For example, if you indicate that you would like to receive information about the opportunities, products or services of third parties, we supply your contact information to third parties for the purpose of sending you email or otherwise communicating with you.

Examples include hosting our Web servers, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service.

If a notification is appropriate, we would endeavor to do so as promptly as possible under the circumstances, and, to the extent we have your e-mail address, we may notify you by e-mail. You consent to our use of e-mail as a means of such notification. If you prefer for us to use another method to notify you in this situation, please e-mail us at support@sportscardinvestor.com. with the alternative contact information you wish to be used.
4. IP Address and Clickstream Data
Our server automatically collects data about your server’s Internet address when you visit us. This information, known as an Internet Protocol address, or IP Address, is a number that’s automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider whenever you’re on the Internet. When you request pages from our web site, our servers may log your IP Address and sometimes your domain name. Your IP Address is used to help identify you and to gather demographic information about our customers as a whole, but does not include personally identifiable information. Our server may also record the referring page that linked you to us (e.g., another web site or a search engine); the pages you visit on this web Site; the web site you visit after this web site; the ads you see and/or click on; other information about the type of web browser, computer, platform, related software and settings you are using; any search terms you have entered on this web site or a referral site; and other web usage activity and data logged by our web servers. We use this information for internal system administration, to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Services. Such information may also be used to gather demographic information, such as country of origin and Internet Service Provider. We may link this information with your Personal Information.
5. Use of Cookies/Web Beacons
As part of our service, we use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. Some features of our site may be available only through the use of a cookie. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Generally, we use cookies to remind us who you are and enable us to access your account information so you do not have to reenter it; gather statistical information about usage by registered or unregistered users, research visiting patterns, and help target advertisements based on user interests. In some instances, our retail partners and advertisers appearing at our site may use their own cookies. Preference and options configurations in your browser determine if and how a cookie will be accepted. You can change those configurations on your computer if you desire. By changing your preferences, you can accept all cookies, you can be notified when a cookie is set, or you can reject all cookies. If you do so and cookies are disabled, you may be required to reenter your information more often and certain features of our site may be unavailable.
Our Services may contain electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) that allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Web beacons are not used to access your personally identifiable information; they are a technique we use to compile aggregated statistics about our Web site usage. Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides. You may not be able to decline web beacons, however, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.
6. Access to and Modification of Your Information
You may review, correct, update or change your SportsCardInvestor.com account information at any time through the SportsCardInvestor.com website (by clicking on your username in the upper right-hand corner of the screen when you are logged in), or by emailing us at support@sportscardinvestor.com. If you receive newsletters, commercial emails or other communications from Sports Card Investor, but subsequently change your mind, you may opt-out by following the procedures set forth in section 11.
We may retain indefinitely all the information we gather about you in an effort to make your repeat use of Sports Card Investor more efficient, practical, and relevant. You can close your Sports Card Investor account at any time, in which event we will mark your account as closed and limit access to your information by Sports Card Investor personnel only, by emailing support@sportscardinvestor.com.
7. Security of the Personal Information
We have implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes.
When you place an order online for goods or services through our Services, your credit card information is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) protocol. SSL makes it difficult for your credit card information to be intercepted or stolen while being transmitted. We use a third party company to process credit card transactions and store your credit card and billing information if you provide it to us.
8. Phishing
With identity theft a continuing problem, it has become increasingly common for unauthorized individuals to send e-mail messages to consumers, purporting to represent a legitimate company such as a bank or on-line merchant, requesting that the consumer provide personal, often sensitive information. Sometimes, the domain name of the e-mail address from which the e-mail appears to have been sent, and the domain name of the web site requesting such information, appears to be the domain name of a legitimate, trusted company. In reality, such sensitive information is received by an unauthorized individual to be used for purposes of identity theft. This illegal activity has come to be known as “phishing.”
If you receive an e-mail or other correspondence requesting that you provide any sensitive information (including your web site password or credit card information) via e-mail or to a web site that does not seem to be affiliated with our web site, or that otherwise seems suspicious to you, please do not provide such information, and report such request to us at support@sportscardinvestor.com.
We will have no liability for disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties during or after transmission.
9. Changes to Privacy Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy at any time by posting an updated version to this Web page.
If at any time, you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or believe that we have not adhered to this Privacy Policy, please feel free to email us at support@sportscardinvestor.com.
10. Opt Out and Deletion of Information
Except as necessary for Sports Card Investor to provide the services or information requested by you, you may opt out of having your personally identifiable information, which has been provided to Sports Card Investor, prospectively retained by Sports Card Investor.
If you do not want to receive email communications from us in the future or desire that we not retain and delete any personally identifiable information, you may send an email to support@sportscardinvestor.com and tell us that you do not want to receive email from our company and/or wish to have your information no longer retained and deleted. If you choose to no longer have your information retained and want it to be deleted, we will have to delete your SportsCardInvestor.com account as your information is required to operate your account. Once your account is deleted, you should not return to the website and/or create another account, as that will begin storing your information again.
