Realinvestors® Privacy Policy.

The following Privacy Policy governs the online information collection
practices of RealInvestors.com (“we” or
“us”). Specifically, it outlines the types of
information that we gather about you while you are using the
RealInvestors.com website (the “Site”), and the
ways in which we use and don’t use this information. This
Privacy Policy, does not apply to any information you may provide to us
or that we may collect offline and/or through other means (for example,
at a live event, via telephone, or through the mail.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting and using the
Site, you agree that your use of our Site, and any dispute over
privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy. Because the Web is an
evolving medium, we may need to change our Privacy Policy at some point
in the future, in which case we’ll post the changes to this
Privacy Policy on this website and update the Effective Date of the
policy to reflect the date of the changes. By continuing to use the
Site after we post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as
modified.
What Information is Collected About Visitors?
The information that we collect about you while you are using the Site
falls into two general categories:
1. Information You Provide to Us.
We may collect and store information, personal or otherwise, that you
voluntarily supply either while on the Site or in responding via email
in connection with a feature provided on the Site. Some examples of
this type of information include demographic information that you
electronically submit when you sign up for access to certain features
on the Site, information (such as your name or email address) that you
electronically submit when you register for surveys or competitions on
the Site, information that you post on message boards on the Site, and
information contained in search requests or questions that you submit
to the Site. If you decline to supply or provide us with certain
information while using the Site, you may not be able to use or
participate in some or all of the features offered through the Site.
2. Information that is Automatically Collected. (do we use cookies?)
We also collect and store information that is generated automatically
as you navigate through the Site. For example, to enhance your
experience on the Site, we use a standard feature found in browser
software called a “cookie.” Cookies are small files
that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping
purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help
us track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to
re-enter your preferences on certain areas of the Site where you have
entered preference information before. Another example of information
that we automatically collect as you navigate the Site is information
about your computer’s connection to the Internet. This
information allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of
our web pages to you and to measure traffic on the Site.
How is this Information Used?
We use the information we collect from you while you are using the Site
in a variety of ways, including using the information to customize
features and that appear on the Site.
We do not sell, trade or otherwise share your information with third
parties.
Please also keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your
personal information available for viewing by third parties online
– for example on message boards, through email or web logs,
or in chat areas – that information can be seen, collected
and used by others besides us. We cannot be responsible for any
unauthorized third party use of such information.
The Site includes links to other websites and provides access to
products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies
we do not control. When you access another website or purchase third
party products or services through the Site, use of any information you
provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site
you are visiting or the provider of such products or services.
