Tiger Shark Publishing LLC Privacy Policy

Last revised: May 24, 2018

Tiger Shark Publishing LLC shares your concern about the protection of your personal information online. This is our policy regarding the privacy of information we collect on our web sites. We have recently revised our policy. Please take some time to review the new version below. This Privacy Policy includes examples of the types of personal information we collect and the kinds of companies with whom we share such information. These examples are illustrative and should not be considered a complete inventory of our information collection, use and sharing practices. We will comply with applicable state laws that may restrict the types of information we may disclose about you or require us to provide you with additional notices.

Information Gathered and Tracked by Tiger Shark Publishing LLC.

Tiger Shark Publishing LLC gathers two types of data about users: (a) personal information, which individual users provide (i) when registering as a member of TigerSharkTrading.com, our free flagship site, and (ii) voluntarily at certain other points, such as giveaways, contests or surveys; and (b) tracking information, which is automatically collected about all visitors to our sites. Newsletters and mass emails use third-party email service providers, which provide important marketing information and specifically track individual email opens and clicks.

Personal Information

Tiger Shark Publishing LLC collects personal information in several places on our web sites, which are set forth generally below. We will always provide a secure area of our sites for you to enter your information, but if you prefer, you may talk offline to a customer service representative and provide the required information over the telephone or via email.

Membership

You are consider a Member of TigerSharkTrading.com by simply accessing the free commentary, analysis and news available on our flagship site, www.tigersharktrading.com.

Chats, Reader's Forum and Moderator

We provide chat events for discussion of various topics and we allow readers to submit questions to authors and moderators. No additional personal information is required to submit questions, but participants are asked in the interests of accountability, honesty and informed dialogue to include their full names, as well as any positions they have in stocks mentioned in the question submitted. Please note that information you submit will be available for any user to read, and is no longer private.

Surveys/Polls

At certain times, you may be asked to participate in surveys, which are generally aimed at obtaining general information, for example, your investment experience or your reactions to a particular article. Because information obtained in these surveys is connected with individual subscribers and is used internally to better market our services, participation is voluntary. In addition, some columnists will on occasion take polls of their readers. Such polls are solely for the editorial use of the individual columnists, and participation is voluntary.

Contests and Sweepstakes

We sometimes offer contests or sweepstakes in which certain personal information is required for registration, for purposes of verifying the entrants' identities and notifying the winners. If the contest or sweepstakes is being administered by a third party, this information will be disclosed to that third party. However, entrants may select contest names distinct from their User Names, and the information is not connected with their User Names. Tracking Information Giveaways

We sometimes will offer free giveaways to readers and member in exchange for providing personal information. Participating is completely voluntary.

Tracking data consists of both individual and aggregated tracking information and is automatically gathered using "cookies".
