INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

When you use the BioPro website, we collect certain information about you automatically through our use of cookies and similar technologies. Our Site may use “cookies,” which are pieces of information a website sends to your computer while you are viewing the website, for a variety of purposes. For example, when you return to our Site after logging in, cookies may provide information to the Site so that the Site will remember who you are. The cookie may be stored on your hard drive. The information that we collect using cookies is non-personal information. We may also use information collected through web beacons, which are small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of websites, to analyze the traffic patterns on our Site, such as the frequency with which our users visit various parts or pages of our website. We may also use these technical methods in HTML e-mails that we send to our users to determine whether our users have opened those e-mails and/or clicked on links in those e-mails.

You may engage in certain transactions without submitting completed inquiry or request forms or emails through our website. In such cases, we may gather personally identifiable information, such as your computer’s IP address.

INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT FROM OTHERS

We may receive certain information about you through our third-party affiliates or partners and from other companies that provide us with such information as a part of their relationship with us. If and when we associate any information that we obtained from third parties with personally identifiable information that we have collected under this Privacy Policy, we will treat the acquired information exactly like the information that we collected ourselves.

INFORMATION ON OTHER WEBSITES

The BioPro website may contain links to third-party owned or operated websites, including, without limitation, social media websites (each a “Linked Site“), as a convenient method of accessing information that may be useful or of interest to you. This Policy and the practices that we follow under this Policy do not apply to Linked Sites. BioPro is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or opinions expressed on any Linked Site or for the privacy practices or security standards used by third parties on such Linked Sites. These Linked Sites have separate privacy and data collection practices, and we have no responsibility or liability relating to them.

Please note that once you have clicked on a link to a Linked Site and have left our Site, our Policy no longer applies, and you must read the privacy policy of the Linked Site to see how your personal information will be handled on the Linked Site

We may manage and place advertisements on our website on behalf of third parties referred to herein as “network advertisers.” We may also use cookies and other technology to collect information when you click on or move your cursor over one of these banner advertisements.

Please note that once you have clicked on any such advertisement and have left our website, our Privacy Policy no longer applies and you must read the privacy policy of the advertiser to see how your personal information will be handled on its website. Advertisers or other third party companies will not have access to our cookies or other information-gathering technology.

The BioPro website may not recognize if your browser sends a “do not track” signal or similar mechanism to indicate you do not wish to be tracked or receive interest-based ads.

HOW IS PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION USED?

We will never rent, sell, disseminate or share personal information about you with non-affiliated companies or third parties, except when we have your permission or under the circumstances set forth in detail below.

Personally identifiable information collected may be shared with contractors, business partners, healthcare professionals and service providers. The information collected may be used by these parties for several purposes including:

To provide, maintain, improve, and enhance our services;
To enable communication between you and a healthcare professional
To help find a healthcare professional;
To help determine if you are a candidate for our products/services;
To send promotional offers and advertisements offered by BioPro or third parties;
To communicate with you, and provide you information about our products/services;
To operate and improve our website or services;
To facilitate transactions and payments;
To find and prevent fraud, and respond to trust and safety issues that may arise.
To generate anonymized, aggregate data containing only de-identified, non-personal information that we may use to publish reports, including for our internal product improvement and sharing with third parties with which we have an agreement;
For other purposes for which we provide specific notice at the time the information is collected; and
To respond to questions or comments pertaining to our website, products or services.

BioPro may also contract with a third party to help manage and optimize our Internet business and communications. Website tracking services help websites to measure the effectiveness of advertising and how visitors use a website through the use of web beacons and cookies provided by such company. The type of information we may collect includes, but is not limited to, the pages visited and links clicked by users. By supplementing our records, this information would help us to learn things such as what pages are most useful and attractive to our visitors and which of our tools and information most interest our visitors. Although the third party company would log the information coming from our website on our behalf, we would control how that data may and may not be used.

