We respect and are committed to protecting your
privacy. This privacy policy lets you know how
your personal information is processed and used.
We promise that we will take steps to use your
personal information only in ways that are
compatible with this Privacy Policy.
The following policies are in effect for the web
pages, newsletters and opt-in announcement lists
owned and operated by Managed Account Research,
Inc. ("MARI Network"), which includes
MA-Research.com and CTA-Info.com.
Technical Information Collected
Every computer connected to the Internet is
given a domain name and a set of numbers known
as the "Internet Protocol" IP address. Like most
web servers, when a visitor requests a page from
any Web Site within the MARI Network our servers
automatically recognize and log that visitor's
domain name, IP address, access times, referring
web sites, platform, and browser type. This
information reveals nothing personal about you
other than the IP address from which you have
accessed our site. We use these logs to provide
statistics about our Web site usage in
aggregate, to assist us in the maintenance,
design, and operation of our Web site, and to
investigate misuse of the MARI Network, its
users, or to cooperate with law enforcement. We
do not collect and evaluate this information for
specific individuals. Our Web servers do not
automatically record e-mail addresses of the
visitors.
Information on Cookies
When using our sites, MARI or its advertisers
may send a "cookie" to your computer. A cookie
is a small piece of data that is sent to your
browser from a web server and stored on your
computer's hard drive. A cookie can't read data
off your hard disk or read cookie files created
by other Web sites. Cookies do not damage your
system. We use cookies to identify which areas
of MARI's Network of Web Sites you have visited,
personalized or customized, so the next time you
visit those pages may be readily accessible. Our
advertisers may also use cookies to ascertain
how many times you've seen an advertisement. We
and our advertisers may use this information to
better personalize the content and promotions
that you see on our Site. You can choose whether
to accept cookies by changing the settings of
your browser. You can reset your browser to
refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to
show you when a cookie is being sent. If you
choose not to accept these cookies, your
experience at our site and other Web sites will
not work as intended.
Registration Data
MARI offers access to services that are free but
that may require registration. We will use your
registration contact information to send
notification of MARI products and services by
e-mail and/or postal mail. We also may share
that information with our affiliates and
clients. Our affiliates and clients may send you
promotional material that is related to the
topic of the service for which you registered
unless you have chosen not to receive it. MARI
reserves the right to send to our registered
members email notices and announcements that may
be of interest to MARI users. TO NOT RECEIVE ANY
COMMUNICATION FROM MARI, MEMBERS SHOULD REQUEST
THAT THEIR REGISTRATION BE CANCELLED. We respect
and will honor all requests to correct, erase,
or otherwise act in our visitor's wishes in
regards to the use of their data.
Email Announcements and Opting-out
We will most likely also request your e-mail
address and other personal information for the
purposes of providing additional services (for
example, subscriptions to email newsletters or
updates). Whenever we request the identity of a
visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose of
the inquiry before the information is requested.
You can unsubscribe from our newsletters or by
following the instructions at the bottom of
every email.
Through our Web site you may also subscribe to
promotional announcements from our partners. Our
site provides users the opportunity to choose or
opt-out of receiving communications from MARI
sites and our partners at the point where we
request information about the visitor. For
example, during our Free Report sign up for the
Free Report on Trading we will ask if it is
alright to send these promotional announcements.
If you do not wish to receive the announcements
you have the ability to opt-out.
Third-Party Offers
Some advertisers we work with are interested in
acquiring leads for their sale force by
providing offers that qualify visitors. For
example, a brokerage might provide a free book
on trading in order to reach and advertise to
that audience. (This is known as cost-per-lead
advertising (CPL) or co-registration.)
With third-party offers user data is collected
by our webservers and sent to the advertiser who
then fulfills the offer. After data is sent to
the advertiser we have no way to control how it
is used because it has left our system. We
always attempt to deal with reputable companies
who respect user privacy but we cannot
guarantee, or be liable for, any misuse of
visitor data as a result of a third-party offer
on our site. If you have experienced a problem
with one of our advertisers, please
tell us.
Single-pixel Images
MARI and its advertisers may use single-pixel
gif images, sometimes referred to as web bugs or
web beacons, to count Web page accesses and
gather some general statistical information.
MARI does not gather personal information
through the use of these images. Our advertisers
may use single-pixel gifs that can track
personal information from cookies that may have
been previously placed on a user's computer by
an advertiser.
Disclosure Where Required by Law
MARI will disclose personal information and/or
an IP address, when required by law or in the
good-faith belief that such action is necessary
to:
-
Cooperate with the investigations of
purported unlawful activities or comply with
legal process served on MARI,
-
Protect and defend the rights or property of
the MARI Network and related properties, or
visitors to the MARI Network and related
properties,
-
Identify persons who may be violating the
law, website
terms of use,
the rights of third parties, or otherwise
misusing the MARI Network or its related
properties.
Security of Data
MARI uses reasonable precautions to keep the
information disclosed to us secure. MARI
reserves the right to transfer all such
information in connection with the sale of all
or part of MARI's capital stock or assets.
Furthermore, we are not responsible for any
breach of security or for any actions of any
third parties that receive the information. We
are not responsible for such third party privacy
policies or how they treat information about
their users.
Third Party Links
The MARI Network of Web sites contains many
hyperlinks to other Web sites and from Affiliate
Web sites. The MARI Web Sites may also contain
advertisements of third parties. MARI is not
responsible for the privacy practices or the
content of such Web sites or advertisers. MARI
does not share any of the individual personal
information you provide MARI with the websites
to which MARI links, except as stated elsewhere
within this Privacy Policy, although MARI may
share aggregate data with such websites (such as
how many people use our site).
Your Consent to This Agreement
By using our Web site, you consent to the
collection and use of information by MARI as
specified above. If we decide to change our
privacy policy, we will post those changes on
this page so that you are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under
what circumstances we disclose it.
