Message!Products - Privacy Policy

What information do you collect? How do you use it?

When you place an order with Message!Products, we need to know your name, mailing address, phone number, e-mail address, bank account information (when ordering checks), credit card number, and credit card expiration date. This allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status.

We currently contract with several online partners to help manage and optimize our Internet business and communications. We use the services of a marketing company to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and how visitors use our site. To do this, we use Action Tags and cookies provided by our marketing company on this site. The information we collect helps us learn things like what kinds of customers our site attracts, which of our products most interest our customers, and what kinds of offers our customers like to see. Although our marketing company logs the information coming from our site on our behalf, we control how that data may and may not be used. If you do not want to help us learn how to improve our site, products, offers and marketing strategy, you can "opt-out" of this web-site analysis tool by clicking here.

Will Message!Products disclose the information it collects to outside parties?

Message!Products does not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. From time to time some of the nonprofit organizations may request the mailing addresses of customers who have purchased their licensed products from us. If you do not want us to share this information, access the "My Profile" section of this site and simply uncheck the "Contact Me?" box located next to your mailing address. Message!Products may release account information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to (1) comply with law, (2) enforce or apply the terms of any of our user agreements or (3) protect the rights, property or safety of Message!Products, our users, or others.
