Privacy Policy
Last updated: Jan 1, 2021
Nothing in this Privacy Statement may be construed to create any obligation for the Company beyond what is required by applicable law.
1. This Privacy Statement (“Privacy Statement” or “Statement”) describes the practices of ThomasKralow LLC (“Best Investing Tips,” “Company,” “we” or “us”) with respect to information, including Personally Identifiable Information (“PII” or Personal Data) (which means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person), and non-personally identifiable information (“non-PII”), we obtain from and about individuals interacting with us and our websites, mobile applications, products and services (collectively, our “Services”). This Statement does not apply to job applicants or Company employees.
2. Changes to this Statement. We may change this Statement at any time by posting revisions to the Statement on our Services, including, without limitation, this site. Therefore, you should review the Statement from time to time. If you do not accept all of the terms, conditions, and notices set forth in the Privacy Statement, you must discontinue using the Services, which includes exiting this site immediately. The most current version of the Statement may be reviewed by clicking on the "Privacy Policy” link located at the bottom of our site.
3. Collection of Information from Children. We do not intentionally collect information from or regarding minors. The Services are not directed to or intended for use by children under the age of 18. Children may not use or submit any information through the Services or its sites. If you are under the age of 18, you may not use our Services or Services. If a child under 18 submits information through any part of the Services, and we become aware that the person submitting the information is a child, we will attempt to delete this information as soon as possible.
4. Information We Collect. We may collect two general types of information when you use our Services or interact with us:
5. Certain features available within the Services will require you to submit PII about yourself as a condition of participation. Some of the features may be offered by us, while others may be offered by third parties. (For example, you may be required to submit PII in order to request information and offers from us and our partners.) When you choose to submit PII to a third party in connection with your use of the Services, the third party’s privacy policy, rather than this Statement, will control the use of your PII. YOU CAN ALWAYS REFUSE TO PROVIDE PII TO US, BUT THIS MAY RESULT IN DECREASED FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SERVICES FOR YOU AND LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE INFORMATION ABOUT SERVICES THAT MAY BE OF PARTICULAR INTEREST TO YOU.
6. How Information is Collected. We collect information, both actively and passively. For example, we will collect information about you that you voluntarily provide while using our Services. In addition to the information provided directly by you, we (and third parties that offer features through the Services) may collect non-PII through the use of "cookies," "web beacons," "Flash cookies" or by other electronic means.
7. Cookies. In general, a cookie is a small amount of data sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive, where it can be used to identify your computer. Cookies can be used to measure website usage, improve navigation around websites, and personalize a returning visitor’s experience on the websites. In most cases, you can set your browser to turn off cookies or to notify you before you receive one so that you can decide whether to accept it or not. Because cookies allow you to take advantage ofsome of the features of the Services, we recommend that you leave them turned on. If you block or reject our cookies, some of the features of the Services may not work for you. You can refer to the instructions for your browser to learn more about these functions.
8. Web Beacons. We, our third-party service providers, advertisers, and partners, also may use "web beacons" or similar technologies. Web beacons are small strings of code placed on a web page to collect data about how visitors use the Services. For example, web beacons may be used to count the number of users who visit the Services or to deliver a cookie to the browser of a visitor to the Services. If you set your browser to turn off cookies, web beacons and similar technologies will detect your visits to the Services, but they will not associate your activity on the Services with information that otherwise would be stored in cookies. We do not control tracking technologies used by third parties with the Service.
9. Flash Cookies. The Services uses locally stored objects, also called “Flash cookies,” when it uses Adobe Flash Player (“Flash”) to provide special content such as video streaming, video on demand, video clips or animation. Flash, and similar applications, use Flash cookies to remember visitors' Services settings, preferences, and usages. Flash cookies are managed directly through Adobe's websites, rather than through your web browser.
10. Third-Party Advertising and Third-Party Websites. These websites allow advertising by third parties that provide links to third-party websites. Internet advertising companies and the third-party websites on whose behalf they advertise (collectively "Third Parties") may use the technology described above to send (or "serve") directly to your browser the advertisements that appear on our Services. When this happens, Third Parties automatically receive non-PII, such as information from your computer and browser, including your cookie information. They also may use cookies, Javascript, Pixel Tags and other technologies to deliver advertisements; collect information about the effectiveness of their advertisements; collect anonymous information about your visits to the Services, such as the number of times you have viewed an ad; or customize the advertising content you see. Third Parties will not collect your name, address, or other PII, unless you affirmatively provide it to them. We let Third Parties set and access their cookies on your computer. Third Parties' use of their own cookies is subject to their own privacy policies. For more information about these specialized cookies and other technologies, and to learn more about behavioral advertising or to opt-out of this type of advertising for some companies, you can visit https://www.networkadvertising.org or https://networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp. You may review the instructions and/or the privacy settings for your operating system to find out how to opt-out of tailored in-application advertisements.