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

BioPro may share or disclose your personal information for the following limited purposes:

Healthcare Providers. We share your personal information with healthcare providers to provide you with services related to your diagnosis and treatment.
Vendors and Services Providers. We may provide information to third party vendors and service providers that perform services and functions on our behalf to help us operate and manage our website and deliver services. These vendors and service providers will have access to your personal information in order to provide these services, but when this occurs, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections to limit their use of that information to helping us provide our services and support our interactions with you.
Your Consent to Have Your Personal Information Shared. In addition to the sharing described elsewhere in this Policy, we will share personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of BioPro when we have your consent to do so.
Legal Disclosure. We may access, preserve, and disclose your information if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to: (a) comply with law enforcement requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena, where permitted by applicable law; (b) respond to your requests; (c) protect your, our, or others’ rights, property, or safety, including the safety and security of property that belongs to you, any property that belongs to any professional entity rendering services in relation to the BioPro website, and/or the BioPro website itself; or (d) will help to enforce any of our applicable policies.
Transfer in the Event of Sale or Change of Control. If the ownership of all or substantially all of our business changes, or we otherwise transfer assets relating to our business to a third party, such as by merger, acquisition, bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, we may transfer personal information to the new owner, service providers, advisors, potential transactional partners, or other third parties in connection with the consideration, negotiation, or completion of a corporate transaction. In such a case, unless prohibited by applicable law, your information would remain subject to the privacy policy applicable at the time of such transfer, unless you discontinue use of our website and/or any applicable services. We will inform you of any such changes in ownership. We will also inform you if we sell your personal information to any new owners.
Operational Uses. We may also use your personal information for “Operational Uses,” such as to complete transactions requested by you (for example, your purchase of our Service) or to send you administrative communications.

YOUR CHOICES

You can access and update certain information we have relating to your online account by signing into your account and going to the Account section of our Site. If you have questions about personal information we have about you or need to update your information, you can email us at info@bioproimplants.com.

Location Information. You can prevent your device from sharing precise location information at any time through your device’s operating system settings.

Marketing Communications. You can unsubscribe from our promotional emails via the link provided in the emails. Even if you opt-out of receiving promotional messages from us, you will continue to receive administrative messages from us.

Do Not Track. There is no accepted standard on how to respond to Do Not Track signals, and we do not respond to such signals.

Opt-Out. With regard to personal information that you have provided under this Privacy Policy, you may exercise your opt-out choices available to you (if any and where applicable) by contacting us directly.

Please keep in mind that any opt-out choices you make will not apply in situations where: (a) you either have made, simultaneously make or later make a specific request for information from BioPro’s website; (b) BioPro uses your personal information for “Operational Uses” (as described above); or (c) BioPro collects your personally identifiable information under any of the provisions above.

It may take up to ninety (90) days for your opt-out choices to be fully effective.

Thus, you might continue to receive promotional materials upon the personal information you have provided under this Privacy Policy for up to ninety (90) days.

SECURING YOUR INFORMATION

We use industry standard physical, technical, electronic, and administrative security measures and safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information. For example, we limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs. From time to time, we review our security procedures in order to consider appropriate new technology and methods. Please be advised, however, that while we take reasonable security measures to protect your personal information, we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of your information. BioPro cannot guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will be wholly prevented from improperly collecting, accessing, or modifying your personal information. Accordingly, it is your responsibility to protect the security of your login information, including your username and password. Additionally, please note that emails and other communications you send to us through our website are not encrypted, and we strongly advise you not to communicate any confidential information through these means.

BioPro will only use the information it receives to respond to your request. BioPro will not be able to disclose information if it cannot verify that the person making the Consumer Request is the person about whom we collected information, or someone authorized to act on such person’s behalf.

We will respond to such written requests within thirty (30) days following receipt at the mailing address or e-mail address above. We reserve the right not to respond to requests submitted other than to the e-mail address specified above or as otherwise exempted by law. “Personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. “Personal information” does not include publicly available information.

Request to Access. You may submit a Consumer Request to obtain a copy of or access to the personal information that BioPro has collected on you.

If you would like to know if BioPro has disclosed information about you to specific third parties, you may e-mail us to receive information about the categories of information that we disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
