Privacy Policy

​

Welcome to BioNanoTech's Website Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy outlines the data processing and privacy practices of BioNanoTech LLC.

 

This Privacy Policy outlines BioNanoTech's practices regarding the collection and use of individually identifiable information ("Personal Data") that BioNanoTech collects about you on or via www.BioNanoTech.co and its regional sites, such as www.BioNanoTech.us or www.BNT.bio or www.BioNanoTechAffinity.com  (collectively, the "Site"). This Policy does not apply to other data or processing practices, such as data collected offline or via other web pages (which may have their own privacy statements).

If and when our Privacy Policy changes in any material or substantive way (such as any new uses of your Personal Data), the revised Privacy Policy will be posted on this Site and the Effective Date will be updated.

​

1. We May Collect Personal Data When You Browse the Site

When you visit the Site, we use cookies and similar technologies to store your preferences, to alert you to new areas that we think might be of interest to you, and to record past activity at the Site in order to provide better service. We also use cookies and similar technologies to store your country selection so that when you revisit the Site, the cookie or similar technologies recognize your country and you do not need to select it again. You must enable cookies and similar technologies in your browser settings to use the Site. Cookies are small data files that our servers place on your computer's hard drive via your internet browser. Cookies and similar technologies will collect and process your IP address and domain name. Information provided by cookies or similar technologies can be read or modified afterwards only by BioNanoTech during your subsequent visits to our Site. You may configure your browser to notify you when it is about to place a cookie or similar technologies on your machine and you can then decide if you want to accept the cookie and similar technologies or not. The exact procedure will vary from browser to browser. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies or similar technologies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie or similar technology, or how to disable them altogether. However, if you choose not to accept cookies, your experience on our site may be diminished. BioNanoTech generally stores cookies and similar technologies for 1-2 years after your last visit to the Site.

​

2. We Collect Personal Data When You Complete Online Forms

​

4. Categories of Recipients to Which Your Personal Data May Be Transmitted

Your Personal Data is held in confidence and never provided to any organization outside of the BioNanoTech group except as noted in this Privacy Policy.

We may provide Personal Data to third parties in connection with fulfilling or processing your specific requests. For example, if you purchase products online using a credit card, we will contact that credit card company or its third-party service provider to process the order, and we will use a third-party shipping company to ship your order or other requested items such as our print catalog or literature. To enhance security, your credit card number is encrypted as it is transmitted over the Internet.

We do not provide Personal Data that you supply to us to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may provide Personal Data on a reasonable need-to-know basis to third parties bound by nondisclosure obligations. These third parties may be assisting us with the maintenance, protection, or operation of our Site and may work in connection with website, market, or business analysis conducted on our behalf for our use only. We may also provide Personal Data to third parties, who are bound by nondisclosure obligations, assisting us with marketing functions and data management. Any changes in these categories of recipients will be made only after the notification process set forth in the beginning of this Privacy Policy.

We may share Personal Data with law enforcement or other entities as required or permitted by law. Personal Data may also be disclosed to third parties, who are bound by nondisclosure obligations, in connection with a BioNanoTech merger, acquisition, or sale.

We may monitor internally, or using third-party tools, how a user accesses or navigates the Site by tracking IP addresses or other "click stream data". In order to improve this Site and our service to you, we currently use Adobe Analytics and Google Analytics to track Site usage. These products enable us to evaluate Site traffic and navigation data so that we can, for instance, see which pages of our Site are visited frequently, and which are not. 

 

We may also use or provide nonidentifiable data to third parties in order to perform market or business analysis, on our behalf and for our internal use. This ultimately helps us to improve our services to you.

If you choose to register at our Site, you must provide your consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy, and therefore, to BioNanoTech's disclosure of your Personal Data to the third parties, for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. BioNanoTech uses and discloses information only in connection with legitimate business purposes.

​

5. Transfer to Recipients Outside of Your Home Country

Some of our subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, or recipients outlined above are located or operate outside of your home country, and therefore, we may need to transfer your Personal Data outside of your home country for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. The data protection laws in these countries may not provide an equivalent level of protection to those in your home country, but the recipients will abide by this Privacy Policy, as well as any other applicable laws. In addition, all recipients of your Personal Data will adhere to an adequate level of security as required by the laws of your home country. If you choose to register at our Site, you must provide your consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy, including this paragraph.

​

6. Personal Data Storage

The Personal Data you provide to us is retained for the term reasonably necessary to process your requests as described herein; however, we may need to retain archival copies of Personal Data as required by applicable laws. In such cases, your Personal Data will be stored in a readable format only, so that no further processing activities may be conducted.
