1. Our Commitment to Privacy and Restrictions on Use of Our Site

Mintropy.com is Internet property of Mintropy LLC. Your privacy is important to us. In this statement we explain our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. Your name and contact information will not be shared with a third party without your consent.

Our Site may not be used by persons under eighteen (18) years of age, or persons who are not residents of the United States. Persons in these categories must not disclose any information to us. We do not knowingly solicit or collect information from persons under eighteen (18) years of age or who are not United States residents. We define “United States” as the fifty (50) states, plus U.S. territories, including the Midway Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Virgin Islands, Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau and Guam.

Requesting alerts, newsletters or invitations to educational seminars or additional information does not create any customer-provider relationship with Mintropy or any of the firm’s professionals. Such a relationship would require direct, personal contact between you and Mintropy through one or more professionals and would also require an agreement that confirms that a relationship is established and the terms of that relationship. Similarly, the invitation to contact Mintropy is not a solicitation to provide professional services and should not be construed as a statement as to the availability of any of our professionals to perform any services.

IP addresses are automatically logged by web servers, collecting information about a user’s traffic patterns. While the IP address does not identify an individual by name, it may, with the cooperation of the ISP, be used to locate and identify an individual using the Internet.

Your IP address may be used to address problems with our server, administer our Site and/or to gather broad demographic information about users of the Site. Finally, the other websites that you visit have IP addresses, and we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages, as well.
