Anova Financial Corp. ("ANOVA" or "we") is committed to protecting the privacy of
visitors to the ANOVA Website. Our privacy policy exceeds existing congressional
legislation under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act of 1999 which
requires financial institutions to provide customers with the ability to “opt-out
of information sharing. ANOVA has taken this step beyond by adopting a policy that
no information will be shared beyond our internal use unless required by law – we
are committed to not making money off of selling your confidential information –
compare and you will agree, this is truly unique within the industry. We only gather
visitor information and distribute the information within the company in order to
respond to visitor information requests. This privacy policy explains the guidelines
we use in protecting your privacy.
