MMR is committed
to respecting your privacy. Our privacy policy is listed below.
Please check back periodically, since the policy may be revised from
time to time.
1) Subscribers'
personal information
MMR collects
personal information from subscribers. This information is used to
process payments, to provide user-appropriate services (since
certain features are designed specifically for individuals,
institutions or brokers), and to contact subscribers when
necessary.
Subscriber information is held in strict confidence.Subscribers' personal particulars are never sold to outside parties. MMR and it's consulting partner does not release personal information to outside parties except under extraordinary circumstances, such as when MMR believes in good faith that the law requires it.
Any time we ask
for a credit card number, we transmit that credit card number in an
encrypted format, using industry-standard, Secure Socket Layer
encryption. Other, extensive security measures are in place to
protect against the loss, alteration, or misuse of subscriber
information.
MMR may report
aggregate subscriber information to advertisers. In such cases,
advertisers are never granted access to individual account
information. Also, from time to time, MMR or its associates may
notify subscribers of new products or services which may be of
interest to them.
2) Tracked
manager information
MMR collects
information from tracked money managers, including information about
company history, products, performance, and personnel. A manager's
request to be tracked by MMR constitutes that manager's consent to
allow MMR to publish, disseminate, analyze, sell access to, and/or
otherwise commercially use all information submitted by the manager
as MMR sees fit. However, when collecting information about manager
personnel, MMR requests instructions as to whether this information
should be made available:
- to MMR staff only,
- to MMR and its paid subscribers, or
- to MMR, its paid subscribers, and the general public.
Tracked managers
are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of these instructions. MMR
makes every effort to obey these instructions, subject to the
limitations of liability outlined in the Terms of Service. When
personnel information is restricted to MMR staff usage, MMR uses the
information to clarify performance or other data and to give
occasional notification of new features or services.
3) Other user
information

MMR's Web site and submit any of our online forms, personal

from time to time, MMR or its associates may use this information to
notify you of products or services which may be of interest to you.
Any such notifications will always include contact information that
you can use to:
- request not to receive future communications, or to
- change and modify information previously provided.
