All of your information is protected by industry-standard security technology. Equity Digest.com is owned and operated by 18kt.TV LLC. (18kt.TV) a Pennsylvania Limited Liability Company, and as such we respect your privacy. This statement of our Privacy Policy explains what information we gather from you and how we use that information. We consider the information you have shared with us strictly confidential and will use that information only as specified in this Privacy Policy or to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law.
Information We Gather and How We Use It
We collect certain information from you in order to provide you with the most interesting and useful Web site possible. We use your IP address to identify you, and other log file data to gather demographic information that helps us understand how you and our other subscribers use our Web site, and to administer our Web site. These log files are not tied to any personal information.
Any registration form requires you to give us your email and zip code only and may ask for additional contact information (like your name and email address), demographic information (like your age, occupation and income level) and profile information (like your investment experience) purely at the subscriber's option. We use your contact information to contact you about our Web site and provide you with information and promotional material from our advertisers. We use various other portions of your information to target advertising, and to personalize our Web site by showing you content that we think you might be interested in and displaying the content according to your preferences.
We sometimes conduct or sponsor surveys and contests on our Web site. If you elect to participate, we may ask you for contact, demographic and other information as part of these offerings. We would use this information to analyze and report on the results of surveys, to provide you with the results of the surveys and contests, and to send you information about our company and promotional material from our partners and advertisers. Participation in surveys and contests is completely voluntary.
Agents
We would use third party service providers to provide all of our credit card processing on our site for any premium services. This company does not retain your personally identifiable information for any other purpose.
Information We May Disclose
We share demographic, profile and other general information about you and our other subscribers with our advertisers on an aggregate basis. This means that we tell our advertisers general information about the characteristics of our subscriber base for example, such as how many male visitors and registered users we may have within a specific demographic location ie. postal code.
Our advertisers or clients may ask us to e-mail you updates or promotional information tailored to specific interests that you selected. We may send or relay you information from advertisers where you either requested specific information or was highlighted on our site.
We may disclose your contact information or other specific information about you to third parties 'ONLY' in conjunction with advertising, contests or new service offerings 'THAT YOU ELECT TO PARTICIPATE IN'.
Under all other circumstances we do not share your contact information with strategic partners, affiliates of the Company, or any other companies.
Since Equity Digest.com has a database, and in most cases separate client databases as a result of requests for more information from our members, we want to make it understood that we may co-mingle any of the databases.
As we continually look for ways to improve our business, we may buy, sell or merge with a company. If we buy or sell a business, the personally identifiable information collected will likely be transferred as a part of the sale. However, if we buy or merge with a business, we will honor all current requests that subscribers have made regarding e-mail communications. In the event that we sell the business, we will guarantee that the e-mail communications requests you have made of us are honored. For more information see the "Additional Information" section below.
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Web site.
We may release your contact and other information to third parties when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to (i) comply with state and or federal law, (ii) cooperate with state and federal regulatory agency investigations, (iii) comply with the terms of the Subscriber Agreements with NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange, (iv) enforce the terms of our User Agreement or License Agreement, or (v) protect the rights of the Equity Digest.com, it's owner and operator 18kt.TV LLC, or others.
Cookies
Our Web site uses both session ID and persistent "cookies" which deposit certain record keeping information in your hard drive. Any premium member service would usually have personally identifiable information tied to a cookie so that we can save your password and you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site. The cookie also keeps track of your preferences, your portfolio if you choose to create one, and keeps track of your status. See "terms of Use".
For general users we may only keep track of your movements on the Equity Digest.com site and log information such as the type of web browser you use and your IP address so that we can constantly improve our web site to suite the majority of users. The cookies for general users cannot typically read data from your hard drive or read cookie files created by other sites or applications, and do not record or store any personally identifiable information.
In some cases our Web site contains display ads sold by us or by outside advertising agencies. These ads may contain cookies, which will be deposited in your hard drive if you click on the ads. Information generated from cookies deposited on your hard drive by our advertisers is collected by our advertisers and we do not typically have access to this information.

You may subscribe for a fee to certain services through our Web site or purchase publications and merchandise through advertisers links. If you subscribe for services, which require payment of a fee or place an order with us through an order form, we may need your contact information and certain financial information such as your credit card number. Any financial information we collect will be used solely to bill you for the services and items you have purchased and to ship items to you.
Public Forums
Chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups may be made available to you in the future through our Web site. Please remember that any information disclosed in any chat room, regardless of the web site, becomes public information. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited responses. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose any of your personal information in a public forum.
Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number) on our registration or order forms, we ensure encrypted information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however.
