Privacy
Privacy Policy MyMaineMap
MyMaineMap respects your right to privacy. This
policy summarizes what personally identifiable
information we may collect, and how we might
use this information. This policy also describes
other important topics relating to your privacy.
1. MyMaineMap Global
Internet Privacy Policy
It is MyMaineMap policy to comply with all applicable
privacy and data protection laws. This commitment
reflects the value we place on earning and keeping
the trust of our employees, customers, business
partners and others who share their personal
information with us.
This Global Internet Privacy
Policy (this Policy) describes how MyMaineMap
protects your privacy when we collect personal
information on MyMaineMap Internet sites. As
used in this Policy, the term personal information
means information that identifies you personally,
alone or in combination with other information
available to us.
This Policy applies, in general,
to all Internet sites operated by or on behalf
of MyMaineMap and its business units worldwide
(each a MyMaineMap Internet Site).
2. Web Site Privacy
Statements
Although this Policy applies to all MyMaineMap
Internet Sites generally, each MyMaineMap Internet
Site has a different purpose and different features.
If additional or different disclosures are required
with respect to a specific MyMaineMap Internet
Site, we will provide those disclosures on the
site itself or in a separate web site privacy
statement (Web Site Privacy Statement) posted
on that site. Each individual disclosure or
Web Site Privacy Statement supplements and amends
this Policy, but only with respect to the MyMaineMap
Internet Site on which it is posted.
3. Your Consent
By using a MyMaineMap Internet Site or providing
personal information to us, you are consenting
to the collection, use and disclosure of your
personal information as described in this Policy
and any applicable Country or Web Site Privacy
Statements.
If you do not consent to the
collection, use and disclosure of your personal
information as described in this Policy (and
any applicable Country or Web Site Privacy Statements),
do not use MyMaineMap Internet Sites or Contact
MyMaineMap/Contact Us forms.
4. Limitations on the
Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
To the extent required by applicable law, if
and whenever MyMaineMap does collect personal
information on a MyMaineMap Internet Site, MyMaineMap
will:
provide timely and appropriate
notice to you about its data practices;
collect, use, disclose and transfer your personal
information only with your consent, which may
be express or plied, depending on the sensitivity
of the personal information, legal requirements,
and other factors;
collect your personal information only for specific,
limited purposes. The information we collect
will be relevant, adequate and not excessive
for the purposes for which it is collected;
process your personal information in a manner
consistent with the purposes for which it was
originally collected or to which you have subsequently
consented;
take commercially reasonable steps to ensure
that your personal information is reliable for
its intended use, accurate, complete, and, where
necessary, kept up-to-date;
not use your personal information for direct
marketing purposes without giving you an opportunity
to opt-out; and
take appropriate measures, by contract or otherwise,
to provide adequate protection for personal
information that is disclosed to a third party
or transferred to another country, including
transfers within MyMaineMap.
5. Information Collected
on MyMaineMap Internet Sites and How It May
Be Used
When you access and use a MyMaineMap Internet
Site, there are 3 ways we may collect information
about you:
5a. Information Sent
to Us by Your Web Browser
MyMaineMap collects information that is sent
to us automatically by your web browser. This
information typically includes the IP address
of your Internet service provider, the name
of your operating system (such as Macintosh
or Windows) and the name and version of your
browser (such as Internet Explorer or Netscape).
The information we receive depends on the settings
on your web browser. Please check your browser
if you want to learn what information your browser
sends or how to change your settings.
The information provided by
your browser does not identify you personally.
We use this information to create statistics
that help us improve our sites and make them
more compatible with the technology used by
our Internet visitors.
5b. Information Collected
By Placing a Cookie On Your Computer
MyMaineMap may obtain information about you
by installing a tag on your computers hard drive.
This tag is known as a cookie.
All of our MyMaineMap Internet
Sites use session cookies. A session cookie
is used to tag your computer with a computer-generated,
unique identifier when you access our site.
A session cookie does not identify you personally
and expires after you close your browser. We
use session cookies to collect statistical information
about the ways visitors use our sites which
pages they visit, which links they use, and
how long they stay on each page. We analyze
this information (known as clickstream data)
in statistical form to better understand our
visitor’s interests and needs to improve
the content and functionality of our sites.
Some MyMaineMap Internet sites
also use persistent cookies. These cookies do
not expire when you close your browser; they
stay on your computer until you delete them.
