"Cookies" are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer by a Web site for the purpose of facilitating and enhancing your communication and interaction with that Web site. Cookies make web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you are at the site. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and as such, you'll find them at most major Web sites.

TheMIGroup uses cookies to maintain session information and to enhance the speed of this Web site by reducing the number of times you retrieve similar information.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. While you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies (or indicate when a cookie is being sent) disabling cookies will prevent access to the site. Most cookies expire after a defined period of time, and you can delete your cookie files at any time.

What Happens When You Link to a Third-Party Site?

This site contains links to third-party Web sites. For example, if a user "clicks" on an external link the "click" may transfer the user off TheMIGroup site. These other sites may include sites of advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use TheMIGroup's logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit Information.

Such linked sites are not under the control of TheMIGroup, and we are not responsible for the terms of use, policies or contents of any linked site, or any link contained in a linked site. TheMIGroup has provided these links as a convenience. TheMIGroup's inclusion of links to these sites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such sites or any association with their operators. TheMIGroup's policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, which is beyond TheMIGroup's control.

We urge you to review the terms of use and privacy policy of any linked site before sharing any Personally Identifiable Information with them. Please keep in mind that whenever you give out information online (for example, via message boards or chat) that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While TheMIGroup strives to protect Customers' Personal Information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online, and you disclose such information at your own risk.

How We Protect Your Information

The security for all Information associated with our users is of utmost concern to us. We exercise commercially reasonable care in providing for secure transmission of your Personal Information between your PC and our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, TheMIGroup can't ensure or warrant the security of any Information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, TheMIGroup uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your Information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.

In the event you cease to be a user of ours for any reason, we will maintain and disclose your Information consistent with the privacy policies and practices that apply to our then current users.

Correction/Access

We make efforts to ensure the accuracy of Personal Information we use to fulfill your requests and for purposes for which you have consented, and to correct and update our database as necessary for the stated purpose. In the event a Customer notifies us that such Personal Information held by TheMIGroup is inaccurate or outdated, where appropriate and upon notification and sufficient time for verification, we will take all reasonable steps to correct any inaccuracy or update outdated information of which we are made aware. In addition, we will update Personal Information we store and provide it to the third parties described in this Policy when you indicate the information has changed, such as changes of address or e-mail address, (a) in response to your request and/or (b) in order to fulfill the purpose for which such Personal Information was collected, and/or as otherwise required by law.

You may request access to your Personal Information in our possession by writing to us at the address provided above. We establish and maintain a file of Personal Information for each Customer. Your file will be kept at an MI controlled facility, with our service provider(s) and/or our third party storage facility and only authorized employees and agents of TheMIGroup who require access to your Personal Information to fulfill their job requirements will have access to your file. If you wish to access your file or make corrections to it, please contact us as described above. In some limited circumstances, we may not be able to grant you access to your Personal Information, for example if doing so would threaten the security of another individual.
