The Investor Education Institute publishes this Privacy Policy to affirm our commitment to maintaining the privacy of our customers in the electronic environment and inform you of our practices concerning the collection and use of information you provide us. The Investor Education Institute reserves the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy in its sole discretion, at any time and without prior notice. Continued use of any product or service following any such change constitutes your acceptance of those changes. Your use of the Investor Education Institute website constitutes your agreement to our Privacy Policy.
Personally Identifiable Information We Collect
This Privacy Policy applies to personally identifiable information collect on this Web site. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personally identifiable information” means information that identifies a particular individual, such as a name, postal address, e-mail address, and phone number. When other information, such as e-mail newsletter choices, product purchases, or consumer product preferences is directly associated with personally identifiable information, this other information also becomes personally identifiable information. If you order a product or service from us, we ask for your first and last name, address, city, state, zip code, email address, password to access our website, telephone number, and credit card number with csc number.
Other Information Collected Through Technology
In addition to information you provide to us, we also collect non-personally identifiable information through technology to make our site more interesting and useful to you. For instance, when you come to our site, we collect your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. At times, we also use IP addressed to collect information regarding the frequency with which our visitors visit various parts of our sites. We may combine this information with personally identifiable information that you have provided to us and/or with other information that is publicly available or that we receive from other reputable sources in order to make our Web site and communications more targeted to your interests.
Information Use
The Investor Education Institute may use your non-personally identifiable information to deliver the products and services that you request, to enhance your experience on our site, provide you with informational and/or promotional materials that you might find interesting, and for internal business analysis and other business purposes consistent with the Privacy Policy.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We take very seriously our responsibility to maintain your privacy with respect to your personally identifiable information and therefore we will share that information only with the following entities and only in the manner describe below.
Service Providers
We contract with other companies to provide certain services on our behalf, including credit card processing, shipping, e-mail distribution, and promotions management. We provide these companies only with the information they need to perform their services, and they are permitted to use the information only for that specific purpose as required by law, unless any additional use or sharing of the information is separately permitted under another provision of this Privacy Policy.
Company Licensees
We may share your personally identifiable information with third parties that offer products or services under or in association with our services and/or products. These third parties are called “licensees,” and some examples include but are not limited to Arlington Capital Management.
You can tell when a licensee offers one of our products or services, because our name appears on the product or on the materials describing the service, or the licensee’s name appears jointly with ours. To protect your rights, the use or your personally identifiable information by our licensees is subject to the same “op-out” rights and limitations upon those rights that apply to the use of personally identifiable information by us and that are described below in the section entitled “Your Choices”. However, if you choose to access or purchase a product or service that is offered by one of our licensees, that licensee may in some cases then collect your personally identifiable information subject to its own privacy practices. Because we do not control the privacy practices of our licensee, you should review their practices before you choose to access their products or services.
Legal Purposes; Business Transactions
The Investor Education Institute may disclose any user or customer information, including personally identifiable information, when we believe that doing so is required by law, may be necessary to protect the property, rights, or safety of ourselves, visitors to our Web site, or other personals, or will help to enforce any terms of use or other rules. It may also be necessary to disclose our customers’ personally identifiable information to third parties, such as credit card companies, to help resolve disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. We may also transfer user or customer information, including personally identifiable information, in connection with a corporate transaction such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation or asset sale.
Your Choices
We understand the importance of protecting our customers’ privacy, and we therefore provide you with the opportunity to “opt-out” of having your personally identifiable information used or disclosed for certain purposes. Receiving promotional communications from us, including our licensees, is optional. If you do not wish to receive promotional communications from us, including our licensees, please write to or call us at the address or telephone number below.
