Privacy Policy
TAL has created this privacy statement to demonstrate our firm commitment to consumer privacy. The following discloses our information-gathering and dissemination practices for the Web site located at www.realtick.com.

Information Gathering
This Web site does not require registration from users. TAL receives names, contact information and e-mail addresses only when personally submitted by users through the optional Contact page or from those who wish to become customers of TAL. This information is not gathered by TAL without users' knowing, active permission and participation. TAL respects the privacy of its users and does not share any personally identifiable information with any third party not affiliated with TAL. The registration forms for prospective TAL customers require users to give us contact information, such as their name and email address. The customer's contact information is used only to contact the customer about their TAL account or software license. TAL does not sell or otherwise disseminate this contact information to third parties. Credit card numbers and other financial information may also be collected from TAL customers; this information is used solely for the purpose of billing customers for the products and services they have ordered.

Business Partners and Outside Companies

As a provider of market data software, TAL works closely with various exchanges and data feeds. TAL does not sell or otherwise disseminate customer information to such business partners. However, for customers who use TAL software to access such data sources, communication between TAL and the data source about the customer is sometimes necessary. Townsend Analytics will not provide information about a customer to an exchange or datafeed unless the customer has voluntarily chosen to subscribe to said exchange or datafeed.

The Username, Domain Name and Password assigned to you for downloading RealTick software are for your personal use only. You are responsible if they are lost, stolen or misused, and you must notify TAL immediately if any of these events happen. You may not use the Contact feature to send us time-sensitive instructions, or to give us personal credit information or an address change.

TAL has taken certain steps to provide a secure environment for your personal information on this Web site. All customer data is stored on secure servers behind a firewall.

However, TAL cannot guarantee the confidentiality of such information because of the nature of the Internet.

Downloading Software
TAL software is made available for downloading solely for the use by end users according to the License Agreement. Users may download and install the software, but they must obtain a Username, Domain Name and Password before they can use the software. TAL software is licensed "as is" and "with all faults." Neither TAL nor any of its third party providers warrant that TAL software will be error-free or that any provided services will be uninterrupted. TAL retains any and all rights and title, including proprietary rights therein. Any reproduction or redistribution of the TAL software not in accordance with the License Agreement is expressly prohibited by law, and may result in severe civil and criminal penalties.

TAL does not claim that materials in this site are appropriate or available for use in locations other than Illinois. If you choose to access this site from other locations, you do so on your own initiative and you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws. The laws of the State of Illinois govern the Terms of Use without regard to its conflict of law provisions. If you take legal action relating to the Terms of Use, you agree to file such action only in the federal or state courts located within Cook County, Illinois, and you consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts for the purposes of litigating any such action. The failure of TAL to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Severability
If any provision of the Terms of Use is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable for any reason, that provision will be deemed severable from these terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
