Introduction

Applied StemCell (“we”, “our”, or “us”) takes the privacy and security of your personal information seriously. This Privacy and Cookies Policy (“Policy”) applies to our collection and use of personal information through our websites that link to this Policy, including www.appliedstemcell.com (collectively, the “Site” or “Sites”). This Policy does not apply to personal information that we collect offline which are governed by separate policies, term and/or agreements.  

Information we may collect about you

Personal Information 

We may collect and process personal information you provide us, such as name, email, country of residence or postal code and professional credentials when you: 

  • Register to use our Site; 
  • Complete an online form (e.g. to obtain email updates or ask us to send you information, apply for a job, or participate in a survey); 
  • Participate in discussion boards or other social media functions that may be connected with our Site; or 
  • Provide information to use offline regarding our business-related interactions with you (e.g. information you provide us at an industry event) 

We may supplement or combine information we collect online with personal information about you from other resources, which could include commercially available sources, such as public databases and data aggregators to extent permitted by applicable data protection laws. 

Technical Information 

We may collect information about your browser and/or device that you use to access our Site. Device information may or may not be personally identifiable depending upon whether it is linked to the identity of the user. 

We may also automatically log information, such as your IP address, domain name, browser type, date and time of access, and other log file data. This information may be used to analyze trends and help us with administration of our Site. We may collect statistical or non-personally-identifiable information about you including, for example, which pages you visit, how long you remain on a particular page, the website from which you came to our Site, or similar information. 

We may also collect aggregate information such as the total number of unique or return visitors to our Site, or visiting a section of the Site within a given timeframe. We may also use this information to measure the use of our Site to improve our content. 

Cookies and other similar automated technologies

Cookies are small text files which are sent to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies act as a memory for the website, allowing that website to remember your device on your return visits. Cookies can also remember your preferences, improve the user experience, as well as tailor the advertisements you see to those most relevant to you. 

We may utilize “cookies” and other similar technologies on our Site. We may use first and/or third party “browser” or “HTTP” cookies, which are unique text files that may be used for data analysis and enable our Site to tailor information for the visitor. We may use browser cookies to personalize the user’s experience on our site, to remember a user when the user registers for products or services, for fraud prevention, or to track visits to our Site. We also may use “web beacons” (also referred to as pixel tabs, clear gifs or other terms) or similar technologies to collect information such as how long a visitor remains on a particular page. 

If you do not want us to deploy browser cookies to your device when you visit our Sites, you may set the browser to reject cookies, or notify the user when a web site tries to place cookies in the browser program (see below), or disable cookie placement in the cookie selection module in your internet browser window. Rejecting cookies may affect your ability to use some features offered on our Site. 

Our service providers may also collect information about visitors to our Sites over time and/or across different websites when the visitor uses our Site. This information often is aggregate data or individual information that is tied to a browser or device rather than a specific identifier such as the visitor’s name and address, but some of this information might be considered personally identifiable under some laws. 

Some internet browsers offer what often is referred to as “do not track” mechanisms for browser users to automatically signal privacy preferences to websites that they visit. Our site does not currently respond to do-not-track-signals. However, you may exercise other choices available to you, including limiting the placement of browser cookies on your device using your browser cookies control features and other choices described above.
