Your privacy is important to us and we are strongly committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy applies to information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit our web sites www.valueline.com and www.valuelinepro.com (collectively, the “Web sites”), or when you interact with our advertising and applications on third-party web sites and services, if those advertising or applications include links to this policy. This policy also applies to information we collect offline when you subscribe to the print editions of Value Line publications.

If you are using our portfolio-tracking feature, news services or any other feature, we collect and store whatever information you voluntarily provide. We recognize that any information you input into the portfolio-tracking feature is of special concern to you. We keep this information confidential and will not disclose it to unaffiliated parties.
We may also collect information relating to your use of our Web sites through the use of various technologies. Please see Tracking Technologies section below for more details.

We may use your personal information to contact you about goods and services that may be of interest to you via various means including e-mail. You may at any time choose not to receive marketing materials from us by following the unsubscribe instructions included in each e-mail you may receive, or by contacting us at unsubscribe@valueline.com. Please note that if you exercise choice in this manner, you will continue to receive communications concerning your account and products and services you requested, and in response to any requests by you. Please also note that this opt-out process may take some time to complete, consistent with applicable law.
We may also use or disclose your personal information as required by law, or when we believe that such use or disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, or the rights of others, or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on us.
How We Share the Information We Collect:
We may share your personal information with our affiliates and service providers who we use to support our services and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them. We may share with other third parties aggregated information about our users that does not identify any individual. We may also share your personal information with a sponsor or other third party ("Third-Party Provider") that provides you with special offers or promotions that may be of interest to you. You may instruct us at any time not to share your personal information with such Third-Party Providers by emailing us at unsubscribe@valueline.com. Please note that this opt-out process may take some time to complete, consistent with applicable law. Furthermore, we may share your personal information potentially in conjunction with a sale or similar transfer of a business.
Data Security:
We take many precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorized third party access, alteration, theft, or misuse. For example, we use standard online security measures such as encryption and authentication to protect your credit card data. We also require that our suppliers protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
Tracking Technologies:
We and third party advertisers may place or read cookies on your computer or use other electronic tools, such as web beacons, to collect technical information that is not personally identifiable. Examples of this type of information include information about your computer and internet connection, such as your operating system and browser type, and details of your visits to our Web Sites, including traffic data, location data, logs and other communication data and the resources that you access and use on the Web Sites. The information helps us analyze web traffic, determine targeted advertisements, facilitate automated activity, store and track passwords, and determine appropriate solicitations. We do not collect personal information automatically, but we may tie this information to personal information about you that we collect from other sources or you provide to us.
You may delete or disable cookies to prevent us from collecting the above information. Cookies are files that contain information created by a web server that can be stored on your hard disk for future use. Your web browser will allow you to disable cookies, but you will not be able to successfully log on to and participate in many features of our Web Sites if you do so. Therefore, you will always remain in guest status if cookies are disabled.
We may use web beacons, provided by third-party advertising companies, to help manage and optimize our online advertising and product performance. Web beacons enable us to recognize a browser’s cookie when a browser visits the Web sites, and to learn which banner ads bring users to the Web sites. The use and collection of your information by these third-party service providers, and third-party advertisers and their advertising servers is not covered by this Privacy Policy. To learn more about these practices, cookies, and how to "opt-out" of a third party vendor's use of cookies, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. Opting out of a network does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising. It does mean that the network from which you opted out will no longer deliver ads tailored to your web preferences and usage patterns.
Links To Third-Party Websites:
The Web Sites contain links to other web sites. We have no control over and are not responsible for the privacy policies of such sites. Whenever you link to another web site, you may be asked to provide registration or other information. Please note that any information that you provide is going to a third party, and therefore you should familiarize yourself with that party's privacy policy.
How You Can Access or Correct Your Information:
You may send us an e-mail at infoprivacy@valueline.com to request access to, correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement, cause the information to be incorrect, require disproportionate technical effort, or jeopardize the privacy of others.
Children:
Value Line does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from users under the age of 13. Children under 13 should not send any information about themselves to Value Line. If a child under 13 submits information through any part of the Web sites, and Value Line becomes aware that the person submitting the information is a child, we will attempt to delete this information as soon as possible.
