Information We Collect About You


We collect several types of information about you through our Sites, including but not limited to: personally identifiable information, such as name, e-mail address, telephone or mobile number, mailing address, or any other identifier that may permit online or offline contact (“Personal Information”); information about you that does not personally identify you, such as demographic information; and information about your Internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Sites, usage details, and location data. Your information may be collected directly by us, or it may be collected by a third-party website hosting provider, or another third-party service provider, on our behalf.

When you access or use our Sites, you may provide us with certain information voluntarily. This includes information that you provide by filling in forms on our Sites, such as when you enter a contest or promotion sponsored by us; your responses to surveys that we might ask you to complete for research purposes; and records and copies of your correspondence (including e-mail addresses) if you contact us. When you visit our Sites, we will not collect Personal Information about you unless you provide it to us voluntarily. You have the option of what Personal Information you share with Mspark, but certain Personal Information is required to receive Mspark services, including participation in contests or promotional offers sponsored by Mspark.

In addition to information you provide we may use automatic data collection technologies, such as cookies, to collect certain non-personal information about you. This includes but is not limited to information about your computer and Internet connection, such as your IP address, operating system and browser type, and details about your usage of our Sites, such as traffic data, location data, clicking patterns and other data used for statistics or analytics purposes. Although we do not collect your Personal Information automatically, we may tie Personal Information to other information we collect about you or you provide to us. We also may use these technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services. If you enable Do Not Track or another mechanism that indicates your choice regarding the collection of your information in your browser settings, you may proceed to our Sites, but we take no action with respect to such browser settings. Likewise, you can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our Sites may become inaccessible or not function properly.

Third parties may use such technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based advertising or other targeted content. We do not control these third-party tracking technologies or how they may be used.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure.

Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. If we are required to provide notice of unauthorized access to your information, you agree that we may do so when required or voluntarily by posting notice on our Sites or sending notice to any e-mail address we have for you. You agree that notice to you will count as notice for any other individual for whom you are acting, and you will provide the notice to any such individual.
