Mercom respects your privacy and recognizes your need for appropriate protection and management of your personal information such as your name, e-mail address and address. We recognize that when you choose to provide us with information about yourself, you trust us to act in a responsible manner. MERCOM has created this policy to inform you how your personal information will be treated as you make use of the data and software provided on this site.

NOTICE AND CHOICE
There are times when we request that you provide information such as your name, e-mail address and address. Generally this information is requested when you register to download our software or to attend an event or training. Valid email addresses are required in order for us to send you important notifications regarding the software you have downloaded, such as security bulletins, upgrades, licensing information, and maintenance schedules. Although you consent to receiving such notifications from us, you will always have the option to "opt out" of receiving additional information or related offers.

USE OF COOKIES
Mercom may use "cookies" to personalize your web browsing experience, or to recognize logged-in users on subsequent pages. "Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive which are then read back later. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that if you would rather not store the information for future use. It is recommended that you leave cookies turned on in order to access all areas of this Web site.

USE OF DATA
Resumes submitted by candidates applying for positions advertised on our website will be used exclusively for the purpose of establishing the candidate’s suitability for such positions, and the personal information contained within will not be sold, traded, or rented to third parties for purposes other than that. Mercom may use the aggregate statistics of customers and users in order to improve our products and services. Mercom may release information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to (1) comply with legal or regulatory requirements; (2) enforce or apply terms of the Mercom website user agreement; or (3) protect the rights, property or safety of Mercom or others.

SECURITY OF DATA
This site has reasonable security measures in place to protect the unauthorized access loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. We do not capture or store your billing information - instead, this is done by one of the most reputable third-party payment processing services in the USA.

POLICY SUBJECT TO CHANGE
If we decide to change our privacy practices, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always kept informed of what data we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. Please check this page for changes from time to time to make sure you are aware of our latest privacy practices. Please check back to see if these policies have changed.
