Third-Party Websites and Services.

This site contains links to other sites and provides third parties with access. Third-party affiliates also may collect information about your use of the site. For example, some affiliates may provide relevant targeted advertising — for example by using cookies in advertising that they display on our Websites. We neither collect those cookies nor have access to this information; however, this site may supplement the information that you provide with information that is received from third parties – for example, from our partners in sponsored content sections. Other sites may collect information about your use of the site to facilitate social networking or other web services. This privacy policy does not cover such data collection, and we do not control the privacy policies of our advertisers, sponsors or other sites or businesses to which we provide hyperlinks or access. To learn or more about this behavioral advertising practice or to opt-out of this type of advertising for some companies, you can visit http://www.networkadvertising.org and http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

Occasionally when linking, you may still see our site’s logo or frame, which provides you with a seamless experience when visiting our Website. In these cases, you are no longer on our Website and are now on a different website whose information collection practices may differ from ours. The privacy policy of the site you are on will govern how information collected from you is used. Contact information will be used to notify contest winners and award prizes and in some instances may be shared with the contest or survey sponsor. User demographic information is shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis in a manner that will not personally identify the individual submitting such information.

In all other respects, we will not sell or otherwise provide access to any of our visitors’ personally identifiable information to any third party under any circumstances, unless (1) you consent to our doing so; (2) we need to share your information to provide the product or service you have requested; (3) to enforce compliance with our Terms of Use; or (4) we must respond to a lawful subpoena, court order or other legal process.

If MMM becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of any or all of its assets, we will provide notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We may edit this policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes to it, we will endeavor to notify you by posting a prominent announcement on our pages. If, however, we are going to use users’ personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify our users via email or by posting a notice on the site for 30 days.
