The Curtis Marketwise Financial Industry Report on Services and Trends™ ("FIRST") is published by Curtis 1000 Inc. ("Curtis"), and we are very committed to protecting your privacy. We will use the information collected about you, to deliver information specific to your needs.

Security

FIRST has implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security to protect personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Only authorized FIRST personnel have access to personally identifiable information, and these employees are required to treat this information as confidential. Despite these precautions, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your personally identifiable information.

E-Mail Information

FIRST asks for your e-mail address when you register. We will send e-mail to this address (i) to confirm your registration, (ii) if you opt-in to our newsletters or alerts, and (iii) if you request that we contact you for any other reason.

FIRST occasionally distributes email promotions, however, we send no more than one (1) extra email per week and we clearly mark the emails as being from FIRST. As a courtesy to you, we always include the opt-out link in every email.

If you sign up to receive our newsletter and alerts, you may on occasion receive other correspondence from FIRST. Your e-mail address will not be shared with any third party other than an agent who has agreed to send e-mails on our behalf. In addition, we may contact you regarding major changes to the website.

Links to Third-Party Websites

The information gathered may be shared with corporate affiliates of Curtis. We may also share the information with third parties, including responsible companies with which we have a relationship.

FIRST may use an outside company to place its advertising banners or links on other websites or to permit other companies to place advertising on our website. In certain cases, the advertiser may collect information on people who click on the banner or link. We may also team with another website to conduct a sweepstakes or other event (e.g. a live web chat, seminar, survey). In those cases, each of the participating websites may collect or receive personal information from you. FIRST may provide links to third-party websites as a service to our users.

Please be aware that we cannot control and are not responsible for the information collection practices and policies of such third-party websites. We encourage you to review and understand the privacy policies of these other websites before providing any information to them.

Additionally, FIRST may share information when we believe it is necessary to comply with laws or to protect our interests or property. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, credit bureaus, agents, or government agencies.

In the event that some or all of the business assets of Curtis are sold or transferred, we generally would transfer the information about our subscribers.

Finally, FIRST may share your personal information with unrelated outside companies so they can directly market their products or services to you. We also may provide you with the opportunity to sign-up on our website to receive such e-mail offers.
