DATA INFORMATION COLLECTED

When you use our website, our Internet Service Provider (”ISP”) will record and log for statistical purposes the following information about your visit:

• your server address and top-level domain name (eg. .com, .gov, etc),
• the date and time of your visit,
• when entering from another website, the address of that website,
• the pages and documents you access during your visit, and
• the type of browser you are using.

This information is collected through the use of “cookies” (see below).
We will not attempt to identify individual users and we will not collect personal information unless you provide it to us.
If you request information or provide feedback about any of our products or services you will be asked to provide contact details and a mailing address.
We do not collect information about political or religious beliefs, ethnic background or sexual preferences.

The personal information which MGI collect and hold includes:

• your name, age, billing and/or shipping address, email address, gender, occupation, telephone number(s), credit card information & product ownership history

OPT-OUT/UNSUBSCRIBE

You can easily unsubscribe at any time you want to our communications by contacting us or by following the instructions contained in our e-mail communications.

It may take some time to put an opt-out or an unsubscribe in effect so you may still receive communications from us for several weeks after your request is received.

For the avoidance of doubt, by opting–out or unsubscribing yourself from a mailing list of an MGI product or service this will ensure your removal from that particular mailing list but will not guarantee your removal from other mailing lists that MGI may store your details in as a result of your engagement with a different service or product.

INFORMATION FROM THIRD PARTIES

During the course of business, the MGI may also collect personal information that is given to them by a third party (for example, a corporate partner of MGI or information that is on a publicly maintained record). This information forms part of the personal information described in this Privacy Policy. MGI will not intentionally solicit personal information that is unintentionally disclosed.

The information we collect is subject to this Privacy Policy. However, the information collected and stored by the third party remains subject to the third-party's privacy practices, including whether the third party continues to share information with us or with other third parties, the types of information shared, and your choices with regard to what is visible to others on that third party's website or service. The third party may allow you to remove the application or feature, in which case we will no longer collect information about you through the application or feature, but we may retain the information previously collected. In addition, we may receive information about you if other users of a third-party website or service give us access to their profiles and you are one of their "connections" or information about you is otherwise accessible through your "connections'" web page, profile page, or similar page on a social networking or other third-party website or interactive service.
