PI may include, but is not limited to, your first and last name, business address, email address, and telephone number. We may also combine the PI that we collect on our Site with information we collect about you offline.

We collect the following types of information:

PI Provided by You

We collect PI from you when you use our Site. While we do not require you to provide PI in order to navigate our Site.   If you choose to use our Site, we may also collect PI when you provide us with PI in any correspondence, including any of your questions, comments, or suggestions submitted through our Site or if you fill out a survey or the contact us form. 

When you voluntarily provide us with a cell phone number on our Site, you are giving us express written consent to use that number for the purpose indicated. You may revoke this consent at any time by any reasonable method. Your consent to be contacted by us is not required in order to use our site.

Cookies enable a website such as ours to keep track of your activities on that website, and to improve your use of the website, such as by keeping track of your preferences.

You can change your browser settings on your personal computer or mobile device so that cookies are not stored. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Site, but you may not have access to some of our Site’s functions and your ability to use some areas of our Site may be limited. 

We may also use other website or mobile tracking technologies to identify you and keep track of your preferences, prevent fraudulent activity, or improve Site security, assess the performance of our Site, and deliver content to you based on your interests on our Site and third-party websites.

Third-Party Data Collection

Some content or applications accessible through our Site may be provided by third parties, including analytics companies, payment processors, and advertising providers. Our Site also includes social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” button and other widgets, such as the “Share” button or interactive mini-programs provided by third parties. These third parties may use cookies or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our Site. The information they collect may be associated with your PI or they may collect information, including PI, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services.

We do not control the third-parties’ tracking technologies that are accessible through our Site or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should read any privacy policy provided by the third-party website or contact the responsible provider directly. Some of these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used for targeted advertising. For example, some of these third parties may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”), which provide a single location where you can opt out of certain types of data collection or opt out of receiving targeted ads from member companies. To opt out, please visit the NAI’s website at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp or www.aboutads.info to exercise choice with respect to participants of the DAA. 

One third-party service we use is Google Analytics, which is a service provided by Google. Google utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of our Site and may share this data with other Google services.

Data Storage and Security

The security of your PI is important to us. We maintain reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security measures to protect and limit access to your PI. No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage technology is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your PI, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. 

You should exercise discretion in what information you send to us by email. We cannot guarantee that email sent over the Internet is secure and will not be intercepted by others before it reaches us. We are not responsible for the security of information contained in emails sent over the Internet. 

MachH2 shall retain your PI until the purpose of collecting/retaining such data has been satisfied. If you subsequently agree to a new or additional purpose, your PI may be retained for that.
