Shortridge Instruments Inc. is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the personal information of all individuals who interact with our website, products, and services. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we collect, the purposes for which we process such information, and the measures we take to safeguard it in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), and, where applicable, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union.

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including, but not limited to, your name, company affiliation, mailing address, telephone number, and email address. In addition, we may automatically collect certain technical information through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, browser type, and interactions with our website, for the purposes of website functionality, analytics, and service improvement. The information collected is used to operate, maintain, and enhance our products and services; to respond to inquiries and fulfill requests; to process orders and transactions; and to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

No mobile information for SMS text, including the sender’s phone number, will be shared with any third parties or affiliates. This includes information collected through SMS text messaging programs, customer support communications, or marketing messages. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. Consent to receive SMS messages is not required as a condition of purchase.

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise disclose personal information to third parties for marketing or solicitation purposes. We may, however, share personal information with trusted service providers that perform functions on our behalf - such as website hosting, payment processing, or customer support - subject to strict contractual confidentiality and data protection obligations. We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Shortridge Instruments Inc., our users, or others.

We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. While we take these precautions seriously, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the absolute security of any information you transmit to us.

If you are located within the European Union or the European Economic Area, you are entitled to exercise the rights provided under the GDPR, including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, to restrict or object to its processing, and to withdraw consent where consent has been given. Such requests may be submitted to privacy@shortridge.com, and we will respond in accordance with applicable legal obligations.

You may also request to opt out of marketing communications or the processing of your personal data for promotional purposes at any time by contacting us at privacy@shortridge.com.
