This Privacy & Cookie Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes the personally identifiable and other information that Buckley collects through its proprietary licensing software, Mogy, at mogy.approvedlicensing.com and equivalent domains (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy applies solely to Buckley’s collection of information through the Site and our use of that information and does not apply to our offline practices.
Information may be shared by and between Buckley in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Buckley is the data controller for the processing of such information for purposes of the UK Data Protection Act 2018.
Together with the Mogy Terms of Use Agreement, this Privacy Policy provides you with important information regarding your rights and obligations, and explains how, why and when we collect and process your personal identifiable information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using or registering to use this Site. By visiting the Site, you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
The type of personal information the Site collects depends on the business relationship Buckley has with you and the nature of your business activity. In general, the type of personal information falls into two categories – personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information (as further detailed below).
In either case, the Site may process or receive information from third-party sources to supplement Buckley records, improve quality of services, or prevent or detect fraud. For example, the Site may process information from State or Federal Regulatory Agencies (“Agency” or “Agencies”) in conjunction with license applications through the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (“NMLS”).

We may add certain of the information you voluntarily provide to us to our databases, subscriber lists, and contact lists.
Please see “Contact Us; Opt-Out” below if you decide that you no longer wish to receive our materials.
