Winner's Circle Privacy Policy
July 1, 2008
Internet privacy is an issue that we take seriously,
and The Winner's Circle is committed to protecting
your privacy. We believe it is important for
you to know what information is being collected
about you, how that information is being used,
with whom it is being shared, and how to contact
us if you have additional questions or concerns.
What information does Winner's Circle gather?
Personally identifiable information ("PII")
is information you provide that lets us know
specific facts about you to help us compete
orders for products and services you have requested
and with our financial advisor evaluations and
rankings to the extent you wish to participate
in such programs. This information can include
your name, address, zip code, age, credit card
information, and other relevant information.
Upon request via postal mail, e-mail, facsimile,
or telephone at the address or phone or fax
number set forth below, you may request that
we modify, correct, change, or update PII that

By participating in our services and using
our website, you consent to the collection and
use of PII as described in this privacy policy.
If we change this policy, we will so indicate
on our website and your continued use of this
site will be deemed acceptance of those changes.
Gathering and Use of Personally Identifiable
Information
We collect PII that you provide to us when
you order products or services from us or you
agree to participate in our evaluations and
rankings. PII that you provide in connection
with products and services you have ordered
is used to process your orders and, from time
to time, to inform you of issues related to
this site and our company, and other products
and services we and our affiliates may offer.
Otherwise, we may use your information in an
aggregated, non-identifiable form.
In addition, we will collect and use PII for
our evaluations and rankings if you wish to
participate in such programs. Certain portions
of your PII (such as your name, contact information
such as location or address and telephone number,
firm name, assets, business type, client types,
typical account sizes, products and services
offered, community involvement and more), may
be made available to third parties who have
ordered or otherwise have access to our evaluations
and rankings, such as publications that publish
our rankings, and you expressly consent to such
disclosure of your PII.
We will not willfully sell, trade, rent, disclose,
or make available PII about you to any third
party without your prior consent, except (i)
as expressly provided for in this privacy policy,
(ii) when we believe in good faith that the
law requires it, or (iii) to a successor to
our entire business or a relevant portion of
our business.
Use of "Cookies"
The Winner's Circle website uses cookies to
monitor traffic flow, patterns of travel within
and through the sites, and to dynamically generate
advertising and content. Cookies are a standard
Internet technology that allows us to both store
and retrieve login information on a user's system.
Our web server automatically asks a new user
whether his or her browser will agree to accept
a Winner's Circle cookie file. If a visitor
accepts, our web server will identify the user's
cookie for Winner's Circle's use in internal
reporting. If a user accepts a Winner's Circle
cookie, but would later like to remove it from
his or her computer for privacy purposes or
other lawful purpose, he or she can just remove
it from the browser. Without cookies, all of
the website's functions may not work as intended.
Cookies designed to limit access to our site
beyond the scope your authorized access cannot
be deleted for that purpose.
Security Measures
We utilize industry standard security measures
designed to protect against the loss, misuse
and alteration of the information under our
control. Such security measures may include
the use of firewall protection and encryption
technology where appropriate. Although we take
reasonable precautions to assess the reliability
of such security technology, we rely on the
statements of the third party vendors that supply
such technology. Please note that while we have
endeavored to create a secure and reliable website
for users, the confidentiality of any communication
or material transmitted to/from the website
cannot be guaranteed.
Export of Personally Identifiable Information
By using the website, you acknowledge and consent
to the fact that the PII you provide through
your use of the website is stored and processed
by us in the United States where data protection
laws may not afford the same level of protection
as those of the country in which you are located
(this is the case for users located in the European
Economic Area ("EEA")). You also acknowledge
and consent to the fact that we may, at our
discretion, store and process such data in other
countries (including countries outside the EEA)
where data protection laws may not afford the
same level of protection as those of the country
in which you are located.
Children's Privacy Protection
The Winner's Circle understands the importance
of protecting children's privacy in the interactive
online world. The website is not designed for,
or intentionally targeted at, children 13 years
of age or younger. It is not our policy to intentionally
collect or maintain information about anyone
under the age of 13.
