Mercury Analytics, LLC
has created this privacy policy statement in order to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy.
This privacy policy explains our data collection and use practices. By using or accessing the website
located at www.mercuryanalytics.com and all other websites owned or controlled by Mercury Analytics,
LLC (collectively, the "Site"), you signify your assent to our Privacy Policy.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE THE SITE.
Personal and Non-Personal Information: When using the Site, you may be asked
to provide, or you may choose to provide us with or upload, certain personally identifiable information
about yourself ("Personal Information"), including but not limited to, your name, email address, physical
address and telephone number.
We may also collect non-personally identifiable information, such as IP host
address, pages viewed, browser type, survey information and other data, and may aggregate any
information collected in a manner which does not identify any individual ("Aggregate Information").
Information Usage: Unless disclosed otherwise at the time of collection, we
do not share any Personal Information you submit through our Site with any unaffiliated third party,
unless it is necessary to respond to your inquiry, or to comply with applicable law, except that if
you are a successful contestant we may include your name and State of residence on the Site. We may
use Aggregate Information to improve and enhance the Site, analyze trends, administer the Site and
for our market research activities. For example, we may share Aggregate Information with unaffiliated
third parties, such as business partners, manufacturers, distributors and retailers, in an aggregate,
anonymous form, which means that the shared information will not contain nor be linked to any Personal
Information. We will never sell your Personal Information to any third party not affiliated with us
without your consent except in connection with the sale or merger of our company or the division responsible
for such services.
Please note that we reserve the right to access and/or disclose Personal Information
and non-personal information we gather as required by courts or administrative agencies and to the extent
required to permit us to investigate suspected fraud, harassment or other violations of any law, rule or
regulation, the Site rules or policies, or the rights of third parties or to investigate any suspected conduct
which we deem improper.
Cookies: "Cookies" are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer by a
web site for the purpose of facilitating and enhancing your communication and interaction with that web site.
Many web sites use cookies for these purposes. We may use cookies to customize your visit to the Site and for
other purposes to make your visit more convenient or to enable us to enhance our service. You may stop or
restrict the placement of cookies on your computer or flush them from your browser by adjusting your web browser
preferences, in which case you may still use our Site, but it may interfere with some of its functionality. We do
not use cookies to retrieve personal information from your computer for purposes that are unrelated to the Site or
your interaction with the Site.
Clickstream: As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each
web site you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as "clickstream data," can be collected and
stored by a web site's server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing software you use
and the address of the web site from which you linked to the Site. We may collect and use clickstream data as a
form of Aggregate Information to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Site, how
visitors navigate throughout the Site and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors.
This information will be used to improve our Site and our services. Any collection or use of clickstream data will
be anonymous and aggregate, and will not intentionally contain any Personal Information.
Security: The security of your Personal Information is very important to us. We have put in
place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect. However,
due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and us, or
information stored on the Site or our servers, will be free from unauthorized access by third parties such as hackers
and your use of the Site demonstrates your assumption of this risk.
Protection for Children We have no intention of collecting personal information from children
under the age of 13. When we become aware that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected without
such child's parent or guardian's consent, we will use all reasonable efforts to delete such information from our
database.
Other Web Sites: Our Site may contain links to other web sites not maintained by us. Other web
sites may also reference or link to our Site. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site, or surf the Internet,
and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that you visit. We are not responsible for the privacy
practices or the content of such other web sites.
You should be aware that personal information which you voluntarily include and transmit online
may be viewed and used by others. In addition, personal information you post to chat rooms, message boards, blogs or
other publicly accessible forums may be viewed and used by anyone with access to such forums. We are unable to control
such uses of your personal information, and by using such services you assume the risk that the personal information
provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties.
Changes to policy; Opt-Out Process: We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify,
add, or remove portions from this policy at any time. However, if at any time in the future we plan to use Personal
Information in a way that differs from this policy, we will post such changes here and provide you the opportunity to
opt-out of such differing uses. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of any changes to this policy
means you accept such changes.
If you receive an unwanted email from us, you can simply reply and ask not to receive future
emails. We also give you the option to remove your personal information from our list of active users completely. All
unsubscribe or opt-out requests should be sent to us at remove@mercuryanalytics.com and we will process your request
within a reasonable time after receipt. We are not responsible for removing your personal information from the lists of
any third party who has been provided your information in accordance with this policy, such as a business partner.
Communications with us: By providing your email address to us, you expressly consent to receive
emails from us. We may use email to communicate with you, to send information that you have requested or to send
information about other products or services developed or provided by us, provided that, we will not give your email
address to another party to promote their products or services directly to you.
Any communication or material you transmit to us by email or otherwise, including any data,
questions, comments, suggestions, or the like is, and will be treated as, nonconfidential and nonproprietary. Except
to the extent expressly covered by this policy, anything you transmit or post may be used by us for any purpose,
including but not limited to, reproduction, disclosure, transmission, publication, broadcast and posting. Furthermore,
you expressly agree that we are free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any communication
