Site updated as of February 4, 2021
MODERN LAW is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy informs you about our online data collection and use. The terms of this policy apply to all MODERN LAW websites unless different terms are specified in a form or contract provided to you online or offline.
By using this site, you understand and agree to the terms of this policy. This site is owned by MODERN LAW and may be accessed in Mexico and abroad. For data protection purposes, MODERN LAW is the controller and, unless otherwise stated, is also the data processor. Information collected may be retained and stored, processed, accessed and used in jurisdictions whose privacy laws may be different and less protective than those of your home jurisdiction.
Collection of your personal information
MODERN LAW collects certain types of information, such as the website that referred you to us, your IP address, browser type and language, and access times. We may also collect navigational information, including information about the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions taken in connection with the site.
We may combine your visit and browsing information with personal information you provide to us. You can always choose not to provide personal information, but if you wish, certain products and services may not be available to you. Personal information (e.g., your username and password, your name, mailing address, email address and phone number) is collected when you register. Additional personal information (e.g., your credit card number and billing address) is collected to process transactions or to provide products and services to you.
Limited demographic information, such as the industry in which you work, is sometimes collected and may be linked to your personal information.
Use of Your Personal Information
MODERN LAW collects and uses your personal information to operate and improve our sites, process your transactions, provide customer service, conduct research and analysis to improve our products, services and technologies, and display content customized to your interests and preferences.
We also use your personal information to communicate with you. We may send transaction-related communications, such as welcome letters, billing reminders, and purchase confirmations.
We may also send you surveys or marketing emails to inform you about new products or services or other information that may be of interest to you. If you do not wish to receive marketing emails, you may adjust your “Personal Information Preferences” as described below or follow the “unsubscribe” instructions included in each email.
Personal information collected by MODERN LAW may be stored and processed in Mexico or any other country in which MODERN LAW or its affiliates, subsidiaries, contractors or agents maintain facilities, and by using our sites or services, you consent to such transfer of information outside of your country. MODERN LAW complies with the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework and the U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from European Union member countries and Switzerland. MODERN LAW has certified that it adheres to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access and enforcement.

Sharing Your Personal Information
Except as stated in this privacy policy, MODERN LAW does not share your personal information with third parties. However, we may share your personal information within our corporate group, including with our subsidiaries and divisions, all of which may use your information for the purposes described in this document.
We may share your personal information with service providers who perform services on our behalf. For example, we may contract with other companies to handle payment processing, to provide data storage, to host websites, to fulfill orders and shipments, to assist in direct marketing, to perform audits, etc. Those companies will be allowed to obtain only the personal information they need to provide the service. They are required to keep the information confidential and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
Information about our customers, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition or sale of the company and/or its assets, as well as in the unlikely event of insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership, in which personal information would be transferred as one of the company’s business assets.
We will notify you of such an occurrence as described in the “Changes to this Privacy Policy” section below.
We reserve the right to disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, or if we believe in good faith that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, respond to claims, or protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, employees, customers, or the public.
Access to Your Personal Information
If you wish to review or change the information you previously provided to us, you may access your information in the “Session” section of the website. Your account executive can also assist you in making changes, as well as exercising your right to have your personal information deleted. If you need additional assistance, please contact us at info@modernlawonline.com. You can expect a response from us within ten calendar days. Please note that you cannot change your user name without re-registering.

Use of cookies and other technologies
MODERN LAW uses “cookies” to enable you to sign in to our services and to help personalize and enhance your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard drive or device. Cookies contain information, including personal information that can then be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie. The information that cookies collect includes the date and time of your visit, your registration information, and your browsing and shopping history.
Cookies offer you many conveniences:
They allow us to identify registered users when they return to the site so they can retrieve search results from previous images, access shopping carts, and view their previous invoices.
Cookies save you time by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information. They also allow us to provide you with personalized content, including search results and targeted advertising.
Cookies help protect your security by verifying your login information and can help prevent fraud and remember your preferences when using the site. They also identify individual customers in case that customer wants assistance from a live, online customer service representative.
We strive to make this site easy to use and relevant. Our goal is to provide you with more personalized products and services.
For this purpose, MODERN LAW also works with external partners, who use cookies on our site to:

Security of your personal information
The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to help protect your personal information. For example, when you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
If a password is used to protect your account and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential.
Forums and other interactive services
Our websites may include discussion forums or other interactive areas or services, including blogs, chat rooms, bulletin boards, message boards, online storage or hosting services, or other areas or services in which you or third parties create, post or store any content, messages, comments, materials or other items on the sites (“Interactive Areas”). If you use an Interactive Area, you should be aware that these areas are open to the public and that any personal information you post or provide when registering may be visible to others. We are not responsible for the personal information you submit in connection with the Interactive Areas, nor are we responsible for how others may use that information, including to send you unsolicited messages. Interactive Area postings may be retained indefinitely. If at any time you wish to remove a posting, please e-mail us at Please note that removal of a posting from an Interactive Area does not mean that the posting will be deleted from our systems.
E-mail Referrals
If you choose to use our email referral services to tell a friend about our products or services (including images in your Lightbox, promotional campaigns, new websites, job postings, etc.), we will ask you for your friend’s name and email address.
We will use that information to send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site and review the product or service he or she has selected. We may use a third-party vendor to administer this feature, but that third-party vendor may only use the information submitted to facilitate this one-time email. Neither MODERN LAW nor any third-party provider stores this information after the e-mail is sent.

We do not intend to solicit or collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you should not use or enter information on this site, including but not limited to the interactive areas of the website.

We may link to websites, including those of our third party content providers, that have privacy policies and practices different from those disclosed here. We assume no responsibility for the policies or practices of such linked sites and encourage you to familiarize yourself with them prior to use.
