How We
Protect Your Information
We recognizes the
importance of protecting your privacy and our policy is
designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use
and safeguard the personal information you provide to us and
to assist you in making informed decisions when using our
site. This policy will be continuously assessed against new
technologies, business practices and our customers'
needs.
What
Information Do We Collect?
When you make any
purchases from this web site, you may provide us with two
types of information: personal information you knowingly
choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis
and Web site use information collected on an aggregate basis
as you and others browse our Web site.
Confidentiality
When you enter
your name, e-mail or any contact information on any of the
pages on our website, your information is stored internally
in a private database that no-one outside of the staff of
this website have access to.
Your information
is NEVER sold, rented or handed over to any third-party, and
is only ever used by us to send you relevant information
that you requested by e-mail.
Email
Information
If you choose to
correspond with us through email, we may retain the content
of your email messages together with your email address and
our responses. We provide the same protections for these
electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance
of information received by mail and telephone.
We HATE spam, and
never, ever give your e-mail address out to anyone... that
means, you will never receive e-mail from any other company
or individual as a result of leaving your details with
us.
We guarantee that
any message received from us by e-mail will be relevant to
the pursuit of better investing performance.
And, if you ever
want to remove yourself from our list, you can do so easily
and permanently with a single click which is contained in
the footer of every outgoing e-mail message sent by
us.
Web Site
Use Information
Similar to other
commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard
technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What
Are Cookies?") and web server log files to collect
information about how our Web site is used. Information
gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the
date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our
Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just
after our Web site.
How Do We
Use the Information That You Provide to
Us?
Broadly speaking,
we use personal information for purposes of administering
our business activities, providing the products and services
you requested, to process your payment, to monitor the use
of the service, our marketing and promotional efforts and
improve our content and service offerings, and customize our
site's content, layout, services and for other lawful
purposes. These uses improve our site and better tailor it
to meet your needs.
Furthermore, such
information may be shared with others on an aggregate basis.
Personally identifiable information or business information
will not be shared with parties except as required by
law.
Occasionally, we
may also use the information we collect to notify you about
important changes to our Website, new services, and special
offers we think you will find valuable. You may notify us at
any time if you do not wish to receive these offers by
emailing us at the link provided on the
newsletter.
What Are
Cookies?
A cookie is a
very small text document, which often includes an anonymous
unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's
computer asks your computer for permission to store this
file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated
for cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie to your
browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to
protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site
to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the
cookies sent to you by other sites. Browsers are usually set
to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to
receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your
browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your
browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of
our site will not function as effectively when viewed by the
users. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your
hard drive or pass on computer viruses.
How Do We
Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you visit and
browse our Web site, the site uses cookies to differentiate
you from other users. In some cases, we also use cookies to
prevent you from having to log in more than is necessary for
security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log
files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people
visiting our Web site and which parts of the site are most
popular. This helps us gather feedback to constantly improve
our Web site and better serve our clients. Cookies do not
allow us to gather any personal information about you and we
do not intentionally store any personal information that
your browser provided to us in your cookies.
IP
Addresses
IP addresses are
used by your computer every time you are connected to the
Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by
computers on the network to identify your computer. IP
addresses are automatically collected by our web server as
part of demographic and profile data known as “traffic data”
so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent
to you.
Sharing
and Selling Information
We do not share,
sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely
identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal
details) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to
process transactions or provide services that you have
requested.
How Can
You Access and Correct Your Information?
You may request
access to all your personally identifiable information that
we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing
us at the usual address.
What
About Legally Compelled Disclosure of
Information?
We may disclose
information when legally compelled to do so, in other words,
when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or
for the protection of our legal rights. We may also disclose
account information when we have reason to believe that
disclosing this information is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action against someone who may be
violating our Terms of Service or to protect the safety of
our users and the Public.
What
About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web
Site?
We are not
responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked
to or from our Web site or the information or content
contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are
provided solely as pointers to information on topics that
may be useful to the users of our Web site.
Please remember
that when you use a link to go from our Website to another
web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your
browsing and interaction on any other web site, including
web sites, which have a link on our Website, is subject to
that Web site's own rules and policies. Please read over
those rules and policies before proceeding.
Your
Consent
By using our Web
site you consent to our collection and use of your personal
information as described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve
the right to amend this privacy policy at any time with or
without notice.
Our
Commitment To Data Security
Please note that
your information will be stored and processed on our
computers in the United States. The laws on holding personal
data in the United States may be less stringent than the
laws of your Country of residence or citizenship. To prevent
unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the
correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate
physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard
and secure the information we collect online.
For accepting
sensitive information (like payment details), our website
automatically encrypts data sent between our server and your
computer using SSL technology.
This is the same
level of military-strength security employed by the world's
most trusted online retailers, and provides
interception-proof data transmission between us.
Any information
you provide to us by way of our online forms, is stored
securely in an internal, private database, that no-one has
access to except the staff of this website, and the machines
that form our network.
Payment
information given on this website is never stored internally
on any of our computers, and is handled securely by our
payment processor.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
This site allows
visitors to unsubscribe so that they will not receive future
messages. After unsubscribing we will discontinue sending
the particular messages as soon as technically
feasible.
Surveys
& Contests
From time-to-time
our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is
completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice
whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and
shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip
code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify
the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be
used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and
satisfaction of this site.
A Special
Note About Children
Children are not
eligible to use our services unsupervised and we ask that
children (under the age of 14) do not submit any personal
information to us. If you are a minor, you can use this
service only in conjunction with permission and guidance
from your parents or guardians.
Acquisition or Changes in
Ownership
In the event that
the web site (or a substantial portion of its assets) is
acquired, your information would be considered part of those
assets, and may be part of those assets that are
transferred.
Policy
Modifications
We may change
this Privacy Policy from time to time. If/when changes are
made to this privacy policy, we will email users who have
given us permission to do so. We will post any changes here,
so be sure to check back periodically. However, please be
assured that if the Privacy Policy changes in the future, we
will not use the personal information you have submitted to
us under this Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially
inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, without your prior
consent.
Limited
Warranties
Whilst we
endeavour to ensure that the information on this website is
correct, we do not warrant its completeness or accuracy; nor
do we commit to ensuring that the website remains available
or that the material on the website is kept
up-to-date.
To the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law we exclude all
representations, warranties and conditions relating to this
website and the use of this website (including, without
limitation, any warranties implied by law of satisfactory
quality, fitness for purpose and/or the use of reasonable
care and skill).
