We do not collect identifiable personal information from our Site visitors without the Site visitor providing us with this information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
If you request to receive company or product information, or request information about specific Services, or provide comments about MCM Services, you will be asked to provide contact information so that we can complete your request. We use this Site Information to fulfil your request. We may also use this Site Information to send you additional information about our Services or Courses on the Site that you may be interested in.
Some of the Services require that you become a registered user and create a user account. This will require that you provide certain personally identifiable information, that may include (but not be limited to) your name, e-mail address, and telephone and address information.
You allow us to use this personally identifiable Site Information to register you to use MCM Services, and otherwise provide you with the Services; verify your authority to enter the Site and access MCM Services; notify you of updates; improve the content and general administration of the Site and the Services; provide you with notices regarding the Services and other services that you have purchased or may wish to purchase in the future.

Your data will be accessible by MCM employees, contractors and temporary workers if that data is required to assist in managing your account, or assist in providing the Voiceover Services. However this data will never be removed from or copied out of any of the MCM platforms.
We may also employ third party services or applications (data processors) to assist in providing MCM Services and again this data will only be made available to them for the purposes of providing those MCM Services. With these third party services or applications, adequate contracts will be employed to ensure confidentiality and the privacy of your data.
You agree that you are free, and/or have adequate license, and/or have adequate permission to use any data that you provide or upload to the Site and MCM Services.
