This Privacy Policy controls and governs your use and access to any and all of Reink Media Group, LLC’s websites: AdvisorSearch.org (d/b/a of investor.com, LLC), StockBrokers.com, UK.StockBrokers.com, ForexBrokers.com, BrokerNotes.co, and RMG Insights Platform (collectively the "Website," “RMG,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). By “you” we are referring to visitors and users of any part of our website, Platform or Services. Some terms, conditions, and rights may depend on your location and other legal factors. Please see below for further information.

BY ACCESSING THE SITE, USING THE RMG INSIGHTS PLATFORM (THE “PLATFORM”) OR OUR SERVICES, OR OTHERWISE INTERACTING WITH REINK MEDIA GROUP, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, including the ARBITRATION and CLASS ACTION WAIVER provisions, below.

If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you are instructed not to use the Site, Platform, or Services.

WEBSITE VISITORS

Like most website operators, Reink Media collects non-personally identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available. This includes browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. From time to time, Reink Media may release non-personally identifying information in the aggregate. Examples include the publication of a report on trends in the usage of the Website or revealing viewing statistics on streaming videos.

Reink Media may collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses. Reink Media does not use such information to identify its visitors. Reink Media also does not disclose potentially personally-identifying information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

RMG INSIGHTS PLATFORM USERS

In addition to the personally-identifying information described in the above Website Visitors section, Reink Media may collect additional personally-identifiable information from users of the Platform including, for example, user name and business contact information, user credentials, navigation history, and other statistical use information. With the exception of user credential information, Reink Media does not use such information to identify users. User credential information will only be used to validate user access to the Insight Platform and for other purposes described in the Platform’s Terms of Use. Disclosure of the personally-identifying information collected by the Platform is as described further below in this Privacy Policy.

GATHERING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Certain visitors to the Website and users of the Platform choose to interact with the Website and Platform in ways that require Reink Media to gather personal information. The amount and type of information Reink Media gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who use our forums to provide a username and email address. In each case, Reink Media collects such information only as necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s or users’ interaction with the Website or Platform. As visitors or users voluntarily provide personal information, a visitor or user is always permitted to refuse to supply personal information. Visitors should note that there may be aspects of the Website or Platform that may not work or work in the intended manner without personal information.

USE AND PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Reink Media discloses potentially personally-identifying and personal information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (a) need to know that information in order to process it on Reink Media’s behalf or to provide services available on the Website, and (b) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using the Website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.

Reink Media does not rent or sell your potentially personally-identifying and personal information. Other than its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Reink Media discloses potentially personally-identifying and personal information only when required to do so by law, or when Reink Media believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Reink Media, third-parties, or the public at large.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM REINK MEDIA

By visiting the Website, you agree Reink Media may occasionally send you communications, whether by U.S. Mail and/or email, to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, provide you with valuable marketing information, or otherwise keep you informed about the Website and its services. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of communication to a minimum. You have the right to opt out of receiving these types of communications and need only notify us of your request to no longer receive such communications. This can be done by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email or, if the communication is sent via U.S. Mail, by emailing Reink Media via the contact page, calling Reink Media at 248-591-4351, or sending a written request to Reink Media at 409 S Washington Ave, Royal Oak, MI 48067. With respect to other requests you may send to us (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Reink Media makes reasonable efforts calculated to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personal information.

