Policy

First, how do we get information?

• When you register, we collect your email address and may ask for topics you’re interested in.
• When you complete a survey, enter a contest, we may ask you for your contact information, demographic information, professional information, and other information.
• When you visit our website, open a newsletter, or use our mobile web, we use cookies, pixel tags and other technology to understand how you interact with MTTR. This includes information like what type of a device you’re using and which links you open.
• When you use our mobile web, we may collect your location information if you have set your device settings to share location
• We also get information from third parties, such as data providers. 
• We may collect information about people you know. Our platform may include a “Refer a Friend” program that allows you to easily forward information about MTTR to friends or family. If you elect to refer a friend or family member to our platform, we will ask for that person’s email address. We also may send that friend or family member a message on our and your behalf. We may store this information for the purpose of sending this message and to manage and improve our “Refer a Friend” program.
• We may also collect information about you in ways that we explain at the point of collection. You can choose not to provide us with certain types of information, but doing so may affect your ability to use our services.

So here are some of the key things MTTR does with your data:

• We may remove your name and email address from your information and combine it with other users’ information to make information for statistics. Which articles are users visiting most? How do they get to those articles? Do users that come directly to our homepage return the next day?
• We may customize the content experience including by using cookies, pixel tags, and other technologies on our services.
• We partner with third-party platforms, including social media platforms, to market new MTTR products to you. 
• We may in the future partner with sponsors to co-host events and on these occasion when you sign up for an event, we will share that information with our sponsors.
• We may share your information with third-party platforms and analytics providers (including through the use of cookies and other technologies), service providers (but only to help us run our business, like to manage our subscribers’ email addresses). We also may share your information, including your payment information, as appropriate to process your payments or complete a transaction.
• We may also use or share your information when you specifically allow us to do so. Remember, you have choices.

The bottom line:
A lot of the data that we use is statistical information about the use of our website, newsletters and other services. We also use your personal information to market our services to you – MTTR is a US-based organization, so we apply US law to our privacy practices. This means that wherever you are in the world, this Privacy Policy will apply to the information you provide to us or we collect when you use MTTR.
