1. Scope and controller
This Privacy Policy applies to the website operated at federated.net by Federated Pacific Group, LLC (“Federated,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). It does not govern third-party websites or services that may be linked from this website.
2. Information associated with the website
Information you choose to provide
This website does not provide an account-registration, contact, investment-inquiry, or other data-submission form. If you independently contact us by email, we may receive your email address and the information contained in your message.
Technical information
Our hosting, network, and security infrastructure may process limited technical information needed to deliver and protect the website, such as an IP address, request date and time, requested page, referring page, browser or device type, and diagnostic or security events. We do not currently use this information to build advertising profiles or track visitors across unrelated websites.
Sensitive information
This website does not request financial account information, government identification numbers, investment account credentials, precise geolocation, health information, or other sensitive personal information. Please do not send confidential deal, portfolio, financial, or personal information by ordinary email.
3. How we use information
We may use information associated with the website to:
- deliver, operate, secure, troubleshoot, and maintain the website;
- respond to legal, privacy, or accessibility inquiries sent to us;
- prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized activity; and
- comply with law and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
4. How we disclose information
We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose limited information to vendors that provide hosting, infrastructure, security, or professional services under appropriate obligations; to authorities or other parties when reasonably necessary to comply with law or protect rights and safety; or as part of a merger, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction subject to appropriate protections.
5. Cookies and tracking choices
We do not currently use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, tracking pixels, or embedded social-media widgets. The website may use strictly necessary technical storage or security mechanisms if required to serve a requested page, protect the service, or remember a choice you make. For more detail, see our Cookie Policy.
Because we do not currently engage in cross-site behavioral tracking, the site does not change its behavior in response to legacy “Do Not Track” browser signals. We do not knowingly permit third parties to collect personal information about your online activities over time and across unrelated websites through this site. Where legally required, we will honor recognized opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control, for any processing to which the signal applies.
6. Legal bases for processing
Where a law requires us to identify a legal basis, we rely on our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and maintaining the website and communicating with business contacts; performance of a requested communication; and compliance with legal obligations.
7. Retention
Technical logs are kept only as long as reasonably necessary for security, diagnostics, and infrastructure operations. If you contact us independently, we retain the correspondence only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose of the communication, legal compliance, recordkeeping, or dispute resolution. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it where reasonably practicable.
8. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may ask us to access, correct, delete, or provide a copy of personal information associated with you; restrict or object to certain processing; or appeal a decision concerning a privacy request.
California residents may request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we hold, correction, or deletion, and may exercise applicable rights without discriminatory treatment. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined for cross-context behavioral advertising, so no sale/share opt-out is presently necessary.
To submit a request, email legal@federated.net with “Privacy Request” in the subject line. We may need to verify your identity and authority to make the request. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.
9. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, and we cannot promise absolute security.
10. International access and transfers
Federated operates across multiple locations, and our providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers. By using the website, you understand that limited technical information may be processed in the United States and other jurisdictions whose laws may differ from those in your location.
11. Children
The website is intended for a professional and business audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us so we can take appropriate action.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal obligations. We will post the revised policy here, update its effective date, and provide additional notice when required by law.
13. Contact us
Questions or requests about this policy may be sent to legal@federated.net. Please do not include sensitive personal, financial, or investment information in an ordinary email.
