Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 28, 2026

Marketing Finance Network (“MFN,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information we collect and process.

This Privacy Policy explains how MFN collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit our website, join our waitlist, apply for membership, purchase or maintain a membership, communicate with us, request or accept an introduction, or otherwise interact with MFN and its services (collectively, the “Services”).

MFN is a private, invite-only business membership and introductions network serving established businesses. MFN provides membership, network access, business-development support, and targeted introductions to relevant independent third parties.

This Privacy Policy applies to information processed by MFN. Independent third parties, payment processors, and other external services may maintain their own privacy practices and policies.

1. Information We Collect

  • Dates and timestamps;
  • Form-completion time;
  • Website activity and interactions;
  • Cookie and similar technology information; and

Where applicable, MFN may maintain records associated with your interactions and consent, including:

  • The disclosure or consent language presented to you;
  • Consent records;
  • Date and time of consent;
  • Form-completion information;
  • Relevant audit records; and
  • Token audit identifiers or hashes.

These records may be maintained for security, compliance, recordkeeping, and dispute-resolution purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

MFN may use personal information to:

  • Process and evaluate membership applications;
  • Validate invitations and manage invite-only access;
  • Manage waitlists;
  • Establish and administer memberships;
  • Process membership payments;
  • Operate and maintain the private MFN network;
  • Conduct initial member calls and understand member business objectives;
  • Provide membership and network services;
  • Provide member support;
  • Facilitate introductions requested or accepted by members;
  • Communicate with members, applicants, and prospective members;

  • Analyze and improve our website, Services, and member experience;
  • Maintain business, administrative, legal, and compliance records;

  • Comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, and governmental requests.

We may also use aggregated or de-identified information for analytics, business operations, security, and improvement of our Services where such information can no longer reasonably identify an individual.

3. Membership Payments

MFN uses third-party payment processors to process membership payments.

Payment-card information is processed by Stripe. MFN does not intend to store full payment-card numbers or card security codes unless separately authorized and handled in accordance with applicable payment-card security requirements.

Stripe processes payment information according to its own terms and privacy practices.

Payments processed through Stripe are for MFN membership and network services. MFN does not use Stripe to receive or distribute third-party financing proceeds, collect loan repayments, or process investment funds on behalf of members or independent third parties.

4. How We Share Information

MFN does not disclose personal information except as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, operate the business, facilitate requested or accepted introductions, comply with legal obligations, or protect MFN and its users.

Service Providers

MFN may share personal information with vendors and service providers that perform functions on our behalf, including providers of:

  • Website hosting and infrastructure;
  • Payment processing;
  • Email and communications;
  • Analytics;
  • Security and fraud prevention;
  • Membership administration;
  • Customer or member support; and
  • Professional, administrative, or technical services.

These providers may process personal information as reasonably necessary to provide their services to MFN and subject to their applicable contractual and legal obligations.

5. Independent Third Parties and Introductions

A feature of MFN membership is the ability to facilitate targeted business introductions.

When a member requests, authorizes, or accepts an introduction, MFN may share appropriate business and contact information with the relevant independent third party for the purpose of facilitating that introduction.

Independent third parties may include financial institutions, capital providers, family offices, receivables-finance providers, investors, buyers, or other strategic business relationships that may be relevant to a member.

An introduction by MFN does not constitute approval, endorsement, underwriting, financing, or a guarantee that a third party will enter into a business relationship or transaction with a member.

Independent third parties determine whether they wish to continue discussions, may request information directly from the member, conduct their own evaluation or diligence, establish their own terms, and enter into their own agreements directly with the member.

Once information is provided to an independent third party in connection with an authorized introduction, that third party is responsible for its own subsequent processing of personal information in accordance with its own privacy practices and applicable law.

MFN does not control the independent privacy or data-processing practices of such third parties.

6. Communications and Consent

MFN may communicate with you regarding:

  • Membership applications;
  • Membership administration;
  • Waitlist or invitation status;
  • Payments and transactions;
  • Requested or accepted introductions;
  • Member support;
  • Account or website security;
  • Changes affecting the Services; and
  • Other administrative or operational matters.

