Privacy Policy - Asia Pacific

Online and offline Asia Pacific Region, including Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore

Introduction

We at TheMIGroup are committed to respecting your online privacy and recognize your need for the appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") you share with us. Following is our Privacy Policy, both online and offline, for the Asia Pacific Region, including Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore. For our Privacy Policy applicable to other global regions, click here: USA, Canada, and EMEA.

TheMIGroup has established this Privacy Policy so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your Personal Information.

Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address, and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit TheMIGroup's Web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself.

If you choose to provide us with your Personal Information on the Web, we may transfer that Personal Information within TheMIGroup or to TheMIGroup's third-party service providers, including locations across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.

TheMIGroup strives to comply with all applicable laws worldwide that are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal requirements may vary from country to country, TheMIGroup intends to adhere to the principles set forth in this Privacy Policy even if, in connection with the above, we transfer your Personal Information from your country to countries that may not require an "adequate" level of protection for your Personal Information. In other words, our goal is to provide protection for your Personal Information no matter where that Personal Information is collected, transferred, or retained.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

Some of our Web pages utilize "cookies" and other tracking technologies. A "cookie" is a small text file that may be used, for example, to collect information about Web-site activity. Some cookies and other technologies may serve to recall Personal Information previously indicated by a Web user. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether to accept them and how to remove them.

You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser; but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of the Web site.

Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names, Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser software and operating system types, click stream patterns, and dates and times that our site is accessed. Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our Web site, as well as your Web experience. We may also analyze information that does not contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.

To protect your privacy, we have adopted the following principles:
• Notice
• Choice
• Security
• Access/Accuracy

Notice

We primarily use Personal Information about you for purposes of facilitating your relocation or temporary assignment. Those uses may include providing information to real estate brokers and agents (for home purchase and/or rental housing), temporary housing providers, home inspectors, appraisers, mortgage companies, closing services providers, moving companies, freight forwarders, intercultural training providers, spousal assistance providers, language trainers, and/or visa and immigration service providers. In addition, we may, at times, ask you to update or confirm a subset of that information on this Web site. To do this, you may be asked to register to use this site. Your Personal Information will be used solely for the purpose of providing services to you in accordance with our contracts with our clients. In addition, we may collect Personal Information from client and potential client contacts. That Personal Information may be used by TheMIGroup to market our services to those clients and potential clients.

TheMIGroup may disclose Personal Information for certain general business purposes, including the following: (1) when we have reason to believe that disclosing Personal Information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating TheMIGroup's terms of use or terms of service, or who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with any of TheMIGroup's rights or property, other MI Customers ("Customer"), or anyone else; (2) when we believe, in good faith, that the law permits it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services;

In addition, where TheMIGroup collects Personal Information on the Web, we intend to post a purpose statement that explains why Personal Information will be collected, the categories of persons with whom we intend to share Personal Information, and whether we plan to share such Personal Information outside of either TheMIGroup or those working on TheMIGroup's behalf. TheMIGroup does not intend to transfer Personal Information, without your consent, to third parties who are not bound to act on TheMIGroup's behalf unless such transfer is legally required.

Choice

You may choose whether to provide Personal Information to TheMIGroup. The notice we intend to provide, where TheMIGroup collects Personal Information on the Web, should help you make this choice. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information that we request, you can still visit most of TheMIGroup's Web sites; but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services that involve our interaction with you.

If you choose to have a relationship with TheMIGroup, such as a contractual or other business relationship or partnership, we will naturally continue to contact you in connection with that business relationship.

Security

Wherever your Personal Information may be held within TheMIGroup or on its behalf, we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the Personal Information that you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.

Access/Accuracy

To the extent that you do provide us with Personal Information, TheMIGroup wishes to maintain accurate Personal Information. Where we collect Personal Information from you on the Web, our goal is to provide a means of contacting TheMIGroup should you need to update or correct that Personal Information. If, for any reason, those means are unavailable or inaccessible, you may send updates and corrections about your Personal Information to privacy@themigroup.com or to Joël Gonzalez, Privacy Officer, TheMIGroup, 118 Algonquin Parkway, Whippany, NJ 07981-1602, and we will make reasonable efforts to incorporate, as soon as possible, the changes in your Personal Information that we hold.

Third-Party Services

Third parties provide, on TheMIGroup's behalf, certain services that are available on themigroup.com. TheMIGroup may provide information, including Personal Information that TheMIGroup collects, to third-party service providers in order to help us deliver programs, products, information, and services. Service providers are also an important means by which TheMIGroup maintains its Web site and mailing lists. TheMIGroup will take reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service providers are obligated to protect Personal Information on TheMIGroup's behalf.

TheMIGroup does not intend, without your consent, to transfer Personal Information to third parties who are not bound to act on TheMIGroup's behalf unless such transfer is legally required. Similarly, it is against TheMIGroup's policy to sell, without consent, Personal Information collected online.

Children's Privacy

Our Web site, themigroup.com, is not structured to attract children. Accordingly, we do not intend to collect Personal Information from anyone we know to be under 13 years of age.

Commitment

We are committed to privacy and, through our membership in the Online Privacy Alliance, are actively involved in and support current industry initiatives to preserve individual privacy rights on the Internet. Protecting your privacy online is an evolving area, and TheMIGroup's Web sites are constantly evolving to meet these demands.

If you have any comments or questions regarding our Online Privacy Policy, please contact us at privacy@themigroup.com. While we cannot guarantee privacy perfection, we will address any issue to the best of our abilities and as soon as possible.

Your Consent

By using this Web site, you consent to the terms of our Privacy Policy and to TheMIGroup's processing of Personal Information for the purposes stated above, as well as those explained where TheMIGroup collects Personal Information on the Web. Should our Privacy Policy change, we intend to take every reasonable step to ensure that these changes are brought to your attention by posting all changes prominently on our Web site for a reasonable period of time.
