Use and Sharing of Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to the service providers, contractors, analytics providers, advertising platforms and other recipients described in this Privacy Policy. We do not sell subscriber names, email addresses or telephone numbers to advertisers for money. However, certain disclosures for audience matching, cross-context behavioral advertising, retargeting, conversion measurement or similar advertising activities may be considered a “sale,” “sharing” or processing for targeted advertising under applicable state privacy laws. Where required, we provide the right to opt out of those activities.

The Site Offerings and Invested Alpha Newsletter may contain advertisements and links to third-party websites. If you choose to visit a third-party website or provide information there, that third party collects the information directly under its own privacy policy. We do not provide advertisers with your subscriber contact information merely because they advertise in our newsletter.

Where you register to access any of the Site Offerings, we use the personal information that you make available to personalize your experience with the Site, facilitate the provision of the applicable Site Offerings to you and for verification purposes. You also agree that we may contact you at any time with updates and/or any other information that we may deem appropriate for you to receive in connection with your continued use of the Site Offerings, and to keep you informed of our other products and/or services, as well as third-party products and/or services, that we think may be of interest to you.

In addition, if you identify yourself to us by sending us an email or some other communication with questions or comments, we may use such information (including personal information) to respond to your questions or comments, and we may file your questions or comments for future reference.

By submitting your personal information by and through the Site Offerings, you agree that such act constitutes an inquiry and/or application for purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule (16 CFR §310 et seq.), as amended from time to time (the “Rule”) and applicable state do-not-call regulations.

Security of Your Personal Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Access to your personal information is strictly limited, and we take reasonable measures to ensure that your personal information is not accessible to the public. The servers that we store personal information in are kept in a secure physical environment. We also have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of personal information under our control.

Computer hackers that circumvent our security measures may gain access to certain portions of your personal information, and technological bugs, errors and glitches may cause inadvertent disclosures of your personal information; provided, however, that any attempt to breach the security of the network, our servers, databases or other hardware or software constitutes a crime punishable by law.

All of our Users’ personal information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices.

Our employees are dedicated to ensuring the security and privacy of all User personal information. Employees not adhering to our policies are subject to disciplinary action. In compliance with applicable federal and state laws, we shall notify you and any applicable regulatory agencies in the event that we learn of an information security breach with respect to your personal information.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, Right to Correct and Deletion Rights

To exercise access, data portability, correction or deletion rights, submit a verifiable Covered User request by:

• Submitting our online Privacy Request form
• Calling us at (800) 611-0463 or emailing us at info@investedalpha.com; or

• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you.  Making a verifiable Covered User request does not require that you create an account with us.  We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable Covered User request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to all verifiable Covered User requests within forty-five (45) days of the receipt thereof.  If we require more time (up to an additional forty-five (45) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.  We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.  Any disclosures that we provide will only cover the twelve (12) month period preceding the receipt of your verifiable request.  The response that we provide will also explain the reasons that we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.  For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable Covered User request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

If we deny an access, right-to-know, data-portability, correction or deletion request, you may appeal within thirty (30) days by using our Privacy Request form, emailing info@investedalpha.com, or writing to Economic Media LLC, 1053 Farmington Avenue, Farmington, CT 06032.

Opt-Out Preference Signal Processing

Where required by applicable law, the Site recognizes legally valid opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of sale, sharing and targeted advertising for the browser or device sending the signal. We process a recognized signal without requiring additional information and display an “Opt-Out Request Honored” or comparable confirmation where technically feasible. Because Users do not maintain accounts on the Site, the signal generally applies only to the browser or device from which it is received. To apply an opt-out request to information associated with an email address, telephone number or offline record, submit our Privacy Request form. We process opt-out signals and requests as soon as reasonably practicable and within the period required by applicable law.
