(“U.S”). If you are not yet 18 years old, or do not reside in the U.S., please

as specified below.
What
information are you collecting and how are you collecting it?
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of
numbers that serve as that computer’s “Internet Protocol” IP address. When a
visitor requests a page from any Web site within the Pinnacle Investments
Network, our Web servers automatically recognize that visitor’s domain name and
IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you
other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We use this
information to examine our traffic in aggregate, and to investigate misuse of
the Pinnacle Investments Network, its users, or to cooperate with law
enforcement. We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific
individuals. Our Web servers do not record e-mail addresses of the visitors.
What
are cookies?
From time to time, Pinnacle Investments or its advertisers may send a “cookie”
to your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your
browser from a Web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. A cookie
can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other Web
sites. Cookies do not damage your system. We use cookies to identify which
areas of Pinnacle Investments Network of Web sites you have visited or
customized, so the next time you visit, those pages may be readily accessible.
Our advertisers may also use cookies to ascertain how many times you’ve seen an
advertisement. Pinnacle Investments and/or our advertisers may use this
information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you
see on our site. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the
settings of your browser. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or
allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not
to accept these cookies, your experience at our Site and other Web sites may be
diminished and some features may not work as intended.
What
information do you collect when I register for something?
Pinnacle Investments offers access to some services that are free but that
require registration. We may use your registration contact information to send
notification of Pinnacle Investments products and services by e-mail and/or
postal mail. We may also use your IP address internally and share it with third
parties for reporting and statistical purposes.
What
other information do you request?
We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes of
conducting a survey or to provide additional services (for example,
subscriptions to e-mail newsletters, announcement lists or information about
conferences and trade shows). Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we
will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is
requested.
We may
from time to time send e-mail announcing new Pinnacle Investments products and
services. Except as stated above, Pinnacle Investments will not send you e-mail
that you have not agreed to receive. If you choose to supply your postal
address in an online form, you may receive mailings from other third party
companies.
When
you enter a contest or other promotion, we may ask for your name, address, and
e-mail address so we can administer the contest and notify winners.
What
information do you collect when I purchase something?
If you are purchasing something from Pinnacle Investments, we need to know your
name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card number and expiration date.
This allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your
order status. This information may also be used by us to notify you of related
products and services. Credit card information will not be shared or sold to
third parties for any purpose without your express permission.
Wherever
Pinnacle Investments collects personal information we make an effort to include
a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.
Who do
we share our information with?
Companies That Help Deliver Pinnacle Investments Products or
Services. Sometimes we hire companies to help us deliver products or
services (including processing your transaction, vendor direct shipping, credit
card authorization and fraud prevention). In those instances, we need to share
your information with these companies. Sometimes we also work with other
companies who assist us in gathering your information in order to enable us and
the other businesses of Pinnacle Investments to provide you products and
services. All of these companies are only allowed to use your information for
delivery of the product or service.
Companies
Offering Promotions, Products, or Services
On occasion, Pinnacle Investments may share your information, unless you elect
not to have us do so, with other unrelated outside third parties selected by
us, so that these third parties can directly market their products or services
via e-mail and/or postal mail.
Information
Sharing Between Affiliates
Pinnacle Investments reserves the right to share your personally identifiable
information, including your email, postal address, phone number and purchase
history, with its Affiliates. Pinnacle Investments may share your personally
identifiable information with Affiliates in order to conduct promotions, offer
special premiums, and share databases and equipment. We will not share your
credit card information with anyone, including Affiliates. We reserve the right
to share your information with other companies that become Affiliates.
Third-Party
Advertisers
Once you’ve clicked on a third-party advertisement and have left our Web site,
our Privacy Policy no longer applies. You must read the privacy policy of the
advertiser to see how your personal information will be handled on their site.
Purchase
or Sale of Businesses
As Pinnacle Investments continually strives to improve our business, from time
to time, Pinnacle Investments may purchase a business or sell one or more of
its businesses, and personally identifiable information regarding you may be
transferred as a part of the purchase or sale. IF Pinnacle Investments purchases
a business, the personally identifiable information received with that business
would be treated in accordance with the privacy policy of that business on the
date of sale. If Pinnacle Investments and/or its units or subsidiaries are ever
sold, acquired, merged, liquidated, reorganized, or otherwise transferred, we
reserve the right to transfer our user databases together with any personally
identifiable information contained therein, to a third-party. Pinnacle
Investments will make reasonable efforts to include provisions in the selling
contract to require the purchaser to treat your personally identifiable
information in the same manner you requested under this Privacy Policy.
