Matrix Marketing Group LLC is committed to protecting the privacy of our website visitors and clients. We uphold the highest industry standards in online privacy and permission marketing.
Security and Privacy
Matrix Marketing Group LLC’s Website uses security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. We store the information in a database in a secure environment at our data center. We will never share, sell, or rent individual personal information with anyone without your advance permission or unless ordered by a court of law. Information submitted to us is only available to employees managing this information to contact you or send you e-mails based on your requested information.
Choice Opt-in
Visitors are allowed to ‘opt-in’ to having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site when we ask for the information. Users of our site will always be notified if any outside parties are collecting their information. We do this to ensure that our users can make an informed choice as to whether or not they should proceed with services that require an outside party.
Information Tracked
We currently contract with several online partners to help manage and optimize our Internet business and communications. We use the services of a marketing company to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and how visitors use our site. To do this, we use Web beacons and cookies provided by our marketing company on this site. At times, we will use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Website. We also may track browser types, monitor resolutions, browser type, version, and other technical information to help us understand our visitors’ needs related to our Website design. By supplementing our records, this information helps us learn what pages are most attractive to our visitors, which of our products most interest our customers, and what kinds of offers our customers like to see. Although our marketing company logs the information coming from our site on our behalf, we control how that data may and may not be used. There is an optional section of our Website where input forms require your name, company, and e-mail address. This form provides the ability to opt-in to receive future emails of any sort from Matrix Marketing Group LLC. If you opt-in to receiving email communications from us, then we may send information to you on our products or services. If you do not want to help us learn how to improve our site, products, offers, and marketing strategy, you can “opt out” of our ability to analyze such data, or you may review and change your information with us at any time by clicking on the “modify profile” link or similar found at the bottom of emails sent via our system, or by contacting us at info@matrixmarketinggroup.com.
Cookies
We use the standard “cookie” feature of major browser applications to allow us to store data about your visit (such data is stored in the aggregate form). Cookies help us learn which areas of our site are useful and which areas need improvement. Cookies are also used to verify the login status of customers using products or services linked directly to our Website. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site; however, the user may not be able to access all areas of our site.

Suppose at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected. In that case, we will notify users by way of an e-mail. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. Privacy Policy Effective Date: Thursday, February 10, 2015.
