WARNING

Men’s Finance Advice does not publish any advice content. Any content you see in the Facebook group is from other members who may not be a professional and it should be consumed as educational and entertainment purposes only.

Any comments or advice that you read online should be read as general financial advice only which does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Because of that, you should consider if the advice is appropriate to you and your needs, before acting on the information. If you do choose to buy a financial product read the product disclosure statement (PDS) and Target Market Determination (TMD) and obtain appropriate financial advice tailored to your needs.

If you need financial advice tailored to your own personal situation, please click “get help” on the menu of this website and we will be happy to refer you to one of our trusted advisers.

YES, WE MAKE MONEY

In order to provide you with transparency and in that spirit, we would like to share how we make money. This website & social media (such as the Facebook group) may be compensated through third party advertisers.

We may receive money from charging a fee for online money courses, webinars and referrals to financial advisers, mortgage brokers and accountants when we introduce you. Sometimes a financial adviser, accountant or mortgage broker will pay us a fee to advertise within the Facebook group or this website. Any referral fees paid to us will be disclosed to you by the professional we referred you to (this is the law). There is no additional cost to you by using our referral service.

We may also sell display advertising, both directly and through third parties such as Google AdSense.

When you click to apply for certain products and services through our site, we may receive compensation from the company that issues that product (affiliate commission). We do not do affiliate marketing for financial products. This compensation enables us to maintain our growing community.

We strive to be transparent about which products we receive compensation for. We will endeavour to disclose commercial relationships so a reasonable person would be able to acknowledge that it’s a paid arrangement or ad.

Some professionals we refer individuals to do not pay us a fee or pay to advertise with us - we just send people to the most appropriate professional.

While life is grey and we can’t please everyone (sorry), we will only accept money from companies or brands that we believe will benefit our community.

LINKED WEBSITES

We provide links to third party sites. Since we do not control these websites, we encourage you to review the privacy policies posted on these (and all) third party sites.

CHILDREN

This website is aimed at Australian residents over the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18. We encourage parents to go online with their kids.

Here are a few tips to help make a child's online experience safer:

  • Teach kids never to give personal information (name, address, phone, school, etc), unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult.

  • Know the sites your kids are visiting and which sites are appropriate. Look for Web site privacy policies.

  • Know how your child's information is treated.

COOKIES

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer which help us provide a better user experience for example by measuring which Web site areas are of greatest interest. We may also use cookies when you register for one of our Web services. In this situation, a cookie will store useful information that enables our Web site to remember you when you return. We can only read cookies from our website. We may display advertisements from third parties. Third party ad-serving companies control which ads are shown. These ad-serving companies may use cookies to collect non-personally identifiable information from you. Advertisers use this information to target the ads and measure their impact. We do not have access to the contents of these cookies.

NON PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may have a presence on various social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and LinkedIn. We receive anonymous and aggregated demographic and use data related to our presence on those platforms. We use tracking software to analyse traffic on this website or any supported devices, including tablets and other mobile devices. We do this to understand our members' and visitors' needs and to continually improve our community. This web tracking software collects anonymous, aggregate statistics. Examples include internet protocol addresses, the date and time when you use our services, the type of computer browser, and the operating system that you used. We may aggregate and make anonymous your personal information, in part, so that we better understand how our Services are working in the aggregate. We may use and disclose this aggregated and anonymous data without restriction.

SOCIAL MEDIA

We may run polls in our Facebook group and may sell the results to advertisers (let’s be honest, they can just look at the results publicly in the group anyway!). We do not ever disclose any other information than the aggregate poll results (i.e. no individual names etc).

ONE FINAL POINT

We don’t work for free, and neither should you!

We sell ads in the Facebook group that can and will benefit many of the group members. We will always disclose when content online is sponsored or paid. If in doubt, just assume everything is an ad ;)

Remember, there is no fee to be part of Men’s Finance Advice and no one is making you stay in the Facebook group.

Thank you, Men’s Finance Advice.
