As a convenience to you, MWD Services provides you with access to external communication nodes and third party social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, iMessage, and others. In general, this will be through a sharing interface or link provided on one of the website’s pages. When you share information with a social networking application or site, you could disclose information (for example, your name, picture, location, friends, or other personal details) that could become public knowledge. You agree that your usage of such social networks is done at your sole risk and that we would be unable to guarantee your privacy.

We will not sell, rent or lease your personally identifiable information to others (such as your name and e-mail address) without clearly disclosing such intentions in an updated version of this Policy. Where necessary for performing services for us, our business partners may also access that information.
As a matter of standard procedure, information submitted by you will generally be stored indefinitely on our servers. That said, if we are required by law to delete information submitted by you (such as your name, e-mail address, or photographs which you’ve submitted) from our databases, such as under the Child Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), or if you were to make such a deletion request, we will do so.

Our advertising (for example, through Google’s AdSense service) may include using third-party vendors to display our ads across the Internet. These third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your web browsing history, including your visits to MWD Services websites. You can find a list of allowed third-party ads by going to https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=94149&topic=14535.
The third-party advertising companies that Google uses to serve ads when you visit our website may use information from your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
