Security and Privacy

MRN Group takes every precaution to protect the confidentiality and security of the personal information of website visitors, prospective clients and clients by using industry-standard security safeguards, such as firewalls, coupled with carefully developed security procedures. These measures are designed to protect visitor and client information from loss, misuse or unauthorized alteration.

Automatic Collection of Anonymous Data

MRN Group uses pixel tags and other methods to gather information about the emails it sends to registered website visitors and recipients of emails sent by the MRN Group website visitors to others. Pixel tags are tiny graphic files that are included in HTML-encoded email messages. When such a message is opened in an HTML-capable email program, the recipient's computer will access the MRN Group servers to retrieve the pixel tag file, allowing the MRN Group to record and store information such as an email address, date and time the recipient viewed the email message if the recipient's email program is capable of receiving HTML and other logging information. MRN Group uses this information to optimize delivery of future messages to specific recipients and to provide information to registered users with respect to emails they send through the the MRN Group system.

MRN Group maintains log files tracking IP addresses to analyse trends, help diagnose problems with our servers, and to monitor traffic/usage in order to provide better service to its clients and website visitors.

MRN Group uses cookies to deliver content specific to website visitors’ interests and to improve the convenience and efficiency of its clients’ experience when using its products and services. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive tied to statistical information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information in the MRN Group products and email messages. Visitors can always choose to not accept cookies, but in doing so they may not be able to use some of the the MRN Group products and services. Some of our business partners, such as our Web analytics provider, also use cookies on our website. These cookies are used to track visitor behaviour, and the MRN Group has no access to or control over these cookies. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by the MRN Group only and does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties.
