Your privacy is important to us. That is why we want you to be informed about how we protect the privacy of visitors to our site. Please take a moment to read the following policy, which describes our practices for the collection and use of personally identifiable information on this site. Sites that are linked to our site, or from which you linked to arrive at this site, may have different policies; please review the privacy policy notices on those sites for details.

We do not collect personally identifiable information about you on this site except as noted in this policy, and all such information is collected directly from you. For example, we may ask you to provide your e-mail address, name, mailing address, phone number or other information about yourself in order to be added to the list to receive e-mail updates or to conduct transactions elsewhere on the site. You are not required to provide us with this information, but if you choose not to, you may not be able to participate in some of the activities on this site.

We use the information we collect from you to allow you to participate in the site activities for which the information is collected. For example, when you give us your e-mail address in order to receive the free daily trendcentral® newsletter, that address is added to the e-mail list for the newsletter. On each e-mail you receive, you are given the opportunity to unsubscribe; once you unsubscribe, you will no longer receive such e-mails.

We do not share personal information collected on this site with anyone outside trendcentral®, The Intelligence Group and CAA, although information regarding trends, personal habits and preferences which is provided by individuals is aggregated and made available on the site and to clients without attribution to any individual and only for the purpose for which it was originally collected, or to which individuals subsequently consent (e.g., research and information regarding trends, lifestyle and culture). By using an internet site operated or maintained by trendcentral®, The Intelligence Group or CAA or providing personal information to us, you are consenting to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this policy. If you do not so consent, do not use the sites or their related forms.

Personal information collected on this site may be shared with those with whom we contract to operate this site. These contractors have agreed with us to use personal information of site visitors only for the purposes of carrying out these operations. To the extent required or permitted by law, we may also collect, use and disclose personal information in connection with security-related or law enforcement investigations or in the course of cooperating with authorities or complying with legal requirements. We may also use your information as permitted by law to protect our rights or property, our website, or its users. Information collected on the site may also be used in connection with the sale, purchase, merger, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution of trendcentral®, The Intelligence Group, CAA or any of their business units, or in similar circumstances.

Some information may automatically be collected as you browse our site. Our web server automatically collects information known as "clickstream data," such as the domain name of the service providing you with Internet access, the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your browser type and version, operating system and platform, the average time spent on our site, pages viewed, information searched for, access times and other relevant statistics. We also use cookies on our site. Cookies are pieces of information that a web site transfers to the hard drive of a visitor's computer for record-keeping purposes.

We use clickstream data and cookies only in the aggregate to measure the use of our site and to administer and improve our site. When we collect personal information, we may extract some of the information and combine it with other information, such as clickstream data. This combined information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns.

This site is not intended for use by persons under the age of 13. trendcentral®, The Intelligence Group and CAA do not knowingly solicit or collect information from or about children on their internet sites, except as permitted by law. If your child has submitted personal information and you would like to request that such information be deleted, you may do so by clicking here, by email (info@trendcentral.com) or by calling (212)277-9090. Further, in accordance with law, when a visitor files a complaint online and indicates an age under 13, no personally identifying information will be collected in conjunction with that submission.

If you choose to sign up for a trendcentral® newsletter, you may elect to sign up for third party mailings or announcements. Whether you choose to receive these mailings or announcements is your choice. If you choose to receive them from a specific source, you will receive commercial messages from independent third parties over whom we have no control and who each have their own privacy policies which you should review. You may typically remove your email address from these third party lists by following the instructions on emails that you receive. You may unsubscribe from the trendcentral® newsletter at any time by clicking here or by email (info@trendcentral.com) or by calling (212)277-9090.

We try to keep the information we collect from you as current as possible, and we take steps to maintain the security of your personal information and to prevent unauthorized access to it by those who do not have a legitimate need for it. To that end, we periodically review our security measures. We will never post your e-mail address or other identifying information you have provided on our site without your consent.

The operator of this site is The Intelligence Group.
