If you provide us with personal information, e.g., by sending an email or by filling out a form and submitting it through our website, we use that information only to provide you with the information and services that you request. No information will be released without written permission from the applicant, candidate, or certificant unless required by court order or other legal process.
Online Course Usage Information
If you are enrolled in an ANFP online course, the ANFP website collects detail about the course pages you have visited. This information may be used by authorized ANFP staff members to provide technical support to you, to document your course completion, and/or to ensure you receive continuing education hours you have earned.

In order to provide timely and relevant information and services to our website visitors, we collect anonymous information from our website visitors and summarize it in aggregated statistics to analyze information such as: time and length of visits, pages visited, files downloaded, and links/banner ads clicked.

We use it to evaluate and enhance services to all visitors as a group.
E-mail
We use the email and payment information you provide only to process your orders and to fulfill your requests for information.
