In addition, we may gather such information for the following reasons: (1) internal record keeping, (2) to improve our Programs, Products and Services, (3) to periodically send promotions about new Programs, Products or Services or other special offers from which you may unsubscribe at any time, (4) for aggregate, non-identifiable data for research purposes, and/or (5) to customize the respective Programs, Products or Services you purchase or use according to the data and information provided by you, as appropriate.

Storage. All information is stored through a data management system. This information can only be accessed by those who help manage that information in order to deliver e-mail or otherwise contact those who would like to receive our correspondence. You agree and acknowledge that our Company, including but not limited to our research team, staff, external lab staff, and affiliates, and those who manage the data management system may have access to your personal information.

Confidentiality. All information collected by us, including but not limited to personal identifying information, will be held in confidentiality and will not be disclosed to third parties, except that we may disclose personal information: (1) pursuant to the Terms of Use and the terms of this Privacy Policy, (2) if we are required to do so by law, (3) in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to conform to the edicts of the law, (4) to comply with legal process served on us, our partners, sponsors, investors, or affiliates, (5) to protect and defend our rights or property or those of our users and/or (6) to act as immediately necessary in order to protect the personal safety of our users or the public. We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so.

Viewing by Third Parties. Note that whenever you make your personal information available for viewing by third parties through our Programs, Products or Services, such as on or through our Website or social media, the information you share also can be seen, collected and used by third parties, and therefore, we cannot be responsible for any unauthorized third party use of such information that you voluntarily share online or in any other manner.

How We Use Cookies. A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyze web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular website. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

Like most companies, we use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of our current or future Program, Products or Services.

Passwords

To use certain features of our Programs, Products and Services, you may be issued a unique or group username and password, which you will receive through your registration and/or purchase process which you may be able to change to username and/or password of your choosing. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account, and are responsible for all activities (whether by you or by others) that occur under your password or account.

You are not permitted to share your username and/or password with anyone. If we learn you have shared your username and/or password with another person, we reserve the right to immediately terminate your access to the Program, Product or Service, Website and/or private Facebook group.
It is your responsibility to protect your own password from disclosure to others. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your password or account information. You are responsible for activities that take place using your password(s) and within your account. If you share your password(s) with anyone, they may be able to obtain access to your personal information at your own risk.

You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session.
By using our Programs, Products and Services, you agree to enter true and accurate information as part of the registration, purchase process and otherwise. If you enter a false email address, we have the right to immediately inactivate your account.

We will use our best efforts to keep your password(s) private and will not otherwise share your password(s) without your consent, except as necessary when the law requires it or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary, particularly when disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to others or interfering with our rights or property.
