Is any content from Dow Jones NOT included in our subscription?

WSJ Pro articles are not part of the UCI Libraries' subscription to WSJ.com.  WSJ Pro is a completely separate premium product.  Unfortunately, Dow Jones does not mark its Pro article links (e.g. with a padlock icon), so you may not realize it's a Pro article unless you see the Pro logo in the header, as well as another box prompting you to sign in or subscribe.  

What personal info might Dow Jones collect, and how might they use it?

When you create a WSJ.com account, your personal information is subject to use by publisher Dow Jones as described below:

• How/when personal data is collected: Information required when you sign up for an account or create a profile; use an interactive feature (such as chat, chat bot or article sharing options); participate in a community forum. 
   
• Data collected through third parties: If you access through a social media service, information collected may include your social media user ID and/or user name, profile picture, email address, demographic data, your interests, and your activities on other websites.
   
• Other data collected through third party analytics providers, ad networks, and advertisers: Dow Jones can track your online activities over time and across third party websites, apps and devices. Data may include your name, contact information, your transactions, purchase history, or relationships with various product and service providers, and use of certain applications. 
   
• Other data that may be collected: Password, birthday, education or graduation year, occupation, financial information (i.e. income, investments, portfolio transactions and value), live event accommodations, and interests.
   
• Here's the full Dow Jones Privacy Notice.

Tip:
What's a trade publication?
Trade publications are generally written by people within an industry for people within an industry.  For example, JCK is for people working in the jewelry industry, and the Chronicle of Higher Education is for people working at colleges and universities.  Trade publications give great insight into the culture, vocabulary, and inner workings of an industry.
