Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. Because we gather certain types of information about the users of Market Analyst products and services, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it.

1. Information Market Analyst Software Gathers and Tracks

Market Analyst Software gathers two types of information about users: data that users provide through downloads; and data Market Analyst Software gathers through aggregating tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites and click throughs from any of our partners. Such information enables us to better tailor our content to readers' needs and to help our advertisers better understand the demographics of our audience. Because Market Analyst Software derives revenue from advertising, providing such aggregated demographic data is essential. Market Analyst Software does not divulges information about an individual user to a third party at any time.

Market Analyst Software gathers user information in the following processes:

Download Forms

During the download process the user is required to supply their name, contact phone number and email address, and must answer mandatory survey questions about age, gender, income, Internet connection, zip code, country, employment status, and other employment information

Polling

Occasionally Market Analyst Software will conduct offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see what the Market Analyst Software audience thinks about important issues. Market Analyst Software uses a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.

Message Boards/Forums

Users of the Market Analyst Software Registered User Forum must register separately for this services (free of charge) in order to post messages. During registration the user is required to supply a username, password, and email address.

Electronic Newsletters (Dispatches)

Market Analyst Software delivers newsletters, marketing and product offerings via email to people who have requested to be added to our Mailing list and people who have downloaded Market Analyst products. The email tracking system recognizes the URL that was clicked, and records some information about you and your computer, such as the email address that you provided to us, the browser, operating system and IP address.

Market Analyst Software also uses the feature of your browser to set a "cookie" on your system. This allows us to measure and report the click through rate on e-mails delivered and them better determine future content.

While aggregate counts of click through behavior are provided to advertisers, an advertiser will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. Market Analyst Software will not provide specific user information to any third party company.

Surveys

Occasionally Market Analyst Software conducts user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.

Usage Tracking

Market Analyst Software tracks user traffic patterns throughout our site.

Market Analyst Software sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter in our Site Search, but this tracking is never associated with individual users.

We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. Market Analyst Software never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers or partners. 
• When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. Market Analyst Software does not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. 
• We track search terms entered in our site search as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a particular user enters.
