Email Notifications
MCKL want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us. MCKL will send you email relating to your transactions on or through the Website. You may also elect to receive certain marketing email communications, in accordance with your preferences, and from which you may opt out at any time by adjusting your notification settings.

Security
MCKL takes security seriously, and the security of your personal data is important to us. MCKL follows industry-standard practices to protect the data MCKL collects and maintains, including using Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt information as it travels over the Internet.
However, the Internet is, by nature, not a secure environment and the nature of security risks is constantly evolving as are the technical and organizational industry standards relating to management of those risks. While MCKL strives to keep current our security technology and will review, refine, and upgrade its security technology as MCKL deems appropriate based on new tools that may become available in the future, the complete security of any information collected, stored or used by MCKL cannot therefore be guaranteed. In the unlikely event that an unauthorized third-party compromises MCKL’s security measures, MCKL will not be responsible for any damages directly or indirectly caused by an unauthorized third party’s ability to view, use, or disseminate such information.

MCKL may change the terms of this Privacy Policy at any time. Whenever MCKL makes a material change, MCKL will post on the Website or send you an email.
