MLG processes PII only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this privacy policy or any applicable service agreements. We require our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the PII needed to provide or improve our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the PII we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or collect their PII whenever necessary.

It is important to us that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

To enable internal record keeping.

8. Information security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of PII. However, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your PII, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We limit access to PII about you to employees, contractors and service providers who we believe reasonably need to come into contacts with that PII. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
We have physical, electronic, and procedural security measures and safeguards in place to reasonably protect PII. Our servers and our databases are protected by industry standard security technology, such as industry standard firewalls and password protection.
Although we cannot guarantee any loss, misuse, unauthorized disclosure, alteration or destruction of data we try to prevent such unfortunate occurrences, including by implementing corporate procedures in this regard. If you have reason to believe that your use of our services is no longer secure, please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us.

In some cases, your data may be transferred internationally, or outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Our external third-party service providers may be based outside the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. When we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is adequately protected and transferred in line with data protection laws.

9. Data security and encryption

Data security is of utmost importance to us. We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed.

Our storage and database solutions have custom security rules to prevent external access from any party except our development teams. However, we have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you or any applicable parties of a breach when we are legally required to do so.

9. Data retention

We strive to maintain the reliability, accuracy and completeness of PII that we collect and to protect the privacy and security of our users.

We keep your PII only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with any applicable legal or ethical reporting or document retention requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period of time in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

10. Information sharing

MLG is a worldwide service. By providing any PII to us pursuant to this privacy policy all users fully understand and unambiguously consent to this privacy policy and to the collection and processing of such PII. Some of the uses and disclosures mentioned in this privacy policy may involve the transfer of your PII to various countries around the world that may have different levels of privacy protection than your country.

We take additional measures when information is transferred from the EEA. This includes having standard clauses approved by the European Commission in our contracts with parties that receive information outside the EEA. We also rely on European Commission adequacy decisions about certain countries, as applicable, for data transfers to countries outside the EEA. By submitting your PII, you consent, acknowledge, and agree that we may collect, use, transfer, and disclose your PII as described in this privacy policy.

Nevertheless, the company only shares PII with other companies or individuals in the following limited circumstances:

We require that these parties agree to process such PII based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy policy, any applicable laws and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures,

If we become involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of our assets or in the event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally, you will be notified on a best efforts basis via email and/or a prominent notice on our website, of any change in ownership, uses of your PII, and choices you may have regarding your PII. In any of the circumstances above, your PII will continue to be used in accordance with this privacy Policy.
We obtain assurances from our agents that they will safeguard PII through measures consistent with this privacy policy and further privacy measures and protocols.
