These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any other purposes then those described below:

Agents


Publishers: We may share your contact information with the publisher(s) whose reports you purchase. The publisher(s) may send you marketing materials. If you do not wish to receive these materials you will need to contact the publisher directly in order to opt-out (providing the publisher offers an opt-out).

Service Providers


Shipping: Our publishers use an outside shipping service provider to fulfil orders. These orders will be shipped to you directly from the publisher. In these cases, the publisher receives your contact information. Credit Card Processing: When you buy something with a credit card, we use a credit card processing service provider to verify your credit card and bill you.

Other Third Parties

This information is only used in the aggregate. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site. Also, our third party tracking service employs a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of website users.

Clear gifs are tied to users' personally identifiable information but are used only by readmarketresearch.com to determine the effectiveness of various marketing programs.
