This Privacy Policy explains how FWA collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information obtained from users of the Site and services offered by FWA. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy and to our https://financialwellnessacademy.net/terms-and-conditions. The Site is not directed at individuals under 18 years of age.
II. Information We Collect
FWA collects personal information in several ways, including when you register for a program, complete an online form, make a payment, subscribe to updates, or otherwise interact with our Site. This information may include your name, email address, billing and mailing address, telephone number, and other details necessary to process your registration or provide requested services.
We also collect information automatically through cookies, analytics tools, and similar technologies to help us understand how visitors use our Site. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, referring URLs, and the pages you visit. This data helps us improve the Site experience and measure marketing effectiveness.

III. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to help the Site function properly and improve your experience. FWA uses both temporary “session” cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and “persistent” cookies (which remain for a set period or until deleted).
We use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as:
- Remembering your preferences and settings;
- Analyzing how visitors use our Site to improve performance; and
- Delivering relevant content and advertising, including through remarketing or social media networks.
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information, but we may link data collected through cookies to information you have provided to help improve your experience with FWA.
IV. Managing Cookies
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Each browser provides options to delete existing cookies or block new ones. For detailed instructions, see your browser’s support page (for example: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) or visit www.allaboutcookies.org for general information about cookies.
Users located in the European Union may also visit www.youronlinechoices.eu for guidance on managing cookies and online advertising preferences.
Please note that disabling certain cookies may limit some Site functionality. Cookies used by FWA do not store personal information and are designed only to improve performance and user experience.
V. Log Files
Like most websites, FWA automatically collects certain technical information to help us maintain and improve our Site. This information may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring pages, and the date and time of your visit. We use this data only in aggregate form to analyze Site usage trends and performance. It is not linked to personally identifiable information and is used solely to improve the Site’s functionality and security.
VI. Google Analytics
FWA uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site and to help improve its performance. Google Analytics collects information such as the pages visited, time spent on the Site, and general location data based on IP address. This information is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
Google may use cookies and other technologies to collect this data on our behalf. FWA does not send personally identifiable information to Google Analytics, and Google’s policies prohibit the collection of such information. Any data linked to personally identifiable details provided by users is stored securely within FWA’s own systems and is not shared with Google.
We use these insights solely to enhance the user experience, improve our programs and services, and measure marketing effectiveness.
You can learn more about how Google uses this information at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
VII. Special Offers and Updates
Users who create an account, register for a program, or subscribe to updates may occasionally receive communications related to Financial Wellness Academy offerings. These may include newsletters, special offers, educational resources, or reminders about upcoming classes, events, or appointments.
FWA may also use a customer relationship management (CRM) system to send automated or personalized follow-up messages, course updates, or promotional information, and may deliver certain notifications by text message (SMS) if you have provided a mobile number and consented to receive such messages. Standard message and data rates may apply.
Out of respect for privacy, FWA provides clear opt-out or unsubscribe options in every promotional email or text message. You can also contact FWA at privacypolicy@financialwellnessacademy.net to stop receiving marketing communications at any time. Transactional or service-related messages necessary to complete your registration, payment, or program participation will continue as needed.
VIII. Service Announcements
From time to time, FWA may send service-related announcements, such as notices about Site maintenance, program updates, or payment confirmations. These messages are purely informational and not promotional. Because they are necessary for account or service operation, users may not opt out of these communications while their account or registration remains active.
IX. Legally-Required Disclosures
FWA may disclose personal information when required by law or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our legal rights or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, subpoena, or other legal process. We may also disclose information if required for national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance. Any such disclosures will be made in accordance with applicable privacy laws and only to the extent required.
X. Third-Party Websites
The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not operated or controlled by FWA. This may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from external platforms (for example, YouTube).
When you interact with embedded content, those third parties may collect data about you, use cookies, or track your interaction with the embedded material according to their own privacy policies. FWA does not control these third-party data practices and is not responsible for their privacy or security policies.
We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any external sites or platforms they visit or interact with. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected directly through the Site.
