BULLMARKETWORLD.COM PRIVACY POLICY
Last revised: August, 2004
Your privacy is very important to us.
We want to make your experience with BullMarketWorld.com as enjoyable
and rewarding as possible, and we want you to use BullMarketWorld.com's
vast array of information, tools, and resources with complete
confidence.
We have created this Privacy
Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and security.
This Privacy Policy describes how BullMarketWorld.com collects information
from all end users of BullMarketWorld.com's services (the "Services")
-- those who access some of our Services but do not have accounts
("Visitors"), as well as those who pay a monthly service
fee to subscribe to the Services ("Members"). It describes
what we do with the information we collect, and the choices Visitors
and Members have concerning the collection and use of such information.
BullMarketWorld.com
requests that
you read this Privacy Policy carefully.
Personal Information BullMarketWorld.com
Collects and How It Is Used
Introduction
BullMarketWorld.com
collects information
in different ways from Visitors and Members who access the various
parts of our Services. We use this information primarily to provide
a customized experience as you use our Services, and generally
do not share this information with third parties. However, we
may disclose personal information collected if we have received
your permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such
as when we believe that law requires such disclosure or other
special cases described below.
Registration
Members are asked to provide
certain personal information when they sign up for our Services
including name, address, telephone number and billing information
(such as a credit card number). The personal information collected
from Members during the registration process is used to manage
each Member's account (such as for billing purposes). This information
is not shared with third parties, unless specifically stated otherwise
or in special circumstances.
However, in instances where BullMarketWorld.com
and a partner jointly promote the Services, BullMarketWorld.com may
provide the partner certain personal information, such as the
name, address, and username of persons who subscribed to the Services
as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing
us and the partner to assess the results of the promotion. In
this instance, the partner may not use personal information for
any other purpose.
BullMarketWorld.com
may also generate
non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal information
Members provide during registration (such as the total number,
but not the names, of Members). As explained in more detail below,
we may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to
sell advertisements that appear on the Services.
Your Credit Card Information is Secure
You have the option to submit
your credit card information through one of our secure servers.
Currently, all new subscriptions and renewal orders are placed
through an encrypted, secured order server using Secure Socket
Layers (SSL) technology. If you to prefer to place your order
by telephone, you can call us during normal business hours at
970.544.1707 with your credit card and billing information.
BullMarketWorld.com Partners and Sponsors
Some BullMarketWorld.com products
and services are offered to Visitors and Members in conjunction
with a non-affiliated partner. To provide Visitors and Members
some of these products and services, the partner may need to collect
and maintain personal information. In these instances, you will
be notified before any such data is collected or transferred and
may decide not to use that particular service or feature. BullMarketWorld.com
may need to share non-identifying and aggregate information (except
as described above), but not personal information, with such partners
in order to administer the co-branded products or services offered.
Online Advertisements
BullMarketWorld.com
displays our online
advertisements. We share aggregated and non-identifying information
about our Visitors and Members collected through the registration
process as well as through online surveys and promotions with
these advertisers. Additionally, in some instances, we use this
aggregated and non-identifying information to deliver tailored
advertisements. For instance, an advertiser might tell us the
audience they want to reach (for example, males between 25 and
55 years of age) and provide us with an advertisement tailored
to that audience. Based upon the aggregated and non-identifying
information we have collected, we may then display the advertisement
to the intended audience. However, BullMarketWorld.com does not share
personal information about its Visitors or Members with these
advertisers.
Responses to Email Inquiries
When Visitors or Members send
email inquiries to BullMarketWorld.com, we use the return email address
to answer the email inquiry we receive. BullMarketWorld.com does not
use the return email address for any other purpose and does not
share the return email address with any third party.
BullMarketWorld.com
Email Referral Service
If you use our Referral Service
to email one of our articles and/or information to a friend or
colleague, you will need to provide us with that individual's
email address. We will automatically send this person an email,
attaching the recommended article, as well as invite them to visit
and register at our website. We will not use these email addresses
for any other purpose, nor will we ever make them available to
any third party.
Email Marketing From Third Party
Sponsors
In addition, from time to time,
BullMarketWorld.com sends, on behalf of third parties, promotions via
mail to some or all of its subscribers. However, in no event does
BullMarketWorld.com sell or otherwise transfer to third parties the
email addresses of its subscribers. BullMarketWorld.com strictly maintains
the confidentiality of its subscribers' email addresses. In addition,
users are always given the opportunity of opting-out of these
promotions.
Voluntary Customer Surveys
We may periodically conduct both
business and individual customer surveys. We encourage our customers
to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important
information that helps us to improve the types of services we
offer and how we provide them to you. Your personal information
and responses will remain strictly confidential, even if a third
party conducts the survey. Participation in our customer surveys
is voluntary.
We take the information we receive
from individuals responding to our Customer Surveys and combine
(or aggregate) it with the responses from other BullMarketWorld.com
customers to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions
(such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment,
industry sector, or other demographic information). We then use
the aggregated information to improve the quality of our services
to you, and to develop new services and products. This aggregated;
non-personally-identifying information may be shared with third
parties.
Special Cases
It is BullMarketWorld.com's policy
not to use or share personal information about Visitors or Members
in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing
you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated
uses. However, BullMarketWorld.com may disclose personal information
about Visitors or Members, or information regarding your use of
the Services or Web sites accessible through our Services, for
any reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable
to do so, including: to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications
Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for
such information; to disclose information that is necessary to
identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may
be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or other user policies;
to operate the Services properly; or to protect BullMarketWorld.com
and our Members.
