Tilde Sciences LLC ("Tilde") thanks you for visiting its web site. Because we are committed to respecting the privacy of our web site visitors, this web site Privacy Policy describes the information we may collect from you during your visit to our site, how we may use it, and how we will protect the information which you may opt to provide. This policy explains the efforts to balance our business interests in collecting and using the information we receive from you with your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information that you share with us.
BY USING THIS WEB SITE, YOU CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA AS SET FORTH IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. YOU ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TILDE MAY PERIODICALLY ALTER, MODIFY OR OTHERWISE UPDATE THIS PRIVACY POLICY AT ITS DISCRETION, WITHOUT PRIOR NOTIFICATION.
Personally identifiable information (PII) may include your name, birth date, address, phone number, e-mail address or any other information which might reasonably be used to identify you individually. Tilde collects personally identifiable information from web site visitors only when it is voluntarily provided. Tilde will not otherwise collect this information from you on our web site. At those portions of our web site where we provide you with the option to input personally identifiable information, we notify you of the uses we intend to make of that information in any given instance. When Tilde receives PII, we may use it for reasonable business purposes, just as non-Internet businesses do. For example, we may use this information to contact you, via e-mail or regular mail, and to provide you with information we believe may be of interest. It might also be used for compiling data and analyses to understand and serve our customers' needs. Data is also compiled to evaluate the use and utility of the services we provide on-line.
Your information may be transferred for processing and use to Tilde affiliates in other countries and regions of the world which agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may transfer your data to one of the Tilde Group's databases outside your country of domicile, potentially including countries which may not provide an adequate level of protection for your personal information compared with that provided in your country. Your data may also be transferred to third parties who act for or on our behalf, for further processing in accordance with the purpose(s) for which the data was originally collected or may otherwise be lawfully processed, such as provision of services, data management or technical support. Said third parties have contracted with us to only use PII for the agreed upon purpose, not to sell your personal data to third parties, and not to disclose it to third parties except as may be required by law, as permitted by us or as stated in this Privacy Policy. PII may also be transferred to a third party in the event that the business of this site or any part of it and the customer data connected with it is sold, assigned or transferred. In such case, we will require the buyer, assignee or transferee to treat your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Also, PII may be disclosed to a third party if Tilde is required to do so based on an applicable law or court order, or if such disclosure is otherwise required in support of any criminal or other legal investigation or proceeding here or abroad. PII will not be sold, rented or exchanged outside of Tilde unless the user is first notified and expressly consents to such transfer.
The Tilde web site may also collect information from you that is not personally identifiable. For example, we might track information about the date and time visitors access our site, the type of web browser they used, and the web site from which they connected to our site. Our web sites collect this information by depositing certain bits of information called "cookies" in a visitor's computer. This technology does not collect an individual visitor's personally identifiable information. Rather, this information is collected in an aggregate form. The cookies can tell us how and when pages in a web site were visited and by how many people. This aggregate information will enable us to improve our web sites to serve and inform you better. It also may allow you to shortcut access to points of interest on our web site when you re-enter our system. Attaching this device to your system has no effect on how it performs.
As a resource to our visitors, Tilde may provide links to other web sites. We try to carefully choose web sites, which we believe are useful and meet our high standards for the accuracy and utility of information. However, because web site design and content can change so quickly, we cannot guarantee the standards of every web site to which we link. Likewise, we are not responsible for the content of any non-Tilde site. We also cannot guarantee the privacy policies of these other sites and suggest you check the privacy policies of those sites directly.
If you wish to stop receiving any e-mails or other consumer communications from Tilde which may be sent to you in the future based on your request for this information, or if you have submitted personally identifiable information through a Tilde web site and would like to have that information deleted from our records, please notify us regarding your desire to “opt-out” via the contact information on this site. Your wishes in these matters will be honored. Please note that if you choose to opt-out as described, we will not be able to remove PII about you from the databases of those third parties with which we have already shared your PII as of the date that we implement your opt-out request. If you wish to cease receiving promotional emails from such third parties, please contact them directly or utilize any opt-out mechanism set forth in their respective privacy policies or email communications.
Tilde will make every effort to maintain the accuracy and confidentiality of any personal information you supply to us. If you wish to make additions or other corrections to the information that you have sent in, please transmit it to us via the contact information on this site.
