Our Website is not for use by any individual under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from any individual under the age of 13.

Information We Collect About You.
Generally, you can visit our website, read articles and other materials, and check on offerings without giving us any “personal information” (defined below). So that we can provide our users with the most efficient and enhanced personalized service, we request information about you in certain circumstances, and collect certain information automatically. We also use contact lists and other information we may obtain from third parties. Our website may allow you to purchase tickets from our authorized vendor. To purchase tickets, you will be required to provide personally identifiable information and payment information.
Personal Information
By “Personal Information” we mean information that identifies you individually, such as names, mailing addresses, mobile numbers and/or email addresses. This term does not include other kinds of electronic information, which theoretically could be used to identify you, such as the IP address of your computer (which, if combined with the time of access and information from your internet service provider, could be used to identify you by name). Such other electronic information also includes browser type, domain name, the referring website address, etc. We use this automatically collected electronic information to facilitate your online experience at our websites.
We collect personal information from you when you make a purchase, subscribe to one of our newsletters, or register for access to our online library.
The information we collect may include your email address, name, address, phone number, age, gender, family information, and similar demographic information or information related to your interests. To purchase services from our website, you will need to provide a valid payment option and provide sufficient information to verify your identity to process such payment requests. Of course, you may decline to provide even “required” information, but will then be unable to participate in those website activities.
Information you provide will be used for customer service, communication, account servicing, and marketing. Some information will be aggregated or modified to meet the requirements of the service provided.
How Do We Use Cookies?
CFO may use “cookies” in connection with operation of its website. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on your computer by the CFO website server(s). Cookies are used for record-keeping purposes so the stored information can be retrieved by the CFO website server(s) when you return to the website.
Cookies allow us to personalize or regulate the use of our website, and also permit us to automate the access and data-entry functions of the site (e.g., sign up information) and to tailor the appearance or presentation of the site to your preferences or interests. In general, we do not use cookies to track the navigational habits of identified users without the user’s consent.
The use of cookies is common in the industry, and they are used at most major websites. Cookies will not be used to pass any information from your computer except the specific information placed into the cookie from one participating CFO webpage when the cookie is retrieved by another participating CFO webpage.
The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons by changing the add-on’s settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer. However, if you elect not to accept cookies, some parts of the website may not function properly or permit access. For more information on cookies, see http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq.htm.
How Do We Use Web Beacons?
We may use web beacon technologies throughout our sites to assess traffic patterns, determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, determine unique visitor counts, and create an improved user experience throughout our sites. Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, which are commonly used in the industry and on many major websites. We also may include web beacons in promotional email messages or electronic newsletters to determine the effectiveness of those campaigns.
When a user accesses a page or email containing a web beacon, a notice of that access is generated and sent to us. Because web beacons work in conjunction with cookies, users who do not want this information considered in association with anonymous cookie information should set their browsers to turn off cookies. (When users turn off cookies, web beacon technologies will still detect users visits anonymously, but this information cannot be associated with other user information and is disregarded).
What About Third Party Advertisers?
CFO does not currently use third party advertisements on its Websites. This may change in the future. If such a change is made, this policy will be updated.
Text Messaging Policy
By providing your mobile phone number and opting in, you consent to receive SMS or text messages from CFO Accounting LLC. These messages may include service updates, appointment reminders, alerts, and promotional content. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier.
You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message. For help, reply HELP or contact us at wecare@cfoadvisors.net or 804-378-0087. Your information will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and we do not sell or share your phone number with unaffiliated third parties for their marketing purposes.
Mobile Information (Text Messaging Privacy)
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
What Do We Do With Your Information?
We use information you provide to fulfill your requests, improve our website and newsletters, curate a convention we think you may enjoy, and operate our business. For example, we use personal information so that we may display or send custom, personalized content to our website visitors, and to send newsletters, mail, emails, features, promotional material, surveys and other updates, information or offers to our users and subscribers. We also use collected information to evaluate and administer our products and services, respond to any problems that may arise (e.g., difficulties in navigating our sites or accessing certain features), and gauge user trends to determine what products and services are most popular with users.
We may produce reports for sponsors, partners, and vendors containing anonymous, aggregate information about our users and subscribers, such as demographic, age and online usage information. This allows us to provide content and offers that are most relevant to our users, and to work more closely with promotional partners.
How Do We Share Personal Information?
Personal information is available to CFO, including our technical and fulfillment providers, agents, and consultants who make this website and our services available to you. Anonymous information is available to our sponsors and promotional and business partners. We share your personal information with third parties only as described below.
CFO and Its Providers and Agents. CFO may use both anonymous, aggregate demographic data, and any personal information you provide for internal marketing or other business purposes, including sending you notices of new websites, publications, services or products we offer likely to be of interest. There are many companies who may be required to assist CFO in making its services and websites available to you. Web host firms, technical and database consultants, advertising agencies, and fulfillment firms, including firms assisting us in offering sweepstakes, contests, and other promotions, may have access to personally identifiable information in the course of making our products and services available. All companies working with CFO must comply with our information collection, use and disclosure policies, and are not permitted to sell your information to third parties or to use it except as authorized by us and you, or as permitted or required by law.
Credit Card Companies. As in most financial transaction, your credit card company will have all relevant information about the name of the vendor, item(s) purchased, and date and total cost. On those parts of the website where you are required to enter your credit card information to complete a transaction, CFO will provide your personal information to your credit card company to ensure safe and timely process of your transaction. CFO will not otherwise provide any personal data to your credit card company.
Sponsors and Promotional and Business Partners. We share anonymous, aggregate demographic information (such as gender, age, income, hobbies, interests, etc.), and anonymous information obtained from cookies and similar technologies, with our sponsors, promotional and business partners. No personally identifiable information is disclosed to any of these third parties in providing these reports. If collected, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and passwords are not shared with sponsors or promotional partners, and are only shared with specific vendors with whom you place an online order.
Offline and online contact information is handled differently. Offline contact information (i.e., your name and mailing address) is shared with third parties who require that information to fulfill their obligation to provide products or services and communicate with you about a transaction. If you opt-out of our sharing this information, the third party will be unable to communicate with you.
Trusted Fulfillment Partners. Sometimes we will give you the opportunity to opt in to receive email offers directly from third parties not affiliated with CFO. If you decide to accept these offers, we will provide your contact information to the third party. As our trusted fulfillment partners may keep and use your information whether or not you purchase their products or use their services, your personal information will be subject to their privacy policies, and you should contact them directly for more information about their specific privacy and opt-out policies.
Important Note

Accessing and Correcting Your Information.
You may contact us to request access to, correct or delete any Personal Information that you have provided to us. We may not be able to delete your Personal Information without also deleting your user account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
You may unsubscribe to any of our online email updates or newsletters by following the unsubscribe instructions in the communication.
California Residents.
Under California Law SB 27, California residents are afforded expanded rights to information about shared personal information, or are required to have the free ability to opt-in or opt-out of such sharing. This privacy policy fully affords you the rights not to have your personal information shared by us.

Limitation of Liability.
By providing us with any personal information you expressly and unconditionally release and hold harmless CFO, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents from any and all liability for any injuries, loss or damage of any kind arising from or in connection with the use and/or misuse of your collected personal information. In addition, while CFO takes efforts to ensure the proper and appropriate use of CFO data provided by CFO to third party companies, promotional partners or vendors, CFO is not liable for any loss, damage, or injury of any kind arising from or in connection with the use and/or misuse of your collected personal information by CFO or the above-mentioned non-CFO entities.
