At Modular R&D, we recognize that your privacy is important, and we strive to manage the information we collect in the most responsible and professional manner possible. This privacy policy sets forth our practices regarding collection, use and disclosure of information. It applies to all of the products, services and websites offered by Modular R&D LLC or its subsidiaries or affiliated companies. In addition, where more detailed information is needed to explain our privacy practices, we may post supplementary privacy notices associated to individual services or products.
1. COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION
In order to provide meaningful services, we may collect the following types of information:
1.1. Non-personal information: As is true of most websites, when you access Modular sites, our server automatically records information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, and the date and time of your request. In addition, Modular's website, online services, and email messages may sometimes use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags, trackable links, click-through URLs and web beacons. The information collected by these technologies will be used in aggregate and anonymously to help us understand which parts of our website, products, and services are of most interest, and to facilitate more effective customer communication. Aggregated data is considered non-personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose.
1.2. Personal Information: When you place an order with Modular, we will ask you to provide personal information, such as name, email, and payment information. Such registration information will be used to create your login, to process orders and to communicate with you about order fulfillment, instructions of uses, changes to purchased products, etc. We may sometimes use this information to keep you posted on Modular's new product and services, upcoming events, information on our market research surveys, etc. If you don't want to be on our mailing list, you can opt out via opt-out links in any of the communications.
2. INFORMATION SHARING
2.1. Different Modular sites and services may share your information with each other and use it in a way consistent with this Privacy Policy.
2.2. Modular will not provide your personal information to others for any commercial or marketing purpose. Modular may from time to time send you related products and services offered by our partners. If you do not consent to such sharing, you may opt-out via opt-out links in any of the communications.
2.3. Modular may access, use, preserve or disclose personal information with a good faith belief that is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Modular, its users or the public as required or permitted by law.
2.4. In the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.
3. INFORMATION SECURITY
3.1. Modular's online services use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages. Modular retains personal information we collect for as long as the information is relevant to our business purpose or until you request that we remove the data.
3.2. We take appropriate security measures — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
3.3. We restrict access to personal information to Modular employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
3.4. You acknowledge and agree that Internet transmissions are never completely private or secure. You understand that any message or information you send to Modular may be read or intercepted by others, even if there is a special notice that a particular transmission (for example, credit card information) is encrypted.
4. THIRD-PARTY SITES AND SERVICES
Modular's websites, products, and services may contain links to third-party websites, products, and services. Our products and services may also use or offer products or services from third parties. Information collected by third parties, which may include such things as location data or contact details, is governed by their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy practices of those third parties.
5. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
Modular may update its Privacy Policy from time to time. When we change the policy in a material way, a notice will be posted on our website along with the updated privacy policy.
