Privacy Policy

Protecting your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy describes how we, FDAImports, collect and use the personally and nonpersonally identifiable information that we collect on our websites (including https://fdaimports.com and any other websites or online services that we own and control), through unaffiliated third party service providers that perform services for us (e.g. web-hosting and data management), and from sources such as trade shows, events, and webinars you may attend.

This Privacy Policy also explains your statutory rights. This Privacy Policy is not intended to override the terms of any contract you have with us, nor any rights you might have under applicable data privacy laws.

Information We Collect

We may collect two types of information about you: personally identifiable information and nonpersonally identifiable information.

Personally Identifiable Information

Personally identifiable information includes items such as your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. There are three sources from which we typically obtain this information.

  1. The information that you voluntarily provide to us. For example, you may submit information by clicking our Contact Us page or by subscribing to a blog or newsletter.
  2. Information from our third-party partners. For example, you participate in a seminar held by a third-party partner where one of our attorneys spoke. You gave the seminar organizer your name, title, company, etc. After the seminar, the third-party partner gave us your contact information.
  3. Information obtained from in-person events such as trade shows. For example, you give us your business/name card at our booth at a trade show.

Nonpersonally Identifiable Information

Some of the data we collect and aggregate is considered to be non-personally identifiable information. This information cannot and will not be used to identify, reveal, or disclose the individual with whom such data is associated. See below for use of non-personally identifiable information.

Use of Your Information

We use personally identifiable information primarily for the following purposes:

  1. To provide you with services.
  2. To enter into or carry out contracts.
  3. To conduct our recruiting and selection process.
  4. To deliver industry related information to you, such as sending you newsletters or other information that we believe may be of interest to you.
  5. To complete any other transaction or service requested by you.
  6. To notify you of updates to your account with our company(s).
  7. To notify you of changes to our fees, rates or personnel.

Use of Non-personally Identifiable Information

We may share or disclose your personally identifiable information to law enforcement, government authorities, or third parties (1) as may be permitted by law; (2) as required by legal process, or (3) as needed to perform a contract with you.

We may analyze non-personally identifiable data about your visit to our websites to make them more accessible and interesting for other website visitors. We may share that data with third parties who provide website maintenance or management services.

International Transfer of Information

Your information may be stored in the United States and in other jurisdictions. If you are visiting our websites from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use, please note that your personally identifiable information may be transferred to the United States and to other jurisdictions, which may not have the same data protection laws as the European Union and may not afford many of the rights conferred upon data subjects in the European Union.

For residents of the European Union, you may be entitled to ask us for a copy of your information. You may also be entitled to request us to rectify or erase your personal data or to constrain our use and transfer of your data.

Keeping your information confidential is important to us. The firm accepts and processes client information, which is always subject to the client’s direction and control. The firm maintains reasonable and appropriate, although not infallible, security precautions.

Security

We strive for appropriate safeguards intended to maintain the confidentiality of all personal information provided (no matter whether you are our client or not). However, we do not warrant the 100% security of any information you send to us.

Data Retention

We will keep your data for (1) the time necessary for performing services for you and a reasonable period after; (2) sending you industry updates, news of events and webinars that might interest you, and (3) as may be legally required for records retention.
