Privacy

This page collects accounts from people who may have lost money. That makes plain language about what happens to your information more important here than on an ordinary website, not less.

What the form collects

Only what you type into it: your name, email address, optionally a phone number, and your description of what happened, including dates, amounts, what you were told, what documentation you hold, and whether you have already reported it elsewhere. Nothing is pre-filled and nothing is gathered from anywhere else about you.

Along with your answers we record the date and time of the submission, the IP address it came from, and the page you submitted it from. That is kept for one reason: if an account is ever published or passed to a regulator, we need to be able to show when and from where it arrived.

Where it goes

The submission is sent as a single email to one private mailbox, using Resend, an email delivery provider. It is not written to a database, not shared with any other service, never sold, and never added to a mailing list. The site is hosted by Vercel, which keeps standard server logs.

One exception, stated because it would be misleading to leave it out. If the email fails to send twice over, the full text of your submission is written to our server log so that it is not lost, and we retrieve it from there. Those logs expire on their own after a short period. This has not happened to any submission so far, and it exists only so that a delivery problem on our end cannot silently destroy an account somebody took the trouble to write.

Nothing is published without your written permission

Submitting the form does not put anything on this site. An account is published only after the person who gave it signs a release specifically allowing it, and we keep that release on file. If we cannot produce the release, the account does not go up, and if it is already up it comes down.

Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics to count visits. It records the usual things: pages viewed, approximate location by region, browser and device type, and where you arrived from. It does not receive anything you type into the form. If you would rather not be counted, Google publishes an opt-out browser add-on, and most browsers’ tracking protection blocks it as well.

How long it is kept, and how to have it deleted

Submissions are kept for as long as the inquiry is open. You can ask us to delete yours at any time, for any reason, without explaining why, and you do not have to have published anything to ask. Write to info@FPacquingInquiry.com and it will be deleted promptly.

The same address is the right one to use if you believe anything on this site is inaccurate, including anything said about a person named here.

No texts, no marketing

The phone number field is optional and is used only to reach you about your own report. You will not receive marketing calls or text messages from this site, and your number is not passed to anyone who will send them.
