Your privacy is very important to us. We provide this Online Privacy Statement to make you aware of our privacy policy and practices and of the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.
Within our web site, you can order products or services, make requests, and register to receive materials. The types of personal information collected at these pages may include your name, your company name, address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, contact and billing information (including shipping address and end-user), transaction, and/or credit card information.
In order to tailor our subsequent communications to you and continuously improve our products and services, we may also ask you to voluntarily provide us with information regarding the analytical instrumentation in your laboratory, industry, experience with our products, and contact preferences.
When information is collected from you, we generally let you know at the time of collection how we will use it – typically only to respond to your inquiry or to process your request or to better understand your needs and provide you with better service. Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction, to communicate back to you, to update you on services and benefits. Credit card numbers are used only for payment processing and are not retained for other purposes.
However, we may need to share your information with our subsidiaries or with other companies that provide the services and products that you requested. These companies – our vendors – are contractually bound to use personal information we share with them only to perform the services we have hired them to provide. We do not share, sell, or lease personal information about you to any third-parties for their marketing use.
We will not use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the uses described above. We will make every effort to apply local country laws and policies where they differ from those in the United States, if any.
We are committed to ensuring the security of your information. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. For example, we use encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information.
Our web site may contain links to other sites; such as our vendors and sales affiliates. While we try to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices employed by other sites. You are solely responsible for evaluating the privacy practices employed by those sites.
If you have comments or questions about our privacy policy, please contact us by phone, fax or e-mail and someone will respond to you shortly.
Please check this privacy policy periodically to inform yourself of any changes. We reserve the right to modify or supplement this privacy policy from time to time without notice to you.
