3.2 Buyer Information

Modern Dropship makes its Services available to Sellers. Sellers are able to store and process data about their client when they sell items on the marketplace, which data may contain Personal Information of Buyers, such as their address for shipping goods. 

3.3 Website Visitors

As you visit or browse the Website, we collect information about the device and browser you use, your network connection, your IP address, and information about the cookies installed on your device. This information is logged to help diagnose technical problems for analytics and for quality control purposes. We also collect Personal Information submitted by any visitor to our Website through messaging features we make available on our Website and use such information for the purpose of responding to your requests.

3.4 Cookies

Modern Dropship requires authentication and authorization in order to process Account access. As such, we use cookies throughout the Services to authenticate users.

A cookie is a small amount of data, which may include a unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. We assign a different cookie to each device that accesses our Website.

Modern Dropship cookies set the secure attribute to true, forcing an encrypted HTTPS connection with our services. We set the Same-Site attribute to strict, meaning that no other website or online service can access Modern Dropship cookies when you are not using Modern Dropship.

We use cookies to recognize devices and provide a personalized experience through the Services. In particular, Modern Dropship uses session cookies containing encrypted information to allow the system to uniquely identify you while you are logged in. This information allows Modern Dropship to process your online transactions and requests. Session cookies help us make sure you are who you say you are after you’ve logged in and are required in order to use the Services.

Modern Dropship also combines data derived from our usage of cookies with Account Information of registered users for the purposes set out in Section 3.1 above.

3.5 Application Users

Users of the Modern Dropship web application are subject to additional information collection. We collect information about usage, including user account details, IP address, clicks and page views. Together, we refer to this as Usage Information.

Modern Dropship processes usage information using a third-party service provider LogRocket. LogRocket allows Modern Dropship to see what our users experience during use of the Modern Dropship web application, and to improve the user experience of the web application over time.

Your data is sent to LogRocket over a secure (HTTPS) connection directly from your browser session to their servers. This allows us to securely collect data about your usage of our services. If you would like to read more about the handling of your data by LogRocket, visit their Privacy Policy.

By default, Modern Dropship collects usage data that is not sensitive (avoiding credentials, credit cards and other forms of sensitive data) and stores it with LogRocket.

Modern Dropship users have the ability to disable usage information collection. Please contact support or visit your settings. This will allow you to anonymize your usage data, or entirely prevent usage data sharing, in order to optimize your experience.

Further, we may disclose Personal Information when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is required by and in accordance with the law.

RETENTION

6. Generally, Modern Dropship will keep your Personal Information for as long as it remains necessary for the identified purpose or as required by law, which may extend beyond the termination of our relationship with you. When a Buyer makes a purchase, the Personal Information collected to process the transactions is stored for a limited time (until the order is shipped) and then deleted. Account Information is stored as long as the Account is active.

We may also retain certain data as necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data, account recovery, or if required by law. All retained Personal Information will remain subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

ACCESS, CORRECTION AND ACCURACY

7. You have the right to access the Personal Information we hold about you in order to verify the Personal Information we have collected in respect to you and to have a general account of our uses of that information. Upon receipt of your written request, we will provide you with a copy of your Personal Information, although in certain limited circumstances, and as permitted under law, we may not be able to make all relevant information available to you, such as where that information also pertains to another user. In such circumstances we will provide reasons for the denial to you upon request. We will endeavor to deal with all requests for access and modifications in a timely manner.

We will make every reasonable effort to keep your Personal Information accurate and up to date, and we will provide you with mechanisms to update, correct, delete or add to your Personal Information as appropriate. As appropriate, this amended Personal Information will be transmitted to those parties to which we are permitted to disclose your information. Having accurate Personal Information about you enables us to give you the best possible service.
