Your privacy is extremely important. Please read the information below.


This privacy policy explains when and how information may be collected from users of the Financial Sprockets blog.

Collection and Use of Information

  • The Financial Sprockets blog collects visitor information in several ways including but not limited to, cookies and sessions, and email addresses entered during registration for a service, product, or information. During registration, you may be asked for some identifying information such as your name, email address, physical address, etc. You may also be asked for personal information when you report a problem with this blog and/or with related services, or if you otherwise contact the Financial Sprockets publisher.
  • Financial Sprockets offers no physical products or services of its own for sale. Therefore, you should never be asked for credit card or billing information on any web page authored by the Financial Sprockets blog publisher.
  • Financial Sprockets maintains select affiliate relationships with other websites. These websites maintain their own Privacy Policies and are not subject to the Financial Sprockets blog Privacy Policy. Therefore, it is recommended you read the Privacy Policy for each website with which the Financial Sprockets blog maintains an affiliate relationship.
  • You may be asked for your credit card and/or billing information on an affiliate website. Before entering this information read the affiliate website's Privacy Policy and be sure your information will be entered on a secure web page and, once received by the affiliate website owner, will be protected from improper use. Financial Sprockets cannot be held legally accountable in matters involving the enforcement of an affiliate website's Privacy Policy, nor in disputes arising from your use of an affiliate website, its products and/or services.
  • The Financial Sprockets publisher will receive an affiliate commission from purchases you make at an affiliate website you have directly linked to from within the Financial Sprockets blog.
  • As previously stated your use of the Financial Sprockets blog may result in identifying information about your web session being collected using cookies, which is information stored on a user's computer by a Web Browser at the request of software at a Web site. Web sites use cookies to recognize users who have previously visited them. The next time the user accesses that site, the information in the cookie is sent back to the user so the information displayed can vary depending on the user’s preferences. Essentially, they are small pieces of data stored by your browser and/or your computer's hard drive. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies unless specifically edited by the user in their web browser's settings. You should assume affiliate websites directly linked to by the Financial Sprockets blog require cookies.

  • Depending on each affiliate website's policy, a cookie identifying your having visited a given affiliate site via direct link from the Financial Sprockets blog will be saved on your computer for a time. This cookie provides a means by which an affiliate website can credit the Financial Sprockets blog with an affiliate commission for any purchase you make during some predefined time following your initial visit of the affiliate website via direct link from the Financial Sprockets blog. Of course, it is very much appreciated you allow your computer to save the cookie identifying your visit to an affiliate website via direct link from the Financial Sprockets blog, so an affiliate commission might be earned by the Financial Sprocket blog publisher on qualifying purchases you make. If you wish the Financial Sprockets publisher not receive an affiliate commission on a purchase you make on an affiliate website, then simply clear your computer's cookie cache before making any purchase on an affiliate website.

  • All identifying information associated with you (email addresses, ip addresses, etc.) are your property and the Financial Sprockets blog publisher has no authorization to use them in any way except as instructed by you.
  • Due to the actions of a given blog reader, it is possible that other blog readers may have duplicate personal information. At no time is information about such common or duplicate information shared with other blog users.
