Privacy policy.

Protecting your privacy is important to MKT Growth Partners and our employees. We are committed to protecting your privacy and want you to understand what information we collect and how we use it.  This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) sets forth how MKT Growth Partners LLC and our employees (“MKT Growth Partners,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) protect a person’s (the “User(s),” “you,” or “your”) privacy when he or she uses the MKT Growth Partners website, MKT Growth Partners mobile applications (if any), or other products, services, and/or other websites offered by MKT Growth Partners. 

This Policy explicitly applies to any User who accesses or uses the MKT Growth Partners website, (www.mktgrowthpartners.com or the “Site”), the MKT Growth Partners mobile application (if any) (the “Mobile Application”), or any other MKT Growth Partners products, services, or features.  This Policy directly applies only to the Personal Information (as defined below) that a User discloses or transmits to MKT Growth Partners via the Site, the Mobile Application, or other product, service, or feature, or that is collected by MKT Growth Partners in the course of a User’s use of the Site, Mobile Application, or other product service, or feature.

Your Consent To The Privacy Policy

By using the MKT Growth Partners website that displays this Policy, you expressly agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of certain Personal Information as set forth in this Policy. If you do not consent to the limited collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information as described in this Policy, you are not permitted to use the Site. 

This Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the MKT Growth Partners Terms of Service.  A User’s use of the Site and his or her provision of any Personal Information to MKT Growth Partners are subject to the terms of this Policy and the Terms of Service.  If a User has any questions about this Policy, he or she may Contact Us via our website.

THEREFORE, PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND TO ALL THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND THE SITE’S TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE.

What Information Do We Collect About You?

The information we collect about you falls into two categories: (1) Personal Information, which includes personal information you supply when you register for the Site or provide your e-mail address to sign up for features such as newsletters or specials and (2) Non-Personal Information collected through technology, which includes tracking information automatically collected as you use the Site.

Personal Information

Personal Information (the “Personal Information”) is any information that identifies a User personally, either alone or in combination with other information available to us.  Personal Information may therefore include, but is not limited to (a) a User’s name, email address, date of birth, and /or account password; (b) a User’s City, State, and Country; and (c) any content a User posts to a MKT Growth Partners website or other product, as defined in the MKT Growth Partners Terms of Service.

A number of features on our Site do not require you to register for an account or provide any Personal Information to us.  Put simply, if you use these features, you do not have to provide us with any Personal Information.  However, to gain access to and use all of our features, you may be required to provide Personal Information.  For instance, when you sign up for a MKT Growth Partners Account (the “Account”) or other MKT Growth Partners Features (e.g., a subscription to a newsletter) that require registration, we ask you to submit select Personal Information.

When you send an email or other communication to MKT Growth Partners, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiry, respond to your request, and improve the Site.

We offer some services in connection with other Partners.  At the request of the User, Personal Information that a User provides to us may be sent to such Partners in order to deliver these services. We process such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.  Partners and their affiliated websites may have different privacy policies governing User Personal Information and we encourage Users to review such privacy policies.

Non-Personal Information/Technology

When a User uses the Site or Mobile Application, MKT Growth Partners may receive certain personally non-identifiable information about the User’s use of the Site or Mobile Application (“Non-Personal Information”). Such information, which may be collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify the User.  MKT Growth Partners may store such information ourselves or it may be included in databases owned and maintained by our affiliates, agents or service providers. MKT Growth Partners may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to the Site, the number of visitors to each page of the Site, and the domain names of our visitors’ Internet service providers. No Personal Information is available or used in this process.

We use cookies at www.mktgrowthpartners.com, both permanent and session cookies.  A cookie is a small data file stored by your web browser on your computer's hard drive.  We use cookies so we can recognize who you are when you use our Site.  Cookies allow us to understand how you clicked to our Site and what pages you visit during your visit to our Site.  Knowing who you are and what types activities or third parties you are interested in can allow us to personalize your experience and speed your information-gathering process.  Please note that we do not use cookies to track your activity on sites other than our Site.

When you access our Site or Mobile Application, our servers automatically record information from your web browser and/or mobile device. The information contained within these server logs may include, but is not limited to, information such as your web requests, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, cookies that may uniquely identify your browser, and elements employed in the Mobile Applications.

MKT Growth Partners may present links in a format that enables us to keep track of whether these links have been followed. We use this information to improve the quality of our search technology, customized content, and advertising.

How Do We Use the Information That We Collect?

General Statement on the Use of Personal and Non-Personal Information

MKT Growth Partners only processes and uses Personal Information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Such purposes may include (a) operating, maintaining, and providing Users all of the features of the Site, including the display of customized content and advertising; (b) establishing contact with Users to deliver special offers, promotions or other information; (c) auditing, research and analysis in order to maintain, protect and enhance the Site; (d) ensuring the functionality and usability of the Site and Mobile Application; (e) installing and monitoring elements for security purposes; (f) creating User profiles that permit us to better understand what information a given User might like to receive from us; (g) providing Users with information and notices related to MKT Growth Partners; (h) inviting Users to participate in surveys conducted by MKT Growth Partners; (i) developing new products and services; and (j) improving our marketing and promotional efforts.

