We do not, however, knowingly collect personal information from persons under the age of eighteen.

Web Site Usage Information: We automatically collect IP addresses and Web site usage information from you when you visit the Services. This information helps us evaluate how our visitors and subscribers use and navigate our Web sites, including the number and frequency of visitors and subscribers to each Web page, and the length of their visits.
How we use information
We may use information in the following ways:
- For the purposes for which you specifically provided the information including, for example, enabling us to process, validate and verify online equipment and supply purchases.
- To send you e-mail notifications about our new or existing products and services, special offers, or to otherwise contact you.

These other companies may be supplied with or have access to your personally identifiable information solely for the purpose of providing these services to us or on our behalf.
Our registration forms require users to give us contact information that may include name, email address, format preference (HTML vs. Text), address, interests, and similar information. We do not request or store sensitive information from our visitors, such as credit card or social security numbers.
For those submitting an online form, the information is used to for communications via the mail, internet or phone call, as well as to provide service or process repair requests.
A person can opt out of these communications at any time by checking the “please remove my name from your email list” option contained in every email or by contacting us by email (info@mphindustries.com) and asking to be removed from future correspondence.
The information we collect is not shared with anyone other than the companies which MPH Industries has partnered with to sell our products.
We may disclose and use personally identifiable information in special circumstances where it is necessary to enforce our Terms and Conditions of Sales or Terms of Use (for example, when necessary to protect our intellectual property rights). We may also disclose or use your personal information when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires us to do so.
Third party and corporate subscriptions
If your access to the Services is provided by your employer or a third party, we may notify your employer or that third party when you access the Services. In doing so, we may reveal limited amounts of your personally identifiable information such as your name or email address. In some cases, your employer or the third party providing your access may provide us with limited amounts of personal information about you to facilitate your access to the Services and so that we may identify you when providing it with user and usage information.
We may make content or services from other Web sites including our affiliated or co-branded Web sites available to you from links located on the Services. These other Web sites are not subject to this Privacy Policy. We recommend that you review the privacy policy at each such Web site to determine how that site protects your privacy.
