Privacy Policy
Maxidus, Inc. is committed to protecting your privacy.
Maxidus-World agree to provide a high level of protection for the personally-identifiable
information it collects and uses.
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you
as to what information may be collected from you when you visit our website
(“the Site”) or when you become a Distributor or customer,
how such information will be used by Maxidus and/or other persons or entities,
with whom such information may be shared, your choices regarding the collection,
use and distribution of such information, your ability to edit, update,
correct or delete such information and the security procedures that we
have implemented to protect your privacy.
At different occasions you may be asked for certain types of personally-identifiable
information (e.g., your first and last name, mailing address, city, state,
zip code, telephone number, email address, credit card number, bank information
in connection with automatic deposit/debits, etc.). We hope you will provide
us with this information. However, if you do not want to disclose your
personally-identifiable information to us, please do not submit it. This
does mean that in some cases we will not be able to provide you the service
you have requested.
We may also collect non-personally identifiable information
from you when you visit the Site (e.g., your IP address, browser type,
domain name, etc.). This information is collected and analysed in the
aggregate in order to improve the function and content of the Site.
We use the information that is collected about you for a variety of purposes.
You will be informed about these purposes at the time of collection. In
general, however, we foresee the following uses:
Information about you may be used to add you to our email subscription
list, provide your name to Maxidus Distributors in connection with your
expressed interest in our products or business opportunity, analyse trends
and statistics, enhance the operation of the Site, serve content and advertisements
and send informational and promotional materials about Maxidus and other
companies.
Information about customers will in addition be used to provide customer
service, confirm and fulfil your orders, ship your orders, and administer
payments and possible problems and disputes with dispatchers and other
service providers.
Information about Distributors will in addition be used to provide Distributor
services, calculate earnings and bonuses, provide training on new products
and services, and ensure compliance with the Distributor agreement and
the company’s rules and regulations.
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive
information via the website, your information is protected both online
and offline.
When collecting sensitive information, it is encrypted and transmitted
to us in a secure way. When you enter highly sensitive data, such as your
credit card information, the transaction in real time and we do NOT store
your details. You can verify that sensitive information is being protected
by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or
looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web
page. While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted
online, we also protect your information offline. Order information is
the only data stored offline and this is for backup purposes only. Order
information does not contain payment details. The computers/servers in
which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure
environment.
We have existing business relationships and may develop other relationships
in the future with business partners. In these instances, we may share
or otherwise allow access to information that is collected about you that
will enable our business partners to contact you regarding products and
services that may be of interest.
At the time we collect your information you will be
given the choice to accept or refuse the disclosure of your information
for such marketing purposes, and for marketing by Maxidus.
We may employ vendors to perform functions on our behalf. Examples of
such functions include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, email administrative
functions, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service.
These vendors are under a contractual obligation to use confidential data
received from Maxidus only for purposes that fall within the functions
for which they were hired.
We may disclose information that we collect about you
when we have reason to believe that this is necessary to identify, contact
or bring legal action against persons or entities who may be harming you,
us or others. We may also disclose information when we believe the law
requires it.
Lineage Reports, which information on Distributors in
a Distributor’s downline, including, but not limited to, name, address,
identification number, telephone number, email address, fax number, level
or rank, volume and sales statistics, are provided to Distributors in
the strictest confidence and for the sole purpose of supporting the Distributors
to further develop their Maxidus business. (The downline organization
consists of all Distributors that were personally sponsored by a particular
Distributor, and in turn, all other persons sponsored by those Distributors.)
Lineage Reports, including all data contained therein,
constitute confidential, proprietary trade secrets of Maxidus. Distributors
may not collect, distribute or gather confidential information or personal
or aggregate information about other Maxidus Distributors or their customers,
except in connection with their downline and solely for the purpose of
promoting their Maxidus business, and to manage, motivate and train their
downline.
You need to be aware that Distributors who receive the Lineage Reports
may be based in countries that do not offer the same or a similar level
of privacy protection as is available in your own country. However, Maxidus
will take reasonable measures to ensure that the information is kept in
confidence.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect
about you remains accurate, timely and secure. Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and
while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee
or warrant its complete security. We shall not be responsible for harm
that you or any person may suffer as a result of a breach of confidentiality
in respect to your use of the Site or any information you transmit to
the Site.
Personally-identifiable information will be kept in active files or systems
as long as needed to meet the purposes for which it was collected or as
required to perform the contractual relationship with the Distributor
and his/her up-line, and the commercial relationship with the customer.
Maxidus will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information is
accurate and complete.
If you identify any inaccuracy in your personal information, or if you
need to make a change or would like to verify such information, please
