Privacy Policy

M-1 Nederland B.V. and/or its group companies (hereinafter in this document ‘M-1’, “we” and “us”), its licensors and/or its content providers respect the privacy of the visitors to the M-1Global.com website and the local websites connected with it, and take great care to protect your information. This privacy policy tells you what information we collect from you, how we may use it and the steps we take to ensure that it is protected.

What kind of information do we collect?

There are cases where M-1 may ask you for personal information, such as your name, address, date of birth, gender, email address, etc. We do this for instance when you register for contests/promotions, respond to communication such as e-mail, and for services that require registration or subscription. If you would like to be on our mailing list, we will ask you to actively opt-in. We might also collect personal information from you about a third party, for instance if the website allows you to sent an e-postcard, in which case we need to know the name and e-mail address of the recipient. That information will only be used for the specific purpose (delivering the e-postcard) and M-1 will not further contact the third party unless the third party contacts us.
We use 'cookies' to gather information about your visits to our website and enhance your experience. You can find more information on how we use cookies in the section.
When you visit our website we collect so called ‘click stream’ data (server address, domain name etc). This information can be combined with information you have provided to us (for instance by registering), which will enable us to analyze and better customize your visits

Use of Visitors’ Information

All personal information that we obtain about you will be recorded, used and protected by us in accordance with current data protection legislation and this privacy policy. We will primarily use your personal information to provide products and services to you and, for example:
To send you information/materials via e-mail or sms-messages about products, offers and news we think could interest you. This information may relate to products, offers and news of M-1 and/or its licensees or carefully selected commercial partners. We only send you this if you have opted-in to receive M-1 e-mails and/or sms messages. In case you do not want to receive any e-mails and/or sms messages from us anymore, or if you want to modify your personal data or want your personal data to be deleted from our database, we refer you to the 'Opt-out, delete or modify personal information' section below
To analyze visits to the website and learn about the interests of our visitors in aggregate and also on personal level to better understand your interest and need, so we can improve our products and services and deliver to you the type of content, features and promotions that you are most interested in.

Childrens’ privacy

M-1 encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate in the activities offered with the multitude of sites the World Wide Web (WWW) offers.

We encourage parents and guardians of children under 13 to regularly check and monitor their children’s use of e-mail and other activities online.

Third Parties

Disclosing personal information to third parties

Other than to the companies belonging to the M-1 Group for the purposes set out above, and except as described below we do not sell, trade or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties without informing you in advance and in accordance with applicable data protection law.

Links to Third Parties
