Privacy Policy
MShift
respects your privacy. This privacy statement discloses the
privacy practices for www.mshift.com.
Terms
of Use
This
World Wide Web site is owned and operated by MShift, Inc.
and open to public access.
Information
Collected
MShift is the sole owner of the information collected on this
site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to
others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.
MShift collects information from our users at different points
on our website.
Cookies
A
cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive
containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is
in no way linked to any personally identifiable information
while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the
cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie
on our site, the user would not have to log in a password
more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If
a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The
only drawback to this is that the user may be limited in some
areas of our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and
target the interests of our users to enhance the experience
on our site.
Log
Files
We
use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track
user's movement, and gather broad demographic information
for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
Sharing
We
do not share aggregated demographic information with anyone.
Links
This
website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that
MShift, Inc. is not responsible for the privacy practices
of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when
they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of
each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site.
Security
This
website takes every precaution to protect our users' information.
When users submit sensitive information via the website, their
information is protected both online and off-line.
When
our registration/order form on the M-World portal asks users
to enter sensitive information (such as shipping and/or billing
information), that information is encrypted and is protected
with the best encryption software in the industry-SSL. While
on a secure page, such as our billing and shipping registration
page, the lock icon on the bottom of the Web browsers such
as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
'surfing.' To learn more about SSL, follow this link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer.
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 the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices.
Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job function (for example, our billing clerk or a customer
service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers
when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter
their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore,
ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy
practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies
are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about
the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to
ensure our customers' information is protected. Finally, the
servers that we store personally identifiable information
are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
If
you have any questions about the security at our website,
you can send an email to security@mshift.com.
Notification
of Changes
If
we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes throughout our web site so our users are always aware
of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we
decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner
different from that stated at the time it was collected, we
will notify users by way of an e-mail. Users will have a choice
as to whether or not we use their information in this different
manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy
policy under which the information was collected.
