   PRIVACY POLICY

   INTRODUCTION

   MG SA respects the privacy of each User. MG SA has established this Privacy Policy to explain how Data is collected by MG SA, and how this Data is used and disclosed. MG SA takes the protection of Personal Information very seriously. MG SA may process (for example, collect, use or disclose) Personal Information only as described in this Privacy Policy.

   DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

   Words defined or assigned a meaning in the Agreement will have that meaning in this Privacy Policy, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For purposes of this Privacy Policy: "Data" means any data (including Personal Information) provided to MG SA by a User; and " Personal Information" means any Data or information about an identifiable User, including an email address.

   COLLECTION ONLINE

   Collection on registration . Once a User registers or places and order with MG SA, a User is not anonymous to MG SA. When registering, each User provides Data, which includes an ID, a password, and an email address. To combat online fraud, MG SA may also record the IP address of a User when adding Data. In addition, a User may provide necessary Personal Information to process a credit card payment, including a billing address.

   Decline to share . A User can decline to share Personal Information with MG SA by not registering with MG SA.

   Children . MG SA does not intentionally gather Personal Information about visitors who are under the age of 13.

   Collection from browser . MG SA automatically receives and records information on MG SA's server logs from the browser of a User, including an IP address, MG SA cookie information, and the page requested. Each User should be aware that other web sites visited before entering the web site might place Personal Information within a URL of a User during a visit to it, and MG SA has no control over such web sites. Accordingly, a subsequent web site that collects URL information may log some Personal Information.

   USE

   Messages and updates . MG SA may send to a User administrative messages and email updates regarding its account, the web site, or its Goods or Services. In some cases, MG SA may also send a User primarily promotional messages. A User can choose to opt-out of promotional messages.

   Cookies . Personal Information may be used to improve the web site. MG SA may use cookies to save the IDs and session validators of a User on its browsers and hard drives, and may use cookies to provide a tailored web site. IP addresses also help MG SA to diagnose problems with and to administer the web site.

   Targeted content . While a User is logged into the web site, MG SA may display targeted adverts and other relevant information based on the Data. In a completely automated process, computers process the Data and match it to adverts or related information. Natural persons do not read Data to target adverts or other information without consent. MG SA never shares Personal Information with any advertiser, unless a User specifically asks MG SA to do so. Advertisers receive a record of the total number of impressions and clicks for each advert. They do not receive any Personal Information. If a User clicks on an advert, MG SA may send a referring URL to the advertiser's site identifying that a User is visiting from the web site. MG SA does not send Personal Information to advertisers with the referring URL. Once a User is on the advertiser's site however, the advertiser may collect Personal Information.

   DISCLOSURE

   No selling . MG SA will not sell, share, or distribute Personal Information. No Personal Information may be disclosed to anyone except as provided in this Privacy Policy.

   Marketing purposes . MG SA may disclose aggregate statistics (information about the User population in general terms) about the Data to advertisers or business partners for marketing purposes.

   Third party supplier or agents . MG SA may need to provide Data to a third party supplier to supply or provide specific Goods or Services to a User (such as hosting services, support services, shipping services, or payment processing). Each third party supplier is required to only disclose or use the Data to supply or provide the specific Goods or Services requested.

   Law enforcement . MG SA may disclose Data if required: by a subpoena or other judicial or administrative order by law; to protect the safety of any individual or the general public; to prevent violation of the Agreement, or the rights of MG SA or any third party. An IP address may be disclosed to a third party: if the law or a legal process requires it; to protect the rights or property of MG SA, a User, or the general public.

   Affiliates . MG SA may share Data with an Affiliate, in which case MG SA will seek to require the Affiliates to honour this Privacy Policy.

   Change of ownership . If MG SA undergoes a change in ownership, or a merger with, acquisition by, or sale of assets to, another entity, MG SA may assign its rights to the Data it processes to a successor, purchaser, or separate entity. MG SA will notify each User of the transfer and the User may choose to modify its Personal Data at that time. If a User is concerned about its Data migrating to a new owner, the User may deactivate or delete its account.

   Employees . MG SA may need to disclose Data to its employees that require the Data to do their jobs.

   Abuse . MG SA may disclose Data to designated third parties to resolve or investigate abuse complaints. MG SA may release Data to assist in attempting to block an abusive User or complain to its Internet Service Provider of an abusive User.

   SECURITY OF DATA

   MG SA uses some of the most advanced security measures to protect the Data under its control. All Data is safe, secure, and available only to the User and those to whom User has granted permissions. In addition, the web site is hosted in a secure server environment that uses a firewall and other advanced security measures to prevent interference or access from outside intruders.

   USERNAME AND PASSWORD

   During the registration process, MG SA will provide User with a username and password. It is the responsibility of each User to maintain the confidentiality and security of their password.

   UPDATING OR REMOVING

   A User may choose to correct or update the Data they have submitted to MG SA, by going to their account. To remove any Data from the active database of MG SA, a User may deactivate or delete their account. Even if a User updates or removes their Data from MG SA's live database, Data may be retained in MG SA's backup files and archives.

   UNAUTHORISED USE

   Any unauthorised use of MG SA information systems is a violation of the Agreement and certain laws, including the section 86 of the ECT Act. Such violations may subject the person to civil and criminal penalties.

   INTERCEPT AND MONITORM

   MG SA may intercept, monitor, block, filter, read, delete, and disclose any communication over its information system. LIMITATION

   MG SA is not responsible for, gives no warranties, nor makes any representations in respect of the privacy policies or practices of linked or any third party web sites.

   INTERNATIONAL USERS

   MG SA may transmit or transfer Personal Information outside the resident jurisdiction of the User and therefore across borders. Personal Information may be stored on servers located in the United States where laws protecting Personal Information may not be as stringent as the laws in the jurisdiction of the User. Personal Information may be processed by MG SA in the country where it was collected as well as other countries (including the United States) where laws regarding processing of Personal Information may be less stringent.
