The information may also be processed by staff who work for us, our affiliates, or our service providers, and who are located outside of the country or economic area (including the EEA) in which you reside.

We use this information to help us understand how people use Properties, and to enhance the products and services we offer.
COOKIES
We may use “cookies” to keep, and sometimes track, analytics and information about you. Cookies are small data files that are sent to your browser or related software from a web server and stored on your computer’s or mobile device’s hard drive. Cookies track where you travel on the Properties and what you look at and purchase. They may store the information in your shopping cart, wish list and/or your username and/or password. A cookie may enable us to relate your use of the Properties to other information about you, including your Personal Information. All of these purposes serve to improve and personalize your experience on the Properties, to determine which areas and features of the Properties are most popular, and to make improvements and updates to enhance the Properties experience.
If you do not wish to have cookies on your system, you can set your browser preferences to refuse them or to alert you when cookies are being sent. To disable cookies, please consult your browser’s “help” section for instructions.

However, refusing a cookie may, in some cases, preclude you from using, or negatively impact the display or function of, the Properties or certain areas or features of the Properties including preventing you from purchasing products from the Properties.
CLEAR GIFS
We may use “clear GIFs” (aka “web beacons” or “pixel tags”) or similar technologies, in the Properties and/or in our communications with you to enable us to know whether you have visited a web page or received a message. A clear GIF is typically a one-pixel, transparent image (although it can be a visible image as well), located on a web page or in an e-mail or other type of message, which is retrieved from a remote site on the Internet enabling the verification of an individual’s viewing or receipt of a web page or message. A clear gif may enable us to relate your viewing or receipt of a web page or message to other information about you, including your Personal Information.
IP ADDRESS AND CLICKSTREAM DATA
Our server automatically collects data about your server’s Internet address when you visit us. This information, known as an Internet Protocol address, or IP Address, is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider whenever you are on the Internet. When you request pages from the Properties, our servers may log your IP Address, domain name, location, language preferences and other aggregate information. Our servers may also record the referring page that linked you to us (e.g., another website or a search engine); the pages you visit on the Properties; the website you visit after the Properties; the ads you see and/or click on; your product interests and purchases; other information about the type of web browser, computer, platform, related software and settings you are using; any search terms you have entered on the Properties or a referral site; and other web usage activity and data logged by our web servers. We use this information for internal system administration, to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer the Properties. Such information may also be used to gather broad demographic information, such as country of origin and Internet Service Provider. We may also link this information with your Personal Information. Any or all of these activities with regard to website Usage Information may be performed on our behalf by our services providers.
HOW IS THE PERSONAL INFORMATION USED?
We will use the Personal Information you provide to the Properties, for example, to respond to your requests and to provide you with our product and service offerings. For example, we will process your orders, respond to your requests and inquiries and provide you with the products, services and features offered on or through the Properties. We may also use your Personal Information to help us develop and improve the Properties, tailor the Properties to your interests, and maintain our internal record keeping. We may match information collected from you through different means or at different times, including both Personal Information and Usage Information, and use such information along with information obtained from other sources, including third parties. In addition, we may send you notices (for example, in the form of e-mails, mailings, and the like), and otherwise correspond with you, about products, services, companies, promotions, contests and events, sponsored by us and others, that we think might interest you. We may offer electronic newsletters and e-mails as a service to our users. You will only receive a newsletter or promotional e-mail from us if you agree during your activities on or through the Properties, or using our newsletter sign up form, to receive these items. Unsubscribe instructions are included in each electronic newsletter and e-mail. You may opt-out of receiving such notices from us by following the instructions in the Right to Opt Out section above, or by submitting a request through the “Contact Us” feature on our website or Properties. We may analyze user behavior as a measure of interest in, and use of, the Properties and e-mails, both on an individual basis and in the aggregate. We may also use the Personal Information for fraud protection or credit risk reduction.

In those situations, unless you instruct us otherwise, the information we obtain from you in connection with such contest, sweepstake or offering may be shared with our co-sponsor and in accordance with any specific terms disclosed in such contest or sweepstakes. In those situations, our co-sponsors will have the right to use your information for their own purposes, in accordance with their own policies and in particular in accordance with any specific disclosures made to you at the time you participate in such contest or sweepstakes.

We require our service providers to maintain the confidentiality of your Personal Information.
AGGREGATE STATISTICS
We may disclose aggregate statistics regarding user behavior as a measure of interest in, and use of, the Properties and e-mails to third parties in the form of aggregate data, such as overall patterns or demographic reports that do not describe or identify any individual user. Aggregate information is non-personally identifiable/anonymous information about you, such as age, gender, types of products purchased, pages you access most frequently or search terms you enter. Aggregate information is used in a collective manner, and no single person can be identified by that compiled information.
LEGALLY COMPELLED DISCLOSURES

We also may disclose user information when we have reason to believe that someone is causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, other users of the Properties, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We cooperate with law enforcement inquiries and other third parties to enforce laws, intellectual property rights and other rights.
BUSINESS TRANSFER
In the event that we, any entity of the Maxima Group, or substantially all of its assets, are acquired by one or more third parties as a result of an acquisition, merger, sale, reorganization, consolidation or liquidation, Personal Information may be one of the transferred assets.
THIRD PARTY AD SERVERS
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Properties. If so, a list of these ad serving companies will be available here. These companies may use information (generally not including your name, address email address or telephone number) about your visits to the Properties and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. These companies may employ cookies and clear gifs to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and clear gifs is generally not personally identifiable (unless, for example, you provide personally identifiable information to them through an ad or e-mail message). We encourage you to read these businesses’ privacy policies if you should have any concerns about how they will care for your Personal Information. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies and to opt out, see the Network Advertising Initiative’s consumer website at www.networkadvertising.org/consumer-education.

