General Biotics LLC (“General Biotics”) operates several websites including generalbiotics.com. It is General Biotics’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Like most website operators, General Biotics collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. General Biotics’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how General Biotics’s visitors use its website. From time to time, General Biotics may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
General Biotics also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for users making purchases from General Biotics’s websites. General Biotics only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that purchaser IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to our shipping and support staff.
Certain visitors to General Biotics’s websites choose to interact with General Biotics in ways that require General Biotics to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that General Biotics gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who purchase products to provide their email address. Those who engage in transactions with General Biotics – by purchasing a product, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, General Biotics collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with General Biotics. General Biotics does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
General Biotics may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. General Biotics may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, General Biotics does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
General Biotics discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on General Biotics’s behalf or to provide products and services available at General Biotics’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using General Biotics’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. General Biotics will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, General Biotics discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when General Biotics believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of General Biotics, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an General Biotics website and have supplied your email address, General Biotics may occasionally send you an email to tell you about research, products, news, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with General Biotics and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. General Biotics takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. General Biotics uses cookies to help General Biotics identify and track visitors, their usage of General Biotics’s websites, and their website access preferences. General Biotics visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using General Biotics’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of General Biotics’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
If General Biotics, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that General Biotics goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of General Biotics may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
