PRIVACY POLICY
1. Introduction
Mobile Computing Corporation (“MCC” or “we”) is committed to maintaining the accuracy, security and privacy of personal information in accordance with applicable laws. This Privacy Policy is a statement of principles and guidelines for the protection of the personal information of our website visitors, customers, suppliers, service providers, and other individuals (“individuals” or “you”). The objective of this Privacy Policy is to ensure responsible practices in the collection, use and disclosure of personal information, in accordance with laws applicable to MCC.
You're Consent
BY SUBMITTING PERSONAL INFORMATION TO MCC OR ITS AGENTS, YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY COLLECT, USE AND DISCLOSE SUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED IN AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND AS PERMITTED OR REQUIRED BY LAW. Subject to legal and contractual requirements, and reasonable notice, you may refuse or withdraw your consent to certain of the purposes described in Section 4 by contacting the MCC Privacy Officer. If you provide us with personal information of another individual, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary authority and/or have obtained all necessary consents from such individual to enable us to collect, use and disclose such personal information for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy.
2. What personal information do we collect?
Personal information is information about an identifiable individual, as defined in applicable privacy laws. Personal information does not include aggregated information that does not allow an individual to be identified. Generally speaking, an individual’s business contact information, such as his or her name, title, business address, business telephone and business facsimile numbers, are not considered to be personal information. In addition, from time to time, we may ask you to voluntarily provide us with more detailed information regarding your business requirements. For example, we sometimes ask individuals to complete surveys in order to get a better sense of who our customers and prospective customers are, what products and services may be of interest to them and insights into our customer service and account support to MCC customers.
The types of personal information we may collect includes your name, home telephone number, home and email addresses (if your contact information is personal rather than business based), your method of contact with us and your preferences, delivery instructions and other information incidental to our supply of products and services, feedback and comments you provide to us.
