5.  PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

You may browse many sections of this website without providing any personal information. However, if you choose to register for one of our services (such as online training in the use of our product) or ask us a question or make an inquiry through our Contact Us or our Learn More link or through other means on our website, we must necessarily collect certain information from you. The information we collect will be related to the product or service requested, such as your name and contact details, the nature of the product or service requested, and related information so that we may fulfill your request and respond to you. Currently, GI Scientific does not process orders for our products through our website.  However, you can use our website to express interest in our products, and one of our sales team members will get in touch with you using the contact details that you have provided to us.

Occasionally, GI Scientific may invite you to participate in a survey or poll such as providing feedback on our website site content, services, or products. Your responses will be anonymous unless you choose to provide your contact details so that we can provide you with additional information regarding the survey.

GI Scientific will own any feedback that you provide to us through our website or otherwise.

6. HOW WE USE AND SHARE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

GI Scientific may share your information within its affiliates, subsidiaries, and related companies as well as with third parties that assist us in providing the products or services that you requested or improving our marketing or administration. This includes companies that provide analytics to us about use of our website, so that we can evaluate the use of our website and continue to improve our website content.

To the extent that your data is transferred outside of the U.S.A., such as to GI Scientific subsidiaries in other countries, please note that there may be different legal standards that apply to how your data may be used and protected. GI Scientific takes reasonable steps to ensure that your data is adequately safeguarded and protected irrespective of the country. This includes obtaining written assurances from any third party given access to your data so as to require them to adopt standards that ensure an equivalent level of protection for your data as that adopted by GI Scientific.

We may share your personal information with our service providers, but GI Scientific does not share or sell any personal information that you provide to us through our website to third parties for their own use.

From time to time, we will provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, online traffic patterns and related information to reputable third parties who help us improve our business and services, but these statistics do not include any personal identifying information.

In the event that we sell, assign or transfer all or part of the GI Scientific business, we may transfer your personal information to the buyer. However, the buyer, assignee, or transferee will be required to safeguard your personal information in a manner that is consistent with the requirements in this Privacy Policy.

We disclose information that we, in good faith, believe is appropriate to cooperate in investigations of fraud or other illegal activity, or to conduct investigations of violations of our Terms of Use. 

7.  SAFEGUARDING SHARED INFORMATION

Consistent with applicable laws and requirements, GI Scientific has put in place physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, alteration, theft, unauthorized access, or unauthorized disclosure. We evaluate these safeguards on an ongoing basis to help minimize risks from new security threats as they become known. However, as is the case with all websites, we unfortunately are not able to guarantee 100% security for data collected through our website.

We don’t require our website users to provide any sensitive personal information to us (such as health information).  If you decide to provide any sensitive personal information to us through our website, please be aware that transmission of information via the Internet may not be secure, and you are transmitting your information at your own risk.

8.  UPDATE, MODIFY OR CORRECT YOUR INFORMATION

GI Scientific takes reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data is accurate and up-to-date for the purposes for which it was collected. We encourage you to contact us to update or correct your information if it changes or if you believe that any information that we have collected about you is inaccurate. Consistent with legal requirements and limitations, GI Scientific also permits you to obtain a copy of personal information that we hold about you. To do so, please write to us at GIS@giscientific.com. Please note that we will likely require additional information from you in order to honor the request and we may charge a modest fee to cover our costs of providing the information to you.  We will also delete your personal information at your request, unless we have a valid business or legal reason not to do so and our decision not to delete your personal information is consistent with applicable law.

9.  LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

Our website may contain links to other websites that are not owned or operated by GI Scientific. You should carefully review the privacy policies and practices of other websites, as we cannot control and are not responsible for privacy policies or practices of third-party websites that are not ours.

10.  CHILDREN

Our website and our app are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal or other information from children under 13.  Simply put, GI Scientific does not permit children users under the age of 13 to use our website to create accounts, or to perform any other type of activity.

As we continue to provide additional services and as privacy laws and regulations evolve, it may be necessary to revise or update this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy from time to time, as you return to our website, so that you are familiar with any changes.
