Privacy Policy
Monday Newswire (“Monday Newswire” or “we”) owns and operates various websites (the “Sites”). Our Sites include, but are not limited to, the following:
We want you to feel comfortable using the Sites, so we have created this Privacy Policy to inform you of what information we may collect from you on the Sites and how we may use that information. As detailed in this Privacy Policy, we may collect different types of information and utilize them in various ways depending on which of our Sites you use.
This policy also describes your choices regarding the use, access, and correction of your personal information. Please take a moment to review the terms of this Privacy Policy. By using the Sites, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the Sites. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected on the Sites and does not cover information collected by other means.
Personal Information
To access the Sites, services, and the information available on the Sites, you may be required to register and provide personal information such as your name, email address, telephone number, and certain financial information, including credit card information. If you provide us with personal information, we will retain and may use that information to contact or respond to you.
We may retain or use your information for a period of up to 10 years to pursue our legitimate business interests unless otherwise agreed by you in writing. Our legitimate business interests may include customizing the services we provide, ensuring compliance with Monday Newswire policies and applicable laws, and authenticating user accounts for secure handling. We will retain such information even if you delete your account, but will only use it as described above.
We may share your personal information with our partners. For example, if you use our Investor Network website to research various companies, we may share the information we collect with the companies you are researching, and those companies may use the information for their own purposes. Before using the Investor Network, you will need to complete a submission form specifying how your information will be used and who will have rights to it.
We also collect potentially personally identifying information like “IP addresses” for logged-in users and users leaving comments on our blogs. Monday Newswire discloses logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Our services collect, store, and process this personal information on servers in the United States.
We collect your personal information to:
- Provide you with a tailored experience on our platforms.
- Notify you about your account activity.
- Process transactions and requests as directed by you.
- Provide customer support and resolve disputes.
- Verify your identity and account information.
- Identify, prevent, and report potentially prohibited, fraudulent, or illegal activities.
- Provide transaction, risk mitigation, and “KYC – Know Your Customer” reports to our Financial Institution Partner(s) and/or merchants.

General Information and Automatic Collection
From time to time, we may collect general, non-personal, statistical information about the use of the Sites, such as the number of visitors to a specific page, how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks they “click” on.
We collect this information using technologies such as “cookies” and “IP addresses.” Our system may also automatically collect operational information about the technology you use, such as your browser, type of computer, operating systems, internet service providers, and the domain name of the Sites from which you linked to our Sites.
We collect this information to determine which areas of the Sites are most popular and to enhance the Sites for visitors. We may also use this information for security purposes, to detect and block security breaches, and to provide you with a safe online environment. We may share this information with our partners.
IP Addresses Collection
An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the web. Web servers identify your computer by its IP address. Monday Newswire collects IP addresses for purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information to third parties, and to track the use of the Sites. When visitors request pages from the Sites, our servers log their IP addresses. It is not our practice to link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a visitor’s session will be logged, but the visitor remains anonymous to us. However, we reserve the right to use IP addresses to identify a visitor when necessary to enforce compliance with the Site’s policies or to protect Monday Newswire, the Sites, its visitors, or others.
Cookies and Tracking Mechanisms
We partner with third parties to display advertising on our website or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our third-party partners may use cookies or similar technologies to provide you with advertising based on your browsing activities and interests. If you wish to opt out of interest-based advertising, you may do so on your account page. You will still receive generic ads.
Monday Newswire and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements, and gather demographic information about our user base.
Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make web-surfing easier by saving your preferences while you are at the Sites. The use of cookies is an industry standard.
By showing how and when visitors use the Sites, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Information such as the total number of visitors and pages viewed is most easily tracked with cookies. We may use the information from cookies to make improvements and updates to the Sites and tailor our services to visitors’ needs.
You can disable cookies using your browser preferences. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Sites may not function properly or may be slower if you refuse cookies. For more information about cookies and targeted advertisements or to opt out of having this information used by companies that are part of the Network Advertising Initiative, please visit www.networkadvertising.org/choices.
Pages of our Sites may contain electronic images known as web beacons (or single-pixel gifs) that permit Monday Newswire to count users who have visited those pages and for other related website statistics (e.g., recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity). Web beacons are not used to access your personal information on the Sites; they compile aggregated statistics concerning the use of the Sites. Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, the time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the web beacon resides.
Additionally, we use certain analytics platforms to track certain personal information of yours. Information collected about you is limited to age, gender, and affinity categories. If you would like to opt out of the collection of such information, you may do so on your account page. Most web browsers provide technology plugins that prevent your data from being collected and used by analytics platforms.
User Data Collection and Tracking Technologies
We may receive information about you from other sources, including publicly available databases or social media sites, and combine this data with information we already have about you. This helps us to update, expand, and analyze our records, identify new customers, and provide products and services that may interest you.
Examples of the types of personal information that may be obtained from public sources or purchased from third parties and combined with information we already have about you (for creating more tailored advertising and products) may include purchased marketing data about our customers from third parties and other information publicly available on social media sites.
Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers may transmit “do not track” signals to websites. At this time, we do not respond to “do not track” signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for this practice. However, we do provide information about the data we collect and your choices for opting out of certain data collection practices. You can learn more about these options in the sections above.