COOKIES

A cookie and similar technology such as a web-beacon (collectively, “cookies”) is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. The Website uses cookies to help Reink Media identify and track visitors, their usage of the Website, and their website access preferences. Reink Media’s cookies are both Session (only during your current session) and Persistent (remains with you beyond current session). Users of the Website may also experience both Session and Persistent third-party cookies, as described in the reference chart below. Visitors of the Website who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computer may opt out by either setting their internet browsers to refuse cookies before using the Website or, in the case of third-party cookies, by opting out directly with the third-party websites, by visiting the websites listed in the reference chart below and making the appropriate changes to the user preference setting. For clarity’s sake, most cookie-like technology such as web beacons are reliant on cookies to function properly, so in many instances declining cookies through a third-party website user preference setting will impair their functioning. Users should be advised that by opting out of receiving cookies, certain features of the Website may not function properly. For instructions on opting out of cookies, click on the help option in your web browser. Users should be further advised that by compliance with Reink Media’s informed consent policy, users have expressly granted their informed consent to the use of all cookies, including but not limited to, first-party Persistent cookies and third-party Session and Persistent cookies. For purposes of the informed consent policy, the duration of a user’s informed consent to the use of all cookies shall not exceed one-year. Following the expiration of the one-year period from the date of the user’s granting of informed consent, the user shall be again required to either grant Reink Media their informed consent for the use of cookies or opt out in a manner set forth above.

INFORMED CONSENT WAIVER FOR COOKIES

INFORMATION REGARDING COOKIES AND ORIGIN SOURCE

DO NOT TRACK AND GLOBAL PRIVACY SETTINGS

Do not track requests (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals allow users to opt out of certain types of tracking, including the sale of personal data, at the browser level instead of opting out at each individual website. Compliance with these requests and signals is optional and many websites do not follow these requests and signals. Along with many other websites, the Website does not honor these signals. However, as explained above, if you opt not to accept cookies, we do honor those requests. For more information, please see:

• https://globalprivacycontrol.org/ for a list of supported browsers and extensions);

THIRD PARTY WEBSITES

The Website contains links to other websites, apps, services and products (collectively, “Other Websites”). Reink Media and the Website do not control, review or endorse these Other Websites. Reink Media and the Website also do not review, endorse or necessarily agree with the privacy policies and notices used by these Other Websites. Before you share personal information with these Other Websites, you should review their respective privacy notices, practices and other information available about how they handle your personal information.

YOUR STATE DATA PRIVACY RIGHTS

Certain jurisdictions provide their citizens and residents with specific rights and protections regarding personal information. Some examples of these jurisdictions are (a) the European Union (“EU”) under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), (b) (c) California under the California Consumers Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and other similar laws and regulations. For more information about California privacy information, please see our California Privacy Policy. Your individual rights will depend on where you are a citizen or reside.

If you reside in a state like California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, and others, this section may apply to you. Depending on your state, you may have (and we will honor to the extent applicable) the following data subject rights:

FOR EEA AND UK RESIDENTS, THIS SECTION REPLACES AND OVERRIDES THE “YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS” SECTION ABOVE

Privacy Rights for EEA and UK Individuals.

EEA and UK residents have rights over how their personal data is processed and can exercise these rights at any time. You can exercise your rights by submitting a request through Your Privacy Choices.

• Right to know what information we have about you: This is known as the "right of access" and gives you the right to find out what, if any, personal data we have about you, how we process it, and to request a copy of the personal data.
• Right to correct your information: This is known as the "right of rectification" and gives you the right to ask that we correct or complete any personal data we have about you.
• Right to delete your information: This is known as the "right to erasure" or "right to be forgotten" and gives you the right to ask us to delete your personal data.
• Right to change how we use your information: This is known as the "right to restrict processing" and gives you the right to ask us to change how we use your personal data in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of the data or object to us using it in a certain way.
• Right to move your information: This is known as the "right to data portability" and gives you the right to ask to receive your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to have it transmitted to another controller.
• Right to stop us from using your information for certain purposes: This is known as the "right to object" and gives you the right to ask us to stop using your personal data for our legitimate interests when applicable.
• Rights relating to how we use your information to categorize you or make decisions about you: This is known as the "right in relation to automated decision-making and profiling": You have the right to be free from decisions we may make that are based solely on automated processing of your personal data, including profiling, if they produce a significant legal effect on you, unless such decision-making or profiling is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between you and us, or is made with your explicit consent.
• Right to withdraw consent: If we rely on your consent to use your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect our use of your data before we received notice that you wished to withdraw your consent.
• Right to file a complaint with the supervisory authority: If you have a concern about our privacy practices, including the way we handled your personal data, we invite you to Contact Us first with any concern as we would be happy to try and resolve it directly. You can also report your concern to your local EEA or UK data protection authority.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

When we transfer your personal data out of the EEA or UK, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your rights continue to be protected. We endeavor to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data and to use it only consistent with your relationship with us and the practices described in this Privacy Policy. We also enter into data processing agreements and standard contractual clauses with vendors as appropriate.

