Privacy and Confidentiality Policy

Our Philosophy. Your trust is our greatest asset. We make every reasonable effort to ensure that information held by MidMEx-powered Web sites is confidential and secure. We disclose our information-security practices to you as clearly and fully as possible.


Site Ownership, Scope, and Applicability of The Policy. This Policy applies only when you are within the MidMEx-powered environment and only to information that MidMEx collects.


Activity Tracking. We will collect and use activity statistics so we can understand the ways in which our sites and services are being utilized. Activity related data is stored anonymously and it is only used in the form of aggregated statistics. This aggregated, anonymous data may also be shared with business partners. Activity related data cannot be used to target you with solicitations of any kind. We will not be doing any activity tracking until our next software release this summer.


Collection and Stewardship of Other Information. We only collect information that is required in order to provide you with services. We design our sites so that you must be make express, informed choices to use services that ask for personal or corporate information and authorize us to have access to your information. If you do choose to provide us with information, we will hold that information in the strictest confidence taking all reasonable steps to protect your corporate and personal information.
At any time, you can opt out of any service you have been using and revoke your authorization for our access to your information. We monitor and adopt best practices from industry guidelines and applicable statutes, and we follow appropriate information security practices.


Third Parties. We work with business partners to provide the highest-quality service available. Our business partner contracts include protective language regarding consumer privacy in those cases where we feel the nature of the partner's role demands it. We do not disclose personal information to any third party without clearly noting the purpose of such disclosure at the point where you choose to use the service and obtain your authorization.


Use of Cookies. We use non-persistent session state cookies to establish and sustain login sessions. These cookies disappear after you close your browser. The cookies are used to monitor your session and to automatically log you out of our service if you exceed 60 minutes of inactivity. Other sites cannot use cookies created by our sites, and we do not use cookies to track your activities outside of our own sites.


Legal Requests. MidMEx cooperates with law enforcement inquiries as a matter of policy. We will use IP addresses and other available information to attempt to identify a user when we are legally compelled to do so or when we feel it is necessary to protect our services, sites, customers, or others.


Legal Disclaimer. Unfortunately, no data protection method or combination of methods can be guaranteed 100 percent secure. We take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information as described throughout this policy, but we cannot ensure or warrant our ability to do so. As a result, you use MidMEx content, products, and services at your own risk. MidMEx will not be liable for disclosures of your personal information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties.
