Policy.

outside of the countries above (including

we will protect your information in

How we collect
information about you
Personally identifying information.
When you register via this Site,
you will be asked to provide personally
identifying contact information (e.g.,
name, organization, address, phone number,
e-mail address, fax number, and so on)
and other information. On this Site,
for example, we may collect and retain
personally identifying and other
information from you in a number of
ways, such as when you place an order,
request e-mail updates or other information,
complete customer surveys, submit a
feedback or contact form, or provide
a resume. Information about
particular transactions, such as product
purchases over the website, is maintained
in our databases in the same or similar
manner as such information is maintained
for transactions which are done by telephone,
fax, etc. If any third parties,
including any companies owned by BiOBiZ,
provide information to us about you,
we may combine that information with
other information we have about you,
and if and to the extent we do, we will
treat such combined information in accordance
with this Privacy Policy.
E-mail address. Your e-mail
address is used to raise and respond
to issues and inquiries of all types
and to keep in contact with you generally.
It is also used to distribute information
about us and market our products and
services as described herein.
Use of cookies and website data.
This Site collects various information
from you in the course of your navigation
of the Site, such as the URL of the
site you just came from, the browser
version you use, your Internet Protocol
(IP) address, IP ports, date/time of
access, size of data transferred, pages
you visit, and other "click-stream"
data. We are typically not able to relate
such data to you as an individual if
you merely browse our Site and do not
disclose your identity to us, e.g.,
in connection with a registration. We
also use "cookies" to enhance
your Site visit. A "cookie" is information
either temporarily or permanently stored
in a file on your computer. You can
set your internet browser to reject
cookies (refer to your internet browser
instructions if you wish to do so),
but that may limit your use of some
convenience features at this Site.
How we use
information about you
We use information collected by click-stream
data collection and cookies to store
your preferences, improve web site navigation,
make personalized features and other
services available to you, compile and
analyze aggregate statistics and trends,
and otherwise help administer and improve
the Site. Where you provide registration
information, cookies can also be used
to identify you when you log onto the
Site or portions of the Site.
Except as otherwise stated, we may
use information we collect from you
and others to respond to your request,
improve the content, services, and products
that we provide, customize this Site
to your preferences, communicate information
to you (where you have not expressed
a preference otherwise), for our marketing
and research analysis, and for other
purposes identified to you. Some marketing
and research analysis is conducted by
third parties providing data collection
and analysis services under contract
with us, utilizing anonymous data collected
from cookies. As noted above, you can
reject such cookies by following your
browser¡¯s instructions. We reserve
the right to make full use of information
that is not in personally identifiable
form.
From time to time, we use contact
information obtained via this Site to
send e-mail and postal mail supplying
customers with the most recent product
and service information as well as other
information we think may be useful to
you. If you order products or
services via our Site, we may contact
you by e-mail to send you information
about your order (e.g., order confirmations,
shipment notifications, etc.). We may
also contact Site visitors via e-mail
regarding their account status, and
about changes to any relevant agreements
or policies. We sometimes also
use this data to establish a profile
for your company, or collectively for
some or all of our customers, to help
us make business decisions, such as
what kinds of new products we should
be developing. We will also
use it for other internal business purposes
including aggregating information, data
warehousing and mining, cross matching
databases and pooling data for effective
data management, to understand your
needs, improve security of data, for
statistical analysis, devising, deploying
and measuring marketing campaigns and
group wide sharing and for such and
other reasonable business purposes and
operational efficiency improvement.
We may remove information when it becomes
out of date or inaccurate or when properly
requested by you (subject to any legal
duty or requirement we may have to preserve
it).
In connection with our customer rewards
programs and/or other promotions, we
use the information you submit to maintain
your account, measure the benefits for
our business and pursue other legitimate
business purposes as described in this
Privacy Policy and in the terms and
conditions (where applicable) for the
program or promotion.
How we share
your information
Third parties. BiOBiZ does
not provide the personally identifiable
information you supply to us to outside
mailing lists. We may share information
about you with employees, affiliates,
successors, and agents/representatives
(for example, consultants), which are
required to treat the information in
accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Except as specifically described
in this Privacy Policy, we will not,
without your specific prior consent,
sell, trade or transfer your information
to unaffiliated third parties other
than authorized third parties (such
as, for example, contractors supporting
operation of this Site) and others involved
in the e-commerce distribution chain
(e.g., vendors, service providers),
which may need access to some of your
personal information. We oblige
such third parties to comply with our
privacy policy, and limit their access
and use of your personal information.
Mergers/acquisitions. In the
event of any prospective or actual merger,
business or asset sale, divestiture,
other changes in control or financial
status, or re-organization we may share
or transfer personal information with
the other party or parties involved.
We will require the recipient to use
the information in accordance with this
Privacy Policy.
Disclosures required by law.
Occasionally, we may be required by
law enforcement, government contract
administrators, and/or judicial authorities
to provide personally identifiable information
to the appropriate judicial, governmental
or regulatory authorities under applicable
law, regulation or the terms of government
contracts. We will disclose personally
identifiable information upon receipt
of a court order, subpoena, or if required
to co-operate with law enforcement investigations
or government contract compliance reviews.
We reserve the right to report to law
enforcement agencies any activities
that we in good faith believe to be
unlawful to the extent permitted by
law.
How we protect
your information
We take reasonable steps to safeguard
the information you provide to us. For
example, web page elements transmitting
personal or financial information are
encrypted from your client PC to our
servers (which are located in the United
States to the extent data on Canadian
registered website visitors is concerned)
using the standard known as SSL (Secure
Sockets Layer). Beyond the SSL encryption
your data is protected once it reaches
our network through the use of secure
network firewalls. Portions of your
data may also be encrypted on our storage
server for additional security.
Because no system is 100% secure
or error-free despite taking commercially
reasonable steps, BiOBiZ and its affiliates
do not promise, and you should not expect,
that information you provide shall remain
private under all circumstances. It
is your responsibility to safeguard
any passwords, ID numbers, or other
special access features associated with
your use of the Site.
Opting out
If you do not wish to receive certain
communications from us, or our affiliates
or representatives, you may opt out
by: (1) declining the service offered
when registering or at other information
collection points on the Site, or (2)
informing us that you no longer wish
to receive such communications. We will
comply with such requests unless such
communications from us are required
by law or do not require your consent
under applicable laws. If you opt out
of certain communications, you may not
be able to access certain of our products
or services. If you would like to opt-out
of receiving communications from affiliates
or other third parties with whom we
shared data in accordance with this
policy, please contact such third parties
directly.
Access, blocking,
deletion and correction of information
you provide
You may at any time request access
to a summary of your personal information
held by us, and request corrections
or updates to that information. We will
make reasonable efforts to respond promptly
to such requests for information in
accordance with local laws. Our response
to such requests may be limited to information
under our direct control.
Please notify us of any changes in
your name, address, title, telephone
number or e-mail address. You can correct
your personally identifiable information
yourself by accessing your online profile,
or by contacting us to request changes.
You may ask to have the information
on your account deleted or removed;
however, because we keep track of certain
transaction information, such as past
purchases, and other similar information,
for legal compliance purposes, we may
not be able to delete certain information.
If information we hold appears to be
inaccurate we will block its use until
the position is verified to our satisfaction.
If you have any questions relating
to this Privacy Policy or relating to
the transfer of your personal data,
please contact us at your local office.
If you do not agree to this Privacy
Policy, please do not provide us with
your information.
