Definitions of personal data

Practices and procedures to collect your personal data

MTO IT, Inc. will collect personally identifiable information whenever you do the following:

1. Provide personal information through the use of enquiry and registration forms, personal contact, or email. The information collected will be relevant to the provision of the services that you requested from MTO IT, Inc. and will be used only for these purposes.

1.  Notice. Where MTO IT, Inc. collects personal information directly from individuals, it will inform them about the type of personal information collected, the purposes for which it collects and uses the personal information, and the types of non-agent third parties to which MTO IT, Inc. discloses or may disclose that information, and the choices and means, if any, MTO IT, Inc. offers individuals for limiting the use and disclosure of their personal information. Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when individuals are first asked to provide personal information to MTO IT, Inc. or as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event before MTO IT, Inc. uses or discloses the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected. Where MTO IT, Inc. receives personal information from its subsidiaries, affiliates or other entities, it will use and disclose that information in accordance with the notices provided by those entities and the choices made by the individuals to whom the personal information relates.
2. Choice. MTO IT, Inc. will offer individuals the opportunity to affirmatively consent (opt in) to the disclosure of the personal information to a non-agent third party. For sensitive personal information, MTO IT, Inc. will give individuals the opportunity to affirmatively consent (opt in) to the use of the sensitive personal information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual, or to the disclosure of the information to a non-agent third party. MTO IT, Inc. will provide individuals with a reasonable mechanism to exercise their choices.

4. Transfers to agents. MTO IT, Inc. may provide information stored on the site and on its systems to agents for the purposes listed in the following section “Do We Share The Information We Receive?” Prior to sharing of your personal information, an agreement is made between MTO IT, Inc. and the agent to whom we are transferring data. Under this agreement, the agent will be held to privacy standards equal to those of MTO IT, Inc. Where MTO IT, Inc. becomes aware that an agent is using or disclosing personal information in a manner contrary to this Privacy Policy, MTO IT, Inc. will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop that use or disclosure.
5. Security. MTO IT, Inc. will take reasonable precautions to protect personal information in its possession from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. MTO IT, Inc. has in place appropriate technical and organizational security measures to prevent unauthorized or unlawful disclosure or access to or, accidental or unlawful loss of or destruction, or alteration or unauthorized disclosure of or access to, or other damage to your personal data.
These measures include, but are not limited to, the use of encryption technology, regularly scheduled backups with sensitive media secured in locked storage, and physical access limitations to the servers and media that store personal information. These measures ensure an appropriate level of security in relation to the risks inherent in the processing and the nature of the personal data to be protected. Our personnel who have access to personal information have been trained to maintain the confidentiality of the information. Data transmissions over the Internet cannot, however, be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, although we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from the site, and you do so at your own risk.
6.  Enforcement. MTO IT, Inc. will conduct compliance audits of its relevant privacy practices to verify adherence to this Privacy Policy. Any employee that MTO IT, Inc. determines is in violation of this Privacy Policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

Do We Share the Information We Receive?
