For third parties acting as M27editions’s Agent, M27editions will ascertain that the third party subscribes to the Privacy Shield principles, is subject to the EU Data Protection Directive, or has entered into an agreement with M27editions that is consistent with the Privacy Shield principles.
In the context of an onward transfer, M27editions has responsibility for the processing of personal information it receives under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to an Agent on its behalf. M27editions shall remain liable under the Privacy Shield principles if its Agent processes such personal information in a manner inconsistent with such principles, unless M27editions proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
M27editions takes reasonable technical, administrative and physical measures to protect the security of your personal information from unauthorized use, disclosure and alteration.
When you place orders or access your personal account information, you're utilizing a secure connection via SSL, which encrypts your personal information before it's sent over the Internet.
M27editions provides information and training to all employees who have access to personally identifiable data maintained by M27editions, and M27editions employees are responsible for the internal security of such information.
M27editions will not process personally identifiable information in any way that is incompatible or inconsistent with the purpose for which such information was collected.
M27editions takes all reasonable measures to ensure that such information is reliable for its intended use, and is accurate, complete and current.
Inside the company, data is stored in password-controlled servers with limited access.
You also have a significant role in protecting your information. No one can see or edit your personal information without knowing your user name and password, so do not share these with others.
M27editions does not knowingly collect or maintain information acquired through our site from persons under 13 years of age, and no part of the site or services is directed to persons under 13 years of age. Any user under 13 years of age should not use or access our site at any time or in any manner.
