Introduction
Making Money Work Inc. (“MMW,” “we” “our” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy, and in doing so, we want to make sure that this Privacy Policy (“Policy”) is clear and concise enough for you to understand it. We hope that as you read through the Policy, you will become comfortable using the sites and learn how MMW is here to help you. Our intention was not to make this a lengthy Policy with pages of text for you to read through, but we wanted to make sure that you were given enough information to put your mind at ease about your privacy. After all, we created this Policy for the purpose of protecting your privacy and the information you provide to us.
This Policy discloses our privacy practices and how we may use the information that we gather on our digital properties, including but not limited to: Websites, mobile applications, or web services owned by MMW (the “Sites”). By using our Sites or voluntarily providing personal information to us, you consent to the terms and conditions of this Policy. This Policy applies to information collected by our Sites and contains the following:
- A list of the personally identifiable information collected from you through our Sites;
- How the information is used and with whom it may be shared;
- What choices are available to you regarding our use of your data;
- The security measures in place to protect the misuse of your information;
- How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information collected; and
- Privacy rights for state specific residents.
Respecting the privacy and the security of your personal information is important to us. We realize that providing us with personal information is an act of trust. Therefore, we have created this Policy to show you the steps we have taken to maintain that trust and secure your information.

- “Cookies” or other common tracking methods of different types to recognize your computer (please see the Cookies section below for description of what cookies are and how they are used); and
- Web beacons, match scripts, pixel tags, or similar technologies that allow us to know information such as whether a particular web page was visited, an e-mail opened, links in the email accessed, if the advertisements on our Sites or other sites were useful or beneficial to the user(s), or other information that may help us improve your experience.
We will also collect personal information that you provide/input on our Sites, such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, or debit card information.

Sharing of Information
There may be times when we need to share your personal information with third-party service providers. The reasons we may need to share this information with those providers are due to the services they provide, which include:
- Authorization of debit card and check transactions, order fulfillment, service promotions;
- Developing, hosting, or maintaining our Sites on behalf of MMW; and
- Aggregating customer information and/or improving customer service. We may then share such aggregated information with prospective marketing partners and advertisers.
These third-party service providers are only granted access to your personal information, as necessary, and they are contractually restricted in the ways they may use your information. The providers may also use cookies (as defined within this Policy), or other automatic collection technology on behalf of MMW.
Moreover, in the event that a division, or part or all of MMW, is purchased, sold or otherwise transferred, or is in the process of a potential transaction, customer information will likely be shared for evaluation purposes and included among the transferred business assets.
MMW may also be required to disclose specific information to comply with the law, a subpoena, or other litigation process. We may also disclose your information to protect the interests or safety of its visitors and customers, employees, or others, which includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
