Privacy policy

1. Information We Collect

To fulfill your orders for medical tools and research supplies efficiently, we collect both personal and technical information from our users.

A. Personal Identification Information

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when placing an order, registering an account, subscribing to newsletters, or contacting our customer service. This includes:

• Contact Data: First and last name, email address, phone number, and company or institutional affiliation.
• Shipping & Billing Data: Physical shipping addresses and billing addresses required to deliver products.
• Payment Information: Financial data required to process transactions securely. BMR Supply does not store raw credit card numbers — all payments are securely processed by our third-party, PCI-compliant payment gateways.

B. Automated Technical & Usage Data

When you navigate bmrsupply.com, our servers automatically collect data regarding your interaction with our site to optimize user experience and search engine performance. This includes:

• Log Data: Your IP address, browser type and version, language preferences, and the specific pages you visit.
• Time and Date Stamps: The exact time and duration of your visits to our product listings.
• Device Information: Operating system, device model (desktop, mobile, or tablet), and referral sources.

C. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and pixels to track activity on our platform and store specific preferences. See Section 6 for full details.

2. How We Use Your Information

BMR Supply utilizes your data to provide a seamless, secure, and reliable e-commerce experience. We process your information for the following purposes:

• Order Fulfillment & Logistics: To process transactions, manage inventory, ship products, and coordinate with our logistics network.
• Customer Support: To respond to product inquiries, process returns, handle technical questions, and address order discrepancies.
• Account Management: To maintain your registered customer portal, verify credentials, and track purchase history.
• Website Optimization & Analytics: To monitor traffic trends, diagnose technical errors, and improve site layout and performance.
• Marketing & Communications: With your explicit consent, to send promotional updates, product catalog launches, and exclusive discounts. You can opt out at any time.

3. How Data Is Shared: Third-Party & Dropshipping Disclosures

Because BMR Supply operates a diverse distribution model — including carrying our own inventory, manufacturing proprietary tools, and utilizing select drop-shipping arrangements — your data must occasionally be shared with trusted third parties to ensure successful delivery.

We only share data under the following strict conditions:

• Fulfillment Partners and Manufacturers: For products fulfilled via dropshipping, your name, shipping address, and phone number are securely transferred to our manufacturing partners solely for the purpose of picking, packing, and delivering your order. These partners are strictly prohibited from using your data for marketing or any secondary purpose.
• Shipping and Logistics Couriers: We share your delivery details with major carriers such as UPS, FedEx, or DHL to transport your order.
• Payment Processors: Your payment data is transmitted via encrypted channels to secure, merchant-certified payment processors.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required by applicable local, state, federal, or international laws, or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities.

4. Data Security & Storage

The security of your data is paramount, particularly when handling orders for professional research and medical equipment. BMR Supply implements industry-standard technical and organizational security measures:

• SSL Encryption: Our website uses SSL encryption across all pages. Any data transmitted between your browser and our servers — including personal data and payment inputs — remains fully encrypted.
• Access Controls: Access to your personal data is strictly limited to authorized BMR Supply employees who require it to execute order processing and customer service tasks.
• Data Minimization: We only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill orders, meet accounting requirements, satisfy legal obligations, or resolve ongoing business disputes.

While we take every commercial precaution to safeguard your data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

5. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your geographic location, you may hold specific legal rights regarding your personal data under regulations such as the CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) or GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). You have the right to request:

• Access: A comprehensive breakdown of the specific personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Immediate rectification of any inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete data.
• Deletion: The permanent erasure of your personal information, subject to certain legal or operational retention requirements.
• Data Portability: The transfer of your data to another service provider in a structured, commonly readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, please submit a formal request via the contact details in Section 9.

BMR Supply uses cookies to elevate your shopping experience. We use the following types:

• Essential E-Commerce Cookies: Necessary for basic site functionality, such as maintaining your shopping cart and secure sessions.
