MarketZAR Privacy Policy
MarketZAR shares your concern about the protection of your personal information
online. This is our policy regarding the privacy of information we collect on
our web site. We will comply with applicable state laws that may restrict the
types of information we may disclose about you or require us to provide you
with additional notices.
Information Gathered and Tracked
MarketZAR gathers two types of data about users: personal information, which
individual entrants provide when registering for a trading contest; and
tracking information about visitors to the MarketZAR web site.
Personal Information
MarketZAR collects personal information about site members and contest
registrants. We will always provide a secure area of the MarketZAR site for you
to enter your information. You also have the option of speaking with a Customer
Service representative to give personal information.
When registering for a contest, you will be required to provide your Name,
Address, Phone, and e-mail data, and will have to provide a unique Username and
Password. You also will be required to provide credit card information or other
information related to payment to enter trading contests.
Tracking Information
Tracking data consists of both individual and aggregated tracking information
and is automatically gathered using "cookies." A cookie is a small data file
containing information, such as a user's login name, that is written to the
user's hard drive by a web server and used to track the pages visited.
MarketZAR uses this information to access a member's account information and to
track the readership of different subscription products. You can control your
browser's settings regarding cookies by selecting "Internet Options" or
"Preferences" in the menu bar of your browser. This will allow you to prevent
your browser from accepting new cookies, have your browser notify you when you
receive a new cookie, or disable cookies altogether. Cookies allow you to
easily navigate our web sites without having to constantly log in using your
User Name and password, however, so we recommend that you leave them turned on.
Use of the Information
MarketZAR uses personal information obtained from its users as stated in this
Privacy Policy, and to enhance users' experiences on the MarketZAR web site.
MarketZAR does not sell or disclose personal information about you described
above to with other people or nonaffiliated companies, except to provide you
with products or services, when we have your permission, or under the following
circumstances:
· We provide the information on a confidential basis to nonaffiliated companies
we engage as contractors or agents to perform services for us, such as
maintaining software or sending direct mail. Information will be shared with
such contractors only to the extent necessary for them to perform services on
our behalf.
· In response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, from law enforcement
agencies or state and federal regulators;
· If we sell or otherwise transfer substantially all of our assets related to
any web site that we own or operate and any product or service that we offer.
In that event, we will require such third party to honor our current Privacy
Policy, until the third party provides you with notice of changes to our
Privacy Policy and permits you to exercise any rights you may have under
applicable law to limit disclosures of information about you.
Tracking by our Advertisers
MarketZAR may allow advertisers to place advertisements on the MarketZAR web
site. By interacting with or clicking on an ad you consent to the possibility
that you meet the targeting criteria used by the advertiser. In addition to
cookies placed by MarketZAR, advertisers may use their own cookies or other
tracking technologies. You should consult the privacy policies of those
advertisers for additional information about how they use that data.
Disclosures for Joint Marketing and Servicing
MarketZAR may disclose the information we collect as described above to other
companies such as direct marketers to perform marketing services on our behalf,
or to firms with whom we have joint marketing agreements. We may from time to
time send you special offers and advertisements for products or services
offered by third parties.
Security
MarketZAR limits access to personal information about you to those employees
whom we determine need access to that information to provide products or
services to you. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards
that comply with federal standards to guard your personal information. However,
no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our
servers, nor can we guarantee that information that users supply will not be
intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.