Content
Partners
On some of our sites, we provide content that is created by a third-party
partner Web site. In some instances the third-party sites will collect
information in order to facilitate the transaction or to make the use of their
content more productive and efficient. In these circumstances the information
collected is shared between Pinnacle Investments and our third-party sponsors.
These third parties will receive your information because you will be visiting
their Web sites or using their links and, in doing so, you may provide
information directly to them. You therefore should refer to their privacy
policies to understand how they handle your information and what kinds of
choices you have.
On some
of our sites, Pinnacle Investments may provide you with a link to the supplier
of that product so that you may get further information. If you link to the
supplier’s site, the supplier may collect or receive information about you.
You
also may make a purchase from Pinnacle Investments through a link from another
Web site or search engine and may use their express checkout tool to do so.
When you do, please be aware that both Pinnacle Investments and that Web site
or search engine will receive your information.
Mandatory
Disclosures Required By Law
Pinnacle Investments will disclose personal information and/or an IP address,
when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary
to:
1) Conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on
Pinnacle Investments,
2) Protect and defend the rights or property of the Pinnacle Investments
Network of sites and related properties, or visitors to the Pinnacle
Investments Network of sites and related properties,
3) Identify persons who may be violating the law, the Pinnacle Investments
Terms of Use Agreement, the rights of third parties, or otherwise misusing the
Pinnacle Investments Network or its related properties,
4) Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities.
Your
Control Over Your Personal Information
Opt-Out/Changing Your Status
At any time, you can change choices you have previously made as to the use of
your personal information. Every communication Pinnacle Investments sends you
will contain a clearly worded “Opt-Out” or “Unsubscribe” link allowing you to
withdraw your permission for future mailings. Alternatively, you can send a
blank e-mail to support@pinnacle-investments.com and type “Remove” in the
subject field. This system is automated and must be contacted from the email
address you wish to have removed. Permission changes will be honored as soon as
possible after receipt. Please allow five to seven days for processing.
Permission changes will however not affect any information which you provided
to us and which we previously shared with our Content Partners.
OTHER
MATTERS
Data Security
Pinnacle Investments is committed to doing its best to maintain the security of
information collected on our site.
While
no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure from intrusion, we have
used and will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to put in place
the appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard
and secure the information we collect. When you place orders for purchased
products or access your payment information, we use industry standard SSL
(Secure Socket Layer) encryption technology to protect the storage and transfer
of your data from unauthorized parties. Encryption is a process by which a
message or information is scrambled while it is in transit to our website SSL
codes the information transferred between you and the server, rendering it
unreadable to anyone trying to intercept the information. In addition to our
online security efforts, we take steps to protect your personal data offline,
as well. All sensitive information and/or systems that house that information
(i.e., computers or filing cabinet) have physically restricted access in our
offices. Employees are granted access on a need-to-know basis pursuant to
specific job function requirements (for example, a billing clerk or a customer
service representative). Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our
security and privacy practices through periodic training sessions in an effort
to keep security awareness levels high.
Changes
to the Privacy Policy
Pinnacle Investments will occasionally update this Privacy Policy in response
to changing business circumstances and legal developments. If there are
material changes to this Policy or in how Pinnacle Investments uses your
personally identifiable information, Pinnacle Investments will prominently post
such changes prior to implementing the change. Pinnacle Investments encourages
you to periodically review this Policy to be informed of how we are protecting
your information. This Policy is current as of May 25th, 2018.
Information
About Children
We are committed to protecting the privacy and rights of children online. We
believe that children should be able to use the Internet in a safe, productive,
and efficient manner and should be afforded the highest protection available
with respect to their personal information. The Children’s Online Privacy
Protection Act (“COPPA”) took effect on April 21, 2000 and imposes certain
requirements on Web sites directed toward children under 18 that collect
information on those children, or on Web sites that know they are collecting
information on children under the age of 18. It currently is Pinnacle
Investments policy not to collect personal information on any person under 18.
To learn more about COPPA, consult the Federal Trade Commission’s COPPA Web
Site www.ftc.gov or you may call 202/FTC-HELP.
