PRIVACY POLICY

Children (in many legal jurisdictions, persons under the age of 18, and in others, under the age of 21 – consult your local laws) are not eligible to use this site, and we ask that children not visit this site, not use this site in any way, not register for any access to material on this site, not remain on this site if this site has been accessed by any other person, not browse within this site or submit any personal information to us. By using this site, you (“user” or “you”) warrant that you are an “adult” in your legal jurisdiction and that you are otherwise authorized under the laws of your jurisdiction to access and use this site.

At www.TheMachinesPicks.com (a service of Machines Picks Inc., a Delaware, USA, corporation, referred to below as “MP”), we understand and respect your concerns about the privacy of any information you supply while at our site. We believe that knowledge is the key to monitoring and protecting how your information is used on the Internet. This statement sets forth MP’s Privacy Policy and describes the practices which MP follows with respect to information we receive about visitors to this site.

CHILDREN

Because of their inability to enter legally binding agreements of their own accord, Minors – that is, individuals who are less than 18 years of age in most legal jurisdictions (or 21 years of age in others- please check your local laws about the age of adult status in your jurisdiction) — are not permitted to access TheMachinesPicks.com under any circumstances. If you are a minor, you may not access this site. By using our site, you acknowledge receipt of, and your agreement with, both MP’s Agreement On Terms & Conditions of Use and this Privacy Policy for TheMachinesPicks.com. TheMachinesPicks.com does not assume any responsibility or liability for any misrepresentations regarding a User’s age. In addition, you represent and warrant that you will not allow any minor to have access to this site, and that you will neither copy nor redistribute any of the content appearing on this site. We also ask that Users implement parental control protections, such as computer hardware, software, or filtering services, which would reduce minors’ potential access to TheMachinesPicks.com.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

Users can access limited features of www.TheMachinesPicks.com without disclosing any personal information. In order to access certain content on this site, users must register and agree to certain purchase terms, in return for which the user gains the desired access. During the registration process, you will be asked to submit certain items of “Personally Identifying Information” (defined below), which may include your legal name, your physical address, information relating to payments, and at least one active e-mail address. As used in this Privacy Policy, “Personally Identifying Information” means information that would allow someone else to identify or contact you — such as your name, physical or electronic mail address, telephone number, social security number or any other identifier that permits the physical or online contacting of a specific individual; provided, however, that Personally Identifying Information does not include aggregated information that, by itself, does not permit the identification of individual persons. MP may use Personally Identifying Information for internal purposes (for example, to process transactions, or to send you updates about new content on our site). MP may share your contact information with its affiliated entities to enable them to provide you with special benefits, promotions, or offers from either MP or its affiliates. Personally Identifying Information collected by MP may also be used by us for editorial and feedback purposes, for marketing and promotional purposes, for a statistical analysis of users’ behavior, for website or product development, for content improvement, to inform affiliated entities or advertisers on our site about how many visitors have seen or clicked on their material or advertisements, and to customize content and layout of the www.TheMachinesPicks.com website. Names, postal and e-mail addresses, and phone numbers collected may be added to MP’s databases and used for future calls and mailings regarding site updates and new features. There may be occasions when MP is legally required to provide access to our database in order to cooperate with law enforcement investigations or other legal proceedings. In those instances, the information is provided only for that purpose. In response to such a governmental request, MP and/or its affiliated entities may or may not, in the exercise of our legal, business and civic judgment, give access to the information you provide to the applicable government agencies.

 

In rare circumstances, MP may disclose user information in the good-faith belief that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable, including without limitation to protect the rights or properties of MP (or you), or when we have reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing interference with our (or your) rights or properties, whether intentionally or otherwise, or when anyone else (including you) could be harmed by such activities. In addition, if MP and/or substantially all of its assets are acquired, our user information will most likely be transferred to the acquiring party in connection with the acquisition.


MP may also profile your activity on our website in order accurately to provide you with information, products and services that correspond to your interests. We may also compile data in aggregate form so that we may better understand those who are visiting or using our site. For example, we may produce reports on the most popular search terms on our site by collecting general search term data based on individual searches. Aggregate data is anonymous and does not contain any personal information that identifies you or any other user. 

 

You have the ability to automatically review and change the Personally Identifying Information you submit to our website by logging onto www.TheMachinesPicks.com and altering your Personal Profile data. You may review the contents of any of your Personally Identifying Information collected at our website by contacting us at Info@themachinespicks.com. MP will use reasonable efforts to remove your Personally Identifying Information from our website at any time upon your written request to Info@themachinespicks.com. Such removal of Personally Identifying Information may not ensure 100% removal of such Personally Identifying Information from our business records. For example, such Personally Identifying Information may remain in MP’s archival or backup copies of the www.TheMachinesPicks.com site.

 

We will retain your personal information in our databases in accordance with our document management, retention and destruction policy, and applicable laws. This period may extend beyond the end of your relationship with MP, but it will be only as long as it is necessary for us to have sufficient information to respond to any issues that may arise later. For example, we may need or be required to retain information to allow you to obtain future credit. We may also need to retain certain information to prevent fraudulent activity; to protect ourselves (or you) against liability; permit us to pursue available remedies or limit any damages that we (or you) may sustain; or if we believe in good faith that a law, regulation, rule or guideline requires it.

MP may occasionally monitor and review information (including Personally Identifying Information) transmitted or received through our website, or through telephone or email communications, for quality assurance and other purposes. For example, we must reserve the right to censor, edit, remove, or prohibit the transmission or receipt of any data that MP deems inappropriate, or which is in violation of any of the terms and conditions applicable to your use of our website. During this monitoring, the information may be examined, recorded, and/or copied.
