Meldrum the Mover
Meldrum The Mover acquires personal information with the involvement of our Members and agents when preparing proposals and/or performing moves. We know that shippers care about how we deal with information. Accordingly, we have implemented a Privacy Policy to protect and govern the use of that information. Meldrum The Mover Inc., and its Member companies and agents comply fully with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.
First and foremost, we do not share the information received with anyone outside the Meldrum Group of Companies, unless it is directly related to the move (for example, for appliance servicing). If we do involve someone outside Meldrum they are given only the information that is required for them to perform their part of the move. Within Meldrum, identifiable information is processed and stored in a secure and confidential database and is distributed only on a “need to know” basis for the smooth completion of your move.
For other purposes such as statistical analysis and marketing, only non-personally identifiable information is utilized unless you specifically authorize the use of such information. Meldrum and/or its Members/agents will use information as needed for programs in which you participate, such as for follow up contacts.
You may at any time ask that personally identifiable information not be used for the foregoing purposes. In addition, you may at any time inquire to determine what information we do have, and to request correction of any errors in it.

Domain name A name that identifies one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name microsoft.com represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used to identify particular Web pages. For example, in the URL www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html, the domain name is pcwebopedia.com. There are only a limited number of such domains.
