We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems and who are required to keep the information confidential. When you place orders or access your personal information, we offer the use of a secure server. All sensitive/credit information you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our databases to be only accessed as stated above.

Except for Web site hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our Web site, we do not sell, trade or otherwise transfer to outside parties personally identifiable information that you voluntarily provide to us unless we receive your express consent in advance.

COOKIES
When you visit this site, we may leave a “cookie” in the memory of your Web browser. Cookies are bits of electronic information that a Website operator can transfer to your hard drive to help tailor and keep records of your visit to the site. The use of cookies is standard on the Internet and many Web sites use them, including ours. Cookies allow us to better customize your visits to our site to your individual preferences. We also contract with third-party service providers who assign cookies (which do not contain any personally identifiable information) to conduct site tracking for us. These companies use cookies solely to provide us with aggregate data about site traffic. Although most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can usually change your browser to prevent that or notify you whenever you’re sent a cookie. If you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies. However, if you do that, some parts of this site and other sites may not work as well.

E-MAIL HARVESTING
E-mail Harvesting Bots (automatic programs that collect e-mail addresses from Web sites by scanning HTML for @ symbols and other criteria) are a constant problem for the World Wide Web and Internet Community.

By having your e-mail address posted on this Web site you accept the possibility of having your e-mail address harvested and used for SPAM purposes.

Your continued use of the MDF Web site or acceptance of our e-mails following the posting of changes to these terms will mean that you accept these changes.
