Our Privacy Policy

INTRODUCTION

This Privacy Policy has been compiled to better serve those concerned about how their personally identifiable information (PII) is being used online. PII, as used in the U.S. privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our Privacy Policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your PII in accordance with our website.

By using the Modern Requirements website or by purchasing our Products and Services, you acknowledge that Modern Requirements will use your information in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany as well as any other country where Modern Requirements operates.

Please be aware that the privacy laws and standards in certain countries, including the rights of authorities to access your personal information, may differ from those that apply in the country in which you reside. We will transfer personal information only to countries to which we are permitted by law to transfer personal information and we will continue to ensure that your personal information is appropriately safeguarded.

DATA PROCESSING DISCLOSURES

When you access Modern Requirements and use the Products and Services we offer, we collect, display, store, share, transmit, and process your information in the manner described in this policy. In order to carry out these activities, Modern Requirements may rely on a number of legal bases in order to process your personal data, including where:

• necessary to perform the contractual obligations in our Terms of Service and in order to provide the Products and Services to you

In doing so, we provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of such messages at any time you choose via your account settings. Modern Requirements will not sell your personal information to enhance our marketing opportunities or profitability (except as may relate to a corporate event such as a sale or merger), and as we are committed to preventing spam, our direct marketing efforts are limited in scope and frequency.
