Metrodora Institute Privacy Policy
Updated on October 31, 2022
Welcome to the Metrodora Institute’s (“Metrodora,” “we,” “our,” and “us”) Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy describes how your Personal Information is collected, used, and shared when you visit Metrodora.co (the “Site”) or send us communications, such as through email. We take your privacy seriously, and this page outlines how we collect, use, share, and protect your Personal Information.
Metrodora may have different privacy notices or policies that apply to certain specific situations, such as if you participate in a research study through Metrodora. If you were given a different privacy notice or policy, that notice or policy—not this Privacy Policy—will apply to that specific situation. Metrodora may work with partners or platforms that also handle your data, and you can review those data policies as outlined below.
“Personal Information” is any information that can be used to identify you or that can be linked directly to you (or your household, under some privacy laws). Under some privacy laws, Personal Information can also include information that indirectly identifies you. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, Personal Information includes “Personal Data” as that term is defined under applicable locations’ privacy laws.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time and encourage you to review it whenever you access the Site or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our privacy practices. The practices described in this Privacy Policy are subject to applicable laws in the United States only.

Please note that we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser.
Additionally when you fill out a form through the Site, such as inquiring to join our team, or send us communications, we collect certain information from you, including your name, email address, location, job title, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Contact Information.”
