This information may be captured and stored in our log files. Occasionally, if your browser is not configured to prevent disclosure of such information, the following information may also be revealed: your name, e-mail address, home and work addresses, telephone and fax numbers and any plain text commentary. Additionally, the complete record of your actions at the Site, including all pages visited, time spent at each page, the information sent or received and the names of all files uploaded or downloaded is collected. This tracking information may be compiled by us in the aggregate and made available to third parties primarily to identify demographic data regarding our members.
We will also collect personal information from you when you provide your personal information to us, such as by setting up a user account and password at the time you register to become a member of MarketTiger, logging in as a registered member of the Site, providing information in your account(s), communicating and transacting business with other MarketTiger members, communicating with us by telephone, e-mail, or otherwise or if you complete an entry form to participate in an online or member survey. As a result of these actions, you might supply us with personal information, such as your name, date of birth, e-mail and postal addresses, telephone number(s), credit card information, bank account information, business information, product interest information and financial information and your experiences, opinions and individual preferences on various MarketTiger members.

If a parent or guardian discovers that his or her child has provided us with personally identifiable information, such parent or guardian has the right, upon request, to view the information provided by the child and/or to require that it be deleted from our records. In such a case we ask that the parent or guardian of the child contact us at support@markettiger.com for such purpose.
MarketTiger recognizes that in some countries, youth members of a family business may represent their family business and act on its behalf in online environments. In accordance with local laws, MarketTiger may accept a youth ages 15-18 to register as the representative for a family business. In such cases, expressed written consent from the parent or guardian who is head of the family business is required. Members should provide such written consent to MarketTiger, by mailing a hard copy letter duly certified or notarized by a local official, to our "Corporate Address" at:
