We
collect information from you during the registration process and,
occasionally, at other times. This information, which ranges from
limited personal data such as name and address to facts about your
profession and investment style, is then securely stored on separate
servers. We are strongly committed to protecting your privacy online and
will not release the information you share with us to any outside
organization. We do use third-party service providers to facilitate some
aspects of our service, and these service providers may be supplied
limited amounts of data solely for the purposes of providing our service. (You may wish to select a Login Name that is not personally
identifiable.) To help us protect your privacy, you should maintain the
secrecy of the login name and password.
We use registration information
to process, validate and verify your identity. This information also enables us
to provide you with customized services, content and features. We will
use this information to notify you of new service features and reserve the
right to contact you regarding any service-related activities such as
collecting membership fees or any problem or question with, or the
expiration of, such services.
We employ "cookie
technology" to help you move faster through our various service
offerings. (A
"cookie" is a string of information that is sent by us and stored on your hard drive or temporarily in your computer’s
memory.) When you log on to our service and take advantage of several
key features such as Convertibles, we pass several cookies to your computer. This avoids the potentially time-consuming task of checking
our registration database each time a service feature is requested.
