Other than as set forth above, Mavan does not share, sell or otherwise disclose personal or technical information to third-parties. Mavan requires third-party service providers to comply with strict data privacy and security requirements, and we prohibit these third-parties from using the information they receive from us for any other purpose. Mavan does not sell or otherwise disclose your personal information to third-parties for their direct marketing purposes.

Your Rights

You have the right:

• to confirm whether Mavan is using or storing your personal information;
• if you discover that the information we have about you is incorrect or inaccurate, to request that we correct or update it; and
• to restrict or limit how we use our information, for example by requesting that we no longer use your information for marketing purposes or for specific types of marketing messages.

Residents of California are permitted under California Civil Code §1798.83 to request information regarding the disclosure of personal information to third-parties for those third-parties’ direct marketing purposes. As noted above, Mavan does not sell or otherwise disclose your personal information to third-parties for their direct marketing purposes.

Do Not Track

Many browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These browser features are not uniform, so we are not currently set up to respond to those signals.  Nevertheless, certain browsers allow you to access the web without triggering tracking technology, if you choose to use those features.

Security

We use reasonable technical, organizational and administrative measures to protect the security of the personal information we collect.  No data storage or method of data transmission, however, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us over the Internet.

Third-Party Sites

Mavan is not responsible for the privacy, information or data security policies or practices of third-parties, including third-parties operating any site linked from our website. The inclusion of a link on our website does not imply any endorsement of the linked site by Mavan.
