PRIVACY & SECURITY POLICY

Milford Communications, LLC (“Milford“) has implemented this Privacy and Security Policy governing the personally identifiable consumer information (“PII“) collected by this site and other www.milfordcomm.net sites. This Privacy and Security Policy does not govern PII collected from any other source or in any other manner.

OVERVIEW

This Privacy and Security Policy is intended to provide you with information as to: (i) the type of information that is collected, (ii) how collected information is used and with whom it is shared; (iii) how we intend to protect the information; and (iv) how you can access, modify and/or delete such information.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

Information You Provide to Us: Milford collects information about you when you visit and/or purchase products or services from this website. Some of this information is automatically collected, and some is collected when you interact with the site. The type of information that is automatically collected can include date and time of access to the site, the Internet protocol address of the computer that you are using, the domain and host from which you access the Internet, your browser software and operating system, and the specific activities you are engaged in while visiting the site. Information from which you can be personally identified may also be collected by Milford at the site, including your name, postal address and email address. Of course, you may choose not to provide certain information to Milford, but if so, you may not be able to participate in certain Milford activities and transactions.

Use of “Cookies” and Other Technologies: Milford may use “cookies” and/or other technologies or files (collectively, “cookies”) to identify how its visitors make use of this site. This aggregate tracking information is used to help Milford improve and enhance the website experience for all of its visitors. If you would prefer not to have such cookies stored on your computer, you may modify your browser settings to reject most cookies, or manually remove cookies that have been placed on your computer. However, by so rejecting the cookies, you may be unable to fully access the offerings on this site.

Email Communication: When you communicate with Milford electronically, via email or otherwise, you consent to Milford’s use of the information you have provided, and you further consent to receive electronic communications from Milford.

Security of Information: Milford maintains reasonable standards of confidentiality and security for this site and the PII collected from this site. The PII you provide is secured using industry standard e-commerce security technology. Milford also restricts its own employees’ access to PII. However, it is possible that someone may intercept or access communications, transmissions and/or PII. You must also seek to protect against unauthorized access to any passwords and/or accounts that you use in connection with this website, and you should remember to log off of the website once you have completed your activities on the site or if you have decided to step away from your computer. In the event that Milford determines that there has been a security breach resulting in the unauthorized disclosure of PII to a third party, Milford will notify consumers whose PII has been so disclosed by posting such information on the site and, if email contact is possible, then we would send an email advising of the status.

USE AND SHARING OF INFORMATION

Use of Personal Consumer Information by Milford: The PII collected by Milford may be used by Milford for any lawful purpose, including to communicate with you, respond to your requests, and analyze and improve Milford’s websites, its business and/or its service to you. Milford may use this information to send you email newsletters, promotional offers with respect to goods or services of a particular brand, maintenance notifications, account notifications, legally required notices or other types of communications on behalf of Milford and/or its affiliates. You may opt out of certain email communications by sending an email to privacy@www.milfordcomm.net to advise us of your decision. All email newsletters and promotional offers will provide you with an opportunity to opt out of receiving future issues of such newsletters or to opt out of receiving future promotional offers with respect to such brand. Milford may also use your PII to send you emails or other communications on behalf of third parties. All such communications will provide you with the opportunity to opt out of receiving future third party offers from Milford. You may also, at any time, opt-out of receiving any third-party offers from this site by sending an email to privacy@www.milfordcomm.net.

Disclosure by Milford of Personal Consumer Information to Other Entities: Where permitted by law, Milford may disclose aggregated statistics about visitors to its site, along with specific information concerning individual visitors of its site that is not PII, provided that no specific individual can be identified by the information so disclosed. Subject to applicable laws, Milford may sometimes seek to share the PII it has collected with a third party, and may also sometimes seek to share such PII with companies that are affiliated with Milford. Milford may sometimes use a third party, located either within or outside the United States, to provide certain services on its behalf, such as processing transactions, sending emails or performing statistical analyses of activity on this website. In the event that Milford provides certain of your PII to any such entity, Milford will require that any such entity maintain the confidentiality of (and not further share) the PII that Milford has provided to it. Milford may sometimes share PII with sponsors of promotions on the Milford site, or with sponsors or advertisers of “premium” content. Milford will always disclose when you are registering for such a promotion or requesting such content. Milford will not provide PII to any third party for such party’s direct marketing purposes without first providing you with an opportunity to opt-out of such disclosures.

Acquisition of Business: In the event that Milford is involved in a merger, acquisition, consolidation, restructuring, reorganization, liquidation, sale or similar transaction relating to any portion of its business and/or assets, you hereby acknowledge and agree that the PII relating to visitors of this site may be included in the assets, and/or transferred pursuant to, such transaction. If that occurs, Milford will post a notice to such effect on this website.

Legal Process: Milford may disclose your PII if it has a reasonable good faith basis to believe that it is required to do so by law, compelled by court order or legal process, or is reasonably necessary and/or appropriate to: (a) protect the rights, property and/or safety of Milford or any other person or entity; or (b) prevent or take action concerning any alleged: (i) illegal activity or (ii) breach of your Terms and Conditions of Service for any Milford service or the Privacy and Security Policy of this website.
