GENERAL PRIVACY POLICY


Your privacy is important to NeuroTrace® and have developed a Privacy Policy that covers how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your information. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices and let us know if you have any questions.

Collection and Use of Personal Information

Personal information is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a single person.

You may be asked to provide your personal information anytime you are in contact with NeuroTrace® or an NeuroTrace® affiliated company. NeuroTrace® and its affiliates may share this personal information with each other and use it consistent with this Privacy Policy. They may also combine it with other information to provide and improve our products, SOFTWARE, content, and advertising.

Here are some examples of the types of personal information NeuroTrace® may collect and how we may use it.

What personal information we collect

When you create an NeuroTrace® ID, register your products, apply for commercial credit, purchase a product, download a SOFTWARE update, register for a class at an NeuroTrace® Affiliate Universities, or participate in an online survey, we may collect a variety of information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, contact preferences, and credit card information.

When you share your content with colleagues using NeuroTrace® products, send gift certificates and products, or invite others to join you on NeuroTrace® forums, NeuroTrace® may collect the information you provide about those people such as name, mailing address, email address, and phone number.

In the U.S., we may ask for your Social Security number (SSN) but only in limited circumstances such as when determining whether to extend commercial credit.

How we use your personal information

The personal information we collect allows us to keep you posted on NeuroTrace®’s latest product announcements, SOFTWARE updates, and upcoming events. It also helps us to improve our SOFTWARE, content, and advertising. If you don’t want to be on our mailing list, you can opt out anytime by updating your preferences.

We also use personal information to help us develop, deliver, and improve our products, SOFTWARE, content, and advertising.

From time to time, we may use your personal information to send important notices, such as communications about purchases and changes to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to your interaction with NeuroTrace® , you may not opt out of receiving these communications.

We may also use personal information for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve NeuroTrace® ’s products, SOFTWARE, and customer communications.

If you enter into a sweepstake, contest, or similar promotion we may use the information you provide to administer those programs.

Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information

We also collect non-personal information - data in a form that does not permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. The following are some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:

We may collect information such as occupation, language, zip code, area code, unique device identifier, location, and the time zone where an NeuroTrace® product is used so that we can better understand customer behavior and improve our products, SOFTWARE, and advertising.

We also may collect information regarding customer activities on our website, and from our other products and SOFTWARE. This information is aggregated and used to help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of our website, products, and SOFTWARE are of most interest. Aggregated data is considered non-personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.

Cookies and Other Technologies

NeuroTrace® ’s website, online SOFTWARE, interactive applications, email messages, and advertisements may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. These technologies help us better understand user behavior, tell us which parts of our website people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. We treat information collected by cookies
and other technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

NeuroTrace® and its partners use cookies and other technologies in mobile advertising SOFTWARE to control the number of times you see a given ad, deliver ads that relate to your interests, and measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns. If you do not want to receive ads with this level of relevance on your mobile device, you can opt out by email: info@medeia.com . This opt-out applies only to NeuroTrace® advertising SOFTWARE and does not affect interest-based advertising from other advertising networks.

NeuroTrace® and our partners also use cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use our website, online SOFTWARE, and applications. Our goal in these cases is to make your experience with NeuroTrace® more convenient and personal. For example, knowing your first name lets us welcome you the next time you visit the NeuroTrace® website. Knowing your country and language - and if you are an educator, your school - helps us provide a customized and more useful experience. Knowing someone using your computer or device has shopped for a certain product or used a particular SOFTWARE helps us make our advertising and email communications more relevant to your interests. And knowing your contact information, product serial numbers, and information about your computer or device helps us register your products, personalize your operating system, set up your SOFTWARE, and provide you with better customer support.

If you want to disable cookies and you’re using your web browser, check with your provider to find out how to disable cookies. Please note that certain features of the NeuroTrace® website will not be available once cookies are disabled.

As is true of most websites, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, Internet SOFTWARE provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behavior on the site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. NeuroTrace® may use this information in our marketing and advertising SOFTWARE.

In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the NeuroTrace® website. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.

Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.

Disclosure to Third Parties

At times NeuroTrace® may make certain personal information available to strategic partners that work with NeuroTrace® to provide products and SOFTWARE, or that help NeuroTrace® market to customers. For example, when you purchase and activate your SOFTWARE you authorize NeuroTrace® to exchange the information you provide during the activation process to carry out SOFTWARE REGISTRATION PROCESS. If you are approved for SOFTWARE, your USER PROFILE will be governed by NeuroTrace® and its respective privacy policies. Personal information will only be shared by NeuroTrace® to provide or improve our products, SOFTWARE and advertising; it will not be shared with third parties for their marketing purposes.

SOFTWARE Providers

NeuroTrace® shares personal information with companies who provide SOFTWARE such as information processing, extending credit, fulfilling customer orders, delivering products to you, managing and enhancing customer data, providing customer SOFTWARE, assessing your interest in our products and SOFTWARE, and conducting customer research or satisfaction surveys. These companies are obligated to protect your information and may be located wherever NeuroTrace® operates.

Others

It may be necessary - by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence - for NeuroTrace® to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.

We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or users. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.

Protection of Personal Information

NeuroTrace® takes precautions — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

NeuroTrace® SOFTWARE uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is collected.

When you use some NeuroTrace® products, SOFTWARE, or applications or post on an NeuroTrace® forum, chat room, or social networking site, the personal information you share is visible to other users and can be read, collected, or used by them. You are responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these instances. For example, if you list your name and email address in a forum posting, that information is public. Please take care when using these features.

Integrity and Retention of Personal Information

NeuroTrace® makes it easy for you to keep your personal information accurate, complete, and up to date. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Access to Personal Information

We make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your data so you can request that we correct the data if it is inaccurate or delete the data if NeuroTrace® is not required to retain it by law or for legitimate business purposes. We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required by local law.

Location-Based SOFTWARE

To provide location-based SOFTWARE on NeuroTrace® products, NeuroTrace® and our partners and licensees may collect, use, and share precise location data, including the real-time geographic location of your NeuroTrace® computer or device. This location data is collected anonymously in a form that does not personally identify you and is used by NeuroTrace® and our partners and licensees to provide and improve location-based products and SOFTWARE.

Third-Party Sites and SOFTWARE

NeuroTrace® websites, products, applications, and SOFTWARE may contain links to third-party websites, products, and SOFTWARE. Our products and SOFTWARE may also use or offer products or SOFTWARE from third parties. Information collected by third parties, which may include such things as location data or contact details, is governed by their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy practices of those third parties.

International Users

Information you provide may be transferred or accessed by entities around the world as described in this Privacy Policy. NeuroTrace® abides by the “safe harbor” frameworks set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information collected by organizations in the European Economic Area and Switzerland. Learn more about the U.S. Department of Commerce Safe Harbor Program.

Our Companywide Commitment to Your Privacy

To make sure your personal information is secure, we communicate our privacy and security guidelines to
NeuroTrace® employees and strictly enforce privacy safeguards within the company.

Privacy Questions

If you have any questions or concerns about NeuroTrace® ’s Privacy Policy or data processing, please contact us.

NeuroTrace® may update its Privacy Policy from time to time. When we change the policy in a material way, a notice will be posted on our website along with the updated Privacy Policy.

Information is classified into one of three categories, and each classification requires appropriate levels of security controls (e.g., encryption of data classified as secret or confidential).

Medeia Inc Security Policy further requires that security measures for processing and storage of information be proportionate to classification level, and each user is to be uniquely identifiable, via personal user identification.

Access controls exist to restrict access to systems and data to management authorized individuals for valid business purposes only.
