Media Contacts Pro FAIR INFORMATION PRINCIPLES

NOTICE - We provide information to you about:

The Information We Collect About You
This Media Contacts Pro online privacy policy applies to all information we receive online from you and about you in connection with an online transaction or request. The information, if any, which we collect from or about you while you are accessing and using our web sites covered by this privacy policy depends on what you do while you on our web sites. If you do not: 1) register or fill out any forms at an Media Contacts Pro web site, then we do not collect any personally identifiable information or business organization identifiable information about you while you are accessing or using our web sites.

If you do: 1) register or fill out any forms at an Media Contacts Pro web site, then we do collect personally identifiable information or business organization identifiable information from you or about you online. However, in these situations we only collect certain information from you and about you to process your request and to verify your identity to be sure that we are assisting the proper individual or business organization.

Information From You
Specifically, we receive information from you online when you: 1) register or fill out any forms at an Media Contacts Pro web site.

We also receive information from you online when you send us e-mail, applications and other forms, or register at our web sites.

Information From Others
We may also collect information about your transactions with us, our affiliates, or others, such as the products and services you ordered. In connection with requests for Personal Solutions products, for example, we access your Media Contacts Pro individual credit file information or your Media Contacts Pro business organization credit file. In connection with verifying your identity as an individual we may also collect from outside sources personally identifiable information about you, such as name, address, and e-mail addresses.

How We Use The Information We Collect
We use the information we collect about you to handle the requests you make to us.

Additionally, as legally permitted, we may use the information we collect for your Personal Solutions Membership and other requests, including postal address and/or e-mail address, to send you promotions for Personal Solutions products and services. (Of course, you may opt out of receiving such promotions. See the "CHOICE" section of this privacy policy.)

Information collected when you register at Media Contacts Pro web sites other than the web sites to which this privacy policy applies (they are identified at the beginning of this privacy policy) is used for the purposes identified on those web site registration forms.

To Whom We May Disclose The Information We Collect
We may disclose any information collected from you or about you through the web sites to which this Privacy Policy applies as required by law or legal process.

We take reasonable precautions to be sure that nonaffiliated third parties and affiliates, to whom we disclose personally identifiable information or business organization identifiable information, as described below, are aware of our privacy policy and fair information principles and will treat the information in a similarly responsible manner. Our contracts and written agreement with nonaffiliated third parties that receive information from us about you as an individual, who has not opted out of this disclosure, prevent further transfer of the information.

When personally identifiable information or business identifiable information is collected when you register at an Media Contacts Pro web site other than those covered by this privacy policy, the information will be disclosed, if at all, pursuant to the privacy policy for that web site.

Media Contacts Pro is not, however, responsible for the privacy practices or content of link sites listed on our web pages. The owners of these pages are responsible for them.

Except as stated in the "To Whom We Disclose The Information We Collect" section above, we restrict access to personally identifiable information and business organization identifiable information that is collected about you to only those who have a need to know that information in connection with the purposes for which it is collected and used.

Additionally, we have security protocols and measures in place to protect the personally identifiable information, business organization identifiable information and other information we maintain about you from unauthorized access or alteration. These measures include internal and external firewalls, physical security and technological security measures, and encryption of certain data.

 

ACCOUNTABILITY

"Accountability" is generally recognized as an important component of "Fair Information Practices" and refers to the process that a company has in place to be sure it adheres to its privacy policy. It also means that a redress process exists to address privacy policy compliance questions.

Spam-Free Best Practices

Everyone hates SPAM, except the spammer, we suppose. But as responsible eMarketers, we all cherish the value of our own leads, customers, partners, employees and company associates as if they were gold. That care and protection of your list(s), and building upon the trust and brand loyalty you've created over the years is what MediaContactsx is all about.

MediaContactsx follows the following:

  • Instant unsubscribe links in each and every email. Additionally, subscribers can use the more traditional form of unsubscribing; hit reply and put any number of words in the subject line - in different languages - that imply they wish to be removed.
  • Postal mail address added to each email (e.g. "Write us: F5 Networks, 227 Bellevue Way #250, Bellevue WA USA, 98004"). This address is supplied, checked and managed daily by MediaContactsx staff.
  • Single and double opt-in permission systems, ensuring highly relevant content delivery.
  • The capture and storage of complete permission data, including time-stamping, IP Address, and the URL the data was captured. All of this is in addition to, of course, delivery preferences, topics of interest, filters to weed out unwanted content, and much more.
Universal Anti-Spam Policy
MediaContactsX encourages you to use our service as long as you abide by the MediaContactsX Terms of Service and MediaContactsX's prohibition on spamming and unethical marketing activities. The following are some examples of spamming that may violate the Terms of Service and MediaContactsX's Universal Spam Policy:

 

  • Manipulating identifiers, such as email headers, to disguise the origin of any content transmitted to or through MediaContactsX computer systems.
  • Relaying email from a third party's mail servers without the permission of that third party.
  • Using or causing to be used MediaContactsX computer systems to facilitate the transmission of unsolicited or unauthorized material. This includes any promotional materials, URLs, "junk mail," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," or any other form of unauthorized solicitation that you may upload, post, email, transmit, or otherwise make available.
  • Using "robots" or otherwise harvesting other's email addresses from the MediaContactsX site for purposes of sending unsolicited or unauthorized material.
  • Uploading, posting, emailing, or transmitting the same message, URL, or post multiple times.
  • Disrupting the normal flow of dialogue, or causing the screen to "scroll" faster than other users of the service are able to type, or otherwise acting in a manner that negatively affects other users' ability to engage in real-time exchanges.
Certain MediaContactsX services may have additional spam guidelines explaining appropriate conduct for those services. Those additional policies are incorporated by reference into the MediaContactsX Universal Spam Policy. It is the user's responsibility to check each property's guidelines for additional details regarding spam.

Violations of our Terms of Service or this Universal Spam Policy may result in legal action against you and the termination, without notice, of your MediaContactsX ID and/or anything associated with it. Nothing in this policy is intended to grant any right to transmit email to or through MediaContactsX computer systems. MediaContactsX does not waive any rights by the failure to enforce this policy in every instance in which it might apply.

NOTICE: Sending unsolicited email advertisements to or through MediaContactsX computer systems will use or cause to be used MediaContactsX servers located in California. Any unauthorized use of MediaContactsX computer systems is a violation of the MediaContactsX Terms of Service, Universal Spam Policy, and certain federal and state laws, including the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030 et seq.), Section 502 of the California Penal Code, and Section 17538.45 of the California Business and Professions Code. Such violations may subject the sender and his or her agents to civil and criminal penalties.

Please report violations of this Universal Spam Policy.
