MECC PRIVACY POLICY
Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. Because we gather certain types of information about the users of www.mecc.vip, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it.
1. Information www.mecc.vip Gathers and Tracks:
Registration
Anyone who participates in interactive activities (chat, message boards, contest entry, store and fantasy product purchase, membership program) on www.mecc.vip may be asked to register for a free guest ID and password or to complete subscription registration for a member ID and password. We use customer contact information from this registration form to send the user information about our company and promotional material from some of our partners. Financial information that is collected issued to bill the user for products and services. The customer’s contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary for customer service reasons. Users may opt out of receiving future mailings; see the opt out section below. Unique identifiers, such as ID and passwords, are collected to verify the user’s identity and for use as account numbers in our record system.
IP Address
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. Your IP address is used to help identify you and your shopping cart.
Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you have visited. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. A cookie can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. This random number lets us keep track of “how many” times customers are doing specific things—like visiting our site each month—without really knowing who those customers are. We also use cookies to keep track of your shopping cart and to make sure you don’t see the same ad repeatedly. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to save your member ID. Additionally, after you’ve entered your member ID and password during a session on our service, we save that information, so you don’t have to reenter it repeatedly during that session.
Users should be aware that www.mecc.vip cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers or third parties hosting data for www.mecc.vip. If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, users should note that cookies may be necessary to provide the user with certain features (e.g., customized delivery of information) available on www.mecc.vip.
Order Forms
www.mecc.vip uses an order form for customers to purchase products and services. If you place an order at a store hosted by www.mecc.vip, we will collect information from you, including your credit card and contact information. This information will be used by the merchant to bill the user for products and services. Contact information from the order form will also be used to ship orders, to contact a user for customer service-related issues, and to send the user information about our company, and on occasion, promotional material from some of our partners. Users may opt out of receiving future mailings; see the opt out section below.
Surveys
Our online surveys ask visitors for their www.mecc.vip e-mail address and demographic information. Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. We use this data to tailor our visitor’s experience at our site, showing them content and promotional offers that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences.

In those cases, we urge users to review the privacy statement of the third-party site. Users may opt out of receiving future mailings; see the opt out section below.

2. Use of Information
All of the information we collect, both what you tell us and what we collect through the use of cookies, is “aggregated”—meaning that the information from many users is grouped together in a way that does not disclose the personal information of any particular user. We may use this aggregated information to evaluate which products and services are successful and which ones are not, and in order to evaluate which new services we should make available on our Web site. We may use only the anonymous click stream data to help our advertisers deliver better targeted advertisements. www.mecc.vip will not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process.
There may be cases in which some of your personal information may be used by www.mecc.vip to target e-commerce promotions and telemarketing activities. In addition, it may be shared with third parties who assist www.mecc.vip in producing its Web sites or provide a service to www.mecc.vip’s users.
We use the information to respond to your customer service requests; administer a contest, promotion, survey or other site feature; send periodic emails regarding your order or other products and services; follow up with you after correspondence (live chat, email or phone inquiries); and improve the services we render to our users and members.
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide users with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release information when it’s release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
3. General Privacy Information
www.mecc.vip contains links to partners, advertisers and third-party Internet sites and services who may collect data in connection with sweepstakes, promotions, e-commerce, etc. They each have separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of www.mecc.vip, and www.mecc.vip has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions and is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily and publicly disclose personal information on any online service or Web site—for example on message boards, through e-mail, or in chat areas—that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Furthermore, while we strive to protect your personal information, www.mecc.vip cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
Security
www.mecc.vip utilizes a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. All user contact information is contained behind a “firewall” and only accessible by a limited number of employees who have special access rights to production systems. Passwords and credit card numbers are encrypted in www.mecc.vip’s secure database which is also located behind a firewall. All sensitive credit information supplied by users is transmitted via Secured Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted in www.mecc.vip’s databases as stated above.
In the event a user wishes to modify their personal information they may do so by visiting the Member Services page located at www.mecc.vip. They will be required to submit a valid user ID and password for authentication before they are able to modify their file. If a user has forgotten his or her password or prefers to speak with a customer service representative to modify his or her personal information, he or she may contact customer service at MECC Customer Service, P.O. Box 431725, Miami, FL 33243. The user will be asked to provide his or her name or user ID and then to verify certain non-sensitive information (i.e., mother’s maiden name) in order to proceed. Because password and credit card information has been encrypted, it is completely invisible to any employee who accesses it, including our customer service team. If a user wishes to change their password, the customer service representative will reset to a new one after the member has properly identified himself or herself.
www.mecc.vip’s technology department conducts frequent site security audits and employs a third-party audit company to perform additional site security audits.
Every www.mecc.vip employee is required to sign a policy which clearly outlines the company’s policy with respect to security and defines the action the company will take with any employee who breaches the policy.
