  1. How We May Share or Disclose Your Personal Information

 

We only use your Personal Information to provide the services you request. If we cooperated with external service providers in the provision of services through Modelo Platform, they shall also only access the data for the purpose of providing certain types of services. We use technical and organizational measures to ensure compliance with the data protection regulations and also ask for compliance on the part of our external service providers in this respect.

We will not transfer the data to other third parties without your explicit consent, in particular not for marketing purposes. Your Personal Information shall only be transferred if you have given your consent to do so, or if we are entitled or obliged to do so due to legal regulations and/or official or judicial orders. This may especially involve the provision of information for law enforcement purposes, for averting danger, or for enforcing intellectual property rights.

We may send or otherwise share Personal Information to/with our local or foreign subsidiaries or affiliates for the purpose of storing such information on our behalf, or carrying out other processing on our behalf. These entities may be located in other countries where Modelo Platform has no presence, and their servers may be located anywhere in the world. We require these entities to agree to process such Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

 

 

  1. How We May Transfer Your Personal Information Across the Border

We will not transfer your Personal Information to our affiliates and service providers in third countries without your consent.

Insofar as we transfer your Personal Information ourselves or through service providers to countries outside the EEA, we shall comply with the special provisions of Article 44 of the GDPR in this respect and shall similarly ask for our service providers to comply with these regulations. We shall therefore only transfer your data to countries outside the EEA subject to the level of protection assured by the GDPR. This level of protection is assured especially through the use of standard privacy clauses in accordance with Article 46 (2) c) of the GDPR.

 

 

  1. Third Party Links

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our website. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.

 

 

  1. Children’s Privacy Policy

The services are not structured to attract minors. Accordingly, we do not intend to collect Personal Information from anyone we know to be minors. If we learn that we have collected Personal Information from minors, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete that data as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any such data, please contact us at hi@modelo.io.

 

  1. Fair Information Practices

 

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

 

For users who live in the United States, in order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:

(1)     We will notify the users via email within 7 business days;

(2)     We will notify the users via in site notification within 7 business days.

 

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

 

 

  1. CAN SPAM Act

 

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

 

For users who live in the United States, we collect your email address in order to market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has occurred.

 

To be in accordance with CANSPAM we agree to the following:

(1)     NOT use false, or misleading subjects or email addresses;

(2)     Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way;

(3)     Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters;

(4)     Monitor third party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used;

(5)     Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly; and

(6)     Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.

 

If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email us at hi@modelo.io or follow the instructions at the bottom of each email and we will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.