MKT Growth Partners does not use a User’s Personal Information to send commercial or marketing SMS messages or email messages to a User without a User’s express consent, or unless a User has previously opted in to receive such messages. If you wish to opt-out of receiving promotional emails, please contact us. Please be aware that you will always receive certain emails from us related to the proper functioning of your registered MKT Growth Partners Account.

Research

To better serve Users and improve the Site, MKT Growth Partners may conduct research on User demographics, interests and behavior based on the Personal Information and Non-Personal Information provided to MKT Growth Partners. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and we may share this aggregated information with our affiliates, agents and business partners. This aggregate information does not identify a User personally. MKT Growth Partners may also disclose aggregated information in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.

Sharing of Personal Information

Because your privacy is of the utmost importance to us, there are very few and limited instances in which we may share your Personal Information.

First, we may share your Personal Information if you consent to us doing so.  We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive Personal Information.

Second, we are permitted under law to disclose nonpublic Personal Information about you to other third parties in certain circumstances. For example, we may disclose nonpublic Personal Information about you to government entities in response to subpoenas. We do not disclose any nonpublic Personal Information about our Users or former Users to anyone, except as permitted by law.

Third, we may share your Personal Information with service providers or suppliers that help with our business operations.  Companies that help us improve our product and service offerings on our Site, data storage companies, and web hosting companies are a few examples of service providers with which we may share your Personal Information. Please know that we require these service providers and suppliers to keep the information secure.  We also prohibit them from using your Personal Information for any purposes other than those requested by us.

Please note that we may share aggregate and statistical data that does not identify you personally.  This sharing of information may be done for research and marketing purposes or for other lawful purposes.

Business Transfers and Sharing of Personal Information

Personal Information submitted to MKT Growth Partners will become part of our normal records.  In the unlikely event that MKT Growth Partners or substantially all of its assets are acquired by an unrelated third party, your Personal Information may be one of the transferred assets.  If such an event happens, we will provide notice before User Personal Information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.  In the negotiation of any potential merger, acquisition, or sale of MKT Growth Partners, we may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, Non-Personal Information. As discussed above, such information does not identify a User individually.  In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally, we may not be able to control how User Personal Information is treated, transferred, or used. Upon any such change in ownership or control, User Personal Information, however, will be notified via electronic notice via the Site

General Provisions

The following general provisions are also adopted as a part of this Policy.

Servers

MKT Growth Partners may processes Personal Information and/or Non-Personal Information on our servers in the United States of America or in other countries. In some cases, we may process Personal Information and/or Non-Personal Information on a server outside of a given User’s country.

Exclusions

This Privacy Policy shall not apply to any unsolicited information a User provides to MKT Growth Partners.  This type of information includes, but is not limited to, information posted to any public areas of the MKT Growth Partners website, and any ideas for new products or modifications to existing services, and other unsolicited submissions (collectively, “Unsolicited Information”), including all User Content, as that term is defined in our Terms of Service, that by its nature is accessible or intended to be accessible to other Users of the Site. All such Unsolicited Information shall be deemed to be non-confidential and we shall be free to reproduce, use, disclose, and distribute such Unsolicited Information to others without limitation or attribution.

Information Security

MKT Growth Partners takes appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of the Personal Information transmitted or disclosed to MKT Growth Partners. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where User data is collected, stored, and/or maintained.  No Internet or e-mail transmission, however, is ever fully secure or error free.  MKT Growth Partners therefore cannot warrant or ensure the security of any Personal Information that we receive on behalf of Users in order to permit them to access the Site, or any other information that a User transmits or discloses to us.  We also cannot guarantee that any such information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. Therefore, a User should take special care in deciding what information is transmitted or disclosed to MKT Growth Partners.  We restrict access to Personal Information to MKT Growth Partners employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, or improve the Site. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.

When a User logs in to www.mktgrowthpartners.com, we may require that a secure connection between a User’s computer and our server be established.  To accomplish this, we use a technology called Secure Socket Layers (SSL), an encryption technology that works with most browsers. A secure connection is maintained until a User leaves the secure area of the Site. Although we use SSL encryption to safeguard the confidentiality of Personal Information as it travels via the Internet, ironclad security does not exist on the Internet, and accordingly, we cannot guarantee the safety of the transmission of any Personal Information over the Internet.

Data Integrity

MKT Growth Partners processes User Personal Information only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Policy or any applicable service-specific privacy notice. We review our data collection, storage, and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the Personal Information needed to provide or improve the Site. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our Users to update or correct their Personal Information whenever necessary.

