mpowered Solutions, Inc. (herein referred to as "mpowered Solutions") collects and stores personal information, including the full name, company name (if applicable), billing address, credit card number and expiration date, email address, and source IP address for all customers.

Customer information is stored in electronic databases. mpowered Solutions employs industry-standard technical safeguards, including but not necessarily limited to encryption of credit card information, password and/or cryptographic key-based authentication controls on servers which house personal information, browser-based SSL encryption, and other storage system access control mechanisms to protect the integrity of internal databases and prevent unauthorized access. Unless otherwise indicated by amendment to this privacy policy, in which case customers shall be notified and given the opportunity to exercise the "opt out" provisions discussed in this policy, personal information is stored only for use according to the purposes for which it was initially collected.

mpowered Solutions transfers personal information to third parties under the following normal business procedures:

1. mpowered Solutions discloses the full name, billing address, and credit card account information of its customers to a third party merchant processing provider for billing purposes. mpowered Solutions does not disclose customer information to other third parties except where required under applicable state and federal laws for purposes of investigation of criminal complaints, or where required by court order.
2. mpowered Solutions discloses the billing address, network IP address, and a partial credit card number (for issuing bank identification purposes) of customers to a third party as part of the sign-up process for fraud detection purposes.

Customers have access to account-specific personal information stored about them via mpowered Solutions' web-based interface for account management. Customers may update their information at any time. Customers who cancel their account may request that their personal information be deleted from mpowered Solutions' databases, with the exception of:

1. network access logs, which may be stored for any duration of time at mpowered Solutions's discretion,
2. cases where financially fraudulent or otherwise illegal activity is deemed to have occurred (as determined by mpowered Solutions management or law enforcement officials), in which case personal information may be retained indefinitely for purposes of ongoing investigation and prevention of fraud recurrence, or
3. cases where a customer's violation of the mpowered Solutions Terms of Service has resulted in cancellation of the customer's account (as defined by revocation of the customer's permission to utilize mpowered Solutions's services), in which case personal information may be retained indefinitely for purposes of prevention of further use of mpowered Solutions' services in the future by the offending individual.
