This site is owned by BioBehavioral Diagnostics Company (BioBDx). This Online Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may provide via this site. Please be sure to read this entire Online Privacy Policy before using, or submitting information to, this site.
Your Consent
By using this site you agree to the terms of the BioBDx Online Privacy Policy. Whenever you submit information via this site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Online Privacy Policy.
About Children
This site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information via this site from visitors in this age group. We encourage parents to talk to their children about their use of the Internet and the information they disclose to websites.
Information You Provide
Visitors registering for services on this website are asked to provide identifying information, such as name, gender, and contact information. On the registration screen, we clearly label which information is required for registration, and which information is optional and may be given at your discretion. This website obtains visitors' consent before collecting personally identifiable information.
Information We Collect from Visitors
Visitors to this website can access the site's home page, and browse some areas of the site, without disclosing any personally identifiable information. We do track information provided to us by your browser, including the website you came from (known as the referring URL), the type of browser you use, the time and date of access, and other information that does not personally identify you.
In addition, we gather information about you that is automatically collected by our web server, such as your IP address and domain name. BioBDx may use Web server and browser information to individually customize its offerings and presentations if you submit your personal information.
Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Systems
Cookies, log files, and pixel-tags are technologies used by the BioBDx websites to identify a user as the user moves through our websites. Your browser allows us to place some information (session based IDs and/or persistent cookies) on your computer's hard drive that identifies the computer you are using. We may use cookies to personalize our websites and to track your usage across other BioBDx websites.
Your Web browser can be set to allow you to control whether you will accept cookies, reject cookies, or to notify you each time a cookie is sent to you. If your browser is set to reject cookies, websites that are cookie-enabled will not recognize you when you return to the website, and some website functionality may be lost. The Help section of your browser will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies.
On occasion, we contract with third parties to place cookies on your computer's hard drive. These third parties have entered into an agreement with us that requires them to observe our Online Privacy Policy.
Although cookies do not normally contain personally identifiable information, if you have provided us information about you, we may associate your registration information with cookies or other tracking utilities our website places on your computer's hard drive. Associating a cookie with your registration data allows us to offer increased personalization and functionality. Without cookies, this functionality would not be possible.
In addition, we may use other tracking systems like "Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs). Internet tags are similar in function to a cookie. But because of their insignificant size, they are not visible; though, they are used to pass certain information to our servers to personalize our websites and to track your usage across other BioBDx websites. In addition, we may also use Internet tags in our HTML based e-mails.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, we may use your information to improve the content of our site, to customize the site to your preferences, to communicate information to you (if you have requested it), for our marketing and research purposes, and for the purposes specified in this Online Privacy Policy. If you provide personally identifiable information to this site, we may combine such information with other actively and passively collected information.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information to our affiliates that agree to treat it in accordance with this Online Privacy Policy. In addition, we may disclose your personally identifiable information to third parties located in the United States and/or any other country, but only (i) to contractors we use to support our business (e.g., fulfillment services, technical support, delivery services, and financial institutions), in which case we will require such third parties to agree to treat it in accordance with this Online Privacy Policy; (ii) in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of the business of this site to which the information relates, in which case we will require any such buyer to agree to treat it in accordance with this Online Privacy Policy; or (iii) where required by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations. In addition, we will make full use of all information acquired through this site that is not in personally identifiable form.
Access, Correction, and Deletion
To keep personally identifiable information that you provide via this website accurate, current, and complete, please contact us as specified below and we will take appropriate steps to update or correct such information in our possession, or to delete your information from our contact list.
Security
This site takes reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable information as you transmit your information from your computer to our site and to protect such information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Moreover, where you use passwords, ID numbers, or other special access features on this site, it is your responsibility to safeguard them.
