Web Site
Privacy Policy Your privacy We are committed
to protecting your privacy. You have chosen to do business with us,
and we recognize our obligation to keep the information you provide
secure. You can be sure that our commitment to protect your
information will continue under the principles and online guidelines
described below. What
information do we collect? We gather and
analyze data regarding usage of our web site, including domain name,
pages visited, length of user session, etc., as part of our ongoing
site evaluation process. Also, in certain areas of our web site -
such as when you place an order, when you download demo products,
when you fill out a survey and when you enter a contest - you are
required to enter personal information (name, mailing address, email
address, phone number) that allows us to identify you and contact
you (if necessary). If you choose not to provide personal
information, you can still browse most of our web site (the areas
that do not require registration) anonymously. Why do we
collect the information? We collect
information to process and fulfill your order, to notify you of your
order status, to alert you to product upgrades, special offers,
updated information and new services, and to help us create content
most relevant to you. How does
Million Dollar Student LLC protect customer information? All personal
information requested on our web site is transferred across a secure
server. The secure server software (SSL) encrypts all information
you input, making it virtually impossible for anyone other than MDS
to read it. Furthermore, all customer data we collect is protected
against unauthorized access. What about
“cookies”?
To provide
better service and a more effective web site, we use “cookies”
as part of our interaction with your browser. A “cookie” is a
small text file placed on your computer’s hard drive by our web
page server. “Cookies” are commonly used on web sites and do not
harm your system. By configuring your preferences or options in your
browser, you determine if and how a “cookie” will be accepted.
We use “cookies” to determine if you have previously visited our
web site and for a number of administrative purposes. These
“cookies” do not collect personally identifiable information,
and we do not combine information collected through “cookies”
with other personal information to determine who you are or your
email address. Will Million
Dollar Student LLC disclose the information it collects to outside
parties?
The information
we collect is used to improve the content of our web site and to
contact customers for marketing purposes. For example, based on the
information you provide we may decide to inform you of existing MDS
products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. We may
also use the collected information to help develop new products and
services that we think customers may find helpful in the future.
With the goal of bringing you greater convenience and more choices,
we make portions of our customer list available to carefully
screened companies that offer products and services that you also
may enjoy and/or benefit from using. If you do not wish to receive
such offers please let us know by emailing us at info@milliondollarstudent.com.
Please provide us with your exact name and address and we will be
sure your name is removed from the data we share with our business
partners. If you do not want to receive messages from MDS, contact
us and we will remove your name from our in-house list as well. If
you prefer to learn about new offers from MDS through a specific
medium - for example, through the mail - simply let us know your
preference by sending us an email at info@milliondollarstudent.com.
Additionally, we mail an annual notice to all customers on
our mailing list notifying them how, if they so choose, they can
have their names removed from our data base. At any time, customers
can contact us to remove their names from such lists. Keeping
customer information Keeping your
account information accurate and up-to-date is very important. If
you ever find that our records are incomplete, inaccurate or not
current, please email at info@milliondollarstudent.com
and we will correct the information as soon as possible. Public
forums This site makes
chat rooms, forums, message boards and/or news groups available to
its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in
these areas becomes public information and you should exercise
caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. Notice to
parents We do not
knowingly solicit information from children. Likewise, we do not
knowingly market to children. We recognize that protecting
children’s identities and privacy online is important and that the
responsibility to do so rests with both the online industry and with
parents. We encourage you to talk to your children about safe and
responsible use of their personal information while using the
Internet. In summary We are committed
to protecting your privacy. We limit the collection and use of
customer information to the minimum we require to deliver superior
service to our customers, which includes advising our customers
about our products, services and other opportunities, and to
administer our business. To help you benefit from another
company’s product or service, we may share information such as
your name, address, email address, and/or phone number with that
company. We share information only for legitimate business purposes.
In each case, we carefully review the company and the products and
services offered to make sure that they provide value. If we decide to
change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page
so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. If you have any
questions about this privacy statement, the practices of this site,
or your dealings with this web site, please email info@milliondollarstudent.com. © Copyright 2002,2003 The Million Dollar Student™
