Note: www.diagnosticinnovations.com is the main gateway to Diagnostic Innovations LLC on the Web, containing the general privacy policy for diagnosticinnovations.com. Because we have tried to simplify your access to our privacy policy, this policy describes the potential use of visitor information throughout the Diagnostic Innovations LLC website. Parts of the site may make far less use of personal information than we have outlined in the policy, but we wanted to provide you with an inclusive statement of our practices.
Diagnostic Innovations LLC collects data from users in four main ways.
- Registration screens and online forms
- In the process of online purchases (transaction records) and sales inquiries
- In e-mails sent to Diagnostic Innovations LLC from users
- Through automated means such as communications protocols and cookies
Diagnostic Innovations LLC may receive data from you as part of the communication connection itself - the standard electronic greeting between your computer, the network, and our servers. This information often consists of network routing (where you came from), equipment information (browser type), date and time. At this time our server will also query your computer to see if there are "cookies1" set by Diagnostic Innovations LLC.com to facilitate log in or other site navigation procedures.
Some parts of the Diagnostic Innovations LLC site use cookies to collect information about visitors' use of the Web site and to facilitate return visits. The information collected from cookies is tracked to enhance security and to improve the functionality of the Web site by avoiding duplicate data entry, facilitating navigation, and increasing the relevance of content. Cookies on the site may collect the following information: a unique identifier, user preferences and profile information used to personalize the content that is shown, and membership information to access Diagnostic Innovations LLC's online communities. Some cookies used by Diagnostic Innovations LLC.com may remain on the user's computer after they leave the website.
Cookies also serve as a convenience to users by creating a more streamlined login process, keeping track of shopping cart additions and preserving order information between sessions. In the future, as we enable further customization of the site, cookies will help in assuring that information provided to you will be the most relevant to your needs.
You can set your Web browser to alert you when a cookie is being used. You can also get information on the duration of the cookie, and to learn what server your information is being returned to. You then have the opportunity to accept or reject the cookie. Additionally, you may set your browser to refuse all cookies or accept only cookies returned to the originating servers. Users may generally disable the cookie feature on their browser without affecting their ability to use the site, except in some cases where cookies are used as an essential security feature necessary for transaction completion. In order to provide maximum site utility, Diagnostic Innovations LLC also uses a tracking technique that uses embedded URLs2 to allow use of the site without cookies. Embedded URLs manifest themselves as plain-text or encoded extensions to the URL that appears in the browser address or location toolbar. This technology allows limited information to follow you as you navigate the site, but is not identified to personal information and is not used beyond the session. While this increases your ability to surf the site, it does not replace the functionality or streamlining of cookies and may limit your use of many convenience features offered by the site.
To learn more about cookies and browser functionality relating to cookies please search for "cookies" in the help function of your browser.
2. The data we collect and how we use it
Diagnostic Innovations LLC collects information from users for the following purposes:
- To engage in
transactions or communications. Name, address, e-mail, purchase
details, and credit card/payment information may be collected and stored
as part of the transaction history. The majority of the information
collected under this category is business contact information. Diagnostic
Innovations LLC may need to share some of this information (address,
payment...) with delivery services, credit card clearing houses and
other similarly situated third parties that are required to accomplish
the transaction.
- To provide future
service and support. Information collected for this purpose is both
contact information and information related to products and service/support
requested. This information is also used to provide service, product
update, and similar notices.
- To select content.
Information may be collected to help create Web site content and navigation
that is most relevant and user friendly. This includes information collected
as a result of site navigation as well as information provided in forms.
- To respond to
user inquiries and requests for information. This information includes
registrations for newsletters and specific requests for further information.
- To provide our
customers with relevant product alerts and updates. These updates
are related to product releases, prices, terms and special offers. These
updates are only sent out as a result of the customer signing up for
the relevant program or online account.
- To better tailor
marketing to user needs. We may use information from purchases and
requirements to provide you with timely and pertinent notices of product
releases and service developments that address your needs and requirements.
Marketing notices are subject to the general opt-out elections.
- To better respond
to requests for service or quotes for product and equipment purchase.
