By using this site, you understand and agree to the terms of this policy. This site is owned by MJJCollectors.com and may be accessed in the United States and abroad. Information collected may be retained, and may be stored, processed, accessed, and used in jurisdictions whose privacy laws may be different and less protective than those of your home jurisdiction.

Collection of Your Personal Information: When you visit this site, certain kinds of information, such as the web site that referred you to us, your IP address, browser type and language, and access times, may be collected automatically as part of the site’s operation. We also may collect navigational information, including information about the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions taken in connection with the site. MJJCollectors.com may use your personal information to administer our web site and personalize it for you. MJJCollectors.com may also collect and use information that you provide using for the purpose of registering with our site, transactions carried out over our site, and any information that you provide for the purpose of subscribing to services offered by this web site.

Sharing of Your Personal Information:  From time to time, MJJCollectors may “rent out” the email addresses of our members to third party vendors, and/or send our members email solicitations offering third party products or services that we think may be of interest to our members.  Anyone may opt out from these emails by sending an email to remove@mjjcollectors.com, or clicking the “opt out” link provided at the bottom of each email.  We take your privacy very seriously and will update our lists so that members do not receive any unwanted email communications.

In order to properly administer our web site, certain MJJCollectors.com staff members will have access to information we collect from our members. In certain cases, MJJCollectors.com may disclose or give access to personal information to its agents or sub-contractors. For these purposes, the agent or sub-contractor in question will be obligated to use that personal information in accordance with the terms of this privacy statement. 

We also may share your personal information with service providers who perform services on our behalf. For example, we may hire other companies to handle the processing of payments, to provide data or email storage, to host our web site, to process credit cards, and so on. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to provide the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.

We also use personal information to communicate with our members. For example, we may send you email communications such as welcome letters, updates of new content or features on our site, renewal reminders, purchase confirmations, and so on. MJJCollectors.com Members always have the option of changing how we communicate with them by updating settings in their profile.

MJJCollectors.com’s member profiles are displayed publicly. Please do not post private or confidential information in your profile. Members can adjust their own privacy settings (for example, choosing not to publicly display their email address) via their profile.

MJJCollectors.com also reserves right to share personal information to a complainer if any of our site visitors or members stalks or disturbs this user in an unacceptable manner and we confirm this with internal records.

In addition to the disclosures reasonably necessary for the purposes identified elsewhere in this policy, MJJCollectors.com may disclose your personal information to the extent that it is required to do so by law, in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings, and in order to establish, exercise or defend its legal rights and the property or safety of our company, staff, or members.

Use of Cookies: MJJCollectors.com uses “cookies” to enable you to sign in to our site and to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard drive. These information packets are sent by web servers to web browsers, and stored by the web browsers. Cookies may contain personal information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. The information that cookies collect includes the date and time of your visit, your registration information, and your navigational and purchase history. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables web servers to identify and track web browsers. 

Cookies also save you time by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information, such as relogging in. MJJCollectors.com uses cookies on this web site, for the purposes of logging in to our web site, discussion forums, chat, blogs, and various third party cookies. MJJCollectors.com has no access or control over cookies used by these third party providers.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use other interactive features of our site and services that depend on cookies. 

Security of Your Personal Information: The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to help protect your personal information. MJJCollectors.com takes reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information. MJJCollectors.com will store all the personal information you provide on its secure servers. Information relating to electronic transactions entered into via this web site will be protected by encryption technology. However, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If a password is used to protect your account and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential.

Most of the information in this web site is kept in a database which contains posts, registration info, survey/poll results, private messages, logged IPs, and so on. All this information contained within the database belongs to MJJCollectors.com and it can be accessible by our administrators whenever it is required. Even the private messages which are saved in the database are accessible by site administration if needed, so members are warned and asked not to share very private or personal information in the private messages which shouldn't be read by a third person.

Forums & Other Interactive Services: Our site includes discussion forums or other interactive areas or services, including blogs, comments/review postings, message boards, or other areas or services in which you or third parties create, post or store any content, messages, comments, materials or other items on the sites (“Interactive Areas”). If you use an Interactive Area, you should be aware that these areas are open to the public and any personal information you post or provide on our web site will be published on the internet and will be available around the world. Most of the site content (including many posts in the forums, user profiles etc.) are open to page visitors including search engines. We have no control over search engine results when such information is submitted to the site by our members.

MJJCollectors.com is not responsible for personal information you submit in connection with the Interactive Areas, nor are we responsible for how others might use that information, including to send you unsolicited messages. Interactive Area postings may be retained indefinitely. If at any time you would like to remove a posting, please contact one of our Forum Moderators or email us at admin@mjjcollectors.com. Keep in mind that removal of a posting from an Interactive Area does not mean that the posting will be deleted from our systems.