Any personal data that we collect, and process may be transferred to and stored in geographical regions where different data protection rules apply than in the EEA or UK. This means that your personal data can be transferred to third countries whose data protection laws are less stringent than in your home country.

If we need to transfer your personal data to a third party outside the EEA or UK, we will do so on the basis of: (i) an “adequacy decision” by the European Commission or "adequacy regulations" of the UK ICO, as appropriate; (ii) EU or UK-sanctioned “appropriate safeguards” for transfer such as Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission or the ICO ); (iii) your consent; (iv) where it is necessary for the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures; or (v) for the establishment, exercise or enforcement of legal claims or for overriding public interests, as appropriate.

PARENTAL CONSENT FOR CHILDREN’S PERSONAL INFORMATION

GDPR requires parental consent for the processing of children’s personal information under the age of 16 (Important Note: age of consent may be lowered to 13 by EU member states). The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) provides similar protections to residents and citizens of the United States. Our websites, apps, and services are not intended for children under the age of 17, and we do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 17. If you are under 17, please do not submit any personal information through our websites, apps, or other services. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 17, we will make reasonable efforts to delete such information from our records.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, you may contact us to review, delete, or withdraw consent for the collection, use, and/or disclosure of your child's personal information as required by law. Parents and guardians may request that we delete or refuse further collection of their child’s personal information.

If you believe we may have collected personal information from a child under 17, please contact us immediately at:

• Email: admin@reinkmedia.com.

We are committed to protecting children's privacy and complying with all applicable laws regarding the collection and use of personal information from minors.

OTHER STATE RIGHTS

CALIFORNIA “SHINE THE LIGHT” LAW/YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits consumers who are California residents, to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, information about the categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law), if any, that we disclosed in the preceding calendar year to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Our disclosure requirements apply only if we share our consumers’ personal information with third parties for them to directly market their own products to those consumers, instead of assisting us with our own business. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, email us at admin@reinkmedia.com.

CALIFORNIA FINANCIAL INCENTIVES

We may offer you certain financial incentives for the collection of your Personal Information and as permitted by the CCPA. These incentives may result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time. 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 or at the time of your participation.

Additional Information for Colorado Residents

NOTICE OF BONA FIDE LOYALTY PROGRAM DISCLOSURE

We offer our customers a loyalty program that provides certain perks, such as rewards and exclusive offers. We may also provide other programs, such as sweepstakes, contest, or other similar promotional campaigns (collectively, the “Programs”). When you sign up for one of these Programs, we typically ask you to provide your name and contact information (such as email address and/or telephone number). Because our Programs involve the collection of personal information and offering of certain benefits, they might be interpreted as a “bona fide loyalty program” under Colorado law.

You may withdraw from participating in a Program at any time by contacting us using the designated method set forth in the applicable Program rules or by emailing us at admin@reinkmedia.com.

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

We provide you with a variety of ways to control the personal information we hold about you, including choices on how we use that information.

1. Account Settings. You may access, modify or delete your account, update your subscriptions and email newsletters associated with that account here.
2. Communication Preferences. You can unsubscribe from email, mail, telephone and text message communications from us. To do so, email us at admin@reinkmedia.com.

   a. For email requests, it may take up to ten days for us to process your requests. For requests related to telephone calls, text messages, mobile service notifications it may take up to 30 days. If you adjust your postal mail preferences, it may take six to ten weeks before you stop receiving mail because postal mailings are prepared many weeks in advance.

   b. Regardless of your marketing communication preferences, we may still contact you for transactional or informational purposes, such as customer service, reminder or service notices, recalls, or information regarding your subscription or order(s).

