At MBCI, the privacy of your personal information is very important. We will always strive for educational excellence while protecting your privacy and safeguarding your personal information
Our privacy policy protects your personal information, defined as any factual or subjective information, recorded or not, that can identify you as a specific individual. It does not include the name, title, business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization.

Personal information may be collected and used for other purposes than those listed above, subject to your prior consent for such use.
In general, MBCI uses personal information internally as described above, and does not disclose personal information to third parties.
