Privacy Policy

Index Investing, LLC has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website: ETFzone.com ("Site").

IP Addresses and Cookies

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Site. Your IP address is used to gather broad demographic information. We may use cookies to save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our Site.

Data Collection and Use

Our Site's basic registration form typically collects only your e-mail in order to authenticate users and keep out hackers and robots. This e-mail is never forwarded to advertisers or outside firms but may be used to send you a newsletter, if you have requested it.

Online surveys, order forms, and contests may request users to give us contact information (which, among other things, may include name, physical address, telephone number and e-mail address); demographic and portfolio information (which, among other things, may include education level, personal interests, age, investments and investment strategies, and income level); financial information (like account or credit card numbers); and unique identifiers (like social security numbers).

Contact information may be used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary such as to send a newsletter but is not shared with outside firms except as aggregated statistics or targeted advertising where no individual user is identifiable. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Demographic and portfolio information may be used to create aggregated articles and content where no individual may be identified for publishing on ETFzone.com and other sites, with the purpose of educating visitors on other visitors' investment activity. Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for products and services. Unique identifiers (such as a user name, password or e-mail) are collected from Web site visitors to verify the user's identity. Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. This information may be published in aggregate so as not to disclose any individual identity in articles about investor behavior.
