Metia Privacy Policy

Following below is the formal privacy statement, which gets quite long and unwieldy when the law becomes involved. We like to think we are reasonable people and good internet citizens, so if you have any concerns or issues around privacy, please get in touch and let's discuss them.

Our commitment to privacy

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online privacy practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

The information we collect

This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the Metia web site. Metia Group is the sole owner of the information collected on this web site.

Our site collects non-personally identifiable information about you, such as the server your computer is logged onto and your browser type.

When you interact with Metia.com we sometimes receive personal information about you. For example if you leave a comment about one of our blog articles you are required to tell us your name, and might leave an associated URL e.g. your blog, Twitter or LinkedIn page.

This information will not be sold, shared with, or rented to other parties outside of Metia Group, and is purged or automatically deleted when you close your Internet browser.

Use and storage of your personal information

When you supply any personal information to Metia we have legal obligations towards you in the way we deal with that data. We must collect the information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone else. Metia will only disclose PII if required to do so by law. With that exception, under no circumstances will we share single user or aggregated demographic data without the explicit consent of our users.

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Notifications of changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to the Metia web site (www.metia.com), so users of the site are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we will disclose it. If at any point we decide to use PII in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify registered users by e-mail. Registered users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.

Your Concerns

If you have any concerns or queries about material which appears on the Metia web site please contact info@metia.com.

Thank you for visiting the Metia web site.
