Our use of personal data

We use personal data to:

Operate, evaluate, and improve our business. We may use the personal data we collect to administer, enhance, maintain, repair, personalize, and improve our products and services, develop new products, services, websites, and mobile apps, manage our communications and customer relationships, undertake quality and safety assurance measures, and perform accounting, auditing, billing, reconciliation, collection, and similar activities.

Respond to your request for information, order, or support. When you contact us, we collect and use information necessary to respond to your request, grant you access to a product or service, and provide you with support. For instance, we may collect your name and contact information, payment and partner rewards program account number and/or rewards or loyalty program eligibility information, and details about the fulfillment delivery and invoicing of your order, and we may include client satisfaction survey information.

Conduct marketing. We use personal data to provide you with personalized advertising, marketing materials, and content, and to determine the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns. We may combine the personal data we collect to develop aggregate analysis and business intelligence for conducting our business and for marketing and personalization purposes. We may retain such information for administrative purposes, to defend our rights, and to manage our relationship with you.

Administer or fulfill a rewards or loyalty program or similar offer. When you enroll in one of our rewards or loyalty programs or participate in a contest, promotion, survey, or offer, we may collect information in order to administer or fulfill such program or offer.

Manage physical sites and event visits and secure persons and property. We may register individuals visiting our physical sites and locations (name, identification, and contact information) and use video, CCTV, camera, or other visual supervision for reasons of security and safety of persons and belongings, as well as for regulatory purposes.

Prevent fraudulent or other criminal activity. We may use the personal data we collect to verify your identity, protect against and prevent fraud and other unlawful activity, unauthorized transactions, claims and other liabilities, for safety and security purposes, and to manage risk exposure and quality.

Meet legal, regulatory and compliance obligations. We may use personal data to conduct investigations, and comply with and enforce applicable legal requirements, relevant industry standards, contractual obligations, and our policies and terms.

We may aggregate and/or anonymize personal data so that it will no longer be considered personal data. We do so to generate other data for our use, which we may use and disclose for any purpose, as it no longer identifies you or any other individual.

We disclose personal data to:

Affiliated entities. We disclose personal data to our affiliates for the purposes described in this Statement.

Business partners. We may disclose personal data to our joint venture partners and, where appropriate, with selected business partners for a business purpose such as providing you with products or services, facilitating your transactions, or fulfilling your requests. In some cases, a partner’s own privacy policy may apply to its use of your personal data.

By participating in an Offer, you agree to the terms, conditions and/or official rules that govern that Offer. If you choose to participate in an Offer, personal data may be disclosed to third parties, including select partners, in connection with the administration of the Offer, including, without limitation, tracking and redemption of rewards and as may be required by applicable law. The third party’s own privacy policy may apply to its use of your personal data.

Government and regulatory authorities. We may disclose personal data to authorities if required to do so by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, warrant or similar legal process or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to protect and fulfill our legal obligations, defend our rights or property, or in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of any individual.

If you would like to request to access, correct, update, suppress, restrict, or delete personal data, object to or opt out of the processing of personal data, or if you would like to request to receive a copy of your personal data for purposes of transmitting it to another company (to the extent these rights are provided to you by applicable law), you may contact us in accordance with the how to contact us section below.

You may receive advertisements based on information relating to your access to and use of the Services and other websites or online services on any of your devices, as well as on information received from third parties.

Third-party payment services

The Services may provide functionality allowing you to make payments to MTerra using third-party payment services with which you have created your own account. When you use such a service to make a payment to us, your personal data will be collected by such third party and not by us and will be subject to the third party’s privacy policy, rather than this Statement. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, this third party’s collection, use, and disclosure of personal data.

Sensitive personal data

Unless we request it, we ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any sensitive personal data (e.g., Social Security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background, or trade union membership) on or through the Services or otherwise to us.

Jurisdiction and cross-border transfers

Your personal data may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and by using the Services you understand that your information will be transferred to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your personal data.

Retention of personal data

We retain personal data, including sensitive personal data, for as long as needed or as otherwise consistent with the purposes for which it was collected. When determining the retention period, we use various criteria, including: the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide services to you; the legitimate business purposes for which we collect and process personal data as described in this Statement, including retention of personal data related to the defense and pursuit of legal claims; and whether we are subject to a legal obligation that requires us to retain records.

Security

We seek to use reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures designed to protect personal data within our organization. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Links to third-party websites or services

This Statement does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any website or service to which the Services link. The inclusion of a link on the Services does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates. In addition, we are not responsible for the information collection, use, disclosure, or security policies or practices of other organizations, such as Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft, RIM, or any other app developer, app provider, social media platform provider, operating system provider, wireless service provider, or device manufacturer, including with respect to any personal data you disclose to other organizations through or in connection with the Apps or our Social Media Pages.

MTerra may occasionally change or update this Statement. When we do, we will post the revised Statement on this page with a new “effective” date. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Statement on this page.
