You can find more information about how
we process personal information by referring to the privacy notices
for particular services.
Meridian Capital Group processes personal
information on our servers in the United States of America.
Choices for personal information
When you sign up for a particular service that requires registration,
we ask you to provide personal information. If we use this information
in a manner different than the purpose for which it was collected,
then we will ask for your consent prior to such use.
If we propose
to use personal information for any purposes other than those described
in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, we will offer
you an effective way to opt out of the use of personal information
for those other purposes. We will not collect or use sensitive information for
purposes other than those described in this Policy and/or in the
specific service notices, unless we have obtained your prior consent.
You
can decline to submit personal information to any of our services,
in which case Meridian Capital Group may not be able to provide those
services to you.
Information sharing
Meridian Capital Group only shares personal information with other
companies or individuals outside of Meridian Capital Group in the
following limited circumstances:
| - |
We have your consent. We require
opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive personal information. |
| - |
We provide such information to
our subsidiaries, affiliated companies or other trusted businesses
or persons for the purpose of processing personal information
on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process
such information based on our instructions and in compliance
with this Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality
and security measures. |
| - |
We have a good faith belief that
access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information
is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law,
regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request,
(b) enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation
of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise
address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect
against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of
Meridian Capital Group, its users or the public as required
or permitted by law. |
If Meridian Capital Group becomes involved in a merger, acquisition,
or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will provide
notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject
to a different privacy policy.
Please contact us at the address below for any additional questions
about the management or use of personal data.
Information security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized
access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of
data. 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 we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal information to Meridian Capital Group
employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information
in order to operate, develop or improve our services. 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.
Data integrity
Meridian Capital Group processes 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 our services. 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 you use Meridian Capital Group services, we make good faith
efforts to provide you with access to your personal information
and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete
such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be
retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual
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. Some of our services have different procedures to access,
correct or delete users' personal information.
