Because of the importance of these issues, all TheCommodityChannel.com employees are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of customer information. We take appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce employee privacy responsibilities.
  5. Security Procedures to Protect Information.
    We maintain security standards and procedures to help prevent unauthorized access to confidential information about you.

We do not provide account or personal information of non-TheCommodityChannel.com companies for the purpose of independent telemarketing or direct mail marketing of any non-financial products or services of those companies.
  7. Maintaining Your Privacy in Business Relationships with Parties Outside Our Subsidiaries, Affiliates or Agents.
    Sometimes it is necessary to provide personally identifiable information about you to a party outside our subsidiaries, affiliates or agents, such as a vendor or service company that we hire to prepare your account statements or to provide support or services for one or more of our products. These vendors and service companies agree to safeguard our confidential information about you and your products and services with us and must abide by applicable law.
  8. Disclosing Our Privacy Commitment to You.