By assigning your computer a unique identifier,
we are able to create a database of your previous
choices and preferences, and in situations where
these choices or preferences need to be collected
again, they can be provided by us automatically,
saving you time and effort. For example, after
you make a purchase, if you decide to make another
purchase, your shipping address will have been
retained and will only need to be confirmed.
If a MyMaineMap Internet Site uses persistent
cookies we will notify you in the Privacy Statement
posted on that site.
If you do not wish to receive
cookies, you may set your browser to reject
cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed
on your computer. Although you are not required
to accept cookies when you visit a MyMaineMap
Internet Site, you may be unable to use all
of the functionality of the site if your browser
rejects our cookies.
5c. Information You
Knowingly and Voluntarily Provide
MyMaineMap collects the information you knowingly
and voluntarily provide when you use a MyMaineMap
Internet Site, for example, the information
you provide when you sign up to receive email
alerts, when you complete a survey, or when
you ask us a question or email us with feedback.
In many cases this information will be personal
information.
MyMaineMap uses this information
for the purposes for which you provide it. For
example, if you provide your e-mail address
when you sign up to receive e-mail alerts, we
use your e-mail address to deliver the e-mail
alerts you request.
We may also use the information
we collect on MyMaineMap Internet Sites for
various business purposes such as customer service,
fraud prevention, market research, improving
our products and services, and providing you
and your company with information and offers
we believe may be of interest to you. We may
also remove all the personally identifiable
information and use the rest for historical,
statistical or scientific purposes.
Many of the MyMaineMap Internet
Sites permit you to make choices about the use
of your personal information. In most cases,
we ask you to indicate your choices at the time
and on the page where you provide your personal
information.
6. Sharing Personal
Information
MyMaineMap will not sell personal information
collected from its Internet sites to mailing
list brokers. If we ever wanted to for some
reason, we would not do it without your express
consent.
MyMaineMap may share your personal
information with other MyMaineMap business units.
When we do so, these other MyMaineMap business
units will use your information in a manner
consistent with the purposes for which it was
originally collected (or to which you subsequently
consented) and only as permitted under this
Policy, any applicable Country or Web Site Privacy
Statements, and all applicable privacy and data
protection laws.
MyMaineMap may also share your
personal information with third parties we hire
to perform support services for us. These third
parties are required to use the personal information
we share with them only to perform services
on our behalf and to treat your personal information
as strictly confidential.
In some cases, MyMaineMap may
share your personal information with third parties
who partner with us to provide products and
services to our customers. When we do so, we
will require our business partners to use the
personal information we share with them in a
manner consistent with the purposes for which
it was originally collected (or to which you
subsequently consented) and only as permitted
under this Policy, any applicable Country or
Web Site Privacy Statements, and all applicable
privacy and data protection laws.
In certain, limited circumstances
we may share or transfer personal information
to unrelated third parties. For example, we
may provide personal information to a third
party (i) at your request; (ii) to comply with
a legal requirement or court order; (iii) to
investigate a possible crime, such as identity
theft; (iv) in connection with the sale, purchase,
merger, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution
of MyMaineMap or a MyMaineMap business unit;
or (v) under similar circumstances. If such
an event occurs, we will take appropriate steps
to protect your personal information.
MyMaineMap Internet Sites may
permit you to make choices about the disclosure
and/or transfer of your personal information.
In most cases, we ask you to indicate your choices
at the time and on the page where you provide
your personal information.
7. Security of Personal
Information
Your personal information will generally be
stored in MyMaineMap databases or databases
maintained by our service providers. Most of
these databases are stored on servers located
in the United States, regardless of which country
you are from. To the extent required by law,
if your personal information will be transferred
outside the United State an appropriate notice
will be provided.
MyMaineMap maintains reasonable
safeguards to protect the confidentiality, security
and integrity of your personal information.
For example, we use secure socket layer (SSL)
technology to transfer personal information
over the Internet. Although we use security
measures to help protect your personal information
against unauthorized disclosure, misuse or alteration,
as is the case with all computer networks linked
to the Internet, we cannot guarantee the security
of information provided over the Internet and
will not be responsible for breaches of security
beyond our reasonable control.
8. Links to Third Party
Internet Sites
MyMaineMap Internet Sites may contain links
to Internet sites that are not operated by MyMaineMap.
These links are provided as a service and do
not imply any endorsement of the activities
or content of these sites, nor any association
with their operators. MyMaineMap does not control

for their content, security, or privacy practices.
We urge you to review the privacy policy posted
on web sites you visit before using the site
