Matt's Models Privacy Policy This Privacy Policy governs your use and access to any of our sites, collectively known as "The Sites", which includes https://mattsmodels.com.

Protecting Your Files on Your Computer There are frequent instances where you may wish to maintain your privacy by keeping your Internet traces or sensitive files on your computer secure from others. We suggest that you consider privacy software such as PrivacyView. PrivacyView protects all your sensitive and private files. This software encrypts Internet surfing traces and sensitive data. PrivacyView's system of secure password protection works much better than manually deleting Internet history, cookies, favorites and temp files. In addition to privatizing the surfing experience, PrivacyView gives you the ability to conceal downloaded pictures and movies on your computer by encrypting and hiding the files. Once the downloaded content is stored, the images and movies can be searched and retrieved for viewing within PrivacyView. The software is inexpensive, comes with support and instantly gives you piece of mind. You can learn more about privacy software, or try PrivacyView for free, at www.privacyview.com.
