<h2>Sharing Information with Third Parties</h2>
<p>MBS does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties.</p>
<p>MBS may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.

All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to MBS, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.</p>

<h2>Automatically Collected Information</h2>
<p>Information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by MBS. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the MBS website.</p>
<h2>Use of Cookies</h2>
<p>The MBS website may 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.</p>
<p>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 personalize MBS pages, or register with MBS site or services, a cookie helps MBS to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same MBS website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the MBS features that you customized.</p>
<p>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 MBS services or websites you visit.</p>
<h2>Security of your Personal Information</h2>
<p>MBS secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. MBS uses the following methods for this purpose:</p>
<ul>
<li>SSL Protocol</li>
</ul>
<p>When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.</p>
<p>We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
