PocketQuotes.Net Privacy Statement
Welcome the the privacy policy of PocketQuotes.Net Inc. Our home page is located at
http://www.pocketquotes.net. PocketQuotes.Net has created this privacy statement in
order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses
the information gathering and dissemination practices for PocketQuotes.Net.
Cookies
There is a technology called "cookies" which can be used to provide you with
tailored information from a Web site. A cookie is an element of data that a Web
site can send to your browser, which may then store it on your system.
PocketQuotes.Net uses cookies to save your password so you don't have to re-enter it
each time you visit our site, to keep track of your access to our personalized
stock portfolio, real-time quote information, and to make sure you don't see
the same ad repeatedly. We may also use cookies to deliver content specific to
your interests. PocketQuotes.Net uses cookies to generate anonymous usage statistics,
including: number of page views, number of first-time visitors, number of
unique visitors, and number of returning visitors. This usage information is
not linked to personally identifiable information gathered elsewhere on the
site. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving
you the chance to decide whether to accept it.
Confidentiality and Security
PocketQuotes.Net has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and
alteration of the information under our control. We limit access to personal
information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into
contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in
order to do their jobs. In certain areas PocketQuotes.Net uses industry-standard SSL
encryption to protect data transmissions.
Information Collection
When you sign up for our any of our subscription services, you will be asked to
select a username and password, and to provide us with your full name, address,
phone number and e-mail address. We use your username and password to verify
your identity, which is required to provide you access to your market data and
personal account information. We also ask for your credit card number to
process your initial and all subsequent payments. If we have trouble processing
an order, the information collected is used to contact you.
IP Addresses
When your web browser or email application requests a web page or email from
another computer on the Internet, it automatically gives that computer the
address where it should send the information. This is called your computer's
"IP address". When a PocketQuotes.Net web page is requested and viewed, that request
is logged on our servers with information including the IP address of the
computer that requested the page. IP addresses may be used to diagnose service
or technology problems reported by our users or engineers that are associated
with the IP addresses controlled by a specific web company or ISP. To prevent
abuse, your IP address is also stored in our user registration databases when
you register with PocketQuotes.Net.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that PocketQuotes.Net is
not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements
of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web
site.
Use of your Personal Information
PocketQuotes.Net does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with
other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide products or services
you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the following
circumstances: We may supply this registration data to various stock exchanges,
such as NASDAQ, AMEX, and the New York Stock Exchange, as required by the rules
of the exchanges and/or applicable law. NASDAQ, AMEX, and the New York Stock
Exchange cannot market to you based on this agreement. We respond to subpoenas,
court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or
defend against legal claims. We believe it is necessary to share information in
order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities,
suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety
of any person, violations of PocketQuotes.Net's terms of use, or as otherwise
required by law. Web Beacons Web pages may contain electronic images (called a
"single-pixel GIF" or a "web beacon") that allow a web site to count users who
have visited that page or to access certain cookies. PocketQuotes.Net may include web
beacons in HTML-formatted email messages in order to determine which email
messages were opened and to note whether a message was acted upon. Web Site
Usage Data PocketQuotes.Net keeps track of usage data, such as the source address
that a page request is coming from, your IP address or domain name, the date
and time of the page request, the referring Web site (if any), the type and
version of browser you are using, and other parameters in the URL. We use this
data in the aggregate to better understand Web site usage, including what areas
of our Web site users prefer. This information is stored in log files and is
used for aggregated and statistical reporting. This log information is not
linked to personally identifiable information gathered elsewhere on the site.
IP addresses may be used to diagnose service or technology problems reported by
our users or engineers that are associated with the IP addresses controlled by
a specific web company or ISP. To prevent abuse, your IP address is also stored
in our user registration databases when you register with PocketQuotes.Net.
Notification of Changes
PocketQuotes.Net will occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will
also revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of the privacy statement. If we
make any material changes in our privacy practices, we will post a prominent
notice on our web site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we
post the notice, we also email users, notifying them of the changes in our
privacy practices.
