We value your privacy, and have designed the Service to give you choices about the personal information available. This Privacy Policy explains how Maestro collects, uses and shares your personal identifying information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us. In the event of a conflict between this Privacy Statement and our Terms of Use, our Terms of Use takes precedence.

What We Collect When you register to become a member of the Service, we collect your name, email address and other personal identifying information that you submit.

These options can be set in the Maestro client application under Settings, Privacy.

The Maestro software periodically contacts us to check for software updates. No personally identifiable information is sent in this communication.
