Welcome to The Tryouts.com. The Tryouts and/or its affiliates provide The Tryouts.com to you subject to the following Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Privacy Policy
Since our inception, we have sought long-term relationships with our customers. This means that customer data privacy and security are a top priority. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we gather from your use of this service (the "Service"), how we use it, with whom we might share it, how we keep it secure, and the choices you have about the information you choose to share with us.
Types of Personal Information We Collect:
The types of personal information ("Personal Information") we collect depend on the product or service you receive from us. This information may include, but is not limited to:
Why we Collect Personal Information:
The Tryouts collects Personal Information to provide you with the Service, to perform marketing and research related activities, to supply other administrative services (e.g., setting up new accounts and maintaining your existing account), and to respond to inquiries about your account and the Service.
How we Collect Personal Information:
We collect Personal Information by voluntary submissions from through our website. We also collect Personal Information regarding how you use the Service through cookies, as described more fully below.
How we Use Your Personal Information:
The Tryouts Internal List
Everyone who submits Personal Information to The Tryouts online will receive, via e-mail, our free weekly newsletters. We provide original and exclusive content from The Tryouts and The Tryouts.com. We also distribute commentary and investment ideas from independent third parties, who produce financial news publications and who compensate The Tryouts for distributing their newsletters. From time-to-time, we will also send or contact you regarding special offers for products and services from The Tryouts and our affiliates.
You can unsubscribe from these e-mails at any time.
The Tryouts Opt-In Marketing List
During the The Tryouts.com registration process, we include the contact information you provide us on the The Tryouts opt-in marketing list. We may "rent" our opt-in marketing list to outside marketers who have special offers that may be of interest to you. Please note that we "rent" our marketing list, but we do not sell your information to third parties. The Tryouts controls the process through an agreement with an e-mail service provider, which handles the distribution of e-mails from The Tryouts and its business partners. We keep tight control over our marketing list at all times. We only give outside marketers the right to send you an e-mail through our e-mail service provider. Additionally, The Tryouts is selective about which companies we permit to send you an offer. The Tryouts will use names for Market Research. Our goal is for the e-mails to be of value to you.You can unsubscribe from these e-mails at any time.
The Tryouts Postal and Telemarketing Lists
Everyone who submits personal postal and phone number information to The Tryouts online may receive special direct mail and telemarketing offers from outside marketers that may be of interest to you. As with our other lists, we "rent" our postal and phone marketing lists and do not sell your information to third parties. The Tryouts controls the process through an agreement with a postal list service bureau and phone call centers, which handles the distribution of direct mail and telemarketing offers from The Tryouts and its business partners. Outside marketers are only given the right to send you a piece of direct mail through our bureau or call you through a telemarketing firm with our approval. All phone numbers on the The Tryouts telemarketing list are processed through the National Do Not Call Directory to remove anyone registered there. The Tryouts is selective about the companies we permit to send your offers and the offers being sent.
You can unsubscribe from these direct marketing offers at any time by emailing your request to support@thetryouts.com.
The Tryouts Premium
If you subscribe to the The Tryouts Premium subscription service, you will be included in our internal email and postal marketing lists. We collect your credit card information solely for payment of your subscription. It is shared only with our credit card processor in order to complete the transaction.
Co-Registration
In various registration processes on the The Tryouts web site, we offer you the opportunity to take free offers from third-party publishers by checking an "opt-in" box by each offer. If you check any box to receive an offer, your name, email address, and/or mailing address will be shared with the appropriate publisher.
Paid Expert Newsletters
If you decide to subscribe to any of our paid newsletters, we collect your credit card information solely for payment of your subscription, and it is shared only with our credit card processor to complete the transaction.
Do Not Email Lists
If you opt out from a The Tryouts.com Opt-In Marketing List, The Tryouts Internal List, or unsubscribe from a The Tryouts offer sent by another list vendor, you will be added to our Do Not Email list, and we will suppress your email address from future mailings to the The Tryouts Internal List and Opt-In Marketing List, as well as any other The Tryouts mailings done through a third party. This process usually completes within 72 hours but can take up to 10 days in rare situations. However, if you later register for a The Tryouts product again, your name will be removed from the Do Not Email list.
Please note that while The Tryouts will not freely distribute the information you submit, if you click to unsubscribe from mailings sent to the The Tryouts.com Opt-In Marketing List from a particular marketer, we are obligated to share your email address with that marketer for the purpose of being added to their Do Not Mail list. How that mailer manages your email address after that time is beyond The Tryouts.com control.
