We are strongly committed to safeguarding subscribers' privacy. We operate under the following strict privacy policy:

Any information you provide is never shared with a third party company, except as may be required by law, and is used for the sole purpose of providing access to member features, customizing the content to our subscribers' tastes, and better understanding the demographics of our community.

We will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. You must be at least 18 years old to subscribe.

Cookies
Each time a subscriber logs into this site, we store a temporary 'cookie' in the browser files of that subscriber's computer. This cookie is used during your online session to allow you free access to the Subscribers Area, without repeatedly requiring you to re-enter your user name and password.

When you log off or leave the site, the cookies file is automatically removed.

External Links
In order to provide visitors with greater value, some of our pages may provide links to various third party websites. In no case is subscriber information or 'cookies' provided to the third party sites.

However, keep in mind that many sites do attempt to capture visitor information when you browse those sites. Once you leave our site, we are not able to alert you should another site attempt to gather information from your browser.

Private Forums
We provide our subscribers with a multi-tiered Discussion Forum that makes sharing information with other subscribers easy. To protect your privacy when posting or replying to messages in the message board, your personal information and email is not revealed.

However, remember that any information you disclose in the message board areas can be read by all other subscribers, so exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.

Privacy for member profile pages
The profile pages are set to instruct search engines to not index or follow the information on the page. You can edit various fields in your profile to be see by you only, your friends or everyone. As with anything else online, do not post any information that you wish to remain private. The site owners reserve the right to remove any content that they feel is offensive, illegal or objectionable to their standards. Please report any possible concerns to the webmaster of this site.

Security
We use a variety of security measures including encryption and authentication from Thawte to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of your personal information under our control.

Choice/Opt-In
Our site gives users the opportunity to opt-in to receive communications from us. You can be assured that we never reveal, sell, or make available your email address to anyone for any purpose. This site also gives users options for removing their information from our database in order to stop receiving our communications.

We regularly send out a newsletter/ezine to our members. We may also occasionally send out special editions with information we think members might be particularly interested in. These newsletters may contain sponsored ads from advertisers as well as Rockanomics.com.
