How We Gather Information from Users

How we collect and store information depends on the webpage you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to certain portions of our site. You may provide information when you participate in the interactive areas of our site such as posting comments or submitting questions to The Advisor’s Corner.

Like most websites, the StrategyDriven website also collects information automatically through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit.

Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our website. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means.

In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies. If you restrict this information, you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to reenter your user name and password.

The Way We Use Information

We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are not shared with outside parties. Email addresses or other personally identifiable information submitted in question emails sent to The Advisor’s Corner will not be published or otherwise disclosed to outside parties.

You can register with our website if you would like to receive access to the Registered Members only content, as well as updates on our new products and services. Information you submit on our website will not be used for this purpose unless you fill out the registration form.

We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and may choose share with advertisers in the future. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of people filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy

Protecting children’s privacy is especially important to us. For that reason, we never knowingly collect or maintain information from those we know are children under 13. If we discover we have received any information from a child under 13, we will delete that information immediately. If you believe we have any information from or about anyone under 13, please notify us at Privacy@StrategyDriven.com. No part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.

Other features available on our website may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information.

We do not control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting information, and are not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
