Shookbook.com Privacy Policy
July 1, 2008
Internet privacy is an issue that we take seriously, and
Shookbook is committed to protecting your privacy. We believe
it is important for you to know what information is being
collected about you, how that information is being used, with
whom it is being shared, and how to contact us if you have
additional questions or concerns.
What information does Shookbook gather?
Personally identifiable information ("PII") is information
you provide that lets us know specific facts about you to
help us compete orders for products and services you have
requested and with our financial advisor evaluations and rankings
to the extent you wish to participate in such programs. This
information can include your name, address, zip code, age,
credit card information, and other relevant information.
Upon request via postal mail, e-mail, facsimile, or telephone
at the address or phone or fax number set forth below, you
may request that we modify, correct, change, or update PII

By participating in our services and using our website, you
consent to the collection and use of PII as described in this
privacy policy. If we change this policy, we will so indicate
on our website and your continued use of this site will be
deemed acceptance of those changes.
Gathering and Use of Personally Identifiable Information
We collect PII that you provide to us when you order products
or services from us or you agree to participate in our evaluations
and rankings. PII that you provide in connection with products
and services you have ordered is used to process your orders
and, from time to time, to inform you of issues related to
this site and our company, and other products and services
we and our affiliates may offer. Otherwise, we may use your
information in an aggregated, non-identifiable form.
In addition, we will collect and use PII for our evaluations
and rankings if you wish to participate in such programs.
Certain portions of your PII (such as your name, contact information
such as location or address and telephone number, firm name,
assets, business type, client types, typical account sizes,
products and services offered, community involvement and more),
may be made available to third parties who have ordered or
otherwise have access to our evaluations and rankings, such
as publications that publish our rankings, and you expressly
consent to such disclosure of your PII.
We will not willfully sell, trade, rent, disclose, or make
available PII about you to any third party without your prior
consent, except (i) as expressly provided for in this privacy
policy, (ii) when we believe in good faith that the law requires
it, or (iii) to a successor to our entire business or a relevant
portion of our business.
Use of "Cookies"
The Shookbook website uses cookies to monitor traffic flow,
patterns of travel within and through the sites, and to dynamically
generate advertising and content. Cookies are a standard Internet
technology that allows us to both store and retrieve login
information on a user's system. Our web server automatically
asks a new user whether his or her browser will agree to accept
a Shookbook cookie file. If a visitor accepts, our web server
will identify the user's cookie for Shookbook's use in internal
reporting. If a user accepts a Shookbook cookie, but would
later like to remove it from his or her computer for privacy
purposes or other lawful purpose, he or she can just remove
it from the browser. Without cookies, all of the website's
functions may not work as intended. Cookies designed to limit
access to our site beyond the scope your authorized access
cannot be deleted for that purpose.
Security Measures
We utilize industry standard security measures designed to
protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information
under our control. Such security measures may include the
use of firewall protection and encryption technology where
appropriate. Although we take reasonable precautions to assess
the reliability of such security technology, we rely on the
statements of the third party vendors that supply such technology.
Please note that while we have endeavored to create a secure
and reliable website for users, the confidentiality of any
communication or material transmitted to/from the website
cannot be guaranteed.
Export of Personally Identifiable Information
By using the website, you acknowledge and consent to the
fact that the PII you provide through your use of the website
is stored and processed by us in the United States where data
protection laws may not afford the same level of protection
as those of the country in which you are located (this is
the case for users located in the European Economic Area ("EEA")).
You also acknowledge and consent to the fact that we may,
at our discretion, store and process such data in other countries
(including countries outside the EEA) where data protection
laws may not afford the same level of protection as those
of the country in which you are located.
Children's Privacy Protection
Shookbook understands the importance of protecting children's
privacy in the interactive online world. The website is not
designed for, or intentionally targeted at, children 13 years
of age or younger. It is not our policy to intentionally collect
or maintain information about anyone under the age of 13.
