Collecting user-identifiable information is a common and often necessary practice for companies or organizations to conduct business and provide services.

General

Upon using the Site, any communication with us, or becoming an authorized user, we may gather the information you provide. This could include your name, email address, and other relevant details required for your interaction with the Site.

Moreover, your use of the Site may lead to the automatic collection of non-user identifiable information, such as your IP address, viewed pages, time spent on the Site, and computer details like browser type, operating system, and platform. Accessing the Site via a mobile device may allow us to identify its location. You can adjust your mobile device’s location services settings to withhold this information. For guidance on altering these settings, reach out to your service provider or device manufacturer.

We utilize and store the above information to facilitate your use of the Site, diagnose server issues, enhance the Site’s effectiveness, and offer content, products, or services that match your interests. As required, we may share this information with third parties such as business partners, suppliers, and vendors. We do not provide user identifiable information to third parties for marketing or contacting you unless explicitly described in this policy or in a separate agreement between you and Genemedics.

Our Internet service providers may employ standard web-based technologies, including analytic solutions, web “beacons,” “pixel tags,” and “clear gifs,” to analyze your Site interactions. These technologies help gauge the effectiveness of our service campaigns, customize Site offerings, and optimize content, products, and services. Some of this information, including IP addresses, may reside on our service provider’s server logs for extended periods.

Except uses critical for Site operation and user engagement, Genemedics will not sell, trade, or disclose your personally identifiable information derived from Site registration or usage without your consent, except under legal processes or if you engage in unlawful activity that violates the Terms.
