Information Collected by our “Sites” (our “Website” at www.mmguardian.com and our “Family Web Portal” at family.mmguardian.com)

When you visit or interact with our Sites we may collect or store information about your interaction with our Sites (“Usage Information”). This may include details of the device used to access the Website such as operating system, browser type, the address of a referring site (if any) and your activity on our Sites such as what pages were visited and what links were clicked. We may also collect or store Your IP address.

Usage Information is typically anonymous information. However, if it is combined with your Personal Information in a manner that reasonably allows it to be associated with your identity, or is otherwise considered Personal Information under applicable law, it will be treated as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy. We treat your IP address as Personal Information.

If you use the Contact Support form on our Website we will collect, store or process the email address that You provided.

We also use Cookies and Google Analytics to collect and store Usage Information for interactions with both our Website and Family Web Portal (our “Sites”) as follows:

Cookies

A cookie is a small data file placed onto the device that You use to visit our Sites.

When visiting our Website:

- We place cookies on your device to remember the address of a referring site (if any), so that for example when you click on a button the referring information can be passed on to the app store when downloading one of our applications.

- If you watch a YouTube video that is embedded in our site, Google will place cookies on your device related to your viewing of the YouTube video as described in How Google uses cookies (https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies). Our embedded videos have privacy-enhanced mode enabled, so if you do not play a video this will not occur.

When you log into our WebPortal:

- We place certain short term session related cookies on your device that are required to enable you to access password protected parts of the WebPortal, and also longer lasting cookies to remember your preferences, such as choice of language.

- If a purchase by one of the payment processor companies that we use (PayPal and Stripe) is initiated, that company will place cookies on your device. For further details please refer to PayPal cookies (https://www.paypal.com/ie/webapps/mpp/ua/cookie-full) and Stripe cookie policy (https://stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal)

For full details of the cookies that may be placed on your device, see www.mmguardian.com/cookies.

Google Analytics:

We collect analytics data using Google Analytics. Within Member States of the European Union or other signatories of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and within the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar) you will be asked to consent to or reject our Sites’ use of Google Analytics.

For further information about how Google Analytics information is collected and processed, please refer to How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps (www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/). You can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking here (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/).

Our website utilises Google Analytics, a web analytics tool by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, text files stored on your computer that enable analysis of how you use the website. The cookie-generated information about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. However, if you are in a country that is a member state of the European Union or a contracting party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area or in the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar), Google will first truncate your IP address. Only in exceptional situations will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. Google will use such information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services to us in relation to website use and internet use. Google will not combine the IP address transmitted by your browser via Google Analytics with other Google data. You can disable cookies by setting your browser accordingly; however, if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent collection and transfer of the analytics data generated by cookies and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google, as well as the processing of such data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/eula.html?hl=en.

As an alternative to installing the browser plug-in, particularly in internet browsers on mobile devices, you can prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics by clicking this link: Deactivate Google Analytics.

This will save an “opt-out” cookie to your device, meaning that none of your data will be collected on this website by Google Analytics.

Please note that if you delete cookies in your browser settings, this may mean the Google Analytics opt-out cookie is also deleted and may have to be re-activated by you.

More detailed information about the function of Google Analytics and the terms of use and privacy policy relevant to this service can be found under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html and http://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/. We would also like to point out that our website uses Google Analytics with the anonymizeIP extension so that IP addresses are only processed further in an abbreviated form to prevent them being directly linked to a particular individual.
