MMPI Canada Privacy Practices on the Web

Merchandise Mart Properties Inc. and Merchandise Mart Properties Canada Inc. (collectively “MMPI”) are committed to protecting your privacy. We have provided this notice to explain our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

This notice applies only to the information collected on this web site, and does not apply to any other information MMPI collects about you in other forums, such as at one of our shows, through a "snail" mailing response, or over the phone.

We work hard to keep our web site up-to-date. As our web site changes, our information collection practices may change as well. Such changes may necessitate updates to this privacy policy. We will notify you of any changes to our privacy policy at this web site area and, in the event we make material changes to our privacy policy, we will post a notice on our Web site home page for 30 days. We encourage you to return to this area periodically to check for updates.

How and What We Collect

We have several different information collection areas on our site: the job board, online show registration, newsletter sign-up forms and exhibitor interest forms. We collect the information we need to respond to your request, which typically includes such contact information as e-mail address, first and last name, street address, telephone and fax number, as well as title and corporate affiliation. On each information collection area we will indicate what information is required in order for us to process your request.

Like most Internet sites, we collect some passive information from our visitors in order to properly maintain our site and determine what areas are more popular than others. We use passive tracking mechanisms to compile statistics that show, for example, the daily number of visitors to our sites. These statistics are used internally to better design our web sites and provide services to the public.

How Your Information Is Used

When you supply Personal Information on this website, MMPI will use it for the express purpose for which it was collected; for example, to send you the newsletter in which you expressed an interest, to register you for the event you selected, or to tell you about tours at one of our facilities. It may also be used by MMPI to contact you regarding other products and services that may be of interest to you (including those we may offer jointly with other companies). We will also disclose your information if required by law to do so.

We will communicate to you at the time we request your personal information the type of third parties that might receive your information and our purpose in sharing your information with third parties. We will also offer you the opportunity to choose not to have your information used in this way before we share your information with any third parties.

In general we presume that by providing your information on this site, you are doing so because you wish to receive information from MMPI or a trusted third party in whose products or services you may be interested. However, if this is not the case, please contact us at.
