Privacy Policy
Information Collection / Use
Midland Atlantic collects information from our users
at several different points on our website. For example, we may collect
personally identifiable information from you such as your name, address,
and e-mail address when you contact us. In addition, we automatically collect non-personal information
such as your browser type, operating system, IP address, and site usage
information, in order to evaluate and improve the performance of our site.
We
collect and use information for the specific purposes for which you
provide it, such as when you request information from us. We also collect and use
information:
- to enhance your experience at our site;
- to perform site administration
and technical support;
- to notify you about our new and existing content,
events, properties or services;
- to enable you to enter promotional campaigns;
- to create aggregate information about demographics and
usage patterns.
We may also use third party
providers to help us contact you or to support our site and services,
and for these limited purposes, we may share your personally
identifiable information with our providers. By registering for and/or using
our site, you consent to our sharing of your personal information with our
third
party providers for these limited purposes.
We may disclose personal information
when required by law to do so, or at the request of a law enforcement
agency. We may also disclose personal information
when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary or appropriate to
avoid violation of, or interference with, the terms of use of our site or services,
or with our proprietary rights, or the rights of third parties.
We will not
sell, share, or rent this personal information to other third parties,
and we will not otherwise disclose personally identifiable information to third
parties without your explicit permission, except as disclosed in this policy.
We
may use aggregate information to measure general site usage patterns
and characteristics of our user base, and we may include such aggregate
information
about our audience
in reports to our partners or vendors. We may also disclose aggregated user
statistics (for example, 28% of our members live in Indiana) without your permission
in
order to describe our audience to existing and prospective sponsors or other
third parties. However, this aggregate information does not reference names,
e-mail addresses, or other personally identifiable information, and it is not
traceable to a specific recipient or e-mail address.
Security
Personal information collected by Midland Atlantic
is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to
the public. We are
dedicated to maintaining the security of such information. However, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed 100% secure. We cannot ensure
or warrant
the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own
risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best efforts to ensure
its security on our systems. We will notify you immediately if any breach of
our
security system affects you by sending an e-mail notice to you within 5-7 days
of our discovery of any such breach.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files
of your computer or use other technology to improve your navigation of
our site.
The cookie itself does not contain your personal information, although it will
enable us to relate your use of the site to information that you have specifically
and knowingly provided to us. You may be able to set your browser to reject
cookies, but then you may be unable to access certain areas of the site
or may not be
able to customize the site’s features. Some of our business affiliates,
partners, and sponsors independently may use cookies, to tell when you have
contacted their web site. Because we do not control the privacy policies of
our business
affiliates, partners, sponsors or any other sites to which we may provide links,
you should check the privacy policy of the site that you are visiting if you
have any concerns about that site's use of cookies or other data gathering
devices.
Other Links
You may be able to access content and other services through links
located on our site, including the websites of business affiliates,
partners, sponsors
or
other sites. This policy does not apply to such content or services, and
we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any
site that may
be
linked to our site. We recommend that you review the privacy policy at each
such site.
Agreement
Your use of our site means that you have read, accepted and agreed
to this policy, and you consent to use of your personal information
as set forth
in this policy.
If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our site. We reserve
the right to change this policy at any time, and from time to time, in
which case we will post the revised policy on our site. Your continued
use of the
site after the posting of any changes will constitute your acceptance of
such changes.
If you have concerns or questions about our privacy policy, please contact
