MXTools is committed to protecting your privacy and developing
technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement
of Privacy applies to the MXTools Web site and governs data collection
and usage. By using the MXTools website, you consent to the data
practices described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
MXTools collects personally identifiable information, such as your
e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. MXTools
also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such
as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically
collected by MXTools. This information can include: your IP address,
browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This
information is used by MXTools for the operation of the service,
to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding
use of the MXTools Web site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information
or personally sensitive data through MXTools public message boards,
this information may be collected and used by others. Note: MXTools
does not read any of your private online communications.
MXTools encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web
sites you choose to link to from MXTools so that you can understand
how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. MXTools
is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside
of the MXTools and MXTools family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
MXTools collects and uses your personal information to operate
the MXTools Web site and deliver the services you have requested. MXTools also uses
your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services
available from MXTools and its affiliates. MXTools may also contact you via surveys
to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services
that may be offered.
MXTools does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third
parties. MXTools may, from time to time, contact you on behalf
of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest
to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail,
name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition,
MXTools may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis,
send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries.
All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except
to provide these services to MXTools, and they are required to
maintain the confidentiality of your information.
MXTools does not use or disclose sensitive personal information,
such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
MXTools keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit
within MXTools, in order to determine what MXTools
services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and
advertising within MXTools to customers whose behavior indicates
that they are interested in a particular subject area.
MXTools Web sites will disclose your personal information, without
notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action
is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process
served on MXTools or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights
or property of MXTools; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances
to protect the personal safety of users of MXTools, or the public.
Use of Cookie
The MXTools Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize
your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk
by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses
to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by
a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save
you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned
to a specific page. For example, if you personalize MXTools pages,
or register with MXTools site or services, a cookie helps MXTools
to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process
of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses,
and so on. When you return to the same MXTools Web site, the information
you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the MXTools
features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies
if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience
the interactive features of the MXTools services or Web sites you
visit.
Security of your Personal Information MXTools secures your personal
information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. MXTools
secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers
in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or
disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted
to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
MXTools will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect
company and customer feedback. MXTools encourages you to periodically
review this Statement to be informed of how MXTools is protecting
your information.
