What Kind of Information Does Moroso Collect?

Information Collected on Site:

The Site does not use cookies. However, the Site has a “Subscribe to Moroso News” portal pursuant to which you may voluntarily provide Personal Information including name, phone number and email address which results in the collection of such Personal Information. The sole purpose of such collection is to enable us to contact you for whatever business purpose you identify. Such information is not sold, shared or disclosed.

Most often, Personal Information is collected directly from Clients, Applicants, Employees or Independent Contractors, including information by which you may be personally identified, such as name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, social security number or bank account number. In some cases, Applicants, Employees or Independent Contractor Personal Information is collected from third parties as part of background checks.

How Does Moroso Use And Protect The Information It Collects?

At Moroso, we have a firm commitment to protecting your privacy and security as a Client, Applicant, Employee, or Independent Contractor. Moroso follows what it believes are reasonable practices for storing all data including Personal Information. Personal data is only accessible by authorized employees. When storing information, we strive to protect its security by encryption and pseudonymization of critical data if reasonable. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of Personal Information.

Please be aware that the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to our Site. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site.

Ensuring your privacy is important to us. We only disclose entire or part of your data in the limited circumstances described in the Notice and or below and with appropriate safeguards on your privacy as follows:

By Law or to Protect Rights and Property – We will disclose information about you in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legitimate governmental request. We may share account and Personal Information with companies, organizations or individuals when we believe in good-faith that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is necessary to meet any applicable law, comply with regulation, legal process or enforceable request; to enforce or apply our agreements; to investigate potential violations; to protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Moroso, our users or the public as required or permitted by law. To the extent we are legally permitted to do so, we will take all reasonable steps to notify you in the event that we are required to provide your Personal Information to third parties as part of legal process.

Moroso Clients, Employees, and Independent Contractors – We may use your Personal Information to provide you with information and services that you request of us. We may disclose Personal Information about you to our external consultants, auditors or other third parties, some of our employees, and individuals who are our independent contractors that need to know the information in order to help us process the information on our behalf and also for administrative purposes. We require all of them to comply strictly with this Privacy Policy. We may use your Personal Information to carry out our obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including for billing and collection.

Business Transfers – In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that Moroso goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. If any of these events happens, we will take any reasonable steps to notify you and this Privacy Policy would continue to apply to your information and the party receiving your information shall continue to use your information, but only consistent with this Privacy Policy.

With Your Consent – With your explicit consent or at your direction we may share and disclose information you have authorized us to with third parties. We will not, however, sell, rent, share or otherwise disclose personally identifiable information for commercial purposes in any way that is contrary to the commitments made in this Privacy Policy. We will take all reasonable steps to notify you when and what information might go to third parties and you will be able to choose whether to share it or not.

Third-Party Disclosure and Links – Except in the case of a sale of our company, in which we would transfer your Personal Information and personal data to the buyer in order to continue to provide services to you, we do not sell or share your Personal Information or personal data to or with third parties to use for their own marketing purposes. We do not otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personal Information unless we provide you with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website or conducting our business, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others’ rights, property, or safety.

We do not include or offer any products or services on our Site.

 

How Long Does Moroso Retain Your Personal Information?

We may retain your personal data for a period of time consistent with the original purpose of collection or as long as required to fulfill our legal obligations. We determine the appropriate retention period for personal data on the basis of the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data being processed, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the personal data, whether we can achieve the purposes of the processing through other means, and on the basis of applicable legal requirements (such as applicable statutes of limitation).

In some cases, retention is dictated because, although Moroso would desire to delete Personal Information, it would require disproportionate effort to delete it in accordance with our retention policies or otherwise. Such information would, for example, not be in a searchable or readily-accessible format, maintained only for legal compliance purposes, not sold or used for commercial purposes and would not impact you in a material manner. If there is any data that we are unable, for technical reasons, to delete entirely from our systems, we will implement appropriate measures to prevent any further use of such data except as otherwise disclosed herein or in the Notice.

 

Third Party Sites:

The Site may contain links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when leaving the Site to read the privacy statements of each site that collects personal information.

 

Social Media Features and Widgets:

Our Site may integrate with social sharing features or other related tools which let you share actions you take on our Site with other apps, sites or media, and vice versa. These features may enable the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the social sharing service. These features may also collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on our Site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Your interaction with these features is governed by the privacy policy of the relevant platform. Please refer to the privacy policies of those social sharing services for more information.

 

Do Not Track Signals:

At present, we do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals as there are currently no fixed standards for do not track signals. Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a DNT feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected.

Your Right to Opt Out of Sales or Sharing of Personal Information

Moroso will not delete Personal Information which is used to enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with the expectations of the consumer based on the consumer’s relationship with Moroso’s business and compatible with the context in which the consumer provided the information, e.g. employment related Personal Information will not be deleted if reasonably related to Moroso’s future operational purposes.
