| Privacy Policy
Macroscale Research Group, LLC and its subsidiaries
("Macroscale Research", "Macroscale" or "we") respect your privacy
and are committed to protecting personal information that you
may share with us. This Privacy Policy describes how we may
collect and use your personal information.
Information We Collect
Personal information means any information that may be used
to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a
first and last name, email address, a home, postal or other
physical address, other contact information, title, occupation,
industry, personal interests, and other information when needed
to provide a service or product or carry out a transaction you
have requested. Unless you choose to voluntarily provide the
information to us, we do not collect personally identifiable
information about you, such as your name, address, telephone
number, fax number, or e-mail address. For instance, you may be
asked to provide us with your personal information when you
register to attend a company event, or wish to subscribe to a
newsletter. If you elect to submit any personal information,
your submission is subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy
and you consent to such terms.
Like many other commercial websites, the Macroscale Research
Group, LLC website may use standard technologies, such as
"cookies" and other HTML tools, to collect information about
how you use the site or to record that you opened an email
marketing message. As such, we may log your IP address (the
Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of which
part of our website you visit and how long you spend there. See
section entitled "Cookies" below.
Cookies
Some parts of the Macroscale Research Group, LLC website use
cookies to track user traffic patterns. We do this in order to
determine the usefulness of our website information to our
users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in
helping users reach that information. A cookie is a small data
file that certain web sites write to your hard drive when you
visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a
user ID that the site uses to track the pages you have
visited.
If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our
website, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting
cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to
its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them
off in your browser, although you may not be able to take full
advantage of the Macroscale Research Group, LLC website if you
do so. In particular, you may be required to accept cookies in
order to complete certain actions on our website. You do not
need to have cookies turned on, however, to use/navigate
through many parts of our website, except access to certain of
Macroscale Research Group, LLC’s web pages that may require a
login and password.
Notice
When personal information is collected, we will inform you
at the point of collection the purpose for the collection.
Macroscale Research Group, LLC will not transfer your personal
information to third parties without your consent, except under
the limited conditions described under the section entitled
"Information Sharing and Disclosure" below.
In most cases we will provide you with the opportunity to
"opt in" prior to receiving direct marketing or market research
information. This means we will require your affirmative action
to indicate your consent before we use your information for
purposes other than the purpose for which it was submitted. At
a minimum, we will always give you the opportunity to "opt out"
of receiving such materials. This means we assume you have
given us your consent to collect and use your information in
accordance with this Privacy Policy unless you take affirmative
action to indicate that you do not consent, for instance by
clicking or checking the appropriate option or box at the point
of collection.
How We Use Information
Collected
Macroscale Research Group, LLC uses personal information for
several general purposes: to fulfill your requests for certain
products and services, to personalize your experience on our
website, to keep you up to date on the latest product
announcements, software updates, special offers or other
information we think you would like to hear about either from
us or from our business partners, and to better understand your
needs and provide you with better services. We may also use
your information to send you, or to have our business partners
send you, direct marketing information or contact you for
market research.
Information Sharing and
Disclosure
We do not transfer or share your information except as
provided below:
- Because Macroscale Research Group, LLC is a global
company, your personal information may be transferred or
shared with other Macroscale Research Group, LLC offices or
subsidiaries around the world. This may result in your

other countries or jurisdictions around the world. All such
entities are governed by this Privacy Policy.
- Macroscale Research Group, LLC may also share your
information to third parties if we collect your information
for a specific purpose (e.g., to register you for an event
or register for the newsletter) and such third party must
receive your information for registration purposes (e.g.,
third party operates the newsletter).
- Macroscale Research Group, LLC may also share your
information with our business partners in those cases where
we believe that your business might be served and we can
better provide you with updates on services and benefits
provided by us and our business partners.
- Macroscale Research Group, LLC may also send your
personal information to other companies or people if:
* * we have your consent to share the information; or
* * if required to do so by law, or if we have a
good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply
with a court order or subpoena, to cooperate with
investigations by law enforcement or regulatory authorities
or to participate or cooperate with a judicial proceeding,
or in urgent circumstances, to protect personal safety, the
public or our websites;
- In the event of a merger, consolidation or reorganization
involving Macroscale Research Group, LLC, acquisition of
Macroscale Research Group, LLC by another company, a sale
of all or a portion of Macroscale Research Group, LLC’s
assets, or other similar transaction, your personal
information will, in most instances, be transferred to the
control of the third party that is part of that
transaction.
Data Security
Macroscale Research Group, LLC and its companies are
committed to protecting your personal information and do so
with certain physical and technological procedures. However, we
cannot ensure the security of the information as you transmit
it to us, and so we urge you to take every precaution to
protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. This
includes using a secure browser where applicable.
Changes to this Privacy
Policy
We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we
make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal
information we will make that information available by posting
a notice on this site. We may also, but are not required to,
notify you by email or regular mail.
