MGAC is dedicated to keeping personal data safe and secure. Our Website Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect and how it is used. We also explain what rights individuals have in relation to their data.

Data Controller
It is important to understand who is responsible for keeping personal data safe. MGAC is the “controller” of all personal data collected and used, and we are responsible for deciding how and why data is used, and for ensuring that personal data is handled legally and safely.

Data Collection
We collect data from several different sources. Some data is collected directly from individuals; for example, from forms, inquiries, surveys, or applications someone completes on or about the Website; communications sent through or regarding the Website or information thereon; through surveys we provide; or when opted-in to receive MGAC email marketing communications.
