Collection of your Personal Information

MTS collects personally identifiable information, such as your email address, name, home or work address or telephone number.

MTS encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from MTS so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. MTS is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the MTS and MTS family of Web sites.

Use of your Personal Information

MTS collects and uses your personal information to operate the MTS Web site and deliver the services you have requested.

MTS does not sell, rent or lease its user lists to third parties. MTS may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for other services. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to MTS, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

MTS Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on MTS or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of MTS; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of MTS, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The MTS Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise MTS pages, or register with MTS site or services, a cookie helps MTS to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the MTS services or Web sites you visit.
