Modern Concrete & Materials Privacy Policy

Updated April 25, 2022

Modern Concrete & Materials Privacy Policy describes how Modern Concrete & Materials collects, uses, and shares your personal data.

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices, accessible via the headings below, and contact us if you have any questions.

What is Personal Data at Modern Concrete & Materials?

At Modern Concrete & Materials, we believe strongly in fundamental privacy rights. That’s why we treat any data that relates to an identified or identifiable individual as “personal data.” This means that data that directly identifies you — such as your name — is personal data, and also data that does not directly identify you, but that can reasonably be used to identify you — such as a customer account number is personal data. Aggregated data is considered non‑personal data for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy covers how Modern Concrete & Materials or a Modern Concrete & Materials-affiliated company (collectively, “Modern Concrete & Materials”) handles personal data whether you interact with us on our websites, through an employment application, or in person (including by phone or when visiting one of our locations). Modern Concrete & Materials’ Privacy Policy does not apply to how third parties define personal data or how they use it. We encourage you to read their privacy policies and know your privacy rights before interacting with them.

Your Privacy Rights at Modern Concrete & Materials

At Modern Concrete & Materials, we respect your ability to know, access, correct, transfer, restrict the processing of, and delete your personal data. We have provided these rights to our customer base and if you choose to exercise these privacy rights, you have the right not to be treated in a discriminatory way nor to receive a lesser degree of service from Modern Concrete & Materials. Modern Concrete & Materials does not sell your data. 

To exercise your privacy rights and choices including where a third-party service provider is acting on Modern Concrete & Materials’ behalf, contact us.

There may be situations where we cannot grant your request — for example, if you ask us to delete your transaction data and Modern Concrete & Materials is legally obligated to keep a record of that transaction to comply with law. We may also decline to grant a request where doing so would undermine our legitimate use of data for anti-fraud and security purposes, such as when you request deletion of an account that is being investigated for security concerns. Other reasons your privacy request may be denied are if it jeopardizes the privacy of others, is frivolous or vexatious, or would be extremely impractical.

Personal Data Modern Concrete & Materials Collects from You

At Modern Concrete & Materials, we believe that you can have great service and great privacy. This means that we strive to collect only the personal data that we need. The personal data Modern Concrete & Materials collects depends on how you interact with Modern Concrete & Materials.
