Your privacy is important. This statement describes how information from you, the user/customer, collected in conjunction with products and services provided to you, including publications, live events, websites and online activities, is used by Advisor Media LLC, its predessors, assigns or successors ("Advisor Media"), and other parties involved in making, selling or fulfilling the products and services provided to you. This statement may be updated from time to time; visit http://privacy.advisormedia.com for the current information.
CUSTOMER INFORMATION
You might voluntarily submit information to Advisor Media so you can subscribe to Advisor print or email publications, get access to web sites, buy products or services, register for live conferences or seminars, or for any other purchase, request or participation. Such information is stored in Advisor Media customer records.
EMAIL FOR ADVISOR
To be a supported customer, you must provide at least one functioning email address to Advisor Media so you can be contacted about the product or service you purchased. Your email address is used by Advisor Media to give you customer service, to provide requested information such as enewsletters, to update you on requested or relevant information, to notify you of expiring subscriptions, to announce new products and services, and similar. If you do not provide at least one valid email address, you might be ineligible for certain online access, products or services. If Advisor Media cannot readily contact you by email, it may discontinue your service; see http://Legal.AdvisorMedia.com for details. At any time you may request a change of your contact information and/or the type of email or other information you receive.
EMAIL FOR THIRD-PARTIES
Unless you grant permission, Advisor Media does not give your email address to anyone who is not involved in providing products and services to you. Even if you have asked to receive special offers and information from qualified companies, they do not get your email address; the email is sent by Advisor Media or external secure email services. The only exception is if you explicitly "opt-in" to have your email address shared with a qualified third-party for direct receipt of special offers. If you believe you are receiving inappropriate email from Advisor Media, it is probably criminals who are "spoofing" and/or "phishing", meaning they are pretending to be someone else. See http://FAQ.Advisor.com for more information.
IDENTIFICATION
On a website presented by Advisor Media, you can visit anonymously; you don't need to sign-in or provide any information about yourself. To access some website areas, such as to access subscriber-only content, you must verify that you are an authorized customer by signing-in, which identifies you for that visit. For some products and services you must provide identifying information to Advisor Media, such as to get subscriber access, to get online membership, to receive enewsletters, to register for an event, to purchase a subscription, to receive shipment of a product, to purchase by credit card, and for various other purposes.
COOKIES
Web browsers and websites generally interact via cookies to provide an organized and/or personalized user experience, to allow online transactions, and to provide smooth movement through a website's pages and features. Your browser must accept cookies for some Advisor Media website activities, such as to sign-in as a member, to read subscriber-only content, and to make online purchases. Advisor Media's cookies are customized for its online services, and are not identified to any third-parties.
ADVERTISING
Advisor Media websites use third-party advertising companies to serve some ads. Some of these companies may use information about your visits to Advisor Media websites and other websites to provide advertisements about goods and services that are likely to be of interest to you. The information used by these companies does not include your name, address, email address, or telephone number. For more information about this practice and your options for controlling information used by advertising companies, go to http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
LOGGING
Information related to certain online activities is automatically logged by servers, including user IP addresses, URLs, website pages visited, cookies, and other data. Advisor Media aggregates and tabulates this information to analyze how website features and content are used. Some of this aggregated, tabulated, non-personal information might be provided to advertisers. Some website advertising may come from third-party servers that log aggregate ad displays and clicks; any such information is not combined with the information logged by Advisor Media. However, if website, email or other online access is in violation of Terms of Use or otherwise causing problems for Advisor Media and/or other customers, server log data may be shared with involved parties in pursuit of a remedy.
CHILDREN
Advisor Media does not solicit information from children under the age of 13, accept online members under 13, or normally provide products or services directed at children under 13. Because Advisor Media provides professional, business, technical and lifestyle information, determining suitability for older children is up to their parents.
INTERNATIONAL
By conducting business with Advisor Media, or using any of Advisor Media's products or services, you agree to the transfer of your information to Advisor Media in the United States and/or other countries or locations where privacy protection may be different from your country or location.
LINKS
When Advisor Media provides links to other websites, products or services, it is for the convenience of users. Advisor Media is not responsible for the privacy policies, content or business practices of any other websites or businesses. You are solely responsible for determining the suitability and value of any business, product or service.
