Other Uses of Information
We may use the personal information you provide on our website for internal purposes, such as for website administration, data analytics, and compliance purposes.
Blogs and Other Public Forums
The Site makes blogs and other such user-generated content facilities available to users of the Site, and registered users can provide content for and participate in these facilities. Any information that is disclosed in these areas of our Site becomes public information, and you should always be careful when deciding to disclose your personal information.
When you use this facility and provide us with personal data of a third party (e.g., a name and email address), please ensure that you have that party’s consent before giving us these details.
Nonpersonal Information We Collect
We collect certain aggregated and nonpersonal information when you visit our website. Aggregated and nonpersonal information does not relate to a single, identifiable visitor. Instead, it tells us such information as how many users visited our website and which pages were accessed. By collecting this information, we learn how to best tailor our website to our visitors. We collect this information either through “cookie” technology or with “web beacons,” as explained below.
Cookies
Like many companies, we use “cookies” on our website(s). Cookies are bits of text that are placed on your computer’s hard drive when you visit certain websites. We use cookies to tell us, for example, whether you have visited us before or whether you are a new visitor and to help us identify site features in which you may have the greatest interest. Cookies may enhance your online experience by saving your preferences while you are visiting a particular site. Most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of all our website features.
To optimize our website’s efficiency, we use cookies and other identifiers to gather usage and performance data. We use cookies to count the number of unique visitors to a web page or service and to develop other statistics about the operations of our website. This includes cookies from MPS and from third-party analytics providers. In particular, we use cookies from Google Analytics (read Google’s privacy policy).
Web Beacons
Certain pages on our website contain “web beacons” (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags, and clear GIFs or javascript equivalents). These web beacons allow third parties to obtain such information as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and the information in cookies set by the third party.
GDPR – European Data Protection Rights
When we process personal data about you, we do so with your consent and/or as necessary to provide the website you use, operate our business, protect the security of our systems and our customers, or fulfill other legitimate interests of MPS as described in this privacy statement.
MPS adheres to applicable data protection laws in the European Economic Area. The processing of personal data is based on your consent: you have a right to withdraw consent at any time for future processing, and you have the right to inquire whether your personal data are being erased, subject to certain exceptions. You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data. We are committed to protecting the security of your personal data and use a variety of types of security technology and procedures to help protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
Information We Share
MPS uses your data to protect the security and safety of our website. We use these data to communicate with you and personalize our messages. You can sign up for email subscriptions and choose whether you wish to receive promotional communications from MPS by email, SMS, mail, and telephone about managing your contact data.
We do not sell or otherwise disclose information about our website visitors, except as described here. We may share the information you provide with affiliates of MPS Europa AG (i.e., companies in our group) and our joint marketing partners. We may also share the information with service providers we have retained to perform services on our behalf. These service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. In addition, we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process, (ii) to law enforcement agencies following an appropriate request, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.
We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event that we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use the information you have provided through our website(s) in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice.
How We Protect Personal Information
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect against the loss, misuse, or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the information you provide on our website.
Access and Correction
MPS Europa AG will provide website users with access to a copy of their personal information that they have provided through our site(s), where such users are reasonably entitled to ask for this (for which we may charge a small fee not exceeding the statutory maximum), and they will have the ability to review and correct it, as applicable. To help protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity, such as requiring a password and user ID, before granting access to your information.
