FreeRealTime.com Privacy
Policy
FreeRealTime.com respects your
privacy. This statement of our Privacy Policy
explains what information we gather from you and
how we use that information. We consider the
information you have shared with us strictly
confidential and will use that information only as
specified in this Privacy Policy or to the extent
necessary to comply with applicable law.
Information We Gather and How We Use It
We
collect certain information from you in order to
provide you with the most interesting and useful
Web site possible.
We use your IP address to identify you, to
gather demographic information that helps us
understand how you and our other customers use our
Web site, and to administer our Web site. If you
purchase items through the MarketPlace, your IP
address is used to help match you with your
shopping cart.
Our registration form requires you to give us
contact information (like your name and email
address), demographic information (like your zip
code, age, occupation and income level) and
profile information (like your investment
experience). We use your contact information to
contact you about our Web site and provide you
with information and promotional material from our
partners and advertisers. We use various other
portions of your information to comply with New
York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market
regulations regarding the distribution of
real-time information, to target advertising, and
to personalize our Web site by showing you content
that we think you might be interested in and
displaying the content according to your
preferences.
We sometimes conduct or sponsor surveys and
contests on our Web site. If you elect to
participate, we may ask you for contact,
demographic and other information as part of these
offerings. We would use this information to
analyze and report on the results of surveys, to
provide you with the results of the surveys and
contests, and to send you information about our
company and promotional material from our partners
and advertisers. Participation in surveys and
contests is completely voluntary.
From time to time we may supplement information
that you provide to us with information received
from third parties.
Information We May Disclose
We share demographic, profile and other general
information about you and our other customers with
our advertisers on an aggregate basis. This means
that we tell our advertisers general information
about the characteristics of our customer base
such as how many female visitors and registered
users we have within a certain postal code, but we
do not specifically identify a particular female
visitor or provide her contact information to our
advertisers.
Our advertisers may ask us to mail or e-mail
you promotional information tailored to your
interests. We will send you this information on
behalf of our advertisers. From time
to time we may use third parties (pursuant to a
confidentiality agreement) to assist us in e-mail
broadcasts and list management. You may opt-out of
receiving these mailings as explained below under
the heading “Your Options.”
We may disclose your contact information or
other specific information about you to third
parties in conjunction with advertising, contests or new
service offerings that you elect to participate
in.
We may share your contact information with our
strategic partners and certain other companies.
These selected entities may send you
information by e-mail or regular mail, or may
contact you by telephone.
We may from time to time sell or transfer your contact and demographic information to affiliates and non-affiliates of the Company.
As we continually look for ways to improve our business, we may buy or sell a company. If we buy or sell a business, the names collected will likely be transferred as a part of the sale. Information about registrants will be used in the aggregate. However, if we buy a business, we will honor the requests that customers made of that business regarding e-mail communications. In the event that we sell a business, we will do everything in our power to ensure that the e-mail communications requests you made of us are honored.
We may release your contact and other
information to third parties when we believe that
such release is reasonably necessary to (i) comply
with law, (ii) cooperate with state and federal
regulatory agency investigations, (iii) comply
with the terms of the Subscriber Agreements with
Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange, (iv)
enforce the terms of our User Agreement or License
Agreement, or (v) protect the rights of
FreeRealTime.com or others.
