If you choose to sign up for our updates or receive e-mail messages from Trading Pen, you will always be given the chance to opt-out of special offers and site updates. You may change your preferences at any time and will only be contacted in manners consistent with your stated preferences.
Is there anything else I should know about my privacy and Trading Pen?
Any information you disclose voluntarily on our comments pages or in any forums we may develop in the future becomes public information. We cannot control the actions of our site users and advise you to use your discretion in sharing information about yourself on the internet.
All information sharing is optional and done so at your own risk. Privacy is a very personal matter, and we encourage you to be careful and responsible when disclosing personal information online.
