To assist you in using our website, edgetradinggroup.com, and any other websites we may launch from time to time (collectively, the “Websites”), and to ensure a clear understanding of the relationship arising from your use of any of the Websites, we have created a set of Website Terms and Conditions and a Privacy Policy. Our Website Terms and Conditions govern your use of our Websites generally and the relationship between you and us. Our Privacy Policy explains how we protect information you provide to us through the Websites. Please read on to learn more.
Your use of any of the Websites constitutes your agreement to be bound by and comply with the Website Terms and Conditions and your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information as described in the Privacy Policy. If you do not so agree and consent, you are not authorized to visit or use our Websites or the Services.
1.0 SCOPE OF POLICY.
This Privacy Policy applies only to information you provide to us online or that we collect from you while visiting or using our Websites or Services. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Edge Trading Group does not own or control or operators of third party websites that you may access from the Websites or from which you may access the Websites.
2.0 WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND USE.
a) We receive and store information that you voluntarily provide when using the Websites and the Services. For example, when you subscribe to our Services, we require you to provide personal information including your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, and other basic contact information. You may also provide additional personal information to us when you voluntarily communicate with us, such as when you request information, register for email updates or listen to a webinar, submit application for employment, or when you post information to the user content portion of the Websites.
b) In addition to the information you voluntarily provide to us, we automatically record information from your Internet browser, including your IP address (the Internet address of your PC), the type and version of your web browser, the Internet addresses of the sites from which you access the Websites (referring addresses) and other generally accepted log information. We may also record aggregated website utilization information to understand how our Websites are being used.
c) Cookies. We use common website management technologies called cookies. A cookie is a small data file, which often includes a unique but non identifying code that is sent to your browser from a website’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies can be used to provide you with a tailored user experience and to make it easier for you to use the Websites upon a future visit. Edge Trading Group will also use cookies to recognize you when you return to our Websites. Our cookies are “persistent,” or permanent, cookies, since they remain on your computer after you end your visit, or “session,” on our Websites. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default, though you can manually disable the cookies feature of your browser. You should review the online documentation of your browser or consult with the provider of your browser for instructions on how to disable cookies. If you disable cookies on your computer, some parts of our Websites may not be available to you or may not function as intended.
d) Referring Sites. Websites that contain links to our Websites are known as “referring sites.” When you enter our Websites from a referring site, we automatically collect information that identifies the referring site and use this information to analyze which third party services send visitors to our Websites and may present appropriate content to our potential customers. Edge Trading Group tabulates referrer information on an aggregate basis to identify Websites trends and traffic patterns.
e) Remarketing. We use various services, including Google Analytics and Adwords for site monitoring and advertising, including display advertising via remarketing. You can opt out of Google Analytics Display Advertising by visiting https://www.google.com/settings/u/0/ads or https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. Some 3rd party sites, including Google may show our ads across the internet. We and third party vendors, including Google, use first party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your past visits to our website.
