about our privacy policy.
NOTICE: for important information about

What This Privacy Policy Covers
• This policy covers how Alchemy treats personal information that
Alchemy collects and receives, including information related to your
past use of Alchemy 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
Alchemy does not own or control, or to people that Alchemy does not
employ or manage.
Information Collection and Use
General
• Alchemy collects personal information when you register with
Alchemy, when you use Alchemy products or services, when you visit Alchemy
pages or the pages of certain Alchemy partners, and when you enter promotions
or sweepstakes. Alchemy 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 may
also ask for your address, Social Security number, and information about
your assets. Once you register with Alchemy and sign in to our services,
you are not anonymous to us.
• Alchemy 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.
• Alchemy automatically receives and records information on our
server logs from your browser, including your IP address, Alchemy cookie
information, and the page you request.
• Alchemy 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 13 attempts to register with Alchemy,
we ask that he or she have a parent or guardian create an Alchemy Family
Account to obtain parental permission.
• Alchemy will not contact children under age 13 about special
offers or for marketing purposes without a parent's permission.
• Alchemy does not ask a child under age 13 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
• Alchemy does not rent, sell, or share personal information about
you with other people or nonaffiliated 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 Alchemy under confidentiality agreements. These companies
may use your personal information to help Alchemy communicate with you
about offers from Alchemy 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 13. Parents have the option of allowing Alchemy
to collect and use their child's information without consenting to Alchemy
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 Alchemy's terms of use, or as otherwise
required by law.
• We transfer information about you if Alchemy is acquired by
or merged with another company. In this event, Alchemy will notify you
before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a
different privacy policy.
• Alchemy displays targeted advertisements based on personal information.
Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people
who interact with, view, or click on targeted ads meet the targeting
criteria - for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic
area.
• Alchemy does not provide any personal information to the advertiser
when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting
with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the
advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria
used to display the ad.
• Alchemy 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).
Cookies
• Alchemy may set and access Alchemy cookies on your computer.
• Alchemy 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 Alchemy's
cookies.
• Alchemy uses web beacons to access Alchemy cookies inside and
outside our network of web sites and in connection with Alchemy products
and services.
