You can access your personal information

Personal information held by MC may include your name, date of birth, current and prior addresses, land line or mobile phone number, email address, bank account or credit card details, occupation, driver’s licence number and your MC PIN, user name or password. MC also holds details of your MC services (including their status), as well as certain details about your personal interests. If you choose not to provide certain personal information (e.g. your date of birth), MC may not be able to provide you with the services you require, or the level of service on which MC prides itself. Sometimes, you may need to provide personal information about other individuals to MC (e.g. about your authorised representatives). If so, MC relies on you to inform those individuals that you are providing their personal information to MC and to advise them that MC can be contacted for further information (see ‘How to contact us’ below).

MC collects personal information in a number of ways, including:
– directly from you, when you provide information by phone or in application forms, or when you submit your personal details through MC’s web sites (e.g. during managechina.com registration if and when this is required);
– from third parties such as MC’s related companies, credit reporting agencies or your representatives;
– from publicly available sources of information;
– from the organisations identified below under ‘When MC discloses your personal information’;
– from MC’s own records of how you use your MC services; or
– when legally required to do

Your personal information may be used to:
– verify your identity;
– assist you to subscribe to MC’s services;
– provide the services you require;
– administer and manage those services, including charging, billing and collecting debts;
– inform you of ways the services provided to you could be improved;
– conduct appropriate checks for credit worthiness and for fraud;
– research and develop MC’s services;
– gain an understanding of your information and other needs in order for MC to provide you with a better service; and
– maintain and develop MC’s business system, including testing and upgrading of these systems.
Also, your personal information is collected so that MC can promote and market its services to you (including by way of direct mail, direct marketing, SMS and MMS messages). MC does this to keep you informed of its products, services and special offers. If you do not wish MC to promote and market its products, services and special offers to you, please indicate your desire to opt out by reply email to one of the service offers we send you.
In relation to marketing and promotional material sent via email, MC will send such material only if you elect to receive it (i.e. opt-in) or if it is provided in response to your request. You can indicate your opt-in preference at MC’s web sites.

In order to deliver the services you require, MC may disclose your personal information to organisations outside of MC. Your personal information is disclosed to these organisations only in relation to MC providing its services to you. These organisations carry out MC’s:

– mailing operations;
– billing and debt recovery functions;
– information technology services;
– installation, maintenance and repair services;
– marketing and telemarketing services;
– market research; and
– web site usage analysis.
MC takes reasonable steps to ensure that these organisations are bound by confidentiality and privacy obligations in relation to the protection of your personal information.

– your authorised representatives or your legal advisers (e.g. when requested by you to do so);
– credit-reporting and fraud-checking agencies;
– credit providers (for credit related purposes such as credit worthiness, credit rating, credit provision and financing);
– MC’s related companies;
– MC’s professional advisers, including its accountants, auditors and lawyers;
– other consulting and information service providers (for example, if you obtain services from other providers, MC may need to disclose your personal information for billing purposes);
– government and regulatory authorities and other organisations, as required or authorised by law; and
– organisations who manage MC’s business and corporate strategies, including those involved in a transfer/sale of all or part of its assets or business (including accounts and trade receivables) and those involved in managing MC’s corporate risk and funding functions (e.g. securitisation)
