PRIVACY POLICY
Effective: 1 November 2013
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to the web site owned and operated by Lifecom, Inc., an Oregon corporation doing business as AkēLex (“AkēLex” “we” or “us”), located at www.akelex.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you how we collect and use personally identifying information (“PII”) (as defined below) so you can make an informed decision about using our Site. PLEASE READ THIS STATEMENT BEFORE USING OUR SITE OR SUBMITTING ANY PII TO US THROUGH THE SITE.
We reserve the right to change the provisions of this Privacy Policy at any time by posting a revised privacy policy on the Site and indicating on the revised privacy policy the date it was last updated. Your use of the Site following the posting of such changes or revised statement shall constitute your acceptance of any such changes.
We encourage you to review our privacy policy whenever you visit our Site to determine if any changes have been made and to make sure that you understand how any PII you provide will be used.
WHAT IS “PII”?
As used herein, the term “PII” generally means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as user’s name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card, or other account number or geophysical location) or that is associated with an identifiable person (such as demographic information or information about a person’s activities when such information is linked to personally identifying information). PII does not include “aggregate” information, which is data we collect about the use of the Site or categories of users, from which any PII has been removed. For example, information that forty-seven percent of the registered users identify themselves as male, is aggregate information. We collect aggregate data for a number of purposes, including to help us understand trends and user needs. This policy in no way limits or restricts our collection of aggregate information.
WHAT PII DO WE COLLECT?
We do not collect any PII from mere visitors to the Site. Your email address and any additional personally identifying information may be collected when you send us an email or submit it in our this website.
WHAT OTHER INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
We may use third parties to provide certain functionalities or to collect, track, and analyze non-personally identifiable usage and statistical information from users, such as the user’s browser type, operating system, browsing behavior, and demographic information. AkēLex prohibits any third party from using your PII for any reason other than providing the services for which they are contacted. If, however, you interact with such third parties directly, you should review their privacy policy. These third parties may collect personal information from you in connection with the services they offer. We are not responsible for, and do not control, any actions or policies of any third party service providers.
USAGE AND DISCLOSURE
Information gathered from this Site be used in the following way:
Email address and additional personally identifying information: The email address and additional personally identifying information you provide will be used for the purpose for which you provided it, namely responding to emails and/or providing information.
AkēLex does not sell, share, or rent any PII to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this Privacy Policy without first obtaining your consent, although we may provide aggregate information or other non-personal information to third parties without your authorization. In the event that we engage or partner with third party vendors, consultants, or other service providers in connection with the operation of our business (“Service Providers”), we may share personal information with such Service Providers who need access to such information to carry out their work for us.
We also may disclose personal information when we are required to or we believe it is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena, warrant, or court order); to enforce or apply this Privacy Policy or our other policies or agreements; to protect our or our customers’ rights, property, or safety; to protect our customers from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of the Site; or if we believe that an emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications or justifies disclosure of personal information. In addition, information about our customers, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of AkēLex assets, as well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which personally identifiable information could be transferred to third parties as one of the business assets of the AkēLex.
Please note: The Site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site and to read the privacy policies of any web site or service that collects personally identifiable information. Similarly, if you entered this Site through another web site, we are also not responsible for the privacy practices of that site, and you should review the privacy policy of the originating site before providing any personal information to that site. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us.
WHAT STEPS DO WE TAKE TO PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION ONLINE?
Akēlex endeavors to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure by putting into place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect through this Site. Please be aware, however, that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
