Mercury Technology is committed to safeguarding Your privacy online and we strive to make this Internet site ("Site") as
safe and secure as reasonably possible. In order to address Your most frequently asked questions, we've organized our
privacy policy statement in a question and answer format.
If You have any questions after reading this statement,
sales@mercurytechnology.com).
What information does Mercury Technology collect?
For Site users ("Clients"), during registration we ask for personal information including Your name, company name,
address, zip/postal code, email address, phone and job function, as well as other personal information. If You contact Mercury Technology, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
In addition, Mercury Technology reserves the right to collect information about You in general, which does not necessarily
identify You, using our server log files and some of the methods described under "cookies" below.
What about Mercury Technology's linked sites?
This Site may contain links to other Web sites. In the event that You obtain products and/or services from these other
Web sites, You may be on another company's Web site. When ordering, registering for or purchasing products or services
from these Web sites, You will be entering into an agreement with that Web site and not with Mercury Technology. In these
cases, this privacy policy does not apply; instead, the privacy policy of the Web site actually providing the goods or
services will apply. We urge You to read and understand the privacy policies of other Web sites before entering into
agreements with them. We are committed to associating with companies that share our privacy concerns. Mercury Technology,
however, cannot control the way these other Web sites collect or use information.
Also, when You click through to a Web site linked from this Site, those Web sites may use cookies or other means to
collect information about You. Again, Mercury Technology's privacy policy does not apply to those Web sites; instead, the
privacy policy of the Web site that You visit will apply.
If You have questions about the privacy policies of other Web sites linked from our Site, we encourage You to contact
those other Web sites directly.
Why does Mercury Technology gather this information?
Mercury Technology's primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide You with a customized experience. This
includes personalization services, interactive communications, online commerce, and many other types of services. By
knowing a little about You, Mercury Technology is able to deliver better service and more relevant content to our individual
Site users.
How does Mercury Technology use my information?
With respect to Clients, Mercury Technology uses Your information to enable You to take advantage of the features available
through the Site. Once You register, You are no longer anonymous to Mercury Technology: You are given a User Account and are able to take full advantage of Mercury Technology's many offerings. Additional information You volunteer
enables us to better customize Your experience. We may also use Your contact information to reach You regarding important
issues about the use of our service. We use other information we collect to get a better understanding of our Clients.
The more insight we have about You, the people who use the Site on a daily basis, the better we can serve You. Therefore, we
analyze our users' use of the Site based on the information provided to us through our Site. Such other information that
we collect through Your use of the Site and analysis thereof is done on an aggregate basis, and is not intended to identify
individual Clients.
We use information that we collect from You when You email us for the sole purpose of corresponding with You. Mercury Technology reserves the right to keep records of any correspondence and information provided by You.
With whom, and how, does Mercury Technology share my information?
Mercury Technology uses information that it gathers from You only for internal business purposes. This information is not
shared with any other entities or individuals. Mercury Technologymay disclose information in special cases when we have
reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against
someone who may be violating Mercury Technology's Terms of Use. The same policy applies in cases where we believe an individual
may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Mercury Technology's rights or
property, other Site users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Mercury Technology may disclose or access
account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes
that we deem necessary to maintain, service and improve our products and services. Mercury Technology may also display entity
names as part of the registration process to facilitate an individual registrant's affiliation with the correct entity.
What are my choices regarding the use of my information?
When You access parts of the Site, You can choose whether or not You want to receive information from us. If You want to
receive information from us, please be sure to indicate that You do when You are prompted. You also may have choices about
whether You want to receive information when You visit and provide information to other Web sites, including sites accessible
through this Site. Mercury Technology does not take any responsibility for information You may or may not receive from other
Web sites.
What are "cookies" and how does Mercury Technology use them?
A "cookie" is a small amount of data that is sent to Your browser from a Web server and gets saved on Your computer hard
drive temporarily. These cookie files store and sometimes track information about what You do on the Site. This information
makes it possible for us to offer and provide highly customized services.
Generally, we use, or may use in the future, cookies to:
- Remind us of who You are and to access Your profile (stored on our computers) in order to deliver to You a better and
more personalized service. These cookies are usually set when You provide us with information about You and are modified
when You "Log Out" of the Site.
- Estimate our audience size. Each user accessing the Site can be given a unique cookie which is then used to determine
the extent of repeat usage and, in the future, may be used to help target information updates or advertisements based on
user interests and behavior.
- Assist Mercury Technology to track visits to the Site. This information collected by cookies is sometimes called "clickstream"
or "click trail" and may also describe which pages You have seen in each section of the Site.
- Measure certain traffic patterns. Determine which areas of the Site You have visited and Your visiting patterns in the
aggregate. We may use this research to understand how our users' habits are similar or different from one another so that
we can make each new experience on Mercury Technology a better one. We may use this information to better personalize the
content, banners, and information that You and other users will see on our Site.
I'd rather not have cookies stored on My computer. Is there any way to work around them?
By modifying Your browser preferences You can choose to accept all cookies, be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all
cookies. The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell You how to do this. If You choose to reject all cookies,
however, You may be unable to use potions of the Mercury Technology system.
I am a Client and want to cancel my Mercury Technology web site account. How can I do so?
Your Mercury Technology web site account can be terminated at anytime by providing Mercury Technology with written, email or telephone
notification of Your desire to terminate Your account. Once You do so, however, You won't be able to access any Client-only
area of the Site.
If You have any questions about this process, email us at <%= AppParam.getEmailSupportLink() %> (be sure to include provide Your Mercury Technology Username and Password).
What kinds of security precautions are in place to protect my information from hackers or prying eyes?
Your Mercury Technology account is password protected so that You - and only select Mercury Technology administration personnel - have
access. We recommend that You do not divulge Your password to anyone. Also remember to sign out of Your Mercury Technology account
and close Your browser indow when You have finished Your work. This is to prevent others from accessing Your personal
information if You share a computer with someone else or use a workstation in a public place. It may on occasion be necessary
for Mercury Technology employees or contractors working on behalf of Mercury Technology to have access to Your profile to provide You
with support or to perform certain maintenance tasks. This access happens on an as-needed basis only.
We use security technology to ensure that Your personal data remains private within the Site. While no data transmission over
the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, Mercury Technology strives to protect Your personal information, but cannot
ensure or warrant the security of any information You transmit to us or from our online products or services.
What else should I know about my privacy?
As Mercury Technology expands its offerings, we will update our Privacy Policy to address these changes. Please check this page
on a regular basis for updates to this Privacy Policy. We will make reasonable efforts to alert You to any changes in this
Privacy Policy by posting the fact that it has been "updated" conspicuously on the Site.
In addition, information we obtain from voluntary programs such as surveys, promotions and contests may be subject to
additional or different terms, or may be used in a slightly different way. If different terms do apply, details of the use
of this information will be outlined in the specific terms and conditions or rules of these special surveys, promotions or
contests. Please be sure to read those specific terms and conditions or rules because they may alter what is written in this
Privacy Policy on a case-by-case basis.
Please keep in mind that whenever You voluntarily disclose personal information online--for example on message boards, through
email or in chat areas--that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if You post personal information online
that is accessible to the public, You may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Ultimately, You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of Your personal information, passwords or profiles.
Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
