Registration for Newsletters: The Capitalist's Edge collects personally identifiable information from you if you register online for one of our newsletters. When you register online we ask for personally identifiable information such as your name, e-mail address, personal interests and other demographic information.

The Capitalist's Edge may use your personally identifiable information to improve and customize the advertising and content you see on our Web sites or to fulfill your requests for certain products and services. Your personally identifiable information may also be aggregated and used for market research, project planning, troubleshooting problems, detecting and protecting against error, fraud or other criminal activity, to enforce The Capitalist's Edge's Terms of Use, for other internal purposes, and as otherwise described to you at the time of collection. The Capitalist's Edge will obtain your consent for any use of your personally identifiable information beyond the original uses for which you provided your consent.
You agree that The Capitalist's Edge may use personal information about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, analyze site usage, improve the web site's content and product offerings, customize content, layout and services, and as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy. You also agree that The Capitalist Edge may use your personal information to contact you and deliver information to you that may be targeted to your interests, such as banner advertisements, administrative notices, product offerings, and communications correlative, or relevant to your use of www.capitalistedge.com.

If you do not wish to receive these communications, The Capitalist's Edge encourages you to opt out of the receipt of certain communications, as set forth below.

Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information

The Capitalist's Edge does not share, loan, rent or sell your personally identifiable information. However, the following describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable information may be disclosed in the normal scope of business to provide our services:

Advertisers: The Capitalist's Edge may aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for their marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these situations, The Capitalist's Edge does not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to identify you personally. Certain information, such as your name, e-mail address, password, credit-card number and bank account number, are not disclosed to these third parties in a personally identifiable manner without your explicit consent.

External Service Providers: There are a number of separate services offered by third parties that The Capitalist's Edge refers to as external service providers that may be complementary to your use of www.capitalistedge.com (e.g., financial institutions, credit card issuers, information aggregators, etc.). If you choose to use these separate services, disclose information to the external service providers, and/or grant them permission to collect information about you, then their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy. The Capitalist's Edge does not disclose your personally identifiable information to external service providers unless you provide your explicit consent. With your consent, The Capitalist's Edge may provide some of your personal information to the external service provider offering such services, for your convenience. To prevent The Capitalist's Edge's disclosure of your personally identifiable information to an external service provider, you can decline such consent or simply not use their services. Because The Capitalist's Edge does not control the privacy practices of these third parties, you should evaluate their practices before deciding to use their services.

Internal Service Providers: The Capitalist's Edge may use third parties referred to facilitate or outsource one or more aspects of our business, product and service operations that we provides to you (e.g., technology, Forums, newsletters/alerts, analytic tools, advertising campaign management), and therefore The Capitalist's Edge may provide some of your personal information directly to these third parties. Your personal information will only be supplied if these third parties are willing to be subject to confidentiality agreements with The Capitalist's Edge and other legal restrictions that prohibit their use of the information we provide them for any other purpose except to facilitate the specific outsourced The Capitalist's Edge-related operation, unless you have explicitly agreed or given your prior permission to them for additional uses. In some instances, the third party provider may collect information directly from you. In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the third party provider, and all additional information you provide them and their additional uses will be strictly up to you. If you provide additional information to a third party provider directly, then their use of your personally identifiable information is governed by their applicable privacy policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, The Capitalist's Edge reserves the right (and you authorize The Capitalist's Edge) to share or disclose your personally identifiable information when we determines, in our sole discretion, that the disclosure of your personally identifiable information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against you if:

" you are or may be violating this Privacy Policy or Terms of Use;
" you are interfering with another's rights or property, including, without limitation, The Capitalist's Edge rights or property;
" you are violating any applicable law, rule or regulation;
" necessary or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation; and/or
" requested by authorities in the event of any act of terrorism or instance of local, regional or national emergency.

Personally identifiable information and other personal information collected from you may also be transferred to a third party as a result of a sale, acquisition, merger, reorganization, other transfer or bankruptcy (a "Transfer") involving The Capitalist's Edge and/or its affiliates. The Capitalist's Edge specifically reserves the right to transfer personally identifiable information collected from www.capitalistedge.com, and any of its databases, together with any personally identifiable information contained therein, to a third party in connection with a Transfer, and nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to interfere with the ability of The Capitalist's Edge to transfer all or part of its business and/or assets (including www.capitalistedge.com) to an affiliate or independent third party at any time, for any purpose, without any limitation whatsoever.
In addition, due to the existing regulatory environment, The Capitalist's Edge cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), The Capitalist's Edge may be forced to disclose personal information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Therefore, although The Capitalist's Edge uses industry standard practices to protect your privacy, The Capitalist's Edge does not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will always remain private.
