Our Commitment to Privacy
At MSAA Partners our foremost consideration is to ensure that our visitors have a safe and secure online experience with us. We consider the information you choose to share with us personal and confidential and we are extremely committed to protecting your privacy. MSAA Partners 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. We believe that it is important that you understand how we treat the information that we receive from you. We created this Website Privacy Policy in order to ensure the confidence of visitors to this Website, and to demonstrate our commitment to fair practices and the protection of privacy. This Privacy Policy has been developed with the recognition that Internet technologies are rapidly evolving, and that underlying business models still may not be established or mature. Accordingly, this Privacy Policy is subject to change at MSAA Partners’ sole and unilateral discretion, at any time with or without advance notice. Any such changes will be posted on this Site. Any such change, update or modification will be effective immediately upon its posting on this Site.
Traffic Data
We collect two types of information: Traffic Data and Personal Information. We automatically track and collect the following information when you visit our Site: your (i) IP address; (ii) domain server; (iii) type of computer; and (iv) type of web browser (collectively, “Traffic Data”). Traffic Data is anonymous information that does not personally identify you but is helpful for marketing purposes or for improving your experience on the Site. For example, we use this information for statistical purposes, such as measuring the average time spent on the Site and the pages viewed on the Site.
Cookies
On part of our site, we may use cookies to store and track information about you on our website. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and subsequently stored on your computer’s hard drive. Primarily, we will use cookies during credit card transactions to remind us who you are and enable us to access your account information so you do not have to re-enter it on subsequent visits. In all cases in which cookies are used, your Personal Information will not be collected unless you expressly agree to provide it. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. Further information about cookies can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/info/cookies.htm.
Surveys and Contests
From time-to-time, MSAA Partners will request additional information from customers through surveys, sweepstakes or other contests. Participation in these are strictly voluntary and the user has the choice of whether or not to disclose this information. In addition, all customers will always be provided with an opportunity to opt out of receiving such future e-mails. Information requested may include contact and demographic information. In addition, we may automatically gather general statistical information about our website and visitors, such as IP addresses, browsers, pages viewed, number of visitors, gift cards purchased, etc., but in doing so we do not reference you by individual name, e-mail address, home address, or telephone number. We use this data in the aggregate to determine how much our customers use parts of our site so we can improve the customer experience on our site. We may provide this statistical information to third parties, but when we do so we do not provide personally identifying information without your permission.
How We Use the Information
Our goal is to provide you with a site that best meets your needs, wants and interests. Therefore, we primarily use the information we’ve collected to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze site usage, to improve our content and product offerings and to customize our site’s content, layout, and services.
The email addresses that we collect are used by us to contact consumers for marketing purposes and are not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes whatsoever.
