Mikkel Technologies LLC ("Company" or "we" or "us" or "our") respects the privacy of its users ("user" or "you") who use our website (the "Website"). This Privacy Policy is designed to inform you about the types of information that Company may gather about or collect from you in connection with your use of the Website. It also explains the conditions under which Company uses and discloses that information, and your rights in relation to it.
Each time you use the Website, the current version of this Privacy Policy will apply. Accordingly, each time you use the Website you should check the date of this Privacy Policy and review any changes since the last time you used the Website.
The Website is hosted in the United States of America and is subject to U.S. state and federal law. If you are accessing our Website from other jurisdictions, please be advised that you are transferring your personal information to us in the United States, and by using the Website you consent to that transfer and use in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
BY USING OR ACCESSING THE WEBSITE, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE PRACTICES DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
"Non-Personally-Identifying Information" is information that, without the aid of additional information, cannot be directly associated with a specific person. Like most website operators, Company gathers Non-Personally-Identifying Information of the sort that web browsers, depending on their settings, may make available. That information includes the user's Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type, and the locations of websites the user views right before arriving at, while navigating, and immediately after leaving the Website. Company analyzes this information to help better understand how the Website is being used.
A "Web Cookie" is a string of information that a website stores on a user's computer and that the user's browser provides to the website each time the user submits a query. We use cookies on the Website to keep track of services you have used, to record user preferences, and to facilitate session continuity. Company also uses Web Cookies to track pages that users visit during each session to help improve users' experiences. USERS WHO DO NOT WISH TO HAVE WEB COOKIES PLACED ON THEIR COMPUTERS SHOULD SET THEIR BROWSERS TO REFUSE WEB COOKIES BEFORE ACCESSING THE WEBSITE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT CERTAIN FEATURES MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT WEB COOKIES.
A "Web Beacon" is an object embedded in a web page or email that is usually invisible to the user and allows website operators to check whether a user has viewed a particular web page or email. Company may use Web Beacons on the Website and in emails to count users who have visited particular pages, viewed emails, and to compile aggregated statistics about Website usage. Web Beacons collect only a limited set of information, including a cookie number, time and date of a page or email view, and a description of the page or email. You cannot decline Web Beacons; however, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all Web Cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a Web Cookie is tendered.
We may use third-party analytics vendors, including Google, who use first-party and third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and serve content based on your past activity on the Website. The information collected may be used to analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand online activity. If you do not want information to be collected and used by Google Analytics, you can install an opt-out in your web browser.
We may share aggregated Non-Personally-Identifying Information we collect with third parties and our affiliate companies to develop and deliver content on the Website and on third-party websites. This information does not contain any Personally-Identifying Information and may be used to develop website content and services.
We may provide you the option to connect your account on the Website to your account on certain social networking sites for the purpose of logging in or enabling certain features. When logging in using social network credentials, we may collect Personally-Identifying Information you have made publicly available on the social networking site. Once connected, other users may be able to see information about your social network. By connecting your account, you consent to the continuous release of information about you to us. We will not send any account information to the connected social networking site without first disclosing that to you.
We may use hyperlinks on the Website that redirect you to a social network. However, when you click on a social plug-in, that social network's plugin will be activated and your browser will directly connect to that provider's servers. If you do not use these buttons, none of your data will be sent to the respective social network's plugin provider.
"Personally-Identifying Information" is information that can be directly associated with a specific person. Company may collect a range of Personally-Identifying Information from and about Website users, including but not limited to your name, address, email address, and telephone number. If you transact business with us, we may also collect financial information such as payment method details. Users of the Website are under no obligation to provide Company with Personally-Identifying Information, with the caveat that a refusal to do so may prevent the user from using certain Website features.
BY USING THE WEBSITE, YOU CONSENT TO THE USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION.
We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services or updates that we think you may find valuable. We may also send you service-related announcements through the general operation of the service. You may generally opt out of such emails, though we reserve the right to send you notices about your account and service announcements.
Company will disclose Personally-Identifying Information under the following circumstances:
Company uses Personally-Identifying Information to: (1) deliver the products and services that you have requested; (2) manage your account and provide customer support; (3) communicate with you about products or services that may be of interest; (4) develop and display content tailored to your interests; (5) resolve disputes and troubleshoot problems; (6) measure consumer interest in our services; (7) inform you of updates; (8) customize your experience; (9) detect and protect against fraud and other criminal activity; (10) enforce our Terms of Use; and (11) do as otherwise described to you at the time of collection.
Company contractually prohibits its contractors, affiliates, vendors, and suppliers from disclosing Personally-Identifying Information received from Company other than in accordance with this Privacy Policy. However, third parties are under no obligation to comply with this Privacy Policy with respect to Personally-Identifying Information that users provide directly to those third parties or that those third parties collect for themselves. Before visiting a third party or using a third-party application, users should inform themselves of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that website or application.
We take the security of your Personally-Identifying Information seriously and use reasonable electronic, personnel, and physical measures to protect it from loss, theft, alteration, or misuse. However, please be advised that even the best security measures cannot fully eliminate all risks. We cannot guarantee that only authorized persons will view your information. We are not responsible for third-party circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures.
We are dedicated to protecting all information on the Website as is necessary. However, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any personal credentials. If you believe someone has gained unauthorized access to your account or information, you should notify us immediately.
Company may, in its sole discretion, change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any and all changes will be reflected on this page and the date new versions are posted will be stated at the top of this Privacy Policy. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you. Users should regularly check this page for any changes.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") protects the online privacy of children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or maintain Personally-Identifying Information from anyone under the age of 13, unless or except as permitted by law. Any person who provides Personally-Identifying Information through the Website represents to us that he or she is 13 years of age or older. If we learn that Personally-Identifying Information has been collected from a user under 13 years of age on or through the Website, we will take the appropriate steps to cause this information to be deleted. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 who has transferred Personally-Identifying Information to the Website, please contact us to have that information deleted.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the "Shine The Light" law, permits California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about the Personally-Identifying Information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to our privacy officer as listed below.
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. The Website currently responds to DNT browser signals and mechanisms.
