This is the MMAFORECASTER / MMA Network (the "Company(s)") Web site.
We can be reached via e-mail at info@mmaforecaster.com.
This Privacy Policy is applicable to Registered Users (Mailing List) and Subscribers of MMAFORECASTER.com.
Your privacy, and the privacy of all the Company's Registered Users, Subscribers is important to us, and we are committed to protecting the personal information you choose to share with us. Accordingly, we have adopted the following privacy policy, based on the principles of notice, choice, access and security in the collection and use of all information regarding our members and their activities on the Company's web sites.
Our data collection and privacy practices are described below. This policy tells you, among other things, what information we may gather from you, how we may use or disclose that information, and our efforts to protect it. Please read this policy carefully, and feel free to contact us at info@mmaforecaster.com if you have any questions regarding its contents.
What information do we gather?
The Company may obtain three types of information from its Registered Users, and Subscribers:
1. registration, subscription, or application data,
2. site usage data, and
3. voluntary submissions & postings.
Registration, Subscription, or Application Data. The only individually identifiable information that the Company seeks about you is that which you are asked to provide when you register, subscribe, or apply for membership. This information includes your name, mailing address, e-mail address, and billing information. Applicants may be asked to provide additional personal information, such as employer and occupation, educational background, areas of expertise, age range, portfolio information, and other demographic information.
Site Usage Data. We collect non-identifiable information to measure how our Registered Users, Subscribers, and Alliance Members use the Company's web sites. This information may include statistics about the numbers and timing of unique visits, repeat visits, and which pages are viewed. 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.
Voluntary Submissions & Postings. The Company offers several avenues for Registered Users and Subscribers to volunteer picks, feedback, statements, opinions, or other information which is then made available to others on the Company's web sites and applications. We do not require Registered Users or Subscribers to include personally-identifiable information in these postings. In fact, we generally discourage it. The content of voluntary postings are the sole responsibility of the Registered Users, Subscribers, or Members who post them, subject to the applicable Usage Agreement.
What do we do with personal information about you?
Your registration and subscription application data will be closely protected.
Many of the features on the Company's web sites are designed to be "personalized" to meet the needs and interests of our Registered Users and Subscribers Members.
We may combine your application data and information about your usage of our Site with those of all or a particular group of our members, to prepare aggregated, non-identifiable profiles of our members and their activities on our Site. For example, we may track the number of our members who view certain pages or use certain features. Such information, and other aggregated information we derive from individual members' information, allows us to continue to grow and provide you with timely and useful information through our Site.
With regard to our advertisers, we may provide them with non-identifiable, aggregated information about the Company's web site traffic. This information may also be disclosed in describing our web sites and services to prospective business partners and other third parties. However, this aggregated information about website traffic will not include personally-identifiable information such as registration or subscription application data or individual page-views.
The Company also reserves the right to disclose information as required by law, or to the extent that we believe in good faith that such disclosure is legally required or necessary to protect others' rights or property.
Registered Users and Subscribers. The Company uses registration and subscription information to maintain records about your use of the Company's services, for billing purposes, and for us to occasionally send you information on products and services that the Company offers. If you do not wish to receive this information you may "opt out" by sending an email stating such to info@mmaforecaster.com.
We may also occasionally provide the names and postal mailing addresses (but not e-mail addresses or telephone numbers) of the Company's Registered Users and Subscribers to third parties who offer products, services, or information which we believe may be of interest to you. If you do not want us to provide this information, you may "opt out" by sending an email stating such to info@mmaforecaster.com.
The Company's Registered Users and Subscribers who have not been receiving information from the Company, or third parties but now wish to receive such information may "opt in" by sending an email stating such to info@mmaforecaster.com.
How does the Company use "cookies"?
Using the Company's web sites requires that you accept the use of "cookies," which are small files that our web sites send to your Internet browser for storage on your computer's hard drive.
We use cookies to measure activity on our web sites. Our plans for improvements and updates are based on which areas of our web sites are popular and which are not. Everything we learn from these measurements will be used to enrich your experience on our web sites. The Company does not use cookies for promotional or marketing purposes, nor is that information shared with third parties.
Can you access information about yourself?
Yes. Our services and subscriptions are offered via Paypal. Paypal is your own personally set-up payment account. You can login via their web site at paypal.com. The Company has no control and accepts no responsibility over this service.
What happens to my information if I am no longer a Registered User or Subscriber?
Former Registered Users and Subscribers. Registration and subscription information is retained unless you ask us to delete it. You may request that your registration or subscription data be deleted from our system by sending a request to info@mmaforecaster.com.
How is your information protected?
Please remember that you play a valuable part in data security. Your passwords to access our web sites, which you select when you register, subscribe, or join the Alliance, should never be shared with anyone and should be changed frequently. After you have finished using one or more of our web sites, you should log off and exit your browser so that no unauthorized persons can use our web sites under your name and account information. Remember that any information you voluntarily disclose on-line in any news or message postings, discussion groups or chat rooms may be collected and used by others without your permission. Furthermore, if you provide any information to parties who operate web sites that are linked to or from one or more of our web sites, different policies may apply to their collection, use or disclosure of your personal information. We encourage you to review these external sites' policies carefully before revealing any sensitive or personal information.
Regardless of the precautions taken by you or by us, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you transmit such information at your own risk.
Restrictions on Access by Children
Federal law restricts our ability to collect information from children online. For this and other reasons, the Company's web sites are open only to persons 18 years of age and over. All Registrants and Subscribers are required to certify that they are 18 years of age or over. If we learn that a Registered User or Subscriber is under age 18, his or her access to the Company will be immediately terminated with no further obligation to the Company, and all identifiable information will be deleted. Misrepresenting age is a violation of our Usage Agreements and will not be tolerated.
Submitting Information
Please remember that voluntary postings submitted through our Company Submission Forms, Industry Intelligence Panels, Company Applications along with all voluntary postings submitted through our Registered User or Subscriber web sites, are subject to widespread distribution. As set forth in the Company's Usage Agreements, Registered Users and Subscribers are solely responsible for the content of their postings and must follow acceptable standards of behavior when posting messages online. Voluntary postings by Registered Users and Subscribers become the property of the Company, and we cannot restrict disclosures of or otherwise guarantee the privacy of any information contained in such postings.
USE OF THIS SITE SIGNIFIES YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE PRIVACY POLICY AND APPLICABLE USAGE AGREEMENT.
The Company reserves the right to change this policy at any time by posting a revised privacy policy on this web page.
