SciCell’s Privacy Philosophy
SciCell s.r.o. (next “SciCell”) is committed to maintaining your confidence and trust with respect to the information we collect from you on web sites owned and operated by SciCell (“SciCell Web Sites”). This Privacy Policy sets forth the information we collect about you, how we use this information, and the choices you have about how we use such information.
Cookies
Like most web sites, SciCell collects information regarding your use of the SciCell Web Sites through the use of cookies. Cookies are anonymous, unique alphanumeric identifiers sent to your browser from a website’s computers and stored on your computer. The type of information we collect as a result of a cookie being stored on your computer includes the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform; and click stream data, including date and time, cookie number and content you viewed or searched for on the SciCell Web Sites.
We collect and use, and may from time to time supply third parties with, non-personally identifiable information as anonymous, aggregated user data for the purposes of site usage analysis, quality control and improving the SciCell Web Sites. We use temporary “session” cookies to maintain information we need to have in order for you to view articles and browse from page to page. We use “persistent” cookies to give you a more personalized browsing experience and to help you navigate the Site more efficiently. In all cases in which cookies are used, the cookie will not collect personally identifiable information except with your explicit permission. You can prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or disable cookies altogether by accessing your browser’s preferences menu.
SciCell Web Sites may contain links to other web sites that are beyond our control. In the event you choose to access such web sites, SciCell is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties. We recommend that you check the applicable privacy policy of such party before submitting any information to them.
Collection and Use of Information
We sometimes request users of the SciCell Web Sites to provide personally identifiable information. The information collected from a user is strictly voluntary. In order to access certain content and to make use of the advanced personalization features of the SciCell Web Sites, you must register and obtain a personal User Name and Password. If you register, you may be asked for your contact information, such as your name, e-mail address, postal address, and country of residence (“Personal Information”). Personal Information can only be retrieved by supplying the correct User Name and Password that is linked to your profile.
The SciCell Web Sites may provide you with comment boards and/or other opportunities to post information and interact with other users. In the event you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information using such services, that information, along with any substantive information disclosed in your communication or post, can be collected, correlated and used by third parties. This may result in unsolicited messages from third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of SciCell. SciCell does not monitor or review the contents of any comment board message or other interactive posting option available through the SciCell Web Sites.
How Personal Information Is Used
We use the Personal Information that you provide for completion and support of the activity for which the information was provided, such as allowing access to or delivery of our products or services or responding to your requests or inquiries.
We also may use the Personal Information for SciCell Web Sites and system administration, such as for the technical support of SciCell Web Sites and their computer system, including processing computer account information, information used in the course of securing and maintaining SciCell Web Sites, and verification of SciCell Web Sites activity by SciCell Web Sites or their agents; tailoring or customizing content or design of SciCell Web Sites during a single visit to an SciCell Web Site and individualized personalization of SciCell Web Sites on repeat visits; research and development to enhance, evaluate and improve SciCell Web Sites and our services; analysis to create a profile used to determine the habits, interests or other characteristics of users for purposes of research, analysis and anonymous reporting, and communicating with you about changes or updates to SciCell Web Sites or, with your consent, special offers or promotions.
