Demographic and Profile Information MPR occasionally conducts online surveys, sometimes in association with a contest or other offer. These surveys may ask you for demographic information such as ZIP code, age, education or income level. This information is used in an aggregate form to help us understand our audiences and improve our services. Demographic and profile information may be shared with selected third-party organizations, only on an aggregate basis, to describe the nature of our online audiences. When you engage in money-related transactions on an MPR site, you will be asked for a credit card number.
All financial transactions take place only on secure servers.
Electronic communication of credit card information is sent only in a secured or encrypted format. Your credit card information is saved, in an encrypted format, on internal systems that are either not connected to the Internet or are protected by advanced firewalls separate from the computers that serve MPR public sites. This information is not made available to any third party and is considered completely confidential. If you use MPR's secure online form to become a member or make a contribution to MPR, your name, complete contact information, and all contributions will be passed directly to the MPR Membership Department. Your membership information will be protected in full compliance with the MPR Member Lists Policy .
