Accordingly, some of this information may be logged by MCCIT. Links to Third Party Sites The MCCIT may contain links to other sites that are not under our control. These web sites have their own policies regarding privacy. You should review those policies before visiting the web sites. We have no responsibility for linked web sites, and we provide these links solely for the convenience of information to our visitors. DISCLOSURES MCCIT Service Providers MCCIT does not disclose Personal Data to third parties, except to process credit card information for orders. However, at a future time, MCCIT may need to provide users' Personal Data to other third parties to deliver specific services to the user (such as hosting services or support services). These third parties will be required to adhere to Safe Harbor Privacy Principles or at a minimum MCCIT will require the third party to certify they follow privacy protection equal to MCCIT. Users will also be provided with a mechanism to opt-out of having their Personal Data viewed by such third parties. Law Enforcement; Subpoenas MCCIT may disclose Personal Data, including the data you back up with the Service, with or without notice (a) if required by a subpoena or other judicial or administrative order, (b) where required by law, or (c) at our sole discretion, where we deem it necessary to protect the safety of any individual or the general public or to prevent violation of our User Agreement or the rights of MCCIT or any third party.
Change of Ownership
In the event of a change in ownership, or a direct merger or acquisition with another entity, we reserve the right to transfer all of MCCIT User information, including Personal Data, to a separate entity. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you (by posting on our website or an email to the email address you provide when you register) of any change in ownership, merger or acquisition of MCCIT assets by a third party, and you may choose to modify any of their registration information at that time. SECURITY MCCIT uses industry standard security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Although we make good faith efforts to store the information collected by MCCIT in a secure operating environment that is not available to the public, MCCIT cannot guarantee complete security. Further, while we take reasonable steps to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party "crackers" from obtaining this information.
