BioTechEngUNL is committed to maintaining the privacy and security of the personal information of all visitors to our pages, photos, and other data repositories. We are also committed to complying with all laws applicable to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information.
Please read this privacy policy – it governs our use of your personal information and by submitting any such information and use of our systems, you are agreeing to its terms.
Privacy Policy Updates
BioTechEngUNL reserves the right to change this policy at any time, based on the needs of our customers and partners, our business or the evolution of our data platforms. Please check the date at the bottom of the document to see when the policy was last revised. Use of the BioTechEngUNL web-site and data by our visitors will be subject to the current Privacy Policy.
The Information We Collect
First, we passively collect information that is automatically sent to us by your web browser. This information typically includes your IP Address, host domain name, a referral address, your computer type, your mail domain name (the website name after the “@” in your e-mail address if supplied). It may also contain additional information. The amount of information sent depends on the settings you have on your web browser; please refer to your browser to learn what information it sends. However, altering some of these settings may preclude your system from being able to access our data.
Second, we may actively obtain usage information about you by installing standard browser “cookies” on your computer. Cookies are computer-generated, unique identifiers. By providing each user a unique identifier, we can recognize repeat visitors and compile data on how our platforms are used. Your computer can be specially configured to reject cookies; please refer to your browser for more information. In the event that we use cookies, our cookies will generate only limited information (as described in this Privacy Policy); they will not, in general, tell us where you go on the Internet for the exception upon entry and leaving BioTechEngUNL.
Third, we collect personally identifiable information that you submit via authenticated User-ID’s and supplied credentials, mail, e-mail, fax, or phone, or if you contact us in forms or general inquiry. If you e-mail us, you are voluntarily releasing information to us. In addition, we may have collected similar information from you in the past. By using BioTechEngUNL and data you are consenting to our continued use of any such information.
How We Use Information
We use the information we automatically receive from your system, and any information that may be generated by our systems, to track your activity, which files you are accessing, if your login/out information details and other navigation areas you visit within our domain. We may also track which website you visited before coming to ours, and which website you visit after you leave. BioTechEngUNL can then develop statistics that are helpful to understanding how our systems are used, and how we can continue to improve them.
Information obtained from you may in the future be used to generate a welcome email or other communication, notify you of updates or outages or provide you with services or information in response to your interests or data that you have provided. We may also use your information in order to better understand your needs and how we can improve our community and site.
Sharing and Disclosure
We contract with third parties to maintain and host our services. We also partner with other service providers in order to provide fulfillment of information requests or other services. These companies may have access to personal information you submit to our platforms, but we contractually require that our partners maintain the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information and limit their ability to re-use or re-disclose it.
We may also use any information you submit to investigate security breaches or cooperate with authorities pursuant to a legal or other matters where we reasonably believe we are required to do so by law, regulation or other government authority. We may also remove all the personally identifiable information and use the rest for historical, statistical or business planning purposes.
We will not sell your information to any other company or organization for any purpose or reason,
Changes or Updates to Your Information
BioTechEngUNL understands that you may wish to change your information or preferences if you have provided to us. If you have registered and provided us with personal information and wish to change any of the information provided to us, you may send us an email to have this information updated.
Security
BioTechEngUNL and its third-party partners use physical and technical security measures to protect the information you access and submit on our systems from unauthorized use or access. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its security.
Additional Information
If and when you submit personal information to BioTechEngUNL, it goes to a US based hosting platform. If you are outside of the United States, by submitting personal information to BioTechEngUNL, you are consenting to send that information to the United States for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. If you are outside of the United States, please note that the United States may have different laws concerning the privacy of personal information than your country of residence.
For your convenience, our platforms may contain hyperlinks to other websites outside of BioTechEngUNL. While we have adopted this Privacy Policy, we can make no promises or guarantees regarding data collection on the hyperlinked pages and websites that are not owned by us. We therefore recommend that you read the privacy policy/statement for each data location you visit.
