However, in connection with any Services you request (for which you have paid a fee), we reserve the right to
send you certain communications relating to those Services, such as service announcements, and administrative

Data Transfer
In order to provide the Services you request, it may be necessary for your data to be transferred to and stored
by mobile network operators, telecommunications providers or other organisations in countries outside America
(“the US”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the US who work for us or for one of our
suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of
your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this
transfer, storing and processing. Matthew621.net will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your
data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. These countries may not have similar data
protection laws to the US and we offer no assurances that your data will be protected as set out in this policy.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted
using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access
certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share
your password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do
our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site;
any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information , we will use strict procedures and
security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Confidentiality and Security
Security for all personally-identifiable information (including all cell phone numbers, texts, messages and
other data) is our priority. However, no data transmissions can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently,
we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Once we receive your information, we take reasonable measures to secure it on our systems and do so in
accordance with our Security Policy.
