Information Collection and Use

M3 collects personally identifiable information when you visit the site’s pages or when you voluntarily provide information to M3 through the site. The site automatically logs information about you from your browser when you visit the site, such as your IP address, the pages you visit and similar information. You may also choose to voluntarily provide us with information about you at various places on the site. Personal information which we may ask you to provide includes your name, location, e-mail address, company affiliation, telephone number, and other similar information.

This site may place and access cookies when you visit the site. A cookie is a small data file that websites commonly write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file contains information that can identify you each time you visit the site. This site uses cookies as a way to measure activity and traffic patterns on the site. You may choose to set your computer to reject cookies if you desire.

From time-to-time M3’s website may request additional information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose additional information that may be requested. Information requested via surveys and contests may include additional demographic information.

M3 may use the information collected through this site to send you information and promotional material, to process your requests for information or services, or to customize the site for your future visits.

Sharing and Disclosure

M3 is not in the business of selling or renting your personally identifiable information. M3 may share information about you with others under the following circumstances:

• When necessary to third parties who work for M3
• In order to process your requests or provide you information when you consent to disclosure
• By operation of law, when such information is transferred as a part of a sale of assets including the assets represented by this site
• To comply with law, court orders, subpoena or legal process; or to enforce or apply M3’s agreements or protect M3’s rights or the rights or property of third parties
• In the event that M3 or substantially all of its assets are acquired outside of the ordinary course of business, your information may be one of the transferred assets
• To protect the security and integrity of the site
• To correct technical problems and malfunctions in how the site operates or processes visitors’ information

Linked Sites

It is important to note that M3’s website contains links to other websites and that those other websites may not follow the same privacy policies as M3. For instance, if you click an ad on our website, this may take you away from our site to an entirely different website. This includes links from advertisers, content providers and trade partners who may use our logo and/or style as part of a co-branding agreement. These other websites may collect data from you that M3 would not and may use that data in ways that M3 would not.

Security

This site takes precautions to protect your personally identifiable information. In certain areas of the site, your information may be protected using industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also take steps to protect user information offline. All of our users’ information is restricted in our offices.

Correcting and Deleting Information

If the information you have given M3 changes and you would like to modify it or if you would like to view the information M3 has about you, send your request to the following location. In addition, if you wish to remove information about yourself from M3’s files, use the Contact M3 form or send an email to the address listed on the site. With any request, provide M3 with a means to identify you and contact you if necessary. M3 will respond to appropriate requests within a reasonable time.

Children

M3 does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under 13 years old through the site. However, if the parent or guardian of a child under 13 believes that the child has provided M3 with personally identifiable information, the parent or guardian of that child should contact us through the contact information provided on this page if they want this information deleted from M3’s files. If M3 obtains knowledge that it has personally identifiable information about a child under 13 in retrievable form in our files, M3 will delete that information from existing files. In addition, anyone under 18 years old should seek their parent’s or guardian’s permission prior to using or disclosing any personal information on the site.

European Union

The European Union’s Directive on Data Protection sets forth certain adequacy standards for data protection involving the personal information that is transferred from the European Union to the United States. The U.S. and E.U. have entered into a “Safe Harbor” that allows U.S. entities receiving personal information from the E.U. to comply with the European Union’s Directive. M3 has satisfied the requirements of the Safe Harbor Principles and has certified that compliance with the U. S. Department of Commerce.
