Privacy Policy

21st Century Investor Publishing, Inc., 21st Century Investor and 21st Century Alert (hereafter all collectively referred to as "21st Century" or "we") take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy.

What this Privacy Policy covers:

This Privacy Policy covers 21st Century's treatment of personally identifiable information that 21st Century collects when you are on its websites, and when you use its services.

This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that 21st Century does not own or control, or to people that 21st Century does not employ or manage.

Information collection and use:

21st Century collects personally identifiable information when you register for a 21st Century-published newsletter, subscribe or make a purchase online or register to use any of our website's tools.

Each time a visitor comes to a 21st Century website, our servers -- like most on the Web -collect some basic technical information, including, for example, the visitor's domain name (e.g., whether the user is logged on from aol.com), referral data (e.g., we record the address of the last URL a user visited prior to clicking through to the 21st Century website) and browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform).

We also count, track, and aggregate the visitor's activity into our analysis of general traffic flows at our sites (e.g. tracking where traffic comes from, how traffic flows within the sites, etc.).

21st Century uses information for four general purposes: To verify you are a subscriber, to customize the content you see on our pages, to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, and to contact you about specials and new products.

Information sharing and disclosure:

21st Century may, at some time, sell or rent your personally identifiable information to vendors whom we have specifically chosen.

• 21st Century will send personally identifiable information about you to other companies or people when:
• We have your consent to share the information;
• We need to share your information to provide the product or service you have requested;
• We need to send the information to companies who work on behalf of 21st Century to provide a product or service to you. (Unless we tell you differently, these companies do not have any right to use the personally identifiable information we provide to them beyond what is necessary to assist us.);
• We respond to subpoenas, court orders or legal process; or
• We find that your actions on our websites violate the 21st Century Terms of Service or any of our usage guidelines for specific products or services.

Cookie technology:

21st Century may set and access cookies on your computer. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. We use cookies in a limited way to speed access to the site, to identify unique browsers that visit us, and to track usage throughout our site.

We gather anonymous information about our users through cookie technology on an aggregate level only.

Account information and preferences:

21st Century gives you the ability to edit your account/subscriber information and preferences at any time. Login as usual then visit "My profile" to do so.

Security:

Access to your personal information is password-protected for your privacy and security. We use industry-standard SSL-encryption to protect data transmissions.

Changes to this Privacy Policy:

21st Century may edit this policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent announcement on our pages.
