MMPI privacy policy
Merchandise Mart Properties, Inc. Privacy Statement

The Merchandise Mart Properties Inc. is committed to protecting your privacy. We have provided this notice to explain our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

This notice applies only to the information collected on this web site, and does not apply to any other information MMPI collects about you in other forums, such as at one of our shows, through a "snail" mailing response, or over the phone.

We work hard to keep our web site up-to-date. As our web site changes, our information collection practices may change as well. Such changes may necessitate updates to this privacy policy. We will notify you of any changes to our privacy policy at this web site area. We encourage you to return to this area periodically to check for updates. This policy has been effective since of April 2000.
				
How and What We Collect

We have several different information collection areas on our site, from job availability and tour inquiry forms to online show registration and newsletter sign-up forms. We collect the information we need to respond to your request, which typically includes such contact information as e-mail address, first and last name, street address, telephone and fax number, as well as title and corporate affiliation. We do not currently have online payment for our shows, and do not collect financial information on our site. On each information collection area we will indicate what information is required in order for us to process your request.

Like most Internet sites, we collect some passive information from our visitors in order to properly maintain our site and determine what areas are more popular than others. We use passive tracking mechanisms to compile statistics that show, for example, the daily number of visitors to our sites. These statistics are used internally to better design our web sites and provide services to the public.
				
How Your Information Is Used

We use the information you provide to respond to your particular request, for example, to send you the newsletter in which you expressed an interest; to register you for the event you selected; or to tell you about tours at one of our facilities. We will also use your contact information to tell you about other products, services, or events in which you believe you may be interested. From time to time we may share your information with trusted third parties in whose products or services we believe you may be interested. We will also disclose your information if required by law to do so.
				
The Choices You have About Our Use of Your Information and How to Contact Us at MMPI

If you find that information you have provided to us in connection with a particular show or event is incorrect, you can edit your MMPI registration information at any time by re-registering for that show or event. If the event has passed, you may contact us at webmaster@mmart.com to update your information. If you submitted information to us in a different on-line forum, please contact us at webmaster@mmart.com to update your information.

In general we presume that by providing your information on this site, you are doing so because you wish to receive information from MMPi or a trusted third party in whose products or services you may be interested. However, if this is not the case, and you do not wish to receive information from us or third parties we select, please contact us at webmaster@mmart.com. In some cases, when registering for an event, we may ask you whether you would like further information sent to you. If you choose "Yes," you are giving us permission to send you notifications of special MMPI events and updates and to release your personal information to sponsors, partners, and exhibitors for their use. If you do not want to receive any further information from MMPI or to have your personal information released to third parties, please choose "No."

We provide you with the ability to contact us about standard questions you may have at the "Contact Us" area of our site. If you have any questions that do not fall into one of those categories, or have other questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at:

How We Maintain the Security of Your Information
We use standard industry practices, including storage of data in password protected files, to maintain the security and integrity of your information. We collect show registration information over a secure Internet connection. In addition, once received, only employees who need to view your information have access to these files. We do not collect financial or other "sensitive" information on our web site. Please remember that, ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal registration information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.

If you have any questions, please contact the Information Services Department at 312/527-7600 or 1/800-677-6278 or write Merchandise Mart Properties, Inc., 222 Merchandise Mart Plaza, Suite 470, Chicago, IL 60654.
