Last Modified: May 25, 2018
This Privacy Policy applies to the websites and services offered by Behavioral Analysis of Markets (referred to as “BAM”, “we” or “us” in this Privacy Policy) including baminvestor.com, baminvestor.com/members, bamglobalpro.com, beststockmarketindicator.com, and all other BAM related websites (collectively, the “Sites”), as well as all downloadable software, mobile applications, and other services provided by BAM and on which a link to this Privacy Policy is displayed (collectively, together with the Sites, our “Services”).
We respect individual privacy and value the confidence of our customers, employees, business partners, and others. We strive to collect, use, and disclose personal information in a manner consistent with the laws of the countries in which we do business and have a tradition of upholding the highest ethical standards in our business practices.
This Privacy Policy describes the personal information that we gather on or through our Services, how we use and disclose such information, the steps we take to protect your information, and the rights you may have related to our information collection and use practices. By visiting the Sites, or by purchasing or using our Services, you accept the privacy practices described in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy is incorporated into, and is subject to, the BAM terms of use at www.baminvestor.com/t_c.html
How and What Information We Collect
User-Provided Information. We collect personally identifiable information voluntarily provided by users or visitors of our Services (also referred to as “Users” or “you” in this Privacy Policy), including when you visit the Sites, use the Services, register an account, fill out forms on the Sites, or otherwise contact us. The personal information that we collect on or through our Services may include your first and last name, email address, mailing address, telephone number(s), organizational affiliation, credit card or other billing information, and any other information you choose to provide when you use the Services or otherwise interact with us.
Location Information. Some of our Sites and mobile apps also collect geo-location information. We use your location information to provide requested location-specific services, including local weather forecasts and asset tracking. You may at any time opt-out from further allowing us to have access to your location data by turning off the location services in your mobile phone or browser settings. Please be aware that certain features of the mobile apps will not perform as expected if location services are turned off.
Automatically Collected Information. As is true of most websites and mobile applications, we or our third party service providers and partners (discussed below) collect information from you over time using automated means such as cookies, beacons, or online data analytics tools. This “automatically collected” information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device and browser type(s), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, or clickstream data and other information about the way you use the Services. Depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside, this information may or may not be considered personal information. We also use these technologies to collect information regarding your interaction with BAM-related links appearing on third-party websites or in a BAM-generated email, such as whether you click on or forward a link or message. We may link this automatically collected data to other information you provide or we collect from you.
BAM does not directly track you when you visit other websites or engage in other activities online, so we do not register Do Not Track (DNT) signals from your browser. However, you should review the privacy policies of other third parties that may be operating on our Sites (discussed below) to determine whether they honor DNT signals. For more information on “do not track” options, please see: http://donottrack.us/.
How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information we collect about you to solicit, service, and communicate with you or as otherwise disclosed in this Privacy Policy. In particular, we will use your information (a) as is necessary for the performance of contracts we have with you, or at your request prior to you entering into a contract with us (e.g., to send you product or billing information); (b) in ways that you likely expect and that will have minimal privacy impact in order to further our legitimate interests (e.g., to contact you following a tradeshow or to provide requested trial services); or (c) for any other purpose for which we have your consent (e.g., to send you ongoing marketing and promotional information). BAM does not use your personal information to make solely automated decisions about you or to make decisions about you that are likely to produce legal or similarly significant effects.
If you receive commercial emails from us, you may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions contained within the email or by sending an email to the address provided in the “Contact Us” section below. Please be aware that if you opt-out of receiving commercial email from us, it is normally processed that day, but may take up to 12 days for us to process your request. Additionally, even after you opt-out from receiving commercial messages from us, you will continue to receive otherwise permitted administrative messages from us regarding the Services.
At times BAM may allow a customer to purchase products or make payments through the Services. In such event, BAM may use a third-party credit card processing company to bill you for goods or services that you request. The current credit card processing company that BAM uses to store and process credit card transactions is called PayPal and Stripe.
We use analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Jetpack to analyze trends, administer and improve our Services, and track Users’ movements around the Services and on the Internet, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. These third party analytics companies do not seek to identify individual users or to receive personally identifiable information except as may occur when they use your IP address. This information helps us to improve our Services and deliver a better and more personalized service. Many of these companies, such as Google Analytics, collect and use information under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. For more information about Google Analytics or Jetpack analytics and their privacy policies, please visit the Google Analytics privacy page and/or the Google Partners’ Page and the Jetpack privacy page. You may opt-out of Google Analytics or Jetpack web monitoring by following the instructions on the Google Analytics Web Monitoring Opt-Out page or the Jetpack Web Monitoring Opt-Out page.
BAM may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law or legal process served on BAM or the Services; (b) protect or defend the rights of property of BAM and its Services; or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of BAM employees, users of BAM products or services, or members of the general public.
BAM does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. When you give us personal information, BAM will not share that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions and purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

When you return to these websites — or visit other websites that use the same cookies — the websites recognize these cookies and your browsing device.
Our Sites use the following types of cookies:
