Certain personal information collected from persons attending our courses is maintained securely in our offices in accordance with government requirements.  Within our offices, access to such personal information is restricted to MPS personnel who need it to perform specific functions (e.g., course certificate processing).  When courses involve the award of Continuing Education Units, we share certain personal information of course attendees with Florida Institute of Technology, where it is maintained securely in accordance with requirements for educational institutions.