Accessing and Updating Personal Information

When a User accesses the Site, we make good faith efforts to provide that User with easy access to his or her Personal Information and an opportunity to either correct that data if it is inaccurate, or to delete such data upon that particular User’s request, provided that it is not otherwise required to be retained by law, or for legitimate business purposes. We do, however, ask Users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected, or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.

Third-Party Advertisers and Ad-Serving Companies

Advertisements that appear on MKT Growth Partners are sometimes delivered (or “served”) directly to Users by third-party advertisers or ad network companies (collectively, the “Third Party Advertisers “). Third Party Advertisers may automatically receive a User’s IP address or other information about his or her mobile device or personal computer when serving advertisements. They may also download cookies to a User’s computer, or use other technologies such as JavaScript and “web beacons” to measure the effectiveness of the advertisements served and to personalize advertising content.  Doing this allows the advertiser or ad network to recognize a User’s computer or mobile device each time he or she sends a User an advertisement in order to measure the effectiveness of the ad and to personalize advertising content. Further, Third Party Advertisers may use aggregated information (not including Personal Information) about your visits to the MKT Growth Partners websites and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to Users. MKT Growth Partners does not access or have control of the cookies that may be placed by third-party advertisers or ad networks. Likewise, third party advertisers and ad networks do not have access to a User’s Personal Information stored with us unless a User chooses to share it with them. This Policy does not cover the use of tracking technologies or Personal Information by any such third- party advertisers or ad networks.

Other Sites

This Privacy Policy applies to the websites and products and services that are owned and operated by MKT Growth Partners. We do not exercise control over the third party websites displayed as search results or links from within the Site. These other third party websites may place their own cookies or other files on a User’s computer, collect data, or solicit Personal Information from a User. The links from the Site do not imply our review or endorsement of the third party websites. We encourage Users to contact those third party websites directly for information concerning their privacy practices.

Privacy of Children

We do not attempt to knowingly solicit Personal Information from to children under the age of 13.  MKT Growth Partners is directed at, and targeted toward adults and professionals. IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 13 YEARS OF AGE, THEN PLEASE OBTAIN YOUR PARENTS CONSENT TO USE THE SITE.  If we learn that someone under the age of 13 has provided Personal Information without his or her parent’s consent, MKT Growth Partners will use reasonable efforts to remove such information from our records.  We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce our Policy by instructing their children to never provide Personal Information through our Site without their permission.  If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child under the age of 13 has obtained a MKT Growth Partners Account or has otherwise provided Personal Information to us, then you may contact us, and request that we delete that child’s Personal Information from our systems.

Enforcement

MKT Growth Partners regularly reviews its compliance with this Policy. Please feel free to direct any questions or concerns regarding this Policy or MKT Growth Partners’ treatment of Personal Information by Contacting Us through this website. When we receive formal written complaints at this e-mail address, it is MKT Growth Partners’ policy to contact the complaining User regarding his or her concerns. We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between MKT Growth Partners and an individual.

Notice of Privacy Rights to California Residents

California law requires that we provide you with a summary of your privacy rights under the California Online Privacy Protection Act (the "Act") and the California Business and Professions Code. As required by the Act, we will provide you with the categories of personally identifiable information that we collect through the Website and the categories of third party persons or entities with whom such personally identifiable information may be shared for direct marketing purposes at your request. California law requires us to inform you, at your request, (1) the categories of personally identifiable information we collect and what third parties we share that information with; (2) the names and addresses of those third parties; and (3) examples of the products marketed by those companies. The Act further requires us to allow you to control who you do not want us to share that information with. To obtain this information, please send a request by email or standard mail to the address found below. When contacting us, please indicate your name, address, email address, and what personally identifiable information you do not want us to share with affiliated businesses or marketing partners. The request should be sent to the attention of our legal department, and labeled "California Customer Choice Notice." Please allow 30 days for a response.  Also, please note that there is no charge for controlling the sharing of your personally identifiable information or requesting this notice.

Survival of the Policy

If you decide to close your account(s) or become an inactive User, we will continue to adhere to the privacy policies and practices described in this notice.

Changes to the Policy

Please note that the Policy may change at any time and without prior notice. Any revised version(s) of the Policy will be promptly posted on the www.mktgrowthpartners.com website. We will not reduce User rights under the Policy without each User’s explicit consent, and we expect most such changes will be negligible. To better inform Users of changes to the Policy, we will post any such changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification). Each version of this Policy will be identified at the top of the page by its effective date, and we will also keep prior versions of our Privacy Policy in an archive for review by Users. A User’s continued use of the Site constitutes his or her agreement to this Policy and any future revisions. If you have any additional questions or concerns about this Policy, please feel free to Contact Us any time.
