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
Incorporated ("MARI Network"), which includes 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 updates
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.
