Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data that is sent from a web site to your browser. It is stored on your hard drive and called to from time to time by the Web site. Our site does not make use of cookies. If you do not wish to have cookies, you may change settings in your browser to either notify you about the receipt of a cookie or decline the receipt of a cookie. One must realize though that declining the receipt of cookies may lead to a less customized, usable, or enjoyable Web experience.

Security
When found necessary, you are directed to a secure server to complete forms. This encrypts your files preventing any third parties from intercepting the information on either end of the connection. All local files at our company are also encrypted. This prevents anyone from simply accessing the information on our systems. In addition, important information is not kept accessible from the Internet. Password protection technology found on the site is always being improved to prevent unauthorized users from accessing any information. Any security flaws discovered on our system are corrected immediately. Miss Vietnam® Organization guarantees your safety and security to the extent of having our reputation at risk should a breach of security occur and to the extent of making security improvement efforts every day. However, no guarantees are made beyond this point. For our reasoning behind this, please refer to the below paragraph. You acknowledge that, despite our great efforts to uphold privacy to the best of our ability and our firm commitment to keeping every one of our users safe and anonymous, as illustrated by the policy listed here, data sent through the Internet, as can data at physical locations that are even heavily guarded, has before and can potentially be breached or read by third parties. You therefore agree to indemnify Miss Vietnam® Organization from all legal responsibility and liability for such events as, but not limited to, security breaches, stolen information, successful hacking attempts against this site, lost information, or other actions that result in the untimely and unexpected release of information.

Mailing lists
A mailing list is a list or group of people that receive e-mail relating to a specific topic. Mailing lists are normally distributed at set time points--daily, weekly, and monthly are most common. To sign up to a mailing list, the mail distributor must have your e-mail address. Miss Vietnam® Organization takes the following actions regarding mailing lists to guarantee the privacy of its users and subscribers.

E-mail addresses
E-mail addresses will be given out or used only to complete the subscription process or when required by the law. Without prior consent from the user, no e-mail addresses given to Miss Vietnam® Organization will ever be sold, exchanged, or given to any outside parties except for the reasons listed previously. Outside parties include but are not limited to partners, advertisers, other users, affiliates, and employees.

Refusal of subscription
Miss Vietnam® Organization reserves the right to refuse your subscription or to cancel your subscription at any point without prior notice. This happens infrequently and is normally the result of malicious activity.

Unsubscribing
A subscriber to any mailing list or newsletter distributed by Miss Vietnam® Organization may unsubscribe to it at any time. To unsubscribe, simply reply to any e-mail newsletter sent to your subscribed address and title the reply "unsubscribe" when you send it. After doing this, you will no longer receive that specific e-mail subscription. The time it takes to unsubscribe a user is undefined. Normally, you will be removed from the mailing list within twenty-four hours. However, complications with your mail system, complications with our mail system, complications with our mailing list, or other technical difficulties can possibly result in an extended time period before an e-mail address is removed from our list. We assume no liability or responsibility for the delayed removal of an e-mail address from a mailing list.

Children
On the Internet, often the most vulnerable users are children. Recognizing this, Miss Vietnam® Organization makes an effort to uphold privacy with children. We will not knowingly collect personal, financial, contact, or other information from children thirteen years of age or under. Before submitting any information to others on the Internet, children should ask for permission from a guardian or parent.

Improvement
Because Miss Vietnam® Organization is continuously trying to improve our policies and raise our standards, this privacy policy is subject to change at any time. Changes that have been made within the privacy policy in the last month will often be marked by the use of italics.
