COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION:

This Privacy Policy describes our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of the information obtained from you through e-mail communications with you, whether general inquiries or otherwise, related to any of MBYC’s products and services.

What Information Do We Collect and How Is It Used?

Personal Information: Any personal information available to MBYC, which has been entered by you during membership activation, and generally kept up-to-date by yourself. As part of our requirement for fulfilling our obligations to members, we do access your membership information, including your name, postal code and email address.
E-mail addresses are used to send member information, and to respond to general inquiry requests. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with parties outside of the MBYC network.
Automatic Data Collection: As with most Internet sites, the website collects a variety of technical data, including your IP address, domain, and web browser information. Technical data is used only for the purpose of creating broad demographic summaries of website usage and activity to assist us in providing useful content that is tailored to be of most value to our users.
Cookies: Our website may use “cookies”. This technology allows users to move more quickly through our site. Cookies are small text files that a website uses to recognize repeat users and facilitate ongoing access to and use of the site. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. We do not record or store any information about your movements on the Internet outside of the website. You can choose to decline our cookies (e.g., by setting your browser to reject cookies), but if you do, some parts of the website may not operate properly. Weblogs are maintained by this website.

Disclosure of Your Information to Third Parties

We do not share individual information with third parties outside of the MBYC network. There are no exceptions to this third party non-disclosure policy, except as may be required by law.
All personal information is securely stored on our servers. MBYC has reasonable security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and interception by third parties of the information under our control. However, complete confidentiality and security is not yet possible over the Internet. We assume no liability for any damages you may suffer as a result of interception, alteration or misuse of information that is transmitted or collected over the Internet.

LIMITS FOR COLLECTING, USING, DISCLOSING AND KEEPING PERSONAL INFORMATION:

We limit the type of mandatory information collected by us to only the personal information that is required to accomplish the identified purpose of providing MBYC’s various member services, as well as responding to e-mail inquiries.
