Technical Information Collected
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers known as the "Internet Protocol" IP address.  Like most web servers, when a visitor requests a page from any web site within the Chart Advisor Network our servers automatically recognize and log that visitor's domain name, IP address, access times, referring web sites, platform, and browser type.  This information reveals nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site.  We use these logs to provide statistics about our web site usage in aggregate, to assist us in the maintenance, design, and operation of our web site, and to investigate misuse of the Chart Advisor Network, its users, or to cooperate with law enforcement.  We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific individuals.  Our web servers do not automatically record e-mail addresses of the visitors.

Information on Cookies
When using our sites, Chart Advisor or its advertisers may send a "cookie" to your computer.  A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive.  A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other web sites. Cookies do not damage your system.  We use cookies to identify which areas of Chart Advisor?s Network of web sites you have visited, personalized or customized, so the next time you visit those pages may be readily accessible.  Our advertisers may also use cookies to ascertain how many times you've seen an advertisement.  We and our advertisers may use this information to better personalize the content and promotions that you see on our web site.  You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your browser.  You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent.  If you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our site and other web sites will not work as intended.

Registration Data for Chart Advisor Services
Chart Advisor 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 Chart Advisor 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, rent, 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.

Subscription Data for Third-Party Offers
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.

Single-pixel Images
Chart Advisor and its advertisers may use single-pixel gif images, sometimes referred to as web bugs or web beacons, to count web page accesses and gather some general statistical information. Chart Advisor does not gather personal information through the use of these images.  Our advertisers may use single-pixel gifs that can track personal information from cookies that may have been previously placed on a user's computer by an advertiser.
