Cookies and Tracking

Cookies are electronic collections of information stored on a local computer that are used by websites to keep track of visitors and registered users and to relate one computer transaction to a later one, and other methods of uniquely tracking visitors for different purposes.

You may set your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or change the settings on your web browser to clear or disable cookies. If you decide not to accept cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of all of the features of MACSC's website. Additionally, please be aware that if you visit third party websites where you are prompted to log in or that are customizable, you may be required to accept cookies. Cookies do not enable third parties to access any of your personal (e.g., contact) information. However, advertisers and partners may also use their own cookies.

Cookies for Improving Our Web Site

Use of Information

MACSC uses information it collects primarily to provide and collect payment for its memberships and other services. Passively collected information, such as information collected from or about your device including through the placement or reading of cookies or other tracking technologies is used to provide a customized experience as you use MACSC's services.

Membership Contact/Account Information.

The information collected from Members are used to manage each Member's account (such as for billing and account management purposes) and to promote other products or services that MACSC believes may be of interest to its Members. MACSC may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from information that Members provide during registration (such as the total number of Members in a given category, but not their names). As explained in more detail below, MACSC may in certain instances use this aggregated and non-identifying information to promote advertisements that appear on MACSC's website and in connection with its services. Any such aggregated and non-identifying information that MACSC collects, and any analysis of such information that it produces, is proprietary information of MACSC.

GPHA uses information gathered from its website analytics (for example, User IP addresses) to help diagnose problems with GPHA servers, and to administer and optimize GPHA's website. GPHA also gathers broad demographic information from this data to help improve its website and make your browsing and purchasing experience more responsive, efficient, or enjoyable. Any statistics gathered by GPHA are proprietary property of GPHA.

Responses to Email Inquiries.

When Members send email inquiries to GPHA, the return email address (and other personal information provided in the inquiry) is used to answer the email inquiry received.

Sharing of Information Confidentiality.

With the exception of other members of the Endurance corporate family and trusted business partners who work with or on behalf of MACSC, and are subject to specific confidentiality agreements, MACSC will not provide or sell to any third party your personal information and will keep all Member information confidential, subject to the following:

Co-marketing Activities.

Some services are offered or promoted in conjunction with a GPHA partner or sponsor. For example, GPHA may partner with other corporate affiliates of Endurance or with trusted non-affiliated partners for co-promotions of a particular product or service. MACSC may share certain Member contact information but no billing information with MACSC's partner or sponsor in order to provide the relevant services or to run the promotion. If MACSC shares Member information with partners and sponsors, GPHA requires that they maintain the Member information in confidence, and use the information solely for purposes of providing the services or carrying out the agreed upon promotion.

Legal Reasons.

MACSC may access, preserve and share Member information with companies, organizations, governmental entities or individuals outside of GPHA if we believe, in good faith, that the law requires us to do so. This may include, but is not limited to, responding to subpoenas, court orders or other legal processes (such as law enforcement requests). MACSC may access, preserve and share Member information as necessary to: establish or exercise MACSC's legal rights or defend against any legal claim including threatened claims involving MACSC based on the anonymity of a domain name; investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected fraud or other illegal activities; prevent death or serious physical harm to any person; or investigate violations of MACSC's Terms of Service.
