Privacy policy
Why we need to collect user data
Mikv.by properties* are just like other websites – we need to learn more about our users to make our services better. We collect data about how our site is used, which helps us discover bits of content that are the most relevant to our audience and improve the interface. Details about what we do with site user data are outlined in the corresponding section below.
All data analysis procedures are carried out in-house.
What kind of data we collect
We collect data via cookies, which are small text files that are used to uniquely identify your browser. Cookies are placed onto your computer by our system and can later be accessed by our servers to get the statistics we need for site optimization. We also use our own server data logs. Cookies and data logs can indicate user status (new or returning), the version of the browser used, device make and model, session duration, number of pages viewed, landing pages, and other non-personally identifiable information. Cookies and data logs are collected in aggregate and not tied to an individual.
To measure the effectiveness of particular pieces of content, we may use web beacons, also known as clear gifs or web bugs. They are small, pixel-sized graphic objects with unique IDs which are not stored on your hard drive. Instead, a web beacon is inserted into a bit of content to track how users engage with it. The information gathered by web beacons is not personally identifiable.
What we do with user data
We use non-personally identifiable information (PII) to test and optimize our website design and technical performance, improve the usefulness and overall usability of our website, find and fix bugs, and to provide you with tailored content. We also need these depersonalized statistics to analyze site usage trends, collect aggregate demographic information about our user base, develop new products and offers, as well as gauge the effectiveness of our marketing communications.
How we treat PII data you knowingly submit
No personally identifiable information can be passed to our servers without your explicit consent. The personal data you knowingly provide is securely stored in our CRM systems in our data centers distributed across Europe. Internal access to the CRM data is restricted to employees directly concerned with sales, marketing, and support operations. Staff members that have access to customer data are legally obligated to treat it as highly confidential. We never sell or pass on this data to third parties except for the cases described in Section 3 of Yandex's general Privacy Policy.
Your choices about non-PII and PII data that you provide
When arriving at our site for the first time, you are shown a notification that outlines our use of cookies. By continuing to navigate our site, you are giving your consent to the placement of cookies on your computer. If you do not want our system to put cookies on your hard drive, you should either stop using our site, set your browser to “block all cookies” mode, or only stop accepting cookies from our site by adding its URL to the exceptions list in the cookies settings of your browser. However, please keep in mind that blocking cookies can hinder the normal usage of our sites as well as others, as cookies are required for some website features to function.
