What Personal Information About Customers Does Manhattan Mini Storage Gather?

 

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at Manhattan Mini Storage. Here are the types of information we gather.

 

• Information You Give Us: We receive and store most information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you.
  
  You provide most such information when you search, buy, access your account, or communicate with customer service. For example, you provide information when you search for a product; place an order through Manhattan Mini Storage; make a purchase; provide information in Your Account; communicate with us by phone, e-mail, or otherwise; complete a questionnaire or a contest entry form; provide employer information when opening a corporate account. As a result of those actions, you might supply us with such information as your name, address, and phone number; credit card information; people to whom purchases have been shipped, including addresses and phone numbers; and financial information.
• Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. We obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses Manhattan Mini Storage. Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; login; e-mail address; password; computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform; purchase history, the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL), including date and time; and products you viewed or searched for. During some visits, we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page.
• Information from Other Sources: Examples of information we receive from other sources include updated delivery and address information from our carriers or other third parties, which we may store in our records and use to allow communication more easily; account information, purchase or redemption information, and page-view information from some merchants with which we operate co-branded businesses (such as Manhattan Mini Storage Truck Rental); search results and links, including paid listings (such as Sponsored Links from Google).
• E-mail Communications: If you do not want to receive marketing e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your Customer Communication Preferences.

 

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.

 

Does Manhattan Mini Storage Share the Information It Receives?

 

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries we control that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.

 

• Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control: We work closely with our affiliated businesses. In some cases, such as Manhattan Mini Storage Truck Rental and Moving Ahead, these businesses operate stores at Manhattan Mini Storage or sell offerings to you via Manhattan Mini Storage. In other cases, we operate stores, provide services, or sell product lines jointly with these businesses.
• Agents: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
• Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of Manhattan Mini Storage customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please adjust your Account Preferences.
• Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Manhattan Mini Storage, Inc., or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
• Protection of Manhattan Mini Storage and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Manhattan Mini Storage, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.

 

How Secure Is Information About Me?

• We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.
• We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
• It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

 

Which Information Can I Access?

 

Manhattan Mini Storage gives you access to a broad range of information about your account and your interactions with Manhattan Mini Storage for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information.

 

What Choices Do I Have?

• As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of certain web site features.
• You can add or update certain information on pages within the website. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records.
• If you do not want to receive marketing e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your Account Preferences.
