Summary
We
recognize that visitors to our site may be concerned
about the information they provide to us, and how we
treat that information. We
use our best efforts to respect the privacy of its
online visitors. All
information that you provide to us is used solely by the
company or
other entities who are involved in the direct operation
of this site for internal purposes only. Our
customer lists are never sold to third parties.
Welcome
Welcome to centre-biotechnique-avance.com. This site is
owned by Biotechnique Avance, Ltd. This 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 Privacy Policy before using or submitting
information to this site.
Your Consent
By using this site, you agree with the terms of this
Privacy Policy. Whenever you submit information via this
site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure
of that information in accordance with this Privacy
Policy.
About Children
This site is not intended for children under the age of
18. We will not knowingly collect information from site
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 web sites.
Active Information Collection
Like many web sites, this site actively collects
information from its visitors both by asking you
specific questions and by permitting you to communicate
directly with us via E-mail or feedback forms. Some of
the information that you submit may be personally
identifiable information (that is, information that can
be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name,
address, E-mail address, phone number, and so on).
Some areas of this site may require you to submit
information in order for you to benefit from the
specified features (such as newsletter subscriptions,
tips/pointers, order processing) or to participate in a
particular activity (such as sweepstakes or other
promotions). You will be informed at each information
collection point what information is required and what
information is optional.
We use a third party to
manage our our email lists. Our email lists are never
sold or rented, or provided to other companies for their
use. See the
SafeSubscribe privacy policy for more information.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through this site, certain anonymous
information can be passively collected (that is,
gathered without your actively providing the
information) using various technologies, such as
cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational
data collection (log files, server logs, clickstream).
Your Internet browser automatically transmits to this
site some of this anonymous information, such as the URL
of the web site you just came from and the Internet
Protocol (IP) address and the browser version your
computer is currently using. This site may also collect
anonymous information from your computer through cookies
and Internet tags or web beacons. You may set your
browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or to refuse
cookies altogether, but certain features of this site
might not work without cookies.
This site may use and combine such passively collected
anonymous information to provide better service to site
visitors, customize the site based on your preferences,
compile and analyze statistics and trends, and otherwise
administer and improve the site for your use. Such
information is not combined with personally identifiable
information collected elsewhere on the site unless you
have consented. We reserve the right to use third-party
services for the collection and evaluation of data
regarding visits and usage.
For more information about cookies and
other passive tracking methods discussed above, please
refer to the following:
A "cookie" is a bit of information that a
Web site sends to your Web browser that helps the site remember
information about you and your preferences.
"Session" cookies are temporary bits of information that
are used to improve navigation, block visitors from
providing information where inappropriate (the site
"remembers" previous entries of age or country of origin
that were outside the specified parameters and blocks
subsequent changes), and collect aggregate statistical
information on the site. They are erased once you exit
your Web browser or otherwise turn off your computer.
"Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of
information that are placed on the hard drive of your
computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie.
Persistent cookies store information on your computer
for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain
information you have previously provided (such as
passwords), helping to determine what areas of the Web
site visitors find most valuable, and customizing the
Web site based on your preferences on an ongoing basis.
Persistent cookies placed by this site on your computer
may hold personally identifiable information, but only
if you have registered or have otherwise consented to
the retention of personally identifiable information you
have provided at the site. Otherwise, our site's server
only knows that an unidentified visitor with your cookie
has returned to the site.
You can set your browser to accept all cookies, to
reject all cookies, or to notify you whenever a cookie
is offered so that you can decide each time whether to
accept it. To learn more about cookies and how to
specify your preferences, please search for "cookie" in
the "Help" portion of your browser.
A site may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP
address is a number assigned to your computer by your
Internet service provider so you can access the Internet
and is generally considered to be non-personally
identifiable information, because in most cases an IP
address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to
the Internet), rather than static (unique to a
particular user's computer). The IP address can be used
to diagnose problems with a server, report aggregate
information, determine the fastest route for your
computer to use in connecting to a site, and administer
and improve the site.
"Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear
GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than
cookies and tell the Web site server information such as
the IP address and browser type related to the visitor's
computer. Tags may be placed both on online
advertisements that bring people to the site and on
different pages of the site. Such tags indicate how many
times a page is opened and which information is
consulted.
"Navigational data" (log files, server logs, and
clickstream data) are used for system management, to
improve the content of the site, market research
purposes, and to communicate information to visitors.
Third Party Cookies
Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to
serve ads through their network of websites. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to
serve ads to your users based on their visit to this and other sites
on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by
visiting Google's ad and
content network privacy policy.
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 Privacy Policy. In addition, we may make full use
of all information acquired through this site that is
not in personally identifiable form.
If you provide personally identifiable information to
this site, we may combine such information with other
actively collected information unless we specify
otherwise at the point of collection. We may disclose
personally identifiable information you provide via this
site to our affiliates worldwide
that agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy
Policy and use it for the same purposes. We also may
disclose personally identifiable information you provide
via this site to third parties that are not Biotechnique
Avance affiliates, but only:
I. To contractors we use to support our business (such
as 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 Privacy Policy and use it for the
same purposes.
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
Privacy Policy and use it for the same purposes, or
III. To respond to law enforcement requests or where
required by applicable laws, court orders, or government
regulations.
The collection, use and disclosure of information
contemplated in this Privacy Policy may involve a
transfer of the information to jurisdictions located
outside your country of residence that may not have
equivalent laws and rules regarding personally
identifiable information. In these cases, you will be
asked to consent to such transfers and disclosures in
accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Security
This site takes reasonable steps to protect personally
identifiable information as you transmit it to our site
and to protect such information from loss, misuse, and
unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or
destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet
transmission is ever completely secure or error-free. In
particular, e-mail sent to or from this site may not be
secure.
Links to Other Web Sites
This site may contain links or references to other web
sites. Please be aware that we do not control other web
sites and that, in any case, this Privacy Policy does
not apply to those web sites. We encourage you to read
the privacy policy of every web site you visit.
