Privacy Policy

Our Commitment To Privacy
 
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy is posted here so that you may better understand what information we collect on the ShockTrader™ website, and how it is used. Since we want you to be able to easily find and understand our Privacy Policy, we have made every effort to make it available on every web page on the ShockTrader™ web site.


Collected Information

On some web pages you may be asked to provide personal information. Here are the types of information requested:

Name
Address
Phone Number
Email address
Credit/Debit Card Information


In some instances we may ask you to submit information about other people.  For example, in order for you to recommend the ShockTrader™ web site to a friend, you will need to submit the recipient's email address.

How We Use Information

The information you provide about yourself when placing an order or requesting our newsletter is used only to complete that transaction. We never share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.

Return email addresses are used only to answer the email we receive and to communicate with you about our services. Such addresses are never used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.

You can register with the ShockTrader™ website if you would like to receive the ShockTrader™ newsletter as well as updates on our new products and services.

We use anonymous and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser how many people have visited a certain area on our website, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.

Finally, we never use or share your personal information in any way unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to unsubscribe or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.


WEB SITE DATA COLLECTION

ShockTrader™ offers access to certain services, some that are free and others at a fee, which may require registration.  We will use your registration contact information, which will be subject to our Privacy Policy, to send notices and announcements of ShockTrader™ products and services by e-mail and/or postal mail.  We also may share that information with organizations (“our clients”) who may provide you promotional material that is related to the topic of the service for which you registered, unless you have chosen not to receive it. TO NOT RECEIVE ANY SUCH COMMUNICATIONS, MEMBERS SHOULD REQUEST THAT THEIR REGISTRATION BE CANCELLED. You can unsubscribe from our newsletters by following the instructions at the bottom of every email.

We maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy that means that we do not intend to sell, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a third-party, without your consent. Advertisers never see your email address, and all communication goes through our servers to maintain your privacy. Through our web site you may also subscribe to promotional announcements from our client organizations. Our site provides users the opportunity to choose or opt-out of receiving announcements or other communications from our client organizations at the point where we request information about the visitor. 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 their target audience. (This is known as cost-per-lead advertising (CPL) or co-registration.) With third-party offers, user data about our web site visitors who accept the offers is collected by our webservers and sent to the advertiser who then fulfills the offer. After data is sent to a third party offer advertiser we have no way to control how it is used because it has left our system, and 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.
