MFMC collects and stores 2 distinctly different categories of information:
-
Personal information that is needed for business purposes.
-
Information that is entered into each individual account for the purposes of
archiving them as memories (Journal Entries).
This Privacy Policy applies to the
first category – personal information that MFMC collect for the purposes of doing
business. “Personal information” is considered any information recorded in any form,
about an identified individual or an individual whose identity may be inferred or
determined from such information, other than business contact information (e.g.,
name, title, business address). This Policy does not cover aggregated data from
which the identity of an individual cannot be determined. MFMC retains the right
to use aggregated data in any way that it determines appropriate.