3. Opt-Out of Targeted Advertising. We may use your information for targeted advertising purposes, as described above. To opt-out of targeted advertising or manage your preferences, click here.
4. Cookie Controls. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can go to your browser settings to learn how to delete or reject cookies. If you choose to delete or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our websites. If you choose to delete cookies, settings and preferences controlled by those cookies, including third party targeted advertising preferences, may be deleted and may need to be recreated. For more information, click the preferences link here.
5. Global Privacy Settings. Some browsers and browser extensions support the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating your choice to opt-out from certain types of data processing, including data sales. This Website does not honor these signals.
6. Access, Correct, Delete or Restrict Processing of Your Information. In some jurisdictions, you may have the right to access, modify or delete the personal information that we have about you. To exercise any of the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by:
   Emailing us at: admin@reinkmedia.com.
   You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a twelve (12) month period.
7. Other State-Specific Privacy Rights. If you reside in a state with a state privacy law, you may have additional privacy rights. Our State Data Privacy Rights section of this Privacy Policy includes instructions on how you may exercise those rights.
8. Verification & Authorized Agents. You may use an authorized agent to submit verifiable consumer requests on your behalf. An authorized agent is a natural person or a business entity that you have authorized to act on your behalf. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity and requests, including by verifying your account information, residency or the email address you provide. If you are an authorized agent submitting a request on behalf of another individual, we may require proof of your written authorization before processing the request. We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proper verification proof.

   a. Under GDPR, data controllers must ensure that they verify the identity of the data subject making the request to prevent unauthorized access to personal data. Accordingly, you will need to verify your identity and/or confirm your request before we can act on your request. As part of this process, you will be required to verify your name and email address and may also be required to provide your address and phone number associated with your account (if you have one), and/or in some cases provide government identification for more sensitive requests. We endeavor to balance the need for verification with the principle of data minimization so that this process is not overly burdensome.

   b. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. However, GDPR requires data controllers to verify that the agent has the appropriate authority to act on behalf of the data subject. To do this, we may require one or more of the following:

   i. you or your authorized agent provide a valid power of attorney;

   ii. the agent provide proof that you gave the agent signed, written permission to submit the request;

   iii. you verify your identity with us; and/or

   iv. directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

9. Exempt Information. Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law such as information we retain for legal compliance and to secure our Services. We may need certain information in order to provide the Products or Services to you; if you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to obtain the Products or use the Services.

Non-Discrimination. You will not receive discriminatory treatment by use for the exercise of any of your privacy rights described herein

OTHER IMPORTANT LEGAL TERMS

Legal Consent, Liability, and Indemnification.

The terms in this Privacy Policy and in our Terms of Use have legal importance and may be used by us in a legal proceeding, including to restrict certain claims by you or to limit your rights.

Specifically:

Limitation of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, WILL WE OR OUR SUBSIDIARIES, PARENT COMPANIES OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM OUR USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION, EVEN IF WE ARE ADVISED BEFOREHAND OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF DAMAGES FOR WHICH WE WILL BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE THE GREATER OF THE FEES YOU PAID FOR ANY PRODUCT IN CONNECTION WITH WHICH YOU PROVIDED YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, OR $100. (BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY AND THE LIABILITY OF OUR SUBSIDIARIES, PARENT COMPANIES AND AFFILIATES, IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY SUCH LAW.)

WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION CLAIMS. This is an important section that limits your right to bring a class action against us. You and Reink Media agree that each party may bring disputes against the other party only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, including, without limitation, a federal or state class action lawsuit.

This provision applies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law to all claims that arise under, in connection with, or relate to this Privacy Policy or the Personal Information you provide to us (whether your own or any other Personal Information you provide), Personal Information that is automatically collected by us and/or obtained by us from third parties; that arose under, in connection with, or relate to any previous privacy policy in effect or that otherwise arose before these terms went into effect; or that may arise in connection with or after or otherwise relate to your Personal Information (or any other Personal Information you provide to us) after termination of any business relationship we may have with you, including cancellation or deletion of your accounts if applicable.
