Information We Collect

We collect two types of information from users of our Website: “Personal Information,” which is information that you provide that can be used to identify you (such as your name or your email address), and “Aggregate Information,” which is information that cannot be used to identify you (such as frequency of visits to the Website and your browser type).

INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO US. We collect Personal Information that you voluntarily provide to us when you use our Website.  For example, you may provide us with your contact information such as your email address, first and last name, the content of your communication, or other Personal Information when you choose to submit such information to us through email, an online form, or other method (such as contacting us through the chat feature on our Website).   If you interact with us on social media, we may collect your social media profile information, your communications with us, and your communications and posts on our social media pages. 

If you sign up for our newsletter or mailing list, we collect the information you submit and you are signing up to receive marketing and other communications from us.

INFORMATION WE AUTOMATICALLY COLLECT.  When you use our Website, we automatically receive and collect information from your device.  This information includes the following:

• Information about your device, such as the operating system, hardware, system version, Internet Protocol (IP) address, device ID, and device language.
• The specific actions that you take when you use our Website, including but not limited to the pages and screens that you view or visit, search terms that you enter, and how you interact with our Website.

AGGREGATE INFORMATION COLLECTED. Aggregate Information is information that does not identify you.  Aggregate Information may be collected when you use our Website, independent of any information you voluntarily enter. Additionally, we may use one or more processes to de-identify information that contains Personal Information, such that only Aggregate Information remains.  We may collect, use, store, and transfer Aggregate Information without restriction.

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 setting may prevent you from taking full advantage of the Website.

We may use third party analytics tools to analyze traffic to our website. These tools do not create individual profiles for visitors and only collects aggregate data.

We may work with a third party to collect and process this information for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy.

Although we do our best to honor the privacy preferences of our visitors, we are not able to respond to Do Not Track signals from your browser.

INTEREST-BASED ADVERSITING. We may also participate in interest-based advertising using similar technology.  This means that you may see advertising on our website tailored to how you browse, or you may see advertising for Boyd Biomedical on other websites based on your browsing behavior across websites.  Some websites where we may advertise belong to ad networks that use your web browsing history to choose which ads to display on their network websites; these ads include advertising for Boyd Biomedical and its products and services.  Other websites where you see our ads may use interest preferences that you have chosen on those sites, as well as registration and other information about you, to choose which ads to display to you. Some internet browsers, websites, and mobile devices offer opt-outs for interest-based advertising. Please refer to the website that you are visiting, your browser and/or your device settings for additional information.
