MTekk is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the MTekk Web site and governs data collection and usage. By using the MTekk website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

MTekk is a community based website which publishes News, Reviews, and Forums to individuals interested in specific areas of technology. Users may optionally register to the site with the purpose of posting articles or in the public discussion boards (forums). At time of registration, MTekk collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, first name, and last name. This information is entered by you at the time of registration. The software used in this website requires a firstname and lastname to be entered, and this behaviour cannot be disabled. MTekk does not enforce or otherwise police the firstname and lastname entered, and only the Username is ever displayed on the site.

MTekk collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your suburb, state, and country.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by MTekk through log files that are standard in the web server software. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by MTekk for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the MTekk Web site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through MTekk public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: MTekk does not read any of your private online communications.

MTekk encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from MTekk so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. MTekk is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the MTekk and MTekk family of Web sites.

Use of your Personal Information

MTekk collects and uses your personal information to operate the MTekk Web site and deliver the services you have requested. MTekk does not sell, rent or lease any user details to third parties.

MTekk keeps track of the Web sites and pages our users visit within MTekk, in order to determine what MTekk services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within MTekk to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

MTekk Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on MTekk or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of MTekk; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of MTekk, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The MTekk Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize MTekk pages, or register with MTekk site or services, a cookie helps MTekk to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same MTekk Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the MTekk features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the MTekk services or Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

MTekk secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. MTekk secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

MTekk will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect feedback. MTekk encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how MTekk is protecting your information.
