Managing your communication preferences
At Meraki Group, we value your privacy and respect your preferences. We may use your personal information to inform you about our latest products, services, and opportunities, but we understand that not everyone wants to receive marketing communications from us. If you wish to opt out of these communications, we provide mechanisms to do so as required by applicable law.
You may opt out of marketing communications by following the instructions provided in the relevant email or on our website. If you are unable to locate these mechanisms or have any difficulty opting out, you may contact us using the information provided below in the “Contact Us” section of this policy.
Please note that requests to opt out of communications based on data controlled by third parties must be made through the third party. Also, some jurisdictions may require stricter opt-in versus opt-out mechanisms regarding these types of communications. In such locations, we will comply with the applicable laws.
We will ensure that we respect your preferences and handle your requests promptly and efficiently.
Third-party websites and public information
Meraki Group’s website may contain links to external third-party websites, including social media sites, for your convenience. However, accessing these links is at your own risk. Even if the third party is affiliated with Meraki Group, we are not responsible for the conditions or results of use, privacy policies or practices, or the content of such external links, or the person or entity responsible for them. We advise you to review the applicable terms of use and privacy policy provisions of such third-party websites before using them.
Additionally, any information you submit on a public forum or social media site that is publicly available (such as a chat room, public posting, or blog, whether or not sponsored by Meraki Group) can be read, collected, or used by us as well as others, and could be used to personalize your experience. You are solely responsible for the information you choose to submit through these media, and although we attempt to monitor user-posted content, such user-posted material is not subject to this privacy statement. Use of any Meraki Group-related social media or marketing site may also be subject to additional policies and terms of use, which you should review before posting any such public information.
