Privacy Policy
October 6, 2008
At TradeGreeks LLC, we respect the privacy of our members and those who visit our Website. The following Privacy Policy provides details about how your personal information is collected and used.
Information Collection and Use
TradeGreeks LLC is the sole owner of information collected on this Website. We will not share, sell, or trade this information to third parties in ways different from what is disclosed in this Privacy Policy. The contact information that you provide is used to send information about our company and its products and services to members and visitors as requested or as necessary (for example, regarding changes to terms and agreements, polices, etc.). Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings at any time (see the Opt-out section below).
Sharing and Usage
We will not share, sell, or trade the personal information of our members (both current and former) to third parties for their own promotional use. Occasionally, we enter into contracts with third parties so that they can assist us in servicing you (for example, providing customer service). These contracts prohibit them from using any of your personal information for their own purposes, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information we provide to them. Also, we may disclose or report personal information in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under the law. For example, we may be required to disclose personal information to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities in compliance with a legal process, such as a court order, subpoena, search warrant, or law enforcement request.
From time to time, it is necessary to supply the information we receive to third-party sources. For example, to verify a member’s identity, we may use personal identification to request a screening report from an outside firm so that we may access additional data on the individual. Before using personal information for this purpose, the third party must agree that it will not share or sell the information we provide to other third parties.
At certain times, you may be asked to participate in surveys, which are generally aimed at obtaining general information, such as your investment experience or your reactions to possible new features. Information obtained in these surveys is NOT connected with individual subscribers or used internally to help better market our services.
We also share limited demographic and non-personally identifiable information with third-parties to assist us with business and marketing analysis. Again, these third parties must agree to keep the information confidential. Additionally, we occasionally send our members offers that require them to share their contact information with outside firms. We may also purchase or receive lists of non-members, but we do not redistribute such lists.
Security
TradeGreeks.com uses a number of methods to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via our Website, your information is encrypted. We invest in security technology and aim to ensure that our processes meet or exceed industry standards. Your information is transmitted on the secured portion of our Website. We use firewalls and Secure Socket Layering (SSL) technology, among other methods, to prevent unauthorized access to your account information.
Moreover, when you provide your user name and password to access member-only areas, that information is encrypted during transmission. You should never share your password with others. Remember to change your password regularly. You can safely change your password online at any time by answering certain questions about you or by requesting a temporary password and then changing your password upon login.
We also take steps to protect your information offline. Only employees and third-party service providers who need the information to perform their responsibilities are granted access to your information. These service providers are contractually obligated to keep information confidential. Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.

Links
We may provide links to third-party websites, such as those of our business partners and online advertisers. While on these sites, TradeGreeks.com, or its partners, may collect information about you. Because TradeGreeks LLC does not control the information policies or practices of these third parties, you should review their privacy policies to learn more about how they collect and use personally identifiable information.
Opt-out
TradeGreeks LLC provides members the opportunity to opt-out of marketing messages or to change preferences via a link in the footer of most e-mail messages or via the Website. These options are made available when you sign up for our services. Alternatively, you may e-mail us at support@tradegreeks.com. In order to conduct business with you and comply with U.S. regulatory guidelines, it is crucial that we maintain the ability to provide you with legal notices and service-related information. Maintaining an e-mail address is mandatory for using the Service, even if you choose to no longer receive “Offers and Announcements” or other educational or marketing information from us.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post these changes on the TradeGreeks.com Website, This will assure that our members are always aware of the specific information we collect, how we use it, and under which circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
Business Transitions
In the event that TradeGreeks LLC goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or the sale of a portion of its assets, members’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. Members will be notified prior to a change of ownership or control over their personal information. If, as a result of the business transition, members’ personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, they will be given a choice not to have their information used in this different manner as described in the Notification of Changes section, above.
