MTS policy regarding use of your individual identifying information supplied to us or collected via your experience at our online website covers these areas:
This Online Privacy Statement is made available to you in order to make you aware of how MTS collects and uses individual identifying information of visitors to MTS website.
MTS may collect the following information from visitors to our website: domain name, name, information regarding what pages are accessed, information volunteered by you, such as survey information, employment information, email address, or site registrations, and your preferred means of communication. MTS does not make individual identifying information available to third parties for marketing purposes.
Should you sign up for an email list, you will be given instructions at that time on how to remove yourself from that list. MTS is committed to taking reasonable steps to protect the individual identifying information that you provide to us. The accuracy of your individual identifying information is important to MTS. We are working on ways to make it easier for you to review and correct the information that MTS maintains about you.
We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Our employees, agents and contractors who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect the information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Statement and we seek assurances from such third parties that they will provide the same level of privacy protection as this Privacy Statement requires. We do not transfer information to third parties who are not acting as MTS's agent or on MTS's behalf.
We may provide access to your personally identifiable information when legally required to do so, to cooperate with police investigations or other legal proceedings, to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our website, to limit our legal liability and protect our rights, or to protect the rights and safety of visitors to this website or the public. In those instances, the information is provided only for that limited purpose.
We will not share your personally identifiable information in ways unrelated to those described herein without providing you with an opportunity to opt out of such use or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
MTS may also disclose your personal data to other MTS entities for the purpose of providing you with testing information or administering the test. These MTS entities may be located outside the country in which you take the test, and your personal information may be processed or stored there to provide results and information to your test sponsor. Adequate protection of your personal information is ensured at all MTS entities.
You may access, limit the use of, or change your personal information by contacting your test sponsor during normal business hours. If you test with multiple test sponsors, MTS may update your personal information for all test sponsors upon receipt of a change to your personal information. The above processing is necessary to administer a test to you, and we cannot register you for a test, if you do not agree to personal information processing by MTS as described above. You will have to contact your test sponsor if you do not agree to this processing. If you visit our website and volunteer personally identifiable information, you may also modify, update or delete such information at any time by clicking on the "Contact Us" link and sending us an e-mail. You should be aware, however, that it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in our databases. In addition, please be aware that your ability to opt out from receiving marketing and promotional materials does not change our right to contact you regarding your use of our website.
