Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:

• Tracking Technologies and Advertising. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

We do not control third parties' collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a web analytics website offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Website. This data is shared with other Google Websites. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Website available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visit activity.

For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy Terms web page.

Data Security

We have implemented appropriate administrative, physical, and technical security measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. We endeavor to encrypt the personal information your provide to us. We use the secure socket layer (SSL) protocol and a secure server to safeguard the information you submit. All payment transactions are processed through third parties and are subject to the security, terms and conditions, and policies of that third party provider. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just sensitive information, is restricted in our offices. We limit employee access of personally identifiable information to those with a business reason for accessing such information. Mplace also believes in educating our employees so that they will understand the importance of confidentiality of personal information, and in taking appropriate measures to enforce employee privacy responsibilities. Finally, the servers on which we store personal information are kept in a secure environment.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you or where you have chosen a password for access to certain parts of our Website or Application you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. Protecting your account login credentials (i.e. your username and password) from unauthorized access is your responsibility. You may not share your login credentials with any third party. We recommend you log out after accessing your account, change your password on a periodic basis, and limit access to your computer or device and its browser. While we use commercially reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing our files or tampering with the Website or Application, we cannot guarantee that these efforts will always be successful. We do not represent, warrant, or guarantee that our safeguards will protect the total privacy of your personal information.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website or the Application. You are responsible for ensuring the security and safety of your internet connection. You should not transfer any data to our Websites or Applications via an unsecured internet connection. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We cannot and do not ensure, represent, warrant, or guarantee the security of any information you transmit through the Website or Application. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website or the Application.

Retention of Your Personal Information

We retain your information for as long as required, allowed or as long as we believe it is useful, but do not undertake retention obligations. We may dispose of your information in our sole discretion without notice, subject to applicable law that specifically requires the handling or retention of your information. You must keep your own, separate back-up records of your data.

You can correct, update, and remove your information if it changes or if you no longer want to receive information except that which is related to our services. This can be done by e-mailing a request to us at [email protected]. We may not be able to completely remove your information from our systems in certain circumstances.

Third Party Links

The Website or Application may contain links to other sites or applications. Please be aware that Mplace is not responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites or applications. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Website or Application and to review the privacy statements of each website or application that collects personal information. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected on our Website or Application. Information collected on other sites or applications is not covered by this privacy policy.
