MR Direct Sinks and Faucets

MR Direct recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of all information provided by our users. We created the following privacy policy guided by a fundamental respect for our users' right to privacy. This policy applies to MR Direct, Inc. (“MR Direct”).

Notice at Collection—Information Collected and Processed by MR Direct

• MR Direct collects information about users through (1) their registration or submission of inquiries related to some of our products and services; (2) their participation in certain activities on our website, including contests and polls; (3) their purchase of some of our products and services; and/or (4) their navigation of our website via the use of cookies.

• MR Direct does not require users to disclose their personal information, such as name, email or physical address, telephone number or birthdate, to visit and navigate our website, but we do collect this information if and when users are required or requested to submit it to us as described below.

Instances in which Personal Information is Collected

MR Direct may have collected certain personal information in the preceding 12 months through:

• Visiting our Website: When users visit our website and click on various links (i.e., request pages from our server), our web server automatically collects some information about the users, including their IP addresses, rough geographic location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation paths, as well as information about the timing, frequency and pattern of users’ service use. The collection of this information is necessary for us to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer and improve our website to provide the best user experience for website visitors.

• Setting up an Account: When setting up an account on the MR Direct website users will be asked to provide personal data, such as their name and email address. This information will be stored and processed by MR Direct to fulfill or in furtherance of a contract or prospective contract between a user or the user’s organization and MR Direct. Users may deactivate their customer accounts or notify us of their objection to us holding and/or processing the information they provide with respect to their account at any time by contacting MR Direct Customer Service at 1(877) 946 5725 or sales@mrdirectint.com. In either case, we will delete their information and deactivate their account.

• Customer Service: MR Direct may also store and process names, addresses, emails and phone numbers provided by our users to complete a customer service request through an online customer service request form or via telephone. This information will be stored and processed by MR Direct to fulfill such user’s customer service request or inquiry. Users may request the deletion of their personal information upon completion and processing of the user’s purchase at any time by contacting MR Direct Customer Service at 1(877) 946 5725 or sales@mrdirectint.com or by visiting the TrustArc link at the bottom of the MR Direct website.

• Purchasing our Products and Services: MR Direct may also store and process names, addresses and encrypted credit card information provided by our users to complete a user’s purchase of our products and services through our eCommerce sites. This information will be stored and processed by a third-party service provider to fulfill such user’s purchase. Users may request the deletion of their personal information upon completion and processing of the user’s purchase at any time by contacting MR Direct Customer Service at 1(877) 946 5725 or sales@mrdirectint.com or by visiting the TrustArc link at the bottom of the MR Direct website.

• Signing up for Newsletters and Promotions: MR Direct may also store and process e-mail addresses provided by our users to send out e-mail newsletters and promotional e-mail to our users about services and products offered by our website if users opt in to receive such communications. By opting in, users are consenting to MR Direct sending the requested newsletters, emails or other communication. If users want to subsequently opt out of receiving these communications, they can click on the “Unsubscribe” link in any newsletter or promotional e-mail and we will delete their contact information.

• Signing up for MR Direct-Sponsored Contests and Polls: MR Direct may occasionally sponsor a contest or conduct a poll on our website where, in order to participate, users must enter personal information, including name, phone number, address and/or email address. MR Direct will collect and process this information in furtherance of our users’ desire to participate in such contests and polls. After the completion of the contests or polls, we will keep user information only in accordance with law or our legal retention periods, unless directed otherwise by our users (for example, if a user, through the entry of a contest, also opts-in to receive MR Direct advertisements or newsletters). Occasionally, MR Direct may conduct a contest or poll through one of our third-party marketing agencies. In such cases, the collection and processing of participants’ personal information will be done by such third parties and subject to their own privacy policies. Our users will be notified if MR Direct uses a third-party agency to conduct any of its contests or polls.

From information collected we compile broad demographic information about our users to aid in our legitimate business interest of improving advertising or the usefulness of our website for our users. This demographic information does not contain anything that can identify users personally. However, we may combine demographic information supplied by a subscriber at registration with site usage data, to provide profiles, in aggregate form, about our users and their preferences in the content of the site and advertising. While we do not sell any consumer personal information to third parties, we may share this composite information with our advertisers to help them better understand our services, but we do not give advertisers or other third parties information about individual users or their usage of the website.

Users may object to the processing of their data for the abovementioned purposes for any reason or no reason; however, due to technical reasons, it is not possible to entirely stop processing non-personal information for users that visit our website. Users should not visit our website if they do not wish to have any of their information processed.

Users may inquire about MR Direct products and services visiting our website and entering in their name and contact information. This information is being collected and processed at our users’ request and for the purpose of addressing their questions or comments related to MR Direct products and services.

After MR Direct completes the processing of a request, the correspondence is to be kept for the period of time required under statute or legal retention periods and the contact information is thereafter deleted.

MR Direct occasionally contracts with third parties to provide services to our users. In performing their duties under these contracts, these third parties may have access to personal information supplied by our users; however, they are required to maintain the confidentiality of this information and are prohibited from using the information for purposes outside the scope of the contract between MR Direct and such third party. Some of our third-party processors include payment processors, analytic providers, software developers and marketing agencies. MR Direct will not reveal any personal information that users provide to us to any third party unless necessary to fulfill a contract, a user provides his/her consent or the disclosure is permitted under applicable law. Third parties will not contact our users through the use of our e-mail newsletter lists except through advertisements within the newsletters themselves or unless users ask to be placed on a list to receive e-mail from our advertisers on subjects of interest.

With respect to third-party websites linked to the MR Direct website, once a user clicks on such third-party website, he or she will automatically be connected to that website. Such third-party websites may collect, process or use our users’ personal information. As such, we recommend reviewing the privacy policy and terms of use of such third-party websites before our users submit their personal information on non-MR Direct websites.

Our website uses cookies (text files placed on your computer) to deliver content specific to users' interests and to honor their preferences. This information is used to assist us in creating a website that will serve the needs of our users.

In order to achieve our legitimate interest of providing our users with a better customer experience, our site also uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (Google).

Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users in general use our website. The information generated by the cookie about use of the MR Direct website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on their servers. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating users’ use of the MR Direct website and compiling reports on website activity for website operators.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Google is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield, which provides a certain level of data protection with respect to the processing of data by Google. Users may withdraw their consent to the use of Google Analytics’ analysis by clicking on “Cookie Preferences” at the bottom of our website and opting out of Google’s use of cookies.

In addition to the deletion policies described above, which include a user’s request for deletion of their personal information by contacting MR Direct Customer Service at 1(877) 946 5725 or sales@mrdirectint.com or by visiting the TrustArc link at the bottom of the MR Direct website, we shall not retain personal information for any purpose or purposes longer than is necessary to fulfill such purpose or purposes or longer than permitted by applicable law; provided that you may request that your personal information be deleted by revoking your consent or objecting to its use based on a legitimate interest (without MR Direct providing overriding legitimate grounds). MR Direct, with the assistance of TrustArc, shall verify such deletion request and may, among other things, ask such user to confirm their identity by clicking on a confirmation link via email. MR Direct will not discriminate against a user if such user chooses to exercise their rights under this policy or as provided by the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”). However, for our users’ safety, certain requests for deletion cannot be fulfilled if we cannot verify such user’s identify. Such denial of a request for deletion or information is not discriminatory.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this policy, we may retain and process users’ personal data where such retention is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person. A user may object to the continued storage and processing of their information, but if we are able to demonstrate legitimate grounds to override such user’s interest we may still store and process such information.

The MR Direct website complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, which protects the privacy of children using the Internet.
