ClearStation's Web servers collect all the standard usage information that is included in the NCSA extended/combined log format. ClearStation uses this information internally to track usage of our site and performance. Because some of our advertising is served by third parties, they will receive the standard Web server log information.

For all ClearStation visitors:
ClearStation uses cookies to improve the functionality of the Web site, and to enhance the member experience. The non-member ClearStation cookies a)identify your Internet browser, not you as an individual, and b)track your session on the site and expire when you close your browser. If your browser does not have a cookie from ClearStation, one will be served to you when you first visit our site and will identify your browser as a new visitor. If you already have a cookie from us, we identify your browser as a repeat visitor. ClearStation also uses cookies to remember the usernames of visitors who decide to become ClearStation members. The ClearStation cookies do not collect any personal information, and expire either after 180 days or when you close your browser.

Most Internet browsers can be set to notify you when a cookie is being placed on your computer. You can refuse to accept cookies, and you can erase cookies that are already on your computer. For more information, please consult the user's manual, FAQ, or Help function of your browser and operating system software.

For ClearStation Members:
The foregoing information applies to you. Additionally, ClearStation will not sell your name or email, or share them with unaffiliated third parties. Though ClearStation may share aggregate demographic and other general information with its advertisers and partners, it will never include data identifying you personally.

ClearStation will not disclose any information to unaffiliated third parties that could identify you personally, except when we have your permission to do so. However, under certain circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that we are required to do so by law, your information may be disclosed. ClearStation may disclose your personal information when we believe that its disclosure is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be in violation of the Member Agreement or may be injuring, infringing or interfering with ClearStation's rights or property, or those of other members or securities being discussed, whether this interference, infringement or injury is deliberate or unintentional.

All ClearStation portfolio data is secure. ClearStation does not examine the contents of your portfolio unless there is a problem or some other specific reason for us to do so (you will be notified in such a case). Under no circumstances will the contents of any of our members' ClearStation portfolios (other than their Recommend portfolios) be shared with anyone.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online (on message boards, through email, or in chat areas, for example) that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
