The Privacy Policy I read was the one linked on your account creation page page. The policy URL: http://www.minyanville.com/community/exchange_register/Privacy-Policy.html Bill,

I can see where the confusion comes from and as you note, that form does seem absurd. Here is the privacy policy as it stands on our site and as it has for some time now: http://www.minyanville.com/company/privacy.htm We'll have to make sure that's linked appropriately on all parts of the site. However, I can tell you that we have never sold nor rented any personal information to anyone - a rare thing in our industry - nor do we intend to. The shared third party information is in the aggregate such as demographics. Please feel free to contact us with any further questions, but thanks for bringing this to our attention.
