Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 1 May 2024
We at mSIGNIA know you care about how your personally identifiable information ("PII") is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our Privacy Policy.
By using or accessing the Services in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent that we will collect, use, and share your information in the following ways.
Remember that your use of mSIGNIA’s Services is always subject to the Terms of Service, which incorporates this Privacy Policy. Any terms we use in this Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Use. In addition, your country of residency – such as the European Union, United Kingdom, California, etc. – may have additional rights under regional laws and regulations.
What does this Privacy Policy cover?
This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of PII that we gather when you are accessing or using our Services, but not to the practices of companies we do not own or control, or people that we do not manage. We gather various types of PII from our users, as explained in more detail below, and we use this PII internally in connection with our Services, including to personalize, provide, and improve our services, to allow you to set up a user account and profile, to contact you, to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, and to analyze how you use the Services.
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection} Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers obtain parental consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 16. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children under 16; if you are a child under 16, please do not attempt to register for the Service or send any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 16, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 16 may have provided us personal information, please contact us at policy@mSIGNIA.com.
Will mSIGNIA ever change this Privacy Policy?
We’re constantly trying to improve our Services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time, but we will alert you to changes by placing a notice on the mSIGNIA website for no less than two (2) weeks after a change. Please note that those legal notices will govern your use of the Services, and you are responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all the changes. Use of information we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.
Will mSIGNIA Share Any of the PII it Receives?
We may share your PII with third party agents we employ as companies or people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you; for example, we may use a payment processing company to receive and process your credit card transactions for us. Unless we tell you differently, our agents do not have any right to use the PII we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.
Protection of mSIGNIA and Others: We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that we believe is necessary to comply with law or court order; enforce or apply our Terms of Service and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of mSIGNIA, our employees, our users, or others.
Is PII about me secure?
Any account you create with mSIGNIA is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and PII by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account.
We endeavor to protect the privacy of your account and other PII we hold in our records, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time.
What PII can I access?
Through your account settings, you may access, and, in some cases, edit or delete the following information you’ve provided to us:
- name and password
- email address
- saved search queries and lists of mSIGNIA entities
The information you can view, update, and delete may change as the Services change. If you have any questions about viewing or updating information we have on file about you, please contact us at policy@mSIGNIA.com.
Under California Civil Code Sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to contact us to prevent disclosure of PII to third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes; in order to submit such a request, please contact us at policy@msignis.com.
What choices do I have?
You can always opt not to disclose information to us, but keep in mind some information may be needed to register with us or to take advantage of some of our features.
You may be able to add, update, or delete information as explained above. When you update information, however, we may maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records. Some information may remain in our records after your deletion of such information from your account. We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your PII after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally.
What if I have questions about this policy?
If you have any questions or concerns regarding our privacy policies, please send us a detailed message to policy@mSIGNIA.com, and we will try to resolve your concerns.
