We use the following tools for automatic data collection:

For example, our website may use first-party and third-party cookies which are implemented using third party tools, such as TikTok Pixel, Meta Pixel, Google and others. Our website may also use cookies to keep track of items that visitors add to shopping carts and this information may be used to send reminder messages via email or SMS. For more information, please review our Cookie Notice.
• Local storage technologies, like HTML5, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data, including on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.
• Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked.

How we share your Personal Information

Our customers and their trust in us are important to us. We do not sell our customers' Personal Information to others. We share customers' Personal Information only as described below:

• Third-party service providers: We may share your personal information among our affiliates or with third-party companies that provide services on our behalf or help us operate our services (such as customer support, hosting, analytics, email delivery, marketing, billing). We contractually require that our service providers only use your personal information for the purposes of providing their services to us and that they protect your personal information to a comparable degree as it is when in our possession.
• Professional advisors. We may disclose your personal information to professional advisors, such as lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers, where necessary in the course of the professional services that they render to us.
• For compliance, fraud prevention and safety. We may share your personal information for the compliance, fraud prevention and safety purposes described above.

In such a case, we will require the recipient to use and share your personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

How secure is your customer information?

Our systems are designed with security, and your privacy in mind. We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet that are beyond our control.

Modern Squared, however, takes steps that are reasonably necessary to securely provide our Services. We have put in place reasonably appropriate security measures designed to prevent your Personal Information from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. We limit access to Personal Information to those employees, agents, contractors, and the third parties who require access to perform their business function.

We do not store your payment information. We use third-party, PCI-compliant payment processors to collect payment information on our behalf in order to complete transactions. While we receive payment confirmation when a user makes a purchase, we do not have access to or process your credit card and payment information.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. If required, we will notify customers and applicable regulators of a suspected data security breach. We require those parties to whom we transfer Personal Information to provide acceptable standards of security.
