MET does not sell your personal information or offer any financial incentives in exchange for your personal information. MET may disclose certain categories of personal information about you for the business purposes mentioned in this policy to the following categories of third parties:

  • Vendors, Contractors, and other Service Providers – We use vendors, contractors, and other service providers to assist us in providing our products and services, and it may be necessary for us to provide access to some of the categories of your personal information (for example, IT operating system and platform vendors who support our systems, SaaS vendors such as applicant tracking systems, customer relationship management systems and back office systems, assessment services, marketing services vendors, attorneys and accountants as well as premises and other security management vendors, including video security at our warehouse). These companies will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform their functions, but they may only use that information for the purpose of providing their services and are obligated to protect the personal information.

It is MET's practice to seek and provide appropriate protection for personal information in these types of transactions.
  • Courts, Regulators, Law Enforcement and Government Authorities – We may disclose your personal information where we are legally required to do so in order to respond to or comply with any applicable law, regulation, subpoenas, court orders, legal process, or government requests, including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. We also may disclose your personal information when we choose to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims or to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or violations of MET's terms of use, its policies or this Policy.

Security of Your personal information

MET is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. MET uses appropriate physical, technical, organizational and administrative security measures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized or unlawful access, use, or disclosure, and from accidental loss, destruction, or damage.
Electronic communication (e.g., email, online chat, or instant messaging, etc.) you send to us may not be secure unless we advise you in advance that security measures will be in place prior to you transmitting the information. For this reason, we ask you do not send personal information, such as financial information, to us through unsecured electronic communication. Users should also take care with how they handle and disclose their personal information. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission's Web site at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/menus/consumer/data.shtm for information about how to protect yourself against identity theft.

Data Retention

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing business need to do so (for example, to provide you with the products or services you have requested, to maintain our business relationship with you, or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).
When we have no ongoing business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. 

Children's Policy

MET does not knowingly collect the personal information of children under the age of 16 and this site is not intended for use by children under the age of 16. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 16, we will delete that data from our systems.

Our website may contain links to other sites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave our site. MET does not control those sites or their privacy or security practices, which may differ from MET's practices. MET is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of other websites outside of MET.

We encourage you to review the policies of such third parties before submitting your personal information.
