Information We Collect
  Cookies consist of information that is stored on your computer’s hard drive for recordkeeping purposes. The use of cookies is common on the internet, and many websites use them to provide useful features for their customers. Cookies used on the MBG website do not identify you personally. Instead, they identify your computer and allow us to monitor traffic on the website. This allows us to provide you with the information and tools that will be most useful to you. Because no personally identifying information is stored in cookies from our website, your privacy and security will not be compromised.

However, you may not be able to take full advantage of certain features and content on our website.    
How We Use Your Information
  Our web site uses the data we collect for three basic purposes: to operate our business and provide (including improving and personalizing) the services we offer, to send communications, including promotional communications, and to display advertising. In carrying out these purposes, we combine data we collect through the various web site services you use to give you a more seamless, consistent and personalized experience. However, to enhance privacy, we have built in technological and procedural safeguards designed to prevent certain data combinations. For example, we store data we collect from you when you are unauthenticated (not signed in) separately from any account information that directly identifies you, such as your name, email address or phone number.    
Sharing Your Information
  We share your personal data with your consent or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide any service you have requested or authorized. For example, we share your content with third parties when you tell us to do so. When you provide payment data to make a purchase, we will share payment data with banks and other entities that process payment transactions or provide other financial services, and for fraud prevention and credit risk reduction. In addition, we share personal data among our controlled affiliates and subsidiaries. We also share personal data with vendors or agents working on our behalf for the purposes described in this statement. For example, companies we’ve hired to provide customer service support or assist in protecting and securing our systems and services may need access to personal data in order to provide those functions. In such cases, these companies must abide by our data privacy and security requirements and are not allowed to use personal data they receive from us for any other purpose. We may also disclose personal data as part of a corporate transaction such as a merger or sale of assets.
