This Policy discloses Media Partners Corporation (collectively, "We", "Us", "Our") privacy practices and expresses our commitment to keeping you informed of the information we collect and how it is used. We ask that you take time to read it carefully. We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect new uses, rules, regulations or technologies that impact your privacy.

Information Collection

You make the decision whether or not to proceed with any activity that requests personal information, but please be aware that if you choose not to provide the information requested, you may not be able to complete certain transactions with Media Partners.

Sometimes, such as when you register for a service, order a product, participate on our blog, request a free demo or make other inquiries, we will ask for specific information about you in order to provide that product or service to you. We will need certain personal information such as name, contact information, and billing information including credit card number.

Please remember that when you submit information to a discussion group, blog, or some other public forum, the information submitted will be deemed public information and will not be considered confidential. You should be aware that any personal information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. To request removal of your personal information from our blog or community forum, contact us at support@mediapartners.com. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your personal information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.

• DATA RETENTION
  
  We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services.

Data Security

Media Partners is committed to ensuring the security of your information. We use encryption technology, privacy protection controls and restrictions on employee access in order to safeguard your personal information. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however.

Every Media Partners employee must abide by our Privacy Policy. Only authorized employees will have access to your personal information and such access is limited to a need-to-know basis. If, for example, you call us with a concern or complaint, the Media Partners representative is allowed to access the personal information that he/she requires to address your particular concern.

Internet Commerce

Media Partners uses industry-standard security measures available through your browser called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption for all Online Store purchases where sensitive data such as your credit card information is collected. If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 1.0 or later or Netscape 1.0 or later as your Web browser, your transactions are fully encrypted and secure. When you see either a locked padlock icon or a solid key icon in the status bar of your browser window, then your connection is secured through SSL. We always use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving your personal information within our Online Store. Furthermore, all of the customer data we collect is protected against unauthorized access.

Handling of Customer's Media

Media Partners, upon Customer's request and subject to all payment requirements and contract terms, shall convert, through its own efforts and those of its sub-contractors, Customer's multimedia materials into a streaming video and/or audio format, or another agreed upon format.

Customer should not provide Media Partners with the original of the materials to be converted and, in no instance, shall Media Partners be liable to Customer for direct damages for loss of, or other damage to, Customer's materials greater than the cost of the medium on which the materials were transmitted to Media Partners.
