OVERVIEW
Privacy is of great concern to most users of the Internet, and is a critical part of an enjoyable and
satisfactory user experience. We at Stock-News are acutely aware of and sensitive to the privacy
concerns of our subscribers and other visitors to our Website. Whether you are a customer of our
various products and services or a visitor to our site, we assure you that we do not collect
personal information from you unless you provide it to us. You should be assured that we do not
provide or sell personal information about our customers or site visitors to vendors that are not
involved or affiliated with Stock-News’s products or services.
This Privacy Statement applies to the Stock-News Website. Many of our subsidiaries maintain their own
privacy policies that may be viewed on their Websites. Stock-News has a “network” of
Affiliates that offer our services. We strive to provide our visitors and subscribers with the
highest level of privacy possible, and therefore require that our Affiliates offer no less
protection than that offered in this Privacy Statement. In addition, each of our Affiliates must
meet the data protection requirements of their relevant national laws. Please note that our Website
contains links to other Websites. Stock-News is not responsible for the privacy practices, privacy
statements, or content regarding these other Websites.

phone number you received the text message from. By entering phone number you agree to full terms of
disclaimer.
Under no circumstances do we collect any personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political
opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, health, or sex life.
STATISTICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR VISIT
When you visit our Website, our computers may automatically collect statistics about your visit. This
information does not identify you personally, but rather identifies information about a visit to our
Website. We may monitor statistics such as how many people visit our Website, the user’s IP
address, which pages people visit, from which domains our visitors come and which browsers people
use. We use these statistics about your visit for aggregation purposes only. These statistics are
used to help us improve the performance of our Website.
USE OF COOKIES
We only use “cookies” as described in this Section. A “cookie” is a piece of
information that our Web site sends to your browser, which then stores this information on your
system. If a cookie is used, our Website will be able to “remember” information about
you and your preferences either until you exit your current browser window (if the cookie is
temporary) or until you disable or delete the cookie. Many users prefer to use cookies in order to
help them navigate a Web site as seamlessly as possible. You should be aware that cookies contain no
more information than you volunteer, and they are not able to “invade” your hard drive
and return to the sender personal or other information from your computer.
Our uses of “cookies” are limited to the following specific situation. That situation is
with respect to temporary cookies. There are two instances in which we use temporary cookies. First,
if you are accessing our services through one of our online applications our Web server may
automatically send your browser a temporary cookie, which is used to help your browser navigate our
Website. The only information contained in these temporary cookies is a direction value that lets
our software determine which page to show when you hit the back button in your browser. This bit of
information is erased when you close your current browser window. If you come to our Website from
one of our business partners, our Web server may also send your browser a temporary cookie that
reflects an “origination code” for that business partner. We use this information for
statistical and marketing purposes.
BULLETIN BOARDS, CHAT ROOMS AND FORUMS
If you use a forum, bulletin board, chat room or other chat tool on this Website, you should be aware
that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by
other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. Stock-News is not
responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these forums. You
are also responsible for using these forums in a manner consistent with the Rules of Engagement or
other terms and conditions set forth on the relevant forum site.
HOW WE USE AND WITH WHOM WE SHARE THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE GATHER
We assure you that the personal information we gather from you is used by us only as explained below.
SENDING YOU RESPONSES AND UPDATES
We generally respond to any e-mail questions, requests for product or service information, and other
inquiries that we receive. We may also retain this correspondence to improve our products, services,
and Website, and for other disclosed purposes. Frequently we retain contact information so that we
can send individuals updates or other important information about our services and products.
Occasionally these updates or other important information may be sent out by third parties on our
behalf. Please be assured that any third party who contacts you in this capacity has executed a
confidentiality agreement with us that contains a provision ensuring the privacy and security of any
transferred information and limits the third party’s use of the shared information to sending
updates or providing services on our behalf. Our subsidiary companies may also send you information
about their services and products. In situations where you have supplied your information in
connection with a question or request for information about a product or service offered by a Stock-News business partner, we may also send the information you have supplied to the Stock-News business
partners that offer such products or services. Please be assured that these Stock-News business
partners have agreed to ensure the privacy and security of any transferred information and may only
use the shared information to send you information about products or services about which you asked
or registered for.
FACILITATING THE SUPPORT, RENEWAL, AND PURCHASE OF OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
We may use the information you submit to contact you to discuss the support, renewal, and purchase of
our products and services. We may provide our subsidiary companies with your information so that
they may send you information about their services and products. We may also provide the information
you have submitted to us to a Stock-News subsidiary, business partner, or independent reseller
(either within or outside the United States) so that the subsidiary, business partner, or
independent reseller can contact you and facilitate the support, renewal, and purchase of Stock-News products and services. You may receive a communication directly from one of our subsidiaries,
business partners, or independent resellers. Please be assured that any subsidiary, business
partner, or independent reseller who contacts you for one of these purposes has agreed to use the
information we supply only in accordance with a confidentiality agreement. To find out the names and
locations of the subsidiaries, business partners, and/or independent resellers to whom we have

DISCLOSURE BY LAW AND PROTECTION OF Stock-News AND OTHERS

international government or law enforcement authorities, we will do so (for example, we may disclose
the identity of purchasers of certain software products to the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau
of Export Administration, as required under the terms of our export licenses). We will also disclose
information to third parties as necessary in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
In addition, Stock-News may share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action
regarding illegal activities or suspected fraud, or enforce or apply Stock-News’s agreements.
BUSINESS TRANSITIONS
Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, Stock-News decides to
sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses or business units in some countries. Such a
transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers,
or the receipt of it from sellers. It is Stock-Newss’s practice to seek appropriate protection
for information in these types of transactions.
SURVEYS
From time-to-time we may request information from customers via surveys. Participation in these
surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this

resellers, you should opt-out with that entity directly.

may apply. You can unsubscribe from the SMS service (text messaging) anytime by replying STOP to the
phone number you received the text message from. By entering phone number you agree to full terms of
disclaimer.
OUR SECURITY PROCEDURES
We consider the protection of all personal information we receive from our Website visitors and
subscribers as critical to our corporate mission. Please be assured that we have security measures
in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of any personal information we receive
from you. As with any transmission over the Internet, however, there is always some element of risk
involved in sending personal information. In order to try to minimize this risk, we encrypt all
information that you submit in ordering one of our products or services using the Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) protocol.
HOW YOU CAN UPDATE OR CORRECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
If you would like to update or correct any personal information in our records you may email us
at hostmaster@stocks-news.com.
