Effective date: October 5, 2026
GIS ("Fortune 100 Brokers," "we," "us") operates fortune100brokers.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and who we share it with. We share personal information with third parties, including financial professionals, firms and marketing partners, and some of that sharing may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under state privacy laws. You can opt out as described in Section 8.
Fortune 100 Brokers is an independent directory and community poll. We are not affiliated with Fortune Media or the FORTUNE 100 list, and we are not a broker-dealer or investment adviser.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us. When you request an introduction, vote, contact us, subscribe or create a profile, we may collect your name, email address, phone number (including mobile number), ZIP code or city and state, the financial goals and preferences you select, approximate investable assets range if you choose to provide it, the professionals or firms you are interested in, and the content of your messages.
Information collected automatically. We and our partners collect IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, referring URLs, search terms and filters used on the Site, approximate location derived from IP address, and cookie or similar identifiers. See our Cookie Policy.
Information stored in your browser. Saved profiles, comparisons and conversation plans are stored in your browser's local storage for up to 30 days. This data stays on your device unless you submit a form.
Information about financial professionals. Our directory contains professional information about registered representatives, investment adviser representatives and firms, drawn from public regulatory records and licensed or client-provided data sources described on our Directory Sources page. We exclude home addresses, dates of birth and personal contact fields. Professionals may request correction or removal under Section 9.
Information from third parties. We may receive information from data providers, advertising partners, analytics providers and the financial professionals you contact, and we may combine it with information we hold.
2. How we use information
We use personal information to operate and improve the Site; match you with and introduce you to financial professionals; administer voting and publish poll results; send you emails, calls and text messages you have consented to; verify identity and prevent fraud and duplicate voting; measure and personalize advertising; comply with law; and enforce our Terms of Service.
3. How we share information
We share personal information with the following categories of third parties:
Financial professionals and firms. When you request an introduction or submit a form, we share your contact details and the information you provided with the professionals or firms you selected, and with other professionals or firms we identify as a match, as disclosed on the form at the time you submit it.
Marketing partners. We may share or sell your contact information and stated interests to third-party marketing partners, including financial services, insurance, investment research and newsletter publishers, who may contact you about their products and services. A current list of partners is available at [PARTNER LIST URL].
Advertising and analytics providers. We allow third parties to collect device identifiers and browsing activity on the Site for analytics and targeted advertising.
Service providers. Hosting, email and SMS delivery, customer support, fraud prevention and data processing vendors that act on our instructions.
Affiliates. Companies under common ownership or control with GIS.
Legal and safety. Regulators, courts, law enforcement or others when required by law or to protect rights, safety or property.
Business transfers. A buyer or successor in a merger, acquisition, financing or sale of assets.
Third parties that receive your information use it under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices. To stop hearing from a partner, opt out with that partner directly as well as with us.
4. Calls, texts and emails (TCPA)
We and the financial professionals and marketing partners we share your information with will contact you by phone call or text message only with your prior express written consent, given by checking an unchecked box on a form that names who may contact you. Those calls and texts may use automated technology or prerecorded or artificial voices. Consent is not a condition of any purchase or of using the Site. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies.
You can revoke consent at any time by any reasonable method, including replying STOP (or QUIT, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, REVOKE or OPT OUT) to a text, saying so on a call, emailing info@fortune100brokers.com. Reply HELP for help. We honor revocations within 10 business days and may send one text confirming your opt-out. Revoking consent with us does not revoke consent you gave directly to a third party; contact them as well. We scrub telemarketing contacts against the National Do Not Call Registry and our internal do-not-call list.
If you give us a phone number, you confirm you are the subscriber or customary user of that number. Tell us promptly if your number changes.
Marketing emails include an unsubscribe link, and we honor unsubscribe requests as required by the CAN-SPAM Act.
5. Data retention
We keep personal information as long as needed for the purposes above, including at least 5 years for records of communications consent and opt-outs, and longer where required by law.
6. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of information you transmit.
7. Children
The Site is for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18, and we do not sell or share the personal information of consumers we know are under 16.