Where required, MFN may separately request consent to receive marketing or promotional communications by email, telephone, SMS/text message, or other electronic means.

Where our website requests consent to calls or text messages, MFN may maintain records of the disclosure presented and related evidence of consent.

Consent to receive marketing calls or text messages is not a condition of purchasing an MFN membership unless expressly stated and permitted by applicable law.

You may opt out of promotional emails using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the communication. Where applicable, you may opt out of text messages by following the opt-out instructions provided in those messages.

Opting out of promotional communications does not prevent MFN from sending necessary transactional, administrative, membership, security, or other non-promotional communications.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

MFN uses cookies and similar technologies that may be necessary for the functionality, security, and operation of our website.

Depending on the technologies implemented on the website and the choices presented through our cookie-consent interface, we may also use functional, analytics, or advertising technologies.

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to:

  • Operate website functionality;
  • Remember preferences;
  • Authenticate or recognize users;
  • Maintain security;
  • Prevent fraud or abuse;
  • Understand website usage and performance;
  • Diagnose technical problems; and
  • Improve our website and Services.

Where required by applicable law, optional cookies or tracking technologies will be used according to the consent choices available to you.

Your browser may also allow you to block or delete certain cookies. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some portions of the website.

8. Data Retention

MFN retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate business, legal, security, and compliance purposes.

The applicable retention period may depend on factors including:

  • The duration of a membership or business relationship;
  • Membership administration requirements;
  • Legal and regulatory obligations;
  • Payment and transaction recordkeeping requirements;
  • Consent and compliance documentation;
  • Fraud and security prevention;
  • Dispute resolution;
  • Enforcement of agreements; and
  • Applicable statutes of limitation.

When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, MFN may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it in accordance with applicable requirements and business practices.

9. Data Security

MFN uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, loss, or misuse.

However, no method of internet transmission, electronic storage, or security system can guarantee absolute security. Accordingly, MFN cannot guarantee that personal information will always remain completely secure.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your place of residence and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These rights may include the ability to:

  • Request access to personal information MFN maintains about you;
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information;
  • Request deletion of certain personal information;
  • Request a copy of certain personal information;
  • Obtain information regarding certain disclosures or uses of personal information;
  • Limit or object to certain processing activities; and
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Certain rights may be subject to exceptions and limitations under applicable law.

MFN may need to verify your identity before processing a privacy request.

Privacy requests may be submitted using the contact information provided in the Contact Us section below.

11. U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under applicable state privacy laws.

Depending on the applicable law and MFN’s obligations under that law, these rights may include access, correction, deletion, portability, and rights concerning certain uses or disclosures of personal information.

California residents may have additional rights under applicable California privacy laws, subject to applicable thresholds, exceptions, and limitations.

MFN will process eligible and verified privacy requests as required by applicable law.

12. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

MFN does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

If MFN engages in activities that are legally defined as a “sale,” “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or similar regulated activity under applicable privacy law, MFN will provide any notices, disclosures, consent mechanisms, or opt-out mechanisms required by applicable law.

13. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website or Services may contain links to websites, platforms, products, or services operated by independent third parties.

MFN does not control the privacy, security, or data-processing practices of independent third parties.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that an independent third party collects or processes directly under its own privacy practices.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies and terms of third-party services before providing personal information directly to those organizations.

14. Children’s Privacy

MFN is a business-oriented membership service intended for established businesses and business users. The Services are not directed to children under 13 years of age.

MFN does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information as required by applicable law.

15. Legal and Security Disclosures

MFN may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable law, regulation, court order, subpoena, or other legal process;
  • Respond to lawful requests from governmental or regulatory authorities;
  • Investigate suspected fraud, abuse, unlawful activity, or violations of our agreements;
  • Protect the security and integrity of our website, Services, and network;
  • Protect the rights, property, privacy, or safety of MFN, our members, or others; or
  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

16. Business Transfers

If MFN is involved in or evaluates a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, change of control, or similar business transaction, personal information may be disclosed or transferred as reasonably necessary in connection with that transaction and subject to applicable law.

MFN may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, business practices, technologies, or applicable legal requirements.

When changes are made, we may update the Effective Date shown at the top of this Privacy Policy.
