Investing Systems Inc. Privacy Policy Last Update 04/21/2001

The Investing Systems Network and its client advertisers consider Internet user privacy to be of paramount importance. The information below outlines our commitment to protecting users' privacy and to ensuring the Internet's integrity.

The Investing Systems Network does not know the name, phone number or home address of individuals to whom we deliver advertisements on the Internet. The identities of all users who see an ad from a Investing Systems server remain completely anonymous to us.

In the course of delivering an ad to you, we do not collect any personally-identifiable information about you (e.g. names, addresses, etc.). Therefore, we have none to sell, rent, or give away to third parties. The information we collect includes ads served to and clicked on by users. We also collect data indicating whether or not a user visits specific pages of a client advertiser's Web site (e.g. a registration or checkout page). This information is useful only to the specific advertiser who commissioned us to deliver its ads, and only in the context of creative selection and effectiveness reporting. In the unlikely event that a third party gained access to the Investing Systems Network user numbers and non-personally identifiable information, this data would be meaningless and useless.

In some cases, you may voluntarily provide personal information in response to a specific ad (this ad may ask you to fill out a survey or provide your zip code). If this does occur, the Investing Systems Network may collect this information on its own behalf or on behalf of an advertiser. This information may be used by the Investing Systems or an advertiser to respond to your request, and on occasion we may make this information available to valuable sponsors. In addition, Investing Systems may combine this information with other users' information and review it in an aggregate form to understand the type of individuals who view a specific type of ad or visit a particular kind of website. The Investing Systems Network stores a random user number in a "cookie" on each user's computer. An Investing Systems Network cookie stored on a user's hard drive only contains a random user number (most of the sites you visit use some form of cookie). Cookies are not programs and cannot cause damage to your system. Investing Systems uses this number to track advertising effectiveness. One example of this is measuring ad frequency; this helps us ensure that a user is not bombarded with the same creative over and over again.

While we believe that cookies enhance the Web experience for the user by limiting the repetitiveness of advertising and increasing the level of relevant content on the Web, they are not essential to our delivering the Internet's most effective advertising. If you do not want the benefits of allowing cookies to be stored on your computer, there are several options available to you.

These include:

1. Blocking all cookies by globally or selectively disabling cookie use in the browser configuration 2. Opting-out of the Investing Systems Network cookie.

If you provide us with personal information by purchasing a product, the personal information you provided us and information about order will not be shared with third parties. This information may be combined with other personally identifiable information (such as demographic information and past purchase information) available from our records and other sources. This information may be used to make our future marketing efforts more efficient.

If you agreed to receive e-mail from us, we will not share your email address with other parties. Additionally, each e-mail we send you will include a description of the simple opt out process to enable you to stop receiving future e-mail.
