Privacy Policy

Effective: 12/6/2013

When you initiate an online or offline application for one of our products or services, or register for an online/offline service, our website will request information, such as (but not limited to) your name, address, and email address. This information allows you to perform certain tasks (for example, register for classes, submit tips) and it allows us to provide the information you requested. In these cases, we collect only the information necessary to interact with you. We also gather data to track website usage, such as number of page hits, which pages were visited, and the length of user sessions in order to evaluate the usefulness of our site.

Cookies are pieces of data assigned by a web server to the browser on your PC. Cookies help websites to keep track of your preferences and to recognize return visitors. So, when you return to a website you’ve visited before, your browser gives this data back to the server. Contrary to reports about cookies, cookies do not contain viruses. We do not embed your personal information into cookies.

The Maintenance Geek uses cookies to make your online experience with The Maintenance Geek and certain linked Web sites richer and more personalized. Also, without revealing your identity, cookies help us confirm your identity and help us keep your transactions with us secure.

We also use cookies for various purposes such as maintaining continuity during an online session, gathering data about the use of our site or monitoring our online promotions; this information helps us inform you about additional products, services or promotions that may be of interest to you. These promotions may be offered to you via online ads, email, U.S. mail or telephone, subject to the privacy preferences you have on file with The Maintenance Geek.

When browsing the internet, you may see a banner ad for the Maintenance Geek products or services. These ads may appear on Yahoo, Google, or other non-Maintenance Geek websites. We use third party ad serving companies to serve our ad banners to sites on which we’ve paid to advertise. If you click on one of our ads, you will be directed to the relevant page on the Maintenance Geek website.

Sometimes, these ads may contain small graphics with “tags” in them. These tags tell us how many people respond to our ads. They do not identify you personally. Instead, these tags are used only to measure the effectiveness of our ads placed on non-Maintenance Geek sites. The companies that distribute our ads are prohibited by contract from using information other than for the agreed upon purpose — to help us market our products and services and to measure response rates.

The information you provide to us online is protected by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL is the leading security protocol for data transfer on the internet. This technology scrambles your account information as it moves between your PC’s browser and The Maintenance Geek’s computer systems. When information is scrambled, or encrypted in this way, it becomes nearly impossible for anyone other than The Maintenance Geek to read it. This secure session helps protect the safety and confidentiality of your information.

We are not responsible for the information collection practices of the non-Maintenance Geek links you click to from our web pages. We cannot guarantee how these third parties use cookies or whether or not they place on your computer cookies that may identify you personally. We urge you to review the privacy policies of each of the linked websites you visit before you provide them with any information that can identify you personally.

You may opt out, at any time, of receiving marketing information from or being contacted by us and/or our vendors and affiliated agencies by responding to e-mails as instructed, by e-mailing us at www.maintenancegeek.com, or by calling the office at (203)  510 – 8375.

Any information given or collected may be used to personally identify you and your company. None of this information is shared with partners outside The Maintenance Geek.

If it is necessary to make changes to our online privacy policies, we will update the Maintenance Geek online Privacy Policy with the changes and new effective date.
