which the computer accessed the Internet - the Internet address of the website

Non-personal information does not tell us who you are.

WHAT DO WE DO WITH NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We will use non-personal information to help us make the Website more useful to
visitors and for other business purposes. For example, we may tell business
partners how many computers visited this Website or what pages were most
popular. We may prepare reports and other materials using non-personal

we may share them with others.
WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In the process of registering for a username and password, and in some other
places on this Website, some visitors may have the chance to send us “personal
information”. Personal information includes information that tells us
specifically who a person is, such as a person’s name, email address, or
similar identifying information.
HOW DO WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?
The only way we learn or collect personal information online is if a visitor
chooses to provide us with that information. For example, if you fill out a
form to register as a StockArena member, you will tell us and we will learn
your full name and email address.
HOW DO WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION?
If you submit personal information, you agree that we may keep a record of the
personal information. For example, we may keep a record of your name and e-mail
address in order to keep track of the username and password we assigned to you.
We also may use personal information to help us in our business, including but
not limited to improving this Website and marketing and product development, or
to contact you in the event you earn a cash award, gift certificate, or other
award. You also agree that we may share personal information with other
businesses who help us with these activities. For example, if you pay for your
StockArena membership by Visa or MasterCard, we will share your name and card
number with Visa or MasterCard so that we can process your payment. These other
companies may not use or share your personal information with others except for
the purpose of assisting us with our business activities pursuant to our
request. Also, we may share personal information with other companies we do
business with, such as business partners, affiliates, or successors. We may
also share personal information if required to comply with a law, regulation,
court order, or other legal process. We may share personal information to
protect our rights or property.