If the email address you provide to us is a wireless email address, you agree to receive messages at such address from us and the rest of the Maxima Group (unless and until you have elected not to receive such messages by following the instructions in the Right to Opt Out section above). You understand that your wireless carrier’s standard rates apply to these messages, and that you may change your mind at any time by following the instructions in the Right to Opt Out section above. You represent that you are the owner or authorized user of the wireless device on which messages will be received, and that you are authorized to approve the applicable charges.
YOUR ACCESS RIGHTS
You may review the Personal Information that is stored in your user account on maximagroupltd.com by logging in at “My Account”, or by contacting our customer service department. We will send you a copy of the Personal Information we have on file in your user account (if any). You may provide us new or updated information at any time. We will endeavor to respond to your request to access, update or delete your information as soon as practicable. Before we are able to provide you with any information, correct any inaccuracies or delete any information, however, we may ask you to verify your identity and to provide other details to help us to respond to your request.
SECURITY
Protecting your information is a priority for us. We will take reasonable steps to protect the security and integrity of all Personal Information provided to the Properties. For example, we use industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your sensitive online transactions and we store and process your Personal Information on secured servers. However, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our system or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers. No transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not under the control of us to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Any such transmission is done at your own risk.
If you contact us by e-mail, you should be aware that your transmission might not be secure. A third party could view information you send by these methods in transit.
You may be able to create an account on the Properties with a username and password. If so, you are responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your account password, and you shall be responsible for any access to or use of the Properties by you or any person or entity using your password, whether or not such access or use has been authorized by or on behalf of you, and whether or not such person or entity is your employee or agent. You agree to (a) immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. It is your sole responsibility to control the dissemination and use of your password, control access to and use of your account, and notify us when you desire to cancel your account on the Properties. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (x) we will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this provision and (y) you agree to indemnify and hold harmless our organization and other members of the Maxima Group for any improper, unauthorized or illegal use of your account.
We will have no liability for disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties during or after transmission.
In the unlikely event that we believe that the security of your Personal Information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If a notification is appropriate, we would endeavor to do so as promptly as possible under the circumstances, and, to the extent we have your e-mail address, we may notify you by e-mail. You consent to our use of e-mail as a means of such notification.
PHISHING
With identity theft a continuing problem, it has become increasingly common for unauthorized individuals purporting to represent a legitimate company such as a bank or on-line merchant, to send e-mail messages to consumers requesting that the consumer provide personal, often sensitive information. Sometimes, the domain name of the e-mail address from which the e-mail appears to have been sent, and the domain name of the website requesting such information, appears to be the domain name of a legitimate, trusted company. In reality, such sensitive information is received by an unauthorized individual to be used for purposes of identity theft. This illegal activity is known as “phishing.”
If you receive an e-mail or other correspondence requesting that you provide any sensitive information (including your Properties password or credit/debit card information) via e-mail or to a website that does not seem to be affiliated with the Properties, or that otherwise seems suspicious to you, please do not provide such information, and report such request to us by submitting a report through the “Contact Us” feature on our website or Properties.
CHILDREN AND PRIVACY
e are concerned about the safety of children when they use the Internet. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time with their children online and to be familiar with the sites their children visit. We will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 (or other age where parental consent may be required) without prior verifiable parental consent when legally required. If we become aware that a customer has registered without the legally required prior verifiable parental consent, we will remove his or her personally identifiable registration information from our files.
Information posted to message boards, chat areas, club and home pages are available to the general public. Please use caution when posting any such information. Users under the age of 18 should be particularly careful not to provide any personally identifying information while using chat rooms, message boards, or any other public forums. Users of chat areas, message boards, or any other public forums must follow acceptable standards of behavior when posting messages online. We reserve the right to, but is not obligated to, refuse or delete any content that in our sole discretion is considered inappropriate.

So we can better understand our audience, our customers, our website visitors, and their respective interests.
We Engage in Interest-Based Advertising.

How to Control Tracking Technologies.
You can control certain tracking tools. Many browsers give you the ability to delete or reject cookies. How you do so depends on the type of cookie. You can configure your browser to reject browser cookies. To control flash cookies go to http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html. Why? Because flash cookies do not reside in your browser, and thus your browser settings will not affect them. Not all of the tracking described here will stop if cookies are deleted or blocked.
NOTE: If you configure your computer to block cookies, you may not be able to access certain functionality on our site or the toolbar. If you block or delete cookies, not all of the tracking activities we have described here will stop. Choices you make are both browser and device-specific.
You Have Options Over the Interest-Based Ads You See.
The Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising program provides consumers with the ability to opt-out of having their online behavior recorded and used for advertising purposes. If you want to opt out, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. Choices you make are both browser and device-specific.
Some web browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature. This feature lets you tell websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. These features are not yet uniform across browsers. Our sites are not currently set up to respond to those signals.
