We can disclose any personal information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with a violation of the MasterFolio Member Agreement, an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability.

Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and any account information. Remember to log out of your site's control panel and close your browser window when you are done. This ensures that others cannot access your personal information if your computer is accessible to others.

7. What are cookies and how does MasterFolio use them?
   Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on our site. The use of cookies is an industry standard, generally used by most major Web sites to improve their services. MasterFolio uses cookies because they allow us to store your User ID or temporary domain name selections without your having to constantly re-enter them.
   
   Cookies can also help us track your behavior on our site so that we can tailor our marketing message to better match your needs and interests. Finally, by tracking behavior on our site, cookies allow us to better understand how customers use our site, which in turn helps us focus our resources on features that are most popular with our members. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our site may not work properly if you do so.



8. How does MasterFolio notify members of changes to the Privacy Policy?
   This policy is periodically reviewed by MasterFolio and may be subject to change. Therefore, please check this Privacy Policy periodically and you may refer to the date posted at the top of this page to determine when this policy was last updated. Use of the MasterFolio Site constitutes consent to any policies then in effect. If we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that as provided in our Privacy Policy at the time of collection we will notify you via email. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect member information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our web site notifying members of the change. In some cases where we post the notice we will also email members who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
