How We Collect & Use Information
We may collect personally identifiable information (“PII”) such as your name, your contact information, and your billing information (such as credit card account data). We collect PII when you provide it to us through any paid subscription, for example when you interact with our website, or sign up for our mailing list. We may combine the PII we collect with additional information from other third-party sources.
We use the PII that we collect to deliver paid subscription content (such as processing paid subscriptions, or engaging in email correspondence), to analyze and improve this website, and to conduct marketing. If you register for email or if you provide your email address to us, we will add you to a mailing list and send you investing-related content and opinions.

We share email activity data with our marketing email provider to help them better target emails to our clients. While our marketing email provider has access to email address, email activity and bulk/non-specific activity data, no email addresses or specific email actions are ever shared with other third parties.
Should a client wish to opt out of this sharing, that client simply needs to opt out of marketing email from us. Geographic Location. Our App uses the GPS feature of your mobile device to determine the location of the device. We and our third-party vendors or partners may collect and use this geographic location data for purposes such as the functioning of the App, to make our advertising more relevant, and to improve this website.
We do not store geographic location data in combination with PII. If you do not want us to collect and use your device’s geographic location, you can control this function in your application settings by disabling location services for your device, or by uninstalling the App, but these choices will affect your ability to use the App.
