Welcome to ConfluentMedical.com! This site is owned by Confluent Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Confluent”). This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about Confluent’s practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may provide via this site. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to this site. This site is based in and intended for use by residents of the United States of America.

Your Consent
By using this site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever you submit information via this site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Your continued use of Confluent’s site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes as well.

Use by Minors
This site is not directed to individuals under the age of 16 and we request that these individuals do not provide personal information through this site. If your child has submitted Personal Information (defined below) and you would like to request that such Personal Information be removed, please contact Confluent as explained below under “How to Contact Us.”

Personal Information
“Personal Information” is information related to you that we can use to specifically identify you such as your name, telephone number, email address, address, financial information (such as credit card information if applicable), and any other information that identifies or could identify you and relates to you specifically.

Personal Information on individual users will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without your approval at the time of collection. At such points of collection, you will have the opportunity to indicate whether you would like to “opt out” of receiving promotional and/or marketing information about other products, services, and offerings from Confluent and/or any third parties.

Confluent may disclose user information in special cases when Confluent has reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Confluent’s rights or property, other Confluent users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Confluent may disclose Personal Information when Confluent believes in good faith that the law requires it.

How Confluent Gathers, Processes, and/or Uses Personal Information
Confluent collects data through information you provide on the site by registering online, voluntarily completing a customer survey or providing feedback on any type of message board or via email.

Confluent may process or use your personal information:

• To perform a contract or for contract negotiations with or about you
• To respond to your requests and inquiries
• To contact you by mail (or in other ways with your permission) with information that might be of interest to you, including information about clinical trials and about our products and services and of others
• For analytical purposes and to research, develop and improve programs, products, therapies, services, and content
• To remove your personal identifiers (your name, e-mail address, etc.). In this case, you would no longer be identified as a single unique individual. Once Confluent has de-identified information, it is non-personal information and is not subject to this Privacy Statement
• To personalize your access to our web sites, for example, by telling you about new features that may be of interest to you
• To enforce this Privacy Statement and otherwise protect Confluent’s rights or property
• For our other legitimate interests, unless such processing will unfairly prejudice your rights or freedoms
• In other ways to which you consent

Passive Information Collection; Cookies
As you navigate through a Web site, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses, cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data collection.

Confluent uses Internet Protocol (IP) addresses on this site. An IP Address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user’s computer). Confluent uses your IP address to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our site, and administer and improve the site.

A “cookie” is a bit of information that a Web site sends to your Web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences. Session cookies are temporary bits of information that are erased once you exit your Web browser window or otherwise turn your computer off. Session cookies are used to improve navigation on Web sites and to collect aggregate statistical information.

“Persistent” cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided (e.g., passwords), helping to determine what areas of the Web site visitors find most valuable, and customizing the Web site based on your preferences. This site does not use persistent cookies.

“Internet tags” (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web site server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor’s computer. This site does not use Internet tags

“Navigational data” (“log files,” “server logs,” and “clickstream” data) are used for system management, to improve the content of the site, for market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors. This site uses navigational data.

Data Protection Rights
You have the right:

• to access information about yourself stored by Confluent and its use
• to rectify, block, or delete your Personal Information
• to refuse direct marketing calls or mail
• to remove your data from a direct marketing list

If you feel you need to access this information, please contact Confluent as explained below under “How to Contact Us.” Confluent will respond to you request as soon as reasonably practicable and no later than one month after receipt. If circumstances cause any delay in Confluent’s response, you will be promptly notified and provided a date for Confluent’s response.

Do Not Track (“DNT”)
While Confluent takes privacy and security very seriously and strives to put our customers first in all aspects of our business, Confluent does not respond to DNT signals in browsers because no DNT standard has been adopted at this time.

Use and Disclosure of Information

Except as otherwise stated, Confluent may use your information to improve the content of this site, to customize the site to your preferences, to communicate information to you (if you have requested it), for Confluent’s marketing and research purposes, and for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy.

Links to Other Web Sites
This site may contain links or references to other Web sites. Please be aware that Confluent does not control other Web sites and that, in any case, this Privacy Policy does not apply to those Web sites. Confluent encourages you to read the privacy policy of every Web site you visit.

Other Terms
Your use of this site is subject to Confluent’s Legal Notice.
