Our Practices
Meta Power Solutions does not sell personal information for monetary consideration. However, certain cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies deployed on our Site by third-party advertising partners may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under applicable data privacy laws, because they enable those third parties to collect identifiers, browsing activity, and device information from our Site for targeted advertising purposes.

We also create customer lead lists from trade shows and purchase lead lists from third-party providers. We use behavioral data and advertising interactions to score and prioritize these leads through our marketing automation platform.
We do not sell or share personal information of consumers we know to be under 16.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to opt out of your personal information being used for these purposes. Please visit the U.S. State Privacy Rights, California Privacy Rights, and International Residents sections of this Privacy Policy for additional information.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object to such processing (see "Your Rights" below).

Where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
International Transfers of Personal Data
Meta Power Solutions is based in the United States. When we transfer personal data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to the United States or other countries outside the EEA/UK that have not been deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection, we implement appropriate safeguards to protect your personal data. These safeguards include the use of Standard Contractual Clauses ("SCCs") approved by the European Commission and, where applicable, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, as the legal mechanism for such transfers. You may obtain a copy of the relevant transfer mechanism by contacting us at Legal@MetaPowerSolutions.com.

- Right to Object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis, including processing for direct marketing purposes. Where you object to processing for direct marketing, we will cease processing your personal data for that purpose.

- Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. Meta Power Solutions does not currently engage in solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of the rights described above, please contact us at any of the addresses provided in Section 15. We will respond to your request within one month of receipt. If your request is complex or we receive a large number of requests, we may extend this period by up to two additional months, and we will inform you of any such extension.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe that our processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR or UK GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. For UK residents, the relevant supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which can be contacted at https://ico.org.uk/. For residents of an EEA member state, you may lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country of residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.
