Except as provided in this statement, MGShareware will not disclose, sell or rent any personally identifiable information without the user’s proper consent. The MGShareware user is given final word on whether or not to share such information with MGShareware. Please use discretion, because MGShareware cannot be held accountable for the use, collection or distribution of personal information freely provided by users with any of our tools or services.

Information Retention

To preserve the integrity of website databases MGShareware procedure is to retain information submitted by users for an indefinite length of time. By submitting information to MGShareware, you are consenting to store that information indefinitely. If required by applicable federal or state law, such as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA,) MGShareware will scramble and/or encrypt that information to make it unrecognizable. MGShareware will also respond to written user requests to scramble account information. If you wish to make such a request, which will require you to verify your identity, please contact the MGShareware Policy Manager.

This type of information will not include any data that identifies users as an individual, such as email address, home address or telephone number. If the user provides such information as part of an optional promotion, contest, survey or similar program they are subject to the separate privacy rules and expectations of each individual program.

In addition to on-site advertising, MGShareware may advertise products, companies and events that we think might interest you through the email address you provide if you choose to receive such solicitations. The user is always able to ask MGShareware not to contact them with such information again. Users will not be included in promotions, contests, submission opportunities, solicitations or other programs unless they opt-in. If you receive unsolicited email from a MGShareware domain, please contact our Policy Manager.
