6. How Do We Store and Protect Your Information?
- After receiving your personal information, we will store it on our Website servers for future use. We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures in place to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage solution can ever be completely secure. As a result, although we take industry-standard steps to protect your information (e.g., strong encryption), we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or receive from us or that we store on our or our service providers’ systems.
- If you are visiting the Website from outside of the USA, you understand that your connection will be through and to servers located in the USA, and the information you provide will be securely stored in our web servers and internal systems located within the USA.
- We store personal information for as long as reasonably required for its purpose. We store your personal information until you request us to remove it from our files. We store our logs and other technical records indefinitely.
7. How Do We Use Cookies And Other Network Technologies?
- To enhance your online experience with us, our web pages may presently or in the future use “cookies.” Cookies are text files that our web server may place on your hard disk to store your preferences. We may use session, first-party and third-party cookies. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other PII unless you choose to provide this information to us. Once you choose to provide PII, however, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, providing you with as much control as you wish as to the decision to accept/reject the cookie, and deletion of the cookie upon leaving our Website. Please note, however, that if your browser does not accept cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of all of the features of our Website.
- We may permit third-party service providers to place cookies in your browser through our Website to provide us with better insights into the use of the Website or user demographics or to provide relevant services to you. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our Website. We do not control the use of third-party cookies or any resulting information, and we are not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties. For example, our Website may use Google Analytics to collect and process data (i.e., to collect anonymized information about how users use our Website, including the number of users visiting the Website, where they came from, and the page or pages they visited). For more information on Google Analytics, please see Google’s Privacy Policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, and Google Analytics help pages at https://support.google.com/analytics/?hl=en#topic=3544906. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Isolatek or our service providers may also use “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs” “embedded links” and other commonly-used information-gathering tools in connection with some Isolatek Website pages and HTML-formatted email messages. We use these tools for such purposes as, among other things, compiling aggregate statistics about website usage and response rates. A pixel tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel (1×1), that is ordinarily not visible to website visitors and may be associated with cookies on visitors’ hard drives. Pixel tags allow us and our service providers to count users who have visited certain pages of the Website, to deliver customized services, and to help determine the effectiveness of our Website. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, pixel tags can inform the sender of the email whether and when the email has been opened.
- As you use the Internet, you leave a trail of electronic information at each website you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as “clickstream data,” can be collected and stored by a website’s server. Clickstream data can reveal the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the Isolatek Website. We may use clickstream data as a form of non-personally identifiable information to determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Website, how visitors navigate through the Website, and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. We will only use this information to improve our Website.
8. Collection of Information by Others
The Website contains certain third party websites to which we may provide links, and that you may click on our Website. Please check the privacy policies of these other websites to learn how they collect, use, store and share information that you may submit to them or that they collect.
9. Children and Young People’s Information
We do not knowingly collect any information from any minors, and we comply with all applicable privacy laws including the GDPR, USA Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and associated Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) rules for collecting personal information from minors. Please see the FTC’s website (www.ftc.gov) for more information. If you have concerns about this Website or its services, wish to find out if your child has accessed our Website or submitted information to us via the Website’s “Contact Isolatek” page, or wish to remove your child’s personal information from our servers, please contact us at co*****@******ek.com
Our Website will not knowingly accept personal information from anyone under 13 years old in violation of applicable laws, without consent of a parent or guardian. In the event that we discover that a child under the age of 13 has provided PII to us without parental consent, we will make efforts to delete the child’s information in accordance with the COPPA. If you believe that your child under 13 has gained access to our Website without your permission, please contact us at co*****@******ek.com

California law allows California residents to request information regarding our disclosures in the prior calendar year, if any, of their PII to third parties. To make such a request, please contact us at co*****@******ek.com with “Request for Privacy Information” in the subject line.

We reserve our right not to respond to requests sent more than once in a calendar year, or requests submitted to an address other than the one posted in this notice. Please note that this law does not cover all information sharing. Our disclosure only includes information covered by the law.
11. Changes to this Policy
Because our business needs may change over time, we reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy. If at any time in the future we plan to use your PII in a way that differs from this Privacy Policy, we will revise this Privacy Policy as appropriate.
