Like most website operators, we collect information that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as your IP address, your browser type, information regarding your internet service provider or the type of device you used to access this website, language preference, pages visited, and the date and time of each page request. Some of this information may be considered Personal Data under applicable laws. Some of this data may also be sent to third-party content providers (for example: advertisers, website analytic companies, etc.) that provide content on our Services. Such sharing may allow the website and/or content providers to track you over time and across multiple websites. At this time, our site does not respond to Do Not Track beacons sent by browser plugins as there is not yet a common agreement about how to interpret Do Not Track signals from browsers. Additionally, if you navigate from or navigate to other websites from our site, we may collect the address of those websites.
We may collect information about your activities on this site through the use of cookies, clear gifs or web beacons, local shared objects or Flash cookies, or through other identifiers or technologies, including similar technologies as they may evolve over time. We refer to these technologies collectively as Data Technologies. We use Data Technologies to help us identify and track visitors, their usage of our Services, and their website access preferences.
We may allow third parties to use Data Technologies on our site. The information collected from these Data Technologies may be shared with and used by us, by others acting on our behalf, or by third parties. Information collected by Data Technologies may be used on this website or on other websites, services, or online applications, including websites that may not be operated by us. For example, we may partner with third party ad networks to either display advertising on our website or to manage our advertising on other sites. These ad-network partners use Data Technologies to collect information about your activities on this and other websites to provide you targeted advertising based upon your interests. These websites and third-party ad networks are not controlled by us.
We may offer financial incentives to participate in certain surveys or focus groups. Details of the incentive, if applicable, including how to opt in or out and the basis for the value of the incentive, will be provided prior to your participation.
You may be able to restrict our use of certain Data Technologies, such as cookies, by modifying your browser settings. For example, your web browser may enable you to refuse cookies. By restricting our use of Data Technologies, certain features of our Services may not function properly.
Subject to certain limitations, California Law permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Data during the past 12 months to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, California residents can write to us at privacypolicy@tradinglessons.com.
California residents may have certain rights under the CCPA, many of which are subject to limitations or exceptions under applicable law:
You may have the right to request the following information about the Personal Data or Other Information we may have collected about you during the past 12 months:
You may have the right to request that we delete the Personal Data and Other Information we have collected from you.
Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. In addition, we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes and/or to provide our Services to you. If you submit a request to delete, you may no longer be able to access or use our Services.
We will not deny, charge different prices for, or provide a different level of quality of goods or services if you choose to exercise CCPA Privacy Rights.
You have the right to opt out of the sale of your Personal Data and Other Information. Sale under California law may include sharing of Personal Data and Other Information with a third party for monetary or other consideration, such as allowing third parties to receive certain information including IP address and/or browsing behavior to deliver interest-based (also called targeted) advertising, or the sharing of a print mailing address with unaffiliated third party companies whose products and services may be of interest to you.
If you would like to exercise the Right to Know, Right to Delete, or Do Not Sell, you can contact Customer Service, send a Privacy Request using our email privacypolicy@tradinglessons.com
For your protection, we may only implement requests with respect to the Personal Data or Other Information associated with the particular email(s) you provide in your Privacy Request, and we will take steps to verify your identity before granting access to your Personal Data or Other Information or complying with your Privacy Request. For example, we may verify your Privacy Request by matching information you provide with our records, or you may be asked to log in to your online account (if applicable). We may request additional information to verify your identity depending on the nature of the Privacy Request and the sensitivity of the information sought, if you do not have an account with us, or if we have reason to suspect the security of your account is compromised.
You can use an authorized agent to submit your Privacy Request. If you use an authorized agent, in addition to verifying the Privacy Request itself (see above), we will also verify the authorized agent’s ability to act on your behalf (they should submit written permission to act on your behalf or a power of attorney).
Once we have verified your identity (and your authorized agent, as applicable), we will respond to your Privacy Request as appropriate. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may charge a reasonable fee to comply with your Privacy Request. If we are unable to complete your Privacy Request in whole or in part, we will let you know why.

We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.
In addition, we may share information we have collected from you, including Personal Data, in connection with the sale or merger of our business or the transfer of our assets, however, your Personal Data will continue to be protected by any pre-existing Privacy Statement, unless you agree otherwise.
You should also be aware that when you voluntarily disclose your Personal Data in any public areas of our Services, that Personal Data, along with any information disclosed in your communication, can be collected and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from third parties.
