MB Consulting Service Ltd., (MB Consulting), is committed to protecting the privacy of those who visit our website and with whom we do business. As part of our normal operations, we collect different kinds of information about our website visitors. We have, however, structured our website so that people have the option to visit without identifying themselves or revealing any personal information.
The following are things you can do while visiting our website if you prefer NOT to have information about your visit collected.

COOKIES AND SPOTLIGHT IMAGES OR WEB BEACONS
We sometimes use session cookies to limit popup windows to a single browser instance. We also use Javascripting in co-operation with cookies and “spotlight images” or “web beacons” to track website traffic and email response. A “spotlight image” or “web beacon” is an electronic image, called a 1-by-1 pixel or clear GIF, that can recognise certain types of information on your computer, such as a cookie number, time and date of a page view and so on. These methods do not collect any personal information, but simply aggregate information that allows us to research patterns of behaviour on our site to learn how to better meet our visitors’ needs. Our online store uses cookies to store order information. You may refuse cookies by turning off that feature on your web browser.
We may use or allow third parties to serve cookies on our site – e.g. Google Analytics to help us to monitor our website traffic and understand visitor behaviour.

As a global organisation offering a wide range of products and services, with business processes, management structures and technical systems that cross borders, we have implemented global policies, along with standards and procedures, for the consistent protection of personal information. As a global company, we may share information about you with our subsidiaries worldwide and transfer it to countries in the world where we do business in accordance with this Privacy Notice.
Between our controlled subsidiaries we only grant access to personal information on a need-to-know basis, necessary for the purposes for which such access is granted. In some cases, we use suppliers located in various countries to collect, use, analyse and otherwise process personal information on our behalf.
Where appropriate, we may also share your personal information with selected partners to help us provide you, or the company you work for, with products or services, or to fulfil your requests, or with your consent. When selecting our suppliers and partners, we take into account their data handling processes.
If we decide to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganise businesses in some countries, such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of such information from sellers. It is our practice to require appropriate protection for personal information in these types of transactions.
Please be aware that in certain circumstances, personal information may be subject to disclosure to government agencies pursuant to judicial proceeding, court order or legal process. We may also share your personal information to protect our rights or property, or that of our business partners, suppliers or clients, and others when we have reasonable grounds to believe that such rights or property have been or could be affected.
We may place email links on this site to allow you to contact us directly via email. The information you provide is used to respond directly to your questions or comments. Those comments may be stored to improve the quality of our site and our services.
In addition, from time to time, we will purchase or rent relevant public mailing lists from reputable agencies that have obtained your prior approval to receive relevant information based on your personal preferences. Any promotional information sent to you by us will contain instructions on how to be removed from a mailing list source. We will also freely provide information about how and from whom your personal details were given to us when requested.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Our international footprint may involve the transfer of personal information between different subsidiaries, as well as to third parties located in the countries where we do business. Some countries have implemented transfer restrictions for personal information. Where required, we implement Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the EU Commission, or similar contractual clauses in other jurisdictions. This includes transfers to suppliers or other third parties.
INFORMATION SECURITY AND ACCURACY
We intend to protect your personal information and to maintain its accuracy. We implement reasonable physical, administrative and technical safeguards to help us protect your personal information from unauthorised access, use and disclosure. We also require that our suppliers protect such information from unauthorised access, use and disclosure.
RETENTION PERIOD
We will not retain personal information for longer than is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is processed, including the security of our processing complying with legal and regulatory obligations (e.g. audit, accounting and statutory retention terms), handling disputes, and for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims in the countries where we do business.
Because the circumstances may vary depending on the context and the services, the information provided in our Online Privacy Statement or provided in a specific notice may provide more detailed information on applicable retention terms. In the event that we process your data for marketing purposes, we will delete your data if we have not received any responses to our marketing activities for a period of three years. The deletion will occur within six months of such a three-year period elapsing.
