Security

We use reasonable efforts designed to maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality and integrity of Your Information. However, no security system is foolproof and we cannot fully eliminate security risks with respect to Your Information. We recommend that you do not send us any of Your Information via non-secure methods of correspondence, including via public electronic communication channels, such as Internet e-mail, which are generally not secure.

Other Sites or Services

The Sites may contain links to other websites or may allow you to use or access third party services (such as to receive alerts from NASDAQ). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any other websites or other service providers. Information you submit to those websites and service providers is subject to the privacy policies of those other websites and service providers, not this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these other websites and service providers before you submit any information to them.

Do Not Track

Because there is not yet a consensus on how companies should respond to browser-based do-not-track settings, the Sites do not currently respond to any browser-based do-not-track settings. However, we do not track you across unaffiliated third party websites to provide targeted advertising or for other purposes.

Your Choices

You may opt out of receiving promotional emails from us by updating your preferences in your account settings or by following instructions provided in the emails. Even if you request to opt out of receiving promotional emails from us, we may use your contact information to send you other types of emails.

For email updates from NASDAQ, you may opt out of receiving these email updates by following instructions provided in the emails or by updating your preferences on the page where you signed up for the email updates, which sends your request directly to NASDAQ. Because NASDAQ, and not Silver Star Properties, is responsible for sending these emails, you must contact NASDAQ to opt out of receiving these emails.

Updating or Deleting Your Information

You generally may update Your Information that is in your account with us by following the procedures described on those portions of the Sites where you may log in to the account. In some cases, however, you may need to contact us by phone to update Your Information.

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill your request in a timely manner. We may keep a record of all information that is deleted, and we may determine what may be deleted. For example, if we are required to keep certain information for regulatory purposes, we may be prevented from deleting that information.
