Information we collect
The information gathered is used in several ways, such as to provide, operate, and maintain the website while improving, personalizing, and expanding its offerings. It also helps the organization understand and analyze user behavior, develop new products, services, features, and functionality, and communicate updates or marketing materials directly or through partners. Furthermore, this data is used to send emails and to detect and prevent fraudulent activity.
MECT utilizes standard log files as part of its hosting services and analytics procedures. These files record information such as internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser types, Internet Service Providers (ISP), date and time stamps, referring and exit pages, and the number of clicks. These details are not linked to any personally identifiable information and are intended solely for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking user movement, and gathering demographic information.
The website may feature content from advertising partners who use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons to measure the performance of their campaigns and personalize the advertisements you see. These third parties automatically receive your IP address, and MECT maintains no access to or control over these technologies. Because this policy does not govern other advertisers or websites, you are encouraged to review the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information and instructions on how to opt out of certain options. You may disable cookies through your individual browser settings.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California consumers have specific rights, including the ability to request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal data collected, to request the deletion of that data, and to opt out of the sale of their personal information. MECT commits to responding to these requests within one month.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) ensures that users are fully aware of their data protection rights. These include the right to access copies of personal data, the right to request the rectification of inaccurate or incomplete information, and the right to request the erasure of data under certain conditions. Additionally, users have the right to restrict or object to the processing of their personal data and the right to data portability, which allows for the transfer of collected data to another organization or the user. MECT will address any such requests within one month.
Protecting children online is another core priority, and the organization encourages parents and guardians to monitor and guide their children’s internet activity. MECT does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child has provided such information on the website, you are encouraged to contact the organization immediately so that they may take prompt action to remove it from their records.
