Privacy Policy |
Last updated: June 27, 2005
MBAmarket.com knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy.
By visiting MBAmarket.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
What personal information about customers does MBAmarket.com gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your experience at MBAMarket.com. Here are the types of information we gather.
1. Information you give us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, improving our services, and communicating with you.
2. Automatic information:
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses MBAmarket.com. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at MBAmarket.com if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
What are cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide MBAmarket.com specific features. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of MBAmarket.com’s coolest features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
Does MBAmarket.com share the information it receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below:
1. Agents:
We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include sending postal mail, e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
2. Business transfers:
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that MBAmarket.com., or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
3. Protection of MBAmarket.com and others:
We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of MBAmarket.com, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Policy.
4. With your consent:
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
How secure is information about me?
All credit card transactions are secured through PayPal’s state-of-the-art encryption, so your data is not available to anyone. For more information regarding PayPal’s services, please visit www.paypal.com.
It is also important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using MBAmarket.com on a shared computer. If at anytime you feel that your account has been accessed without your authorization, please change your password and contact MBAmarket.com at abuse@mbamarket.com.
Which information can I access?
MBAmarket.com gives you access to a broad range of information about your account and your interactions with MBAmarket.com for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information. You can view account registration information and transactional information after logging in and clicking on the “User Admin” link in the menu bar.
What choices do I have?
You can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a place an ad or to take advantage of MBAmarket.com features
The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.
Children
MBAmarket.com does not offer services for children. If you are under 18, you may use MBAmarket.com only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
Conditions of use, notices, and revisions
If you choose to visit MBAmarket.com, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Policy and our Terms of Use, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the state of Illinois. If you have any concern about privacy at MBAmarket.com, please contact us with a thorough description, and we will try to resolve it.
Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use will change also. You should check MBAmarket.com frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
