Privacy Statement
Our Commitment to Privacy
Excite Medical intends to give you as much control as possible over your personal information. We are committed to protecting your personal privacy. We provide this privacy policy to explain the type of information we collect on our web site, www.excitemedical.com. This policy also explains the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.
The Information We Collect
This policy applies to all information submitted on this Web site. In general, you can visit www.excitemedical.com. without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. There are times, however, when we may need information from you (such as your name and address) to be able to provide you with the information, service or product you have requested. We do keep track of the domains from which people visit our site. We analyze this data for trends and statistics about site traffic. We also may use your IP address to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information.
We, or one of our business partners, may from time to time also ask for other personal information via the Internet. We may use this information to correspond with you regarding a request for information from our site.
The Way We Use Information
The www.excitemedical.com Web site provides you with the opportunity to request additional information regarding one or more of our products or services through our Request Contact from Sales form. We use the email address entered in the form to answer your request and may use the same address to send you other information.
We use the information that you provide (individual and aggregate) to better design our Web site and to enhance our marketing strategy and our products. One method through which this Web site collects aggregate information is the collection of IP addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers, the computers that “serve up” Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a page from this Web site, our servers log your IP address. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, so although your session will be logged, you will remain anonymous to us. To the extent such information is shared with third parties, please see “Our Privacy Practices with Third Parties,” below.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are files or pieces of information that may be stored in your computer’s hard drive when you visit a Web site. We use cookies to better tailor our site and our products/services to your interests and needs. Cookies may also be used to help speed up your future activities or to improve your user experience by remembering the information that you have already provided to us. We do not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not voluntarily provided by you (i.e., during the sales information request process). The use of cookies is an industry standard and you will find them at most Web sites. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you would prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent so that you can flush them from your browser if you object to their presence.
Our Privacy Practices with Third Parties
Occasionally, we may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable information about our users with our business and alliance partners. Other than our business and alliance partners, we do not provide personally identifiable information to any third party for any purpose whatsoever.
One of our business partners may from time to time also ask for other personal information via the Internet. They may use this information to correspond with you or for other purposes to support your request or their own business interests. If you wish to opt-out of receiving future email or mailings from third party vendors, please contact them directly.
Links to Other Sites
Users should be aware that when you are on this Web site you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There may be links to other sites that take you outside our service; for example, links to business/alliance partners and trade show companies. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, or otherwise collect data or solicit personal information. If the Excite Medical Web site links you to any third-party Web site, we make no representation or warranty as to the existence, sufficiency, accuracy or completeness of their privacy policy.
Our Commitment to Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to keep your personal information secure. We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect. We cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online, and you do so at your own risk.
Safe Harbor
Excite Medical abides by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We will occasionally update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our services and customer feedback. We encourage you to periodically review this policy to be informed of how Excite Medical is protecting your information.
