TSPL Privacy Policy

TSPL takes your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy


What This Privacy Policy Covers

  • This policy covers how TSPL treats personal information that TSPL collects and receives, including information related to your past use of TSPL products and services. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available.
  • This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that TSPL does not own or control or to people that TSPL does not employ or manage.

Information Collection and Use

General

  • TSPL collects personal information when you register with TSPL, when you use TSPL products or services, when you visit TSPL pages or the pages of certain TSPL partners, and when you enter promotions or sweepstakes. TSPL may combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from business partners or other companies.
  • When you register we ask for information such as your name, email address, birth date, gender, ZIP code, occupation, industry, and personal interests. For some financial products and services we might also ask for your address, Social Security number, and information about your assets. When you register with TSPL and sign in to our services, you are not anonymous to us.
  • TSPL collects information about your transactions with us and with some of our business partners, including information about your use of financial products and services that we offer.
  • TSPL automatically receives and records information from your computer and browser, including your IP address, TSPL cookie information, software and hardware attributes, and the page you request.
  • TSPL uses information for the following general purposes: to customize the advertising and content you see, fulfill your requests for products and services, improve our services, contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients.

Children

  • When a child under age 18 attempts to register with TSPL, we ask the child to have a parent or guardian to create a TSPL Family Account to obtain parental permission.
  • TSPL does not contact children under age 18 about special offers or for marketing purposes without a parent's permission.
  • TSPL does not ask a child under age 18 for more personal information, as a condition of participation, than is reasonably necessary to participate in a given activity or promotion.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

  • TSPL does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
    • We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with TSPL under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help TSPL communicate with you about offers from TSPL and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
    • We have a parent's permission to share the information if the user is a child under age 18. Parents have the option of allowing TSPL to collect and use their child's information without consenting to TSPL sharing of this information with people and companies who may use this information for their own purposes.
    • We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
    • We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of TSPL's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
    • We transfer information about you if TSPL is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, TSPL will notify you before information about you are transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
  • TSPL displays targeted advertisements based on personal information. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the targeting criteria—for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.
    • TSPL does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted advertisement. However, by interacting with or viewing an advertisement you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the advertisement.
    • TSPL advertisers include financial service providers (such as banks, insurance agents, stock brokers and mortgage lenders) and non-financial companies (such as stores, airlines, and software companies).
  • TSPL works with vendors, partners, advertisers, and other service providers in different industries and categories of business.

Cookies

  • TSPL may set and access TSPL cookies on your computer.
  • TSPL lets other companies that show advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to TSPL's cookies.
  • TSPL uses web beacons to access TSPL cookies inside and outside our network of web sites and in connection with TSPL products and services.

Your Ability to Edit and Delete Your Account Information and Preferences

General

  • You can edit your TSPL Account Information, including your marketing preferences, at any time.
  • New categories of marketing communications might be added to the Marketing Preferences page from time to time. Users who visit this page can opt out of receiving future marketing communications from these new categories or they can unsubscribe by following instructions contained in the messages they receive.
  • We reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to the TSPL service, such as service announcements, administrative messages and the TSPL Newsletter, that are considered part of your TSPL account, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them.
  • You can delete your TSPL account by visiting our Account Deletion page.

  • Manipulating identifiers, such as email headers, to disguise the origin of any content transmitted to or through TSPL computer systems.
  • Relaying email from a third party's mail servers without the permission of that third party.
  • Using or causing to be used TSPL computer systems to facilitate the transmission of unsolicited or unauthorized material. This includes any promotional materials, URLs, "junk mail," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," or any other form of unauthorized solicitation that you may upload, post, email, transmit, or otherwise make available.
  • Using "robots" or otherwise harvesting other's email addresses from the TSPL site for purposes of sending unsolicited or unauthorized material.
  • Uploading, posting, emailing, or transmitting the same message, URL, or post multiple times.
  • Disrupting the normal flow of dialogue, or causing the screen to "scroll" faster than other users of the service are able to type, or otherwise acting in a manner that negatively affects other users' ability to engage in real-time exchanges.

Certain TSPL services may have additional spam guidelines explaining appropriate conduct for those services. Those additional policies are incorporated by reference into the TSPL Universal Spam Policy. It is the user's responsibility to check each property's guidelines for additional details regarding spam.

Violations of our Terms of Service or this Universal Spam Policy may result in legal action against you and the termination, without notice, of your TSPL ID and/or anything associated with it, including, but not limited to, email accounts, clubs, posts, home pages, and profiles. Nothing in this policy is intended to grant any right to transmit email to or through TSPL computer systems. TSPL does not waive any rights by the failure to enforce this policy in every instance in which it might apply.

NOTICE: Sending unsolicited email advertisements to or through TSPL computer systems will use or cause to be used TSPL servers located in Republic of India. Any unauthorized use of TSPL computer systems is a violation of the TSPL Terms of Service, Universal Spam Policy, and certain federal and state laws including Indian Penal code. Such violations may subject the sender and his or her agents to civil and criminal penalties.

Such messages may not be received if you violate this TOS by accessing the Service in an unauthorized manner.
