Many GPS-enabled mobile devices allow users to “turn off” location-enabling data being sent to TechMae or any other party. If you do not wish to provide us with your location, please disable the location-enabling functionality on your device when prompted by the System or simply update your preferences on the System to preclude collection of your location data.

Use of Cookies

The System use cookie technology to help you personalize your online experience. A “cookie” is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to alert a web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize TechMae pages, or register with TechMae sites or services, a cookie helps TechMae to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal data, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same System, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the TechMae features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the TechMae services or web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal data

TechMae secures your personal data, and the personal data of others, from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. TechMae secures such personal data you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal data is transmitted to other web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Nevertheless, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee that information that users of the System may happen to transmit or otherwise supply will be totally secure.
