You provide such information when you make a purchase, fill out a survey or form, provide ratings or testimonials feedback, give or redeem a promotional certificate, etc. Where possible, we indicate which fields are required and which fields are optional.

Does MTE Share The Information It Receives?
The following describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable information may be disclosed:
Fulfillment
During the purchase process, we will share your information with certain intermediaries (e.g. UPS, FedEx, Credit Card Processors, Product Manufacturers, etc.) strictly to process and ship your order.
Agents
We employ other third parties to perform services or functions on our behalf in order to improve our site, merchandising, marketing and promotional efforts, communications or other services. Those third parties include authorized contractors, manufacturers, consultants and other companies working with us (collectively, "agents"). They only have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, and may not share any personal information with others or use it for any other purpose than improving MTE’s services and offerings.
Advertisers
We work with third party advertising companies, such as Google, Yahoo, Miva, etc. to serve and track our ads. These third parties may serve other cookies.
Third Party Sites
You may visit other web sites, through links on our site, which may collect, use and share your personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies. The information practices of those websites linking from or to our site are not covered by this Policy, and we encourage you to be very cautious before you disclose your personal information to others.
Legal Requests
MTE will cooperate with law enforcement inquiries. MTE reserves the right to disclose any activities or information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, determine necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us or you to legal liability.
Accessing and Updating Your Information
You always have the opportunity to review and change the information you provide to us by logging into the site and entering in the new information yourself. You can edit your name, contact information and preferences by logging into the My Account section of the site.
As a customer or subscriber, you will occasionally receive e-mail communications about MTE products or special offers we think you'll like and requests for feedback. If you want to stop receiving our emails or to specify the communications you prefer to receive, you may unsubscribe or edit your profile at any time. You can do this by sending us an email at cs@mteworld.com.
You may ask to have your account information removed from our active databases; however, because we keep track of past purchases, you cannot delete information associated with past purchases. Such information will be deactivated as soon as reasonably possible based on your account activity. Also, as a security measure we "back up" the data stored on our systems, and such prior information cannot be completely removed from our databases. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your personally identifiable information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests.
Security
We guarantee that every transaction you make at MTE will be safe. MTE's servers use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an encryption technology that works with Netscape, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and AOL's browser, so that only MTE can read a buyer's personal information. We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. However, we will transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
A Special Note about Children's Privacy
You must be at least 18 years old to have our permission to use this site. We do not knowingly collect, use or disclose Personally Identifiable Information about visitors under 18 years of age. If you are a minor, you can use this service only in conjunction with your parents or guardians.
