IP Address
We may record the Internet Protocol (“IP”) address of your computer or other electronic device when you visit the Molecular Devices Sites. An IP address identifies the electronic device you use to access the Sites, which allows us to maintain communication with your computer as you move about Molecular Devices Sites and to customize content.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We also collect information about your use of Molecular Devices Sites through tracking technologies such as cookies and web beacons. A “cookie” is a unique numeric code that is transferred to your computer to track your interests and preferences and to recognize you as a return visitor. A “Web beacon” is a transparent graphic image placed on a Web site, e-mail or advertisement that enables the monitoring of things such as user activity and site traffic. These technologies help remember your preferences and allow us to bring you the content and features that are likely to be of greatest interest to you on the basis of “clickstream” data that shows your previous activities on Molecular Devices Sites.
We utilize Google Display Advertising (such as Retargeting with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, DoubleClick Campaign Manager integration, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting) to (1) show you our ads on other websites based on your prior visits to Molecular Devices Sites, and (2) better understand our ad impressions and use of ad services. In connection with the Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting service, we may use data from Google’s interest-based advertising or third-party audience data (such as age, gender and interests) with Google Analytics to understand and improve our marketing campaigns and Site content.
Some of our online advertising takes place through Google Display Advertising. As part of this program, we use Google Analytics features such as Retargeting. In connection with that feature and others offered by ad networks, we and the operators of ad networks, including Google, may use third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) – and in some cases first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) – to inform, optimize and serve ads across the Internet, based on a user’s past visits to Molecular Devices Sites. We also may show you ads from some of our affiliated companies when you visit Molecular Devices Sites.
You can opt out of Google Ads by visiting https://www.google.com/ads/preferences . If you do not want your data used by Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at the Google Analytics opt-out page .

Legal Basis for Processing
Under data protection laws, Molecular Devices must have a legal basis to process your Personal Data. The legal basis that applies in an instance will depend on for which of the specific purposes described above Molecular Devices is processing your Personal Data:
- In certain cases, Molecular Devices may ask for your consent to collect and process your Personal Data. Should you choose to provide your consent, you may later withdraw your consent by contacting us as described in the “Your Privacy Choices” section. Please note that the withdrawal of consent will not affect processing which has already occurred.
- In other instances, the processing of your Personal Data may be necessary in order to comply with an applicable law or regulation or for the performance of a contract to which you are subject. You may not be able to opt-out of this processing, or your choice to opt-out may impact our ability to perform a contractual obligation otherwise owed to you.
- In still other instances, Molecular Devices may process your Personal Data based on Molecular Devices’ legitimate interests in communicating with you about our products and services, and about scientific research and educational opportunities. You have the right to opt-out of all such processing of your Personal Data. You may do so by contacting us as described in the “Your Privacy Choices” section.
INFORMATION WE SHARE

Third-Party Advertising and Online Behavioral Advertising
You may be provided with online advertisements of Molecular Devices products and services on third-party websites and mobile services that are tailored to you, for example, on the basis of information that you provide to Molecular Devices or a third-party website you are visiting, or of your browsing activity, purchases, or interests. These types of tailored online advertisements may come through several sources, such as the following:
- We may share with our advertising service providers your non-identifying information that we have obtained from cookies and other tracking technologies on our Molecular Devices Sites.
- Some Molecular Devices Sites participate in online behavioral advertising (this is also sometimes called re-target advertising or interest-based advertising).

As discussed above, you can opt-out from advertisers that use your browsing history to deliver online behavioral advertisements by clicking on the AdChoices icon.
Affiliates, Vendors and Suppliers
We have relationships with suppliers and affiliated companies who help us operate our business and for whom it may be necessary to have access to your Personal Data in the course of providing services to Molecular Devices.

We do not share Personal Data from countries that require consent, unless consent has been obtained in advance to sharing with related affiliates. We require these parties to handle Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Notice.
Co-branded Sites
We may partner with other companies to provide you with content or services on a joint or “co-branded” basis. At a co branded site, you will see both the Molecular Devices logo and the logo of the co-branding partner displayed on your screen. You should read the individual privacy policies of our co-branding partners, as they may differ in some respects from ours.

THIRD PARTY SITES AND SOCIAL MEDIA PLUG-INS
This Privacy Notice does not apply to Molecular Devices Sites that do not link to this Privacy Notice, or to third-party Web sites to which Molecular Devices Sites may link.

If you are logged into the social media Web site (e.g., Facebook, Twitter) while browsing on our Molecular Devices Site, the social media plug-in allows that social media Web site to receive information that you have visited our Molecular Devices Site. The social media plug-in also allows the social media Web site to share information about your activities on our Molecular Devices Site with other users of their social media Web site. These sharing settings are managed by the social media Web site and governed by its privacy policy.

The level of legal protection for Personal Data is not the same in all countries; however, we will take the security measures described in this Privacy Notice in an effort to keep your information secure. By using this site, you consent to storage and processing of your Personal Data in the United States and in any country to which we may transfer your information in the course of our business operations.
