Why We Gather Information
The Company is committed to providing our customers with quality goods and excellent customer service. We gather personal information to allow us to process your requests, to provide an enhanced and more personalized online experience, and to inform you of special offers and promotions.
The Types of Information We
Gather
Through our website and e-mails we may collect the following information: your
name, address, e-mail address, product interests, shopping preferences, and
other demographic information. You can choose not to provide certain
information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many or our
features or offers. If you choose to provide the above information to us, you consent to our use of that information for the purpose identified to you at the time of collection.
The knowledge and consent of an individual are required for the collection, use, or disclosure of his or her personal information, except where inappropriate or as permitted by law. In obtaining consent, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure that an individual is advised of the identified purposes for which personal information will be used or disclosed at the time that consent is obtained. In determining the appropriate form of consent, we will take into account the sensitivity of the personal information and the reasonable expectations of a reasonable person.
We will protect personal information by security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. We will use reasonable efforts and security measures to protect personal information against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, modification, disposal or destruction.
Limiting use, disclosure, and retention of personal information
We will not use or disclose personal information for purposes other than the identified purposes for which it was collected, except with the consent of the individual or as required or permitted by law. We will retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the identified purposes.
How We Use the Information We Collect About You
We use information we collect from you to process your requests, to provide an enhanced and more personalized online experience and to inform you of offers and promotions from The Company or other sites and companies which are affiliated with us.
In the event of a merger, consolidation, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or business of Osteo Bi-Flex™, one of the assets which would generally be transferred is the information we collect from our customers and members. However, the use of this information by any successor to The Company would still be governed by the terms of this Privacy Policy (as it is amended from time to time).
