We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. That is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy lets you know how and for what purposes your personal information is being collected, processed and used. We pledge that we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information will only be used in ways that are in compliance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is only in effect for any web pages, e-mail lists, collective non‑user-specific information and collective personal information collected and/or owned on M & Q Plastic Products Co.’s and its affiliates’ (collectively, “M & Q”, “our” or “we”) websites, including but not limited to the www.pansaver website, as well as any online features, services and/or programs offered by M & Q (collectively, the “Website”).
We will make an effort to update this web page with any changes to this Privacy Policy and you are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy frequently (the date of the most recent revision to this Privacy Policy appears at the end of this Privacy Policy).
Use of Information
Information collected by M & Q is used for three main purposes. First, we collect information to improve the Website by determining which of our areas, features and forums are most popular. Second, we collect information to personalize the experience of the users of the Website. For example, users of some of the features of the Website are required to create a User Account, UserID and password in order to access those features. Third, we collect information to enable our users to participate in features, services, programs and/or other activities from time to time. Finally, we collect information (such as credit card information) to enable our users to purchase our products directly through the Website.
You should understand that any information that you post to the Website, for any purpose and no matter of what nature or what medium or format, is considered to be a public disclosure and is not subject to this Privacy Policy. Your UserID and the information that you deliver or post to the Website are included in your posts and submissions, but only to the extent that you affirmatively transmit such information. You should be aware that whenever you voluntarily post information to any public forum, whether on the Website or otherwise, the information that you post can be accessed by the public and can in turn be used by those people to send you unsolicited communications of any form.
M & Q does not use its users email address or other personally identifiable information for commercial or marketing purposes without your consent or except as part of a program or feature (such as described in the “Value Added Benefits” paragraph below) for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. That being said, M & Q may use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes, for example to contact you.
In order to participate in many features, services and/or programs of the Website, we may require that you provide us with certain specific information, such as your full name, company information, mailing address, telephone number, e‑mail address, gender, personal interests and/or other information specific to you. If you want to purchase products directly through the Website, we will also require that you provide us with credit card information, your customer number (if you have one) and related information. You can choose whether or not to provide us with this information, but if you choose not to provide any required information, your experience on the Website may be diminished and some features may not be available or may not work as intended. If you choose not to provide the required credit card information, you will not be able to purchase products through the Website.
M & Q or a partner may sponsor promotions, sweepstakes or contests on the Website. Users may be asked to provide personal information including name, email address or home address or to answer questions in order to participate, but you will be under no obligation to participate. M & Q may also transfer personal information to certain advertising or marketing partners from whom you have requested to receive information.
Credit Card Information
The online store at the Website is designed to protect the privacy of your credit card information, name, address, e-mail and any other information you provide us. M & Q is committed to data security with respect to information collected on our site. We offer the industry standard security measures available by utilizing a Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) connection. If at any time you would like to make a purchase, but do not want to provide your credit card information online, you may contact a sales representative over the telephone. Simply call (877) 726-7287. It is our practice to contact customers if a problem should arise with your purchase or if we need to send you a normal business communication regarding your purchase.

When Information Is Disclosed By M & Q
In addition to the other times or occasions on which we might disclose information about users of the Website, we might also disclose information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with a legal process and applicable laws; (b) enforce this Privacy Policy; (c) respond to claims that any materials, documents, images, graphics, logos, designs, audio, video and any other information provided from or on the Website violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property or personal safety of M & Q, its users or the public.
We use reasonable precautions to keep the information that is disclosed to us secure. We may provide personally identifiable information and non-personally-identifiable information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or other businesses or persons for the purpose of processing such information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information in compliance with our Privacy Policy, and we use reasonable efforts to limit their use of such information and to use other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
M & Q does not use its users email address or other personally identifiable information for commercial or marketing purposes without your consent or except as part of a program or feature (such as described in the “Value Added Benefits” paragraph below) for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out.
We do share non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous user usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with third parties to demonstrate the usage patterns for M & Q’s advertisements, content, functionality promotions and/or services on the Website.
We also reserve the right to disclose personally identifiable information and/or non-personally identifiable information in order to take precautions against liability, investigate and defend against any third-party claims or allegations, assist government enforcement agencies, protect the security or integrity of the Website, and protect the rights, property, or personal safety of M & Q, our users or others.
We reserve the right to transfer your personally identifiable information, as well as any other information, in connection with the sale or other disposition of all or part of the M & Q business and/or assets. We cannot make any representations regarding the use or transfer of your personally identifiable information or other information that we may have in the event of our bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or an assignment for the benefit of creditors. Furthermore, we cannot and will not be responsible for any breach of security by any third parties or for any actions of any third parties (including other users of the Website) that receive any of the information that is disclosed to us.
