the importance of protecting the privacy of
all information provided by users of our web
sites, registrants
for our events, recipients of our e-mail newsletters
and all other customers of our products and

respect for our customers' right to privacy
and to guide our relationships with our customers.
This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy
practices for all products and services owned

INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
TIC Advisors, LLC collects
information from our website users, subscribers
and other customers. In this section of our
Privacy Policy, we describe the type of
information we collect and how we use it
to provide better services to our customers.
Registration and Information Requests
When viewing our web sites or when contacting us by phone,
users are sometimes required to provide us with contact
information (such as name, e-mail address,
mailing address and phone number). For internal
purposes, we use this information to communicate
with users and provide requested services,
and, for our website visitors, to provide a
more personalized experience on our sites.
We also may collect demographic information
(such as job title and purchasing responsibilities,
company information and professional certification).
We use aggregate demographic information about
our audience to improve our service, for marketing
purposes and/or industry reporting purposes.
Interactive Features
At some of our sites, we offer site customizations
that are in response to certain browser, point of origin,
registered/unregistered or other personal features.
At no point in the collection or execution of our customizations is any personal data exposed to the outside world, nor is it sold in part or whole to any thrid party.
Communications with Us
We have features where our customers can submit information to us (such
as our feedback forms). Where such submissions
include requests for service, support
or information, we may forward them to our
agents, as needed, to best respond to the specific
request. In addition, we may retain e-mails
and other information sent to us for our
internal administrative purposes, and to help
us to serve customers better.
Communications from Us:
Service Updates, Special Offers
In order to
best serve our customers, we may send feedback form confirmations,
or email responses from our agents. For example, we send
new members a welcoming message, and verify
password and username for our password-protected
web sites. We may also communicate with a customer
to provide requested services and for account-related
issues via e-mail, phone or regular mail.
In addition to such service and product-essential
messages, we may offer our customers the option
to receive information about our company,
related products, services and special deals.
Users, however, can choose not to receive these
communications from us, as set forth in the "Permission" section below.
Automatic Data Collection
Our web sites, newsletters and, from time to time, certain other
products and services have features that automatically
collect information from customers, to deliver
content specific to customers' interests and
to honor their preferences. This information
assists us in creating products and services
that will serve the needs of our customers.
For example, we use "cookies" and session variables, pieces of data stored on the user's hard drive or our server,
containing information about the user. Cookies benefit the user by requiring
login only once, thereby saving time while on our web site. If users reject the
cookies, they may be limited in the use of some areas of our web site.

track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our
sites and via our email newsletters.
