The Information We Collect and How We Use It

In general, you can visit this Site without identifying yourself or revealing any personally identifiable information. There are times, however, that you may choose to voluntarily give us personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, phone number, email address and other information about yourself. We receive and store any information you enter on the Site or give us in any other way. For example, if you send us an email or fill out a form, you are transmitting the information that appears to you in the form or the message. The information we collect may be used for several purposes, including, for example, to improve the content of our Site, track activity on our Site, develop new products or services, assist with our fundraising and community outreach programs, or respond to inquiries. We also allow access to our database by affiliates and third parties that further our mission or provide us with services only for the purpose and only to the extent necessary to provide you with those services. There may also be occasions when we are legally required to provide access to our database, or provide information about a user of the Site in order to cooperate with investigations or other legal proceedings. In those instances, the information is provided only for that purpose.

Certain information may be automatically collected when you visit the Site. You may have read about “cookies,” nuggets of information that are placed by a web site in a storage place on your own computer. The types of information we collect with cookies may include the name of your Internet service provider, the web site that referred you to us (if any), the date and time our web site was accessed, the page or pages you visited, and/or your IP address. You can refuse to accept these cookies by following your browser’s instructions; however, if you do not accept them, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of the Site.

From time to time you may also provide us with non-personally identifiable material, including information, suggestions, ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, questions, comments, or other communications which you transmit to this Site in any manner (“User Communications”). Such User Communications will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. Please note that our Terms of Use for this Site prohibit you from transmitting to or from this Site any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, offensive, pornographic, or other material that would violate any law or damage the reputation of Beaqen. Beaqen will have no liability related to the content of any User Communications, whether or not arising under the laws of copyright, libel, privacy, obscenity, or otherwise.

While your individual information is protected as outlined above, we reserve the right to use aggregated, anonymous data about our visitors as a group for any business purpose, such as, without limitation, analyzing usage trends.

Other than as outlined above, Beaqen will not sell, trade or rent your personally identifying information we may collect on this Site to any third party without your permission. All Beaqen affiliates and third party service providers that receive access to your personally identifiable information in accordance with this Privacy Policy are subject to this policy with respect to how they are permitted to use your personally identifiable information.

BECAUSE THE SITE IS NOT TO BE USED FOR THE SOLICITATION OR RENDERING OF MEDICAL ADVICE, NOR ARE YOU PERMITTED TO DISCLOSE INDIVIDUALLY IDENTIFIABLE HEALTH INFORMATION, BE ADVISED THAT THE PRIVACY PROTECTIONS THAT GENERALLY APPLY TO COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN A DOCTOR OR THERAPIST AND A PATIENT MAY NOT APPLY TO COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE SITE OR EMAIL.

Links to Other Sites

You should be aware that when using the Site, you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. For example, if you click on an advertisement or a link in a news article, you may be taken to another site. These other sites may send their own cookies to your computer, collect data, or solicit personal information from you. These other sites are not bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of such sites before disclosing any personally identifying information.

Your Consent

By using the Site, you consent to the collection and use of your information as outlined in this Privacy Policy. If we make changes to this statement, we will post them on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect and how we use it. Changes are effective when posted to this page. Your continued use after any change is posted is an acceptance by you of such change.