Information From Children
The Website is not intended or designed to attract children under the age of thirteen (13). We do not collect personally identifiable data from any person that we know to be under the age of thirteen (13). You affirm that you are either more than 18 years of age, or an emancipated minor, or possess legal parental or guardian consent, and are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, and warranties set forth in this Privacy Policy, and to abide by and comply with this Privacy Policy. In any case, you affirm that you are over the age of 13, as THE WEBSITE IS NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13 THAT ARE UNACCOMPANIED BY HIS OR HER PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN.
Parents should be aware that M & Q’s Privacy Policy will govern our use of personal data, but also that information that is voluntarily given by children – or others – in chat sessions, e-mail exchanges, bulletin boards or the like may be used by other parties to generate unsolicited communications. M & Q encourages all parents to instruct their children in the safe and responsible use of their personal data while using the Internet.
International Users
Value Added Benefits
We may request that you provide us with the personal information identified in the “Use of Information” Paragraph of this Privacy Policy for the purposes identified in that Paragraph. Whenever we request personal information from a user of the Website, we will make an effort to indicate the purpose of the inquiry at the time the information is requested. In order to provide users of the Website with many of the added values and special offers of reputable organizations and retailers, we may provide some or all of your personal information to reputable third‑party companies. Additionally, we may from time to time send e-mail to you announcing new features, services and/or programs offered through the Website. You may also receive mailings, telephone calls and/or facsimiles from other reputable, third-party companies. Users have the option of not participating in these value added benefits by following the procedure for withholding your personal information that is set forth at the end of this Privacy Policy.
When you create a User Account, UserID and password on the Website, and when you participate in any of the features, services and/or programs offered through the Website, we may request your full name, company information, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, gender, personal interests and/or other relevant information specific to you. If you choose to purchase products directly through the Website, you will also be required to provide us with credit card information, your customer number (if you have one) and related information. This information will allow us to create your User Account and provide you with information that we believe will be important and relevant to you. This information may also be used by us to notify you of features, services and/or programs that may be of interest to you.
The information you provide will be kept confidential and used to support your customer relationship with M & Q. Whenever we collect personal information about you, we will make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.
Member Account, Password And Security
For certain features available through the Website, we may require the use of encryption technologies provided for your protection and/or your use of a UserID and password after setting up a User Account. We use reasonable precautions to protect the privacy of your UserID, password, User Account information and credit card information by utilizing an SSL connection. Accordingly, your UserID, password, User Account information and credit card information are encrypted using an SSL connection and are not expected to be read in an intelligible form as they travel to the Website. You, however, are ultimately responsible for protecting your UserID, password, User Account information and credit card information from disclosure to third parties, and you are not permitted to circumvent the use of required encryption technologies. You agree to: (a) immediately notify M & Q of any unauthorized use of your UserID, password and/or User Account, and/or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your User Account at the end of each session. While we may provide certain encryption technologies and use other reasonable precautions to protect your confidential information and provide suitable security, we do not and cannot guarantee or warrant that information transmitted through the Internet is secure, or that such transmissions are free from delay, interruption, interception or error.
Privacy Outside the Website
The Website contains various links to other websites, including links to various third party service providers. M & Q is not and cannot be responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any of those other websites. Other than under agreements with certain reputable organizations and companies, and except for third party service providers whose services you voluntarily elect to utilize, we do not share any of the personal information that you provide to us with any of the websites to which the Website links, although we may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable data with those other websites. Please check with those websites in order to determine their privacy policies and your rights under them.
Choices With Your Personal Information
Whether you submit personally identifiable information to M & Q is entirely up to you. You may decide not to submit personally identifiable information through the Website, in which case M & Q may not be able to provide certain services to you. You may update or correct information that you have submitted to M & Q by contacting us as indicated at the end of this Privacy Policy. Please note that any information that you post, upload or transmit to M & Q and/or the Website cannot be removed and will remain subject to this Privacy Policy.
Your Consent To This Privacy Policy
By using the Website, you consent to the collection and use of information by us as specified above or as we otherwise see fit unless you inform us otherwise by means of the procedure identified below. If we decide to change this Privacy Policy, we will make an effort to post those changes on this web page so that you will always be able to understand what information we collect, how we use that information and under what circumstances we may disclose that information to others. Your use of the Website following any amendment of this Privacy Policy will signify your assent to and acceptance of its revised terms. We may use comments, information or feedback that you may submit in any manner that we may choose without notice or compensation to you.