Diagnostic Innovations LLC will pass contact information to the appropriate
Diagnostic Innovations LLC sales person, distributor or consultant for
follow-up related to your request. Diagnostic Innovations LLC may also
ask if you wish to have your contact information shared with other selected
partners that offer complementary products or services related to your
inquiry. While those partners have separate privacy policies, we ask
them to limit the use of your personal information for purposes of responding
to your request for service or information.
- To provide information
on educational events or relevant partner products. We occasionally
co-sponsor events with partners that provide services of potential benefit
to Diagnostic Innovations LLC users. We may provide information on such
events and services to users that have provided information indicating
interest in the subject matter or service. To help assure respect of
your information, we maintain control of the information and limit the
use of the information by these partners.
- To power joint
sales or product promotions. Diagnostic Innovations LLC and its
partners may engage in joint events or provide bundled products. Such
promotions will always reference the partners involved3.
Both Diagnostic Innovations LLC and the partner(s) will have access
to that information. While we carefully choose our partners, privacy
is a very subjective concern and we advise you to review the privacy
policies of these partners.
- To address performance
and fix issues. On occasion, patches and other fixes to software,
such as security patches addressing newly discovered vulnerabilities,
are developed by Diagnostic Innovations LLC. We may communicate the
availability of these patches or fixes to registered owners of software
and parties who have identified themselves to us as users or developers.
These communications will not contain marketing messages and will not
be subject to general opt-out elections, due to the potential importance
of these patches and fixes.
- As a result of legal requirements, Diagnostic Innovations LLC may be required to provide personally identifiable information to comply with legally mandated reporting, disclosure or other legal process requirements.
3. Customization, Preferences and Opt Out
Diagnostic Innovations LLC recognizes that users may not wish to be contacted about new or related products. Diagnostic Innovations LLC.com allows you to opt out of any e-mail marketing that may result from use of the site. Diagnostic Innovations LLC allows visitors to self-select into communities as a way to provide initial customization to the Diagnostic Innovations LLC web site. There are also plans to allow users to determine the way requested information is delivered.
Diagnostic Innovations LLC only shares information with selected companies after providing users with an ability to either opt out of or opt into the sharing. In some cases, where the service is designed to provide marketing, the opt out may be not to utilize the service. The limitations to such opt outs/opt ins are in the case of joint sale or joint events where the information goes to both Diagnostic Innovations LLC and the other party at the same time, where the customer has requested follow up which involves Diagnostic Innovations LLC partners, and as needed with third parties required to accomplish the transaction including delivery and credit card clearing services. As we further develop our preference tools we will endeavor to have our partners join in their use as well to provide the user with a more seamless and streamlined environment.
Please contact us if you believe you have mistakenly received information after opting out or if you would like to opt out of receiving information and have any trouble using the mechanisms provided on Diagnostic Innovations LLC.
Diagnostic Innovations LLC has provided you with the ability to create an account or profile of information. We maintain the information and allow you to update it at any time. To change this information, please log in as usual and follow the prompts to "update my profile." We continue to work on these methods to increase the scope of information that you may access and update. Please contact us should you require further assistance concerning your information or if you have trouble accessing your profile.
While the majority of questions and issues related to access can be handled quickly, a few complex requests may take more research and time. In such cases, access issues will either be addressed within thirty days or you will be contacted as to the nature of the problem and appropriate next steps.
Diagnostic Innovations LLC permits a limited amount of sponsorships and advertisements on its Web sites. No personally identifiable information is passed back to the advertisers as part of this process, but aggregate profile information, such as user community, may be used in the selection of advertising to make sure that it has relevance to the user.
The privacy practices of advertisers, like other external links, are beyond the control of Diagnostic Innovations LLC and you should review the privacy policy of any associated site before providing any personal information.
Diagnostic Innovations LLC is concerned with the security of the personally identifiable information we have collected and has in place reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized access to that information. These measures include - policies, procedures, and technical elements relating to data access controls. In addition, Diagnostic Innovations LLC uses standard security protocols and mechanisms to exchange the transmission of sensitive data such as credit card details.
Should you believe your personal information has been used in a way that is not consistent with this policy or your stated preferences, or should you have further questions related to this policy, please contact us by e-mail.
We may update this policy from time to time to describe how new site features affect our use of your information and to let you know of new control and preference features that we provide you. Please check our website for updates, or contact us to be added to our policy mailing list.
