal Data
When you register for our
classes, subscribe to our newsletters, fill out a survey, or request information
from the Kaplan Financial site, we will use our registration screens and online forms to
collect personally identifying information such as your name, address, e-mail
address, and credit card information ("personal data"). We
may also collect some or all of this personal data from you through our print
enrollment forms, or if your employer offers one of our courses. In
addition, if you send us an e-mail or communicate with us offline, we may
collect the personal data that you voluntarily provide us at that time.
We may use your personal data in the following ways:
- for the purpose for which you specifically provided the personal data,
for example to provide one of our online classes, or to deliver the
results of class exams and assignments, or to respond to a specific
inquiry;
- to provide you with information via email about new products or services that we think might interest you.
Anonymous Information. You
can visit most pages on the Kaplan Financial Site without giving us any personal
data. Your visit may automatically provide us with anonymous data that is
not linked to your personal data, such as your IP (Internet Protocol) address,
browser type, operating system, domain name, access times, and referring web
site addresses. Some parts of the Kaplan Financial Site use cookies and embedded
pixel technologies to facilitate your use of the Web site and to track general
traffic. You can learn more about these anonymous data collection devices
in the section entitled Cookies, below.
We use your anonymous data to obtain
general statistics regarding the use of the Kaplan Financial site and its specific Web
pages and to evaluate how our visitors use and navigate our web site on an
aggregate basis. We do not link your anonymous data with your personal data. Sharing with Third Parties
If your employer is providing our courses to you, then upon your
employer’s request, we will provide your class attendance record and exam
results. Otherwise, we share your personal data only with service
providers who help us to run this Kaplan Financial site or to fulfill your
requests. These service providers are restricted from using your personal
data in any way other than for the service they are providing. Other than these service providers, Kaplan Financial does not share your personal data with any other third parties.
We may also need to disclose your personal data to third parties if we,
in our sole discretion, believe it is required by law, to enforce our User
Agreement or this Privacy Policy, or in connection with a sale or transfer of
some or all of our assets in the Kaplan Financial site.
Other than these limited exceptions, Kaplan Financial
will not share your personal data without your permission.

If you are located outside of the United States,
please note that the personal data you provide to us will be transferred to the
United States. Whenever you submit any personal data to us, you consent to
this transfer.

Cookies
We use cookies to allow you to move quickly through our site, to allow you to
take advantage of some of the Kaplan Financial site’s special features, and to collect
information about your use of the Kaplan Financial site. A cookie is
a string of information that is sent by a web site and stored on your hard drive
or temporarily in your computer’s memory. Cookies are small
files and won’t pose any significant disk-space concerns. Some
cookies used by KaplanFinancial.com may remain on the user's computer after they leave
the web site, but most are set to expire within 30-365 days.
Cookies benefit you by creating a more streamlined login process,
keeping track of shopping cart additions and preserving order information
between sessions. As we enable further customization of the site, cookies will
help in assuring that the information provided to you will be relevant to your

but doing so will prevent you from taking advantage of customization and certain
security features. To learn more about cookies and browser functionality, search
for "cookies" in the help function of your browser. We use a service provider to track and analyze non-personal data, such as usage and volume statistical information from site visitors. This anonymous data will not be linked to your personal data. In an effort to provide you with the most relevant web site content and marketing materials, we may also use embedded pixel technologies to help track site usage and response to our marketing campaigns. Again, the anonymous information we capture through this mechanism is not linked to your personal data.

Kaplan Financial is concerned with the security of your personal data. To keep
that data secure, we restrict unauthorized access through protective policies,
