Information Collected
"Personal Data" is any information-as electronically or otherwise recorded-that can be used to identify a person or that we can link directly to an individual, such as name, address, email address, telephone number, or credit card number, as applicable. Personal Data in some countries can include information that indirectly identifies a person, even absent other identifying information.
Personal Data may include information considered sensitive in some jurisdictions, such as biometric information, financial account information, geolocation, ethnic or racial origin, information concerning your sex life or your sexual orientation, and other information. Data that could be considered Sensitive Personal Data is highlighted with an caret (^) in the summary charts below. We only collect and processes sensitive data for the purposes stated herein and do not use such data to infer characteristics about you.
We will process any Personal Data we collect in accordance with applicable law and as described in this Notice (unless, as explained above, a separate policy or notice governs).

In some circumstances, if you do not provide us with your Personal Data, certain services may be unavailable to you.
Below is a summary of how we collect, process, and use Personal Data and the potential recipients of your Personal Data. Some jurisdictions require us to state the legal bases for processing your Personal Data, which are included below, but please note that not all jurisdictions may recognize all legal bases.

****Each marketing communication we send you will contain instructions permitting you to "opt-out" of receiving future marketing communications. In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future marketing communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us at: privacy@biotrust.org.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
To the extent permitted by law, including with your consent where required, we may engage in the following activities:
- We may use your contact details to contact you to determine whether you would like us to send you marketing emails. If you do not wish to receive such marketing emails, you may opt out by declining to receive such emails when registering, in our subsequent communications by following opt-out or unsubscribe instructions included in the email, by contacting us, or at other information collection points.
- We also perform statistical analyses of the users of our Online Services to improve the functionality, content, design, and navigation of our services.
This website may use certain tracking technologies, including "cookies," which from time to time automatically collect certain information and data. "Cookies" are small pieces of data sent to your computer browser from our web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. The data identifies you as a unique user and facilitates your ongoing access to and use of this website. Cookies also help us diagnose problems with our server and analyze how visitors use our website.
You may be able to set your web browser to refuse certain types of cookies, or to alert you when certain types of cookies are being used. Some browsers offer similar settings for HTML5 local storage and other technologies. However, if you block or otherwise reject cookies or similar technologies, certain websites (including this website) may not function as expected. Without refusing cookies through your browser, you can also opt out of Google Analytics by installing a Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each web browser you use.
We do not sell or share your personal information. Furthermore, we have not sold or shared any categories of personal information about consumers with third parties in the preceding 12 months.
In addition, if you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to automatically decline cookies or be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer to your computer of a particular cookie (or cookies) from a particular site. Visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html for more information. If, however, you do not accept these cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Online Services.
Certain web browsers and other programs may transmit "opt-out" signals, also called a Global Privacy Control (or GPC) signal ("GPC Signals"), to websites with which the browser communicates. You may need to change your web browser's settings or add an application to your web browser to enable your browser to send a GPC Signal. Our Online Services may recognize GPC Signals for visitors differently, based on the location of the visitor when they access our Online Services. For visitors that access our Online Services from jurisdictions that have laws requiring recognition of GPC Signals, we will recognize and apply the GPC Signal to inactivate targeted advertising and social media cookies; it will not inactivate required cookies, functional cookies, and analytics cookies. For others, our Online Services may or may not recognize and apply the GPC Signal.
To turn on GPCs on your browser, go to your browser, open the Privacy or Security Settings, locate the GPC or other Opt Out Preference Signal setting in your browser extension and turn it on. If your browser does not have this option, you will need to implement a browser extension that can send these signals.
Children
We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of 16. If you are under the age of 16, please do not submit any Personal Data through the Site. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Notice by instructing their children never to provide Personal Data on the Site without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 16 has provided Personal Data to us through the Site, please contact us, and we will endeavor to delete that information from our databases.