11. Third-Party Links. Please note that our Services, including this site, contains links to other websites that do not follow this Privacy Statement. For instance, clicking on an advertisement, links, or other elements on the Services may take you to an entirely different websites. Links to other websites may use our Services logo or style as a result of a co-branding agreement. These websites may send their own cookies to you and may collect data and make use of that data in ways that these Services would not. After you leave our Services, this Privacy Statement will no longer apply to PII or any other data collected from or provided by you. You should check the other websites' applicable privacy policy to determine how it will handle such data.
12. How Information is Used and Shared. We use your PII for the purpose of conducting our business and pursuing our legitimate interests. For example, we use your PII to: Facilitate communication from third parties to you at your request;
13. Advertisements, Marketing Material, and Other Offers. Unless you tell us that you do not want to receive these offers and subject to applicable law, the Company or those companies that we have a commercial relationship with, may occasionally send advertisements, marketing material or other offers that we think might be of interest to you. If you do not want to receive these advertisements, marketing material, or other offers, please contact us using the contact information found at the end of this Privacy Statement. Where required by law, we will seek your consent prior to sending you any marketing materials. To the extent allowed by law, the provision of your e-mail and phone number to us constitutes your prior express written consent, and electronic signature, authorizing us to contact you at that e-mail address and phone number,including through the possible use of an automatic telephone dialing system or artificial or prerecorded voice, live calls and text messages, for both promotional and informational reasons. You agree that this consent may be assigned by us to third parties and affiliates. You are not required to provide such consent in order to make a purchase as you can always contact us directly to arrange an alternate purchase method. By providing your telephone number to us, you certify that this is your own number that you own, and not a line owned or used by another and that you will immediately notify us if your number changes or is reassigned. You agree to indemnify us if this is not the case and if the future owner or user of the number makes a claim against us for contact at that number. You may opt-out of such contact at any time and through any of the reasonable methods outlined herein.
14. In the event that Company is considering a sale of its business, in its entirety or a component thereof, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, or a portion thereof, PII and non-PII, may be one of the transferred assets, and may, therefore, be used by a third-party acquirer in accordance with this Privacy Statement. Such use by a third party may include a review of PII, using such PII to contact you either before or after such a transfer or sale, use or transfer of non-PII before or after such a transfer or sale, or for other purposes.
15. WE MAY DISCLOSE PII ABOUT YOU TO A THIRD PARTY FOR COMPENSATION.
16. In addition, we may share your information as described below:
17. Forums. The Services may include forums (such as message boards, chat rooms, comment boards, and reviews) that enable users to post a comment or communicate with each other. We are under no obligation to moderate or edit the forums and will not be responsible for the content or use of any material posted on any forum within the Services. We retain the right to delete at any time and for any reason any material posted within the Services.
18. Information Security. We take information security seriously, and we use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the PII we collect from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. But we have no control over the security of other websites on the Internet that you might visit. If you share your computer or use a computer that is accessed by the general public, remember to sign off and close your browser window when you have finished your session. This will help to ensure that others cannot access your PII.
19. Additionally, and as you are likely aware, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take
commercially reasonable steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect that your PII, searches, or other communications always will remain secure. In the event of a breach of the confidentiality or security of your PII, we will notify you if reasonably possible and as reasonably necessary so that you can take appropriate protective steps. We may notify you under such circumstances using the e-mail address(es) we have on record for you. You should also take care with how you handle and disclose your PII. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission’s Websites at https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/ for information about how to protect against identity theft.
20. Your Rights. Under the law of some countries, you may have certain rights with respect to your PII. These rights
include the right to (i) request access to and rectification or erasure of your PII; (ii) obtain restriction of processing or object to the processing of your PII; and (iii) ask for a copy of your PII to be provided to you or a third party in a machine-readable format. If you wish to exercise one of the above-mentioned rights, please send us your request to the contact details set out below. If you have unresolved concerns, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint about the processing of your PII with your local data protection authority in the European Union or elsewhere.
21. California Privacy Rights. Under California law, California residents may request once a year, free of charge, certain information regarding our
disclosure of PII to third parties for direct marketing purposes. Specifically, we will provide a list of the categories of PII disclosed to third parties for third-party direct marketing purposes, along with the names and addresses of these third parties. To make such a request, please contact us using the contact information at the bottom of this Privacy Statement. We reserve our right not to respond to requests submitted other than to the contact points listed below. You should put “California Privacy Rights” in the subject line andin your request. We may need to verify your identity before providing information to you.
22. California Do Not Track Disclosure. Certain web browsers may allow you to enable a "do not track" option that sends signals to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not want your online activities tracked. This is different than blocking cookies as browsers with the "do not track" option selected may still accept cookies. Our Services currently do not have the functionality to recognize or honor "do not track" browser signaling. We do not respond to "do not track" signals. If we do so in the future, we will modify this Privacy Statement accordingly.

It is possible that you may be denied access to your PII, or may not be able to delete all your PII. For instance, access can be denied when: giving one person access would compromise another's privacy rights; disclosure is likely to interfere with the safeguarding of national security, defense, or public security, and disclosure could interfere with law enforcement or legal actions.
