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. The following is our Privacy Policy, both online and offline, for
the Asia Pacific Region, including Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore.
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 Website.
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 Website, 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 Website. 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 Websites, 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 Website 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 Website, 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 Websites 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 Website, 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 Website for a reasonable period of time.
