INDUSTRY-STANDARD SECURITY

We have implemented appropriate safeguards to prevent personal data from being lost, misused, accessed, altered, or disclosed by unauthorized parties.  Employees and third parties are provided only with personal data on a need-to-know basis and only the minimum amount they require to complete their specific job.  All employees are also subject to confidentiality agreements and undergo annual training on the proper handling of personal data.  Further, procedures have been developed and tested to handle a potential data breach.  These procedures are designed to ensure that affected individuals and regulators are notified of the breach and damages can be minimized.

While we use industry-standard security measures to protect the personal data under our control, there is no guarantee that it cannot be compromised.  If you have reason to believe that your personal data may no longer be secure, please notify us immediately at privacy@mccorp.com.

CROSS-BORDER TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA

Please note that your personal data is stored on our servers (currently located in the United States), which may be outside of your country of residence.  We have implemented security measures and controls to ensure that your data remains appropriately protected in these jurisdictions. 

If we further transfer this personal data, it will be transferred to a sub-processor that: (i) is located in a third country or territory recognized by the EU to have an adequate level of protection; (ii) we have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses with; or (iii) has other legally recognized appropriate safeguards in place, such as Binding Corporate Rules.  We put in place appropriate terms to protect your personal data in our agreements with our service providers.

EU-US DATA PRIVACY FRAMEWORK

MCi complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF) and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. MCi has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (EU-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from the European Union and the United Kingdom in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles , the Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) Program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF , MCi commits to cooperate and comply respectively with the advice of the panel established by the EU data protection authorities (DPAs) and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) with regard to unresolved complaints concerning our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF.

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF , MCi commits to resolve DPF Principles-related complaints about our collection and use of your personal information. EU and UK individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, should first contact MCi at: privacy@mccorp.com

RETENTION

We will only retain personal data for the duration necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.  Personal data may be retained for longer periods if it is required to do so to comply with regulatory or reporting requirements or financial obligations.  We may also retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you, or your employer or customer who may have registered for an MCi product or service. At the end of our retention period, we will either securely delete or anonymize the personal data

You may otherwise request that your personal data be deleted sooner in accordance with this Privacy Policy.  In some cases, where there is a remaining relevant or legal reason why we are required to keep this personal data, we may opt to restrict the amount of processing being conducted rather than erase it.

YOUR RIGHTS (GENERALLY)

In certain locations, you may have rights under data protection law, such as to request access to or deletion of your personal data or restrict MCi from processing it for certain purposes.  If you or a designated third-party agent would like to exercise these rights, please submit the request to privacy@mccorp.com, and we will respond as soon as reasonably practicable consistent with applicable law.  We will verify your identity, and the identity of any third-party agent acting on your behalf, before we comply with the request, and ask for your cooperation with our identity verification process.   

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR DATA SUBJECTS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU) AND THE UK

If you are a ‘data subject’ in the EU, the following applies to any personal data (as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR) that we collect as a data controller:

  • The right to confirm whether or not your personal data is being processed, and to be provided with relevant details of what those processing operations are and what personal data of yours is being processed.

  • The right to complete or correct any incomplete or inaccurate personal data.

  • The right to request your personal data be deleted. Please note that this is not an absolute right; if you were to request that we erase your personal data, we would erase as much of that data as we could but may have to retain some information if necessary.

  • The right to object to the way we use, or have used, your personal data.

  • The right to complain about our use of your personal data.

Where MCi acts as a data processor for your personal data on behalf of a third-party data controller (typically your employer or customer), MCi may refer you to such third-party to exercise your rights as a data subject. 

Exercising your rights.  If you or a designated third-party agent would like to exercise these rights, please submit the request to privacy@mccorp.com or contact us by mail or phone using the contact information provided at the bottom of this Privacy Policy.  MCi will respond to all legitimate requests within one month and will contact you should we require additional information in order to honor your request.  We will verify your identity, and the identity of any third-party agent acting on your behalf, before we comply with the request, and ask for your cooperation with our identity verification process.  If your request or concern is not satisfactorily resolved by us, you can approach your local data protection authority.  You can find your local data protection authority in the EU here and in the UK here.

Legal basis for processing your personal data.  MCi uses personal data to fulfill any contractual obligations that exist between us and yourself, your employer, or your customer.  We require relevant personal data or we will not be able to deliver the Services.  In such cases, the lawful basis for us processing the personal data is that it is necessary for the performance of a contract.

We are required by law to process personal data for purposes relating to our legal obligations, including: to provide for our financial commitments, or to relevant financial authorities; to comply with regulatory requirements and any self-regulatory schemes; to carry out business operations and due diligence; to cooperate with relevant authorities for reporting criminal activity or to detect and prevent fraud; to investigate any claims, including claims of unfair dismissal, claims of any kind of harassment or of discrimination, or any other claim where MCi may have to defend itself.

We may also process personal data as a data processor for our own legitimate interests, granted that those interests do not override any of our user’s own interests, rights, and freedoms.  This legitimate interest includes processing for marketing, research, and business development purposes.

Personal data may be used without knowledge or consent in situations where legally required or permitted, or when personal data has been anonymized or pseudonymized so it is no longer associated with the user.  This means we have removed personally identifying information so the data we’re left with cannot be tied back to you as an individual.

We may also process personal data to inform you of new or improved services provided by MCi.  You may withdraw your consent for us to process your personal data for these purposes at any time.  After a withdrawal of consent is received, we may contact you to verify the request.  Withdrawing your consent for us to process your personal data will not affect the lawfulness of any processing which occurred prior to such withdrawal.

YOUR RIGHTS AS A “CONSUMER” UNDER THE CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT

If you are a California resident and a Consumer (as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act, CCPA), California law provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.  For purposes of California law, personal information means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a consumer or household.

  • To request MCi to delete any personal information about you that MCi has collected from you, under certain circumstances.

  • You can ask us if the information was disclosed to third parties, the categories of personal information was disclosed to third parties, and the categories of third parties to whom such information was disclosed.

  • You have the right to not be discriminated against because of exercising any of your rights under the CCPA.

If you or a designated third-party agent would like to exercise these rights, please submit the request to privacy@mccorp.com, and we will respond as soon as reasonably practicable consistent with applicable law.  We will verify your identity, and the identity of any third-party agent acting on your behalf, before we comply with the request, and ask for your cooperation with our identity verification process.  Please note that we are only required to respond to two such requests per individual each year.

Over the past 12 months, we may have collected the following categories of personal information from California residents through our Services:

RECOURSE AND ENFORCEMENT

The Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction over MCi’s compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF. In compliance with the DPF Principles, MCi commits to resolve DPF Principles-related complaints about our collection or use of your Personal Data. Data Subjects with inquiries or complaints regarding our handling of Personal Data received in reliance on the DPF should first contact MCi by e-mailing privacy@mccorp.com.

MCi agrees to periodically review and verify its compliance with the DPF Principles, and to remedy any issues arising out of failure to comply with the DPF Principles.
