Welcome to calyptelifesciences.com (the “Site”), which is owned and operated by Calypte Biomedical Corporation. This Privacy Policy explains our practices related to collection, use and dissemination of information that you provide to us through your use of the Site. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any other data use, collection or dissemination practices, such as data collected offline or through websites other than this Site.

Your use of the Site is subject to this Privacy Policy and to the Terms of Use.

What information do we collect?
  • We collect information from you when you register on the Site, place an order, respond to a survey or communication such as e-mail, or participate in other Site features.
  • When ordering or registering, we may ask you for your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information or other information.
  • This Site collects various information from you in the course of your navigation of the Site, such as the URL of the last site you just came from, the browser version you use, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, IP ports, date/time, size of data transferred, pages you visit, and other “clickstream” data.
  • Like many websites, this Site also uses "cookies" to enhance your experience and gather information about visitors and visits to our Site. Please refer to the "Do we use 'cookies'?" section below for information about cookies and how we use them.
How do we use your information?

We may use the information we collect from you when you register, purchase products, respond to a survey or marketing communication, surf the website, or use certain other site features in the following ways:

  • To personalize your site experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content and product offerings in which you are most interested.
  • To allow us to better service you in responding to your customer service requests.
  • To quickly process your transactions.
  • To administer a promotion, survey or other site feature.

If you register with us you will be given a choice whether you would like to be on our e-mail list and receive e-mail communications from us. If you do not opt-in to receive such e-mail communications, you will not receive these e-mails. If you would no longer like to receive e-mails from us, please refer to the "How can you opt-out, remove or modify information you have provided to us?" section below.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you order products or services via our Site, we may contact you by e-mail to send you information about your order (e.g. order confirmations, shipment notifications, etc.). We may also contact Site visitors via e-mail regarding your account status and about changes to any relevant agreements or policies.

We also use information collected from clickstream data and cookies to compile and analyze aggregate statistics and trends, and otherwise help administer and improve the Site. When you provide registration information, cookies may also be used to identify you when return to the Site.

How do we protect visitor information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. When you place orders or access your personal information, we offer the use of a secure server. All sensitive/credit information you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our databases to be only accessed as stated above.

Do we use "cookies"?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to many features that make your site experience more efficient and some of our services will not function properly. However, you can still place orders over the telephone by contacting customer service.

Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice, except as described below. The term "outside parties" does not include Calypte Biomedical Corporation. It also does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our Site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.

We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our Site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

How can you opt-out, remove or modify information you have provided to us?
