Last Updated: February 2, 2015           

We are strongly committed to letting you know how we will collect and use your personal information. The policies below apply to data and information collected and/or stored by LT Media LLC (“LT Media”, “we”, “us”, or “our”); its “Timmerman Report” website (“Site”) plus any affiliated websites; all email published or distributed by LT Media; and all other communications, interactive features or services (collectively, “Services”), however accessed and/or used, that we operate, make available, produce or maintain. We have established this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to let you know the kinds of personal information we may gather during your use of Timmerman Report Services, why we gather your information, what we use your personal information for, when we might disclose your personal information, and how you can manage your personal information.

Please be advised that the practices described in this Privacy Policy apply only to information gathered online through our Site and Services. It does not apply to information that you may submit to us offline or provided by companies or organizations to which we may link or who may link to us.

By using our Site and/or Services, you are accepting the practices described in our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site or Services. We reserve the right to modify or amend the terms of our Privacy Policy from time to time without notice. Your continued use of our Site and/or Services following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. If we intend to apply the modifications or amendments to this Privacy Policy retroactively or to personal information already in our possession, we will provide you with notice of the modifications or amendments.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or don’t see your concerns addressed here, you should contact us by email at service@timmermanreport.com.

Personal information may include information that you supply to us, as described more fully below, e.g., when you subscribe and/or register on the Site or a Service, upload content such as comments or provide your e-mail address. Personal information is any information that can individually identify you and includes, among other things, your name, e-mail address, telephone number, postal address, contact information and user ID associated with a social networking site that you use to sign onto your Timmerman Report account or connect or use with the Services. (In addition, as explained below, third-party agents acting on our behalf will collect and store billing information about you). Non-personal information includes information that does not personally identify you, but it may include tracking and usage information about your location, demographics, use of the Site and our Services.

Except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy, we do not disclose information about your Personal Information collected online to any companies not part of LT Media or its related entities. In no event will we sell or rent your Personal Information as part of a customer list or similar transaction.

 

Third-Party Agents

We may have third party agents, subsidiaries, affiliates and partners that perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting, billing, push notifications, email services, storage, bandwidth, content management tools, fraud protection, etc. These entities have access to the Personal Information needed to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of that Personal Information. They may also collect additional information about you. For example, we work with third-party companies to process credit card transactions related to your subscription and such processing is subject to the applicable third party’s privacy policy. They are restricted from using, selling, distributing or altering this data in any way other than to provide the requested services to the Site or Services.

We also may use third-party web analytics services on our Site or Services, such as those of Google Analytics, to help us improve our Site and Services. These service providers use technology to help us analyze how users use the Site and Services, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive on our Site. We collect and use this analytics information in aggregate form such that it cannot reasonably be manipulated to identify any particular individual user. The information (including your IP address) collected by the technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Services.

 

Emergency Situations

We may also use or disclose Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to applicable law or comply with legal process served on us or the Site and Services; (b) protect and defend our rights or property, the Site or our users, and (c) act under emergency circumstances to protect the personal safety of us, our affiliates, agents, or the users of the Site and Services or the public.

What Steps Are Taken To Keep Personal Information Secure?

We are concerned about ensuring the security of your Personal Information. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your device to our servers. Personal Information collected by our Service is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose your Personal Information to you. Please understand, however, that while we try our best to safeguard your Personal Information once we receive it, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

How Can We Transfer Your Personal Information?

Your information collected through our Site and Services may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which LT Media, its Clients, Affiliates or service providers maintain facilities. LT Media, its Clients, Affiliates, or service providers may transfer information that we collect about you, including personal information, across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. If you are located in the United States or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from US law, please note that we may transfer information, including personal information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction. By registering for and using the Site and/or Services you consent to the transfer of information to the US or to any other country in which LT Media, its Clients, Affiliates or service providers maintain facilities and the use and disclosure of information about you as described in this Privacy Policy.

How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

Following termination or deactivation of your account, Timmerman Report, its Clients, Affiliates, or its service providers may retain information (including your profile information) and user Content for a commercially reasonable time for backup, archival, and/or audit purposes.

What Happens When I Link To or From Another Website?

This Site and affiliated Services may contain links to other websites operated by third parties. Please be advised that the practices described in this Privacy Policy for Timmerman Report do not apply to information gathered through these other websites. We are not responsible for the actions and privacy policies of third parties and other websites.

 

Governing Law

 

This Site and related Services are published in the United States. We attempt to protect the Personal Information of all users of our Site and Services and we attempt to comply with local data protection and consumer rights laws to the extent they may apply to LT Media; but our Site is located and targeted to United States citizens and our policies are directed at compliance with those laws. If you are uncertain whether this privacy policy conflicts with the applicable local privacy laws where you are located, you should not submit your Personal Information to Timmerman Report.

Assignment

We may change our ownership or corporate organization while providing the Site or Services. We may also sell certain assets associated with the Site or Services. As a result, please be aware that in such event we may transfer some or all of your information to a company acquiring all or part of our assets or to another company with which we have merged. Under such circumstances we would, to the extent possible, require the acquiring party to follow the practices described in this Privacy Policy, as it may be amended from time to time. Nevertheless, we cannot promise that an acquiring company or the merged company will have the same privacy practices or treat your information the same as described in this Privacy Policy.

 

Changes to This Policy

As our Site and Services continue to develop, we may add new services and features. In the event that these additions affect our Privacy Policy, this document will be updated appropriately. We will post those changes prominently so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information and whether we will disclose it to anyone. We do, however, recommend that you read this Privacy Policy each time you use our Site or Services in case you missed our notice of changes to the Privacy Policy. We will not, however, materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of Personal Information we have previously collected from you without your express consent.

 

How Do I Opt-Out or Correct Information about Me
