This Privacy Policy applies to meshsuture.com (hereinafter, "us", "we", or "meshsuture.com"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us through the Website. We have adopted this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") to explain what information may be collected on our Website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the Website and does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.
This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms of Use posted on our Website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Website. Depending on your activities when visiting our Website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.
How We Collect Information
Mesh Suture collects information that is voluntarily provided to us via our Site. The goal of our Site is to assemble and analyze medical and business information in order to facilitate medical research and product improvement. We share data from our Site for these purposes, but we do so with respect for data privacy and in compliance with applicable privacy law and data ethics. Mesh Suture collects Personal Data that is specifically and voluntarily provided by users. Such information may consist of, but is not limited to, your name and e-mail address so that we may enhance your Site visit or follow up with you after your visit. If you are a physician, we may gather further information from you which may include your contact information as well as detailed information about the medical procedures you perform that you choose to voluntarily provide to us. In addition, if you are an employee, agent, contractor or other user, we may monitor detailed performance, security and usage data. We do not usually seek Sensitive Personal Data (e.g., data relating to race or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, criminal record, or sexual orientation), except for the medical and health information that we collect with your express consent to collect such information.
The information described in the preceding paragraph may also be collected in person from, for example, attendees of seminars and medical meetings. In-person information may be collected either electronically or in paper form.
Like most website operators, Mesh Suture collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Mesh Suture's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Mesh Suture's visitors use its website. From time to time, Mesh Suture may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Mesh Suture also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Mesh Suture only discloses IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
Certain visitors to Mesh Suture's websites choose to interact with Mesh Suture in ways that require Mesh Suture to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Mesh Suture gathers depends on the nature of the interaction, including but not limited to completing any contact form entries or commenting on any videos or posts.
Mesh Suture may contact you regarding our products and services (such as seminars and webinars). We may also use information we collect in accordance with uses that are communicated to the users at the time of collection. We may also use information collected through our Site for research regarding the effectiveness of our Site and related marketing, advertising and sales efforts.
If you have voluntarily provided personally identifying information, we may, from time to time, send you mail or email regarding products and services that may be of interest to you. We strive to ensure that our marketing activities comply with applicable law. You may at any time request that we discontinue sending you such materials by following the “Unsubscribe” instructions in the communication or by contacting us at info@meshsuture.com.
Mesh Suture takes reasonable steps, consistent with generally accepted industry standards, including technical, administrative and physical safeguards, to protect the Personal Data that Mesh Suture processes from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Data, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us, especially information that is transmitted to us via email. We have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us. Once we receive your transmission, we put forth our best effort to ensure its security on our servers. Internally, we will restrict access to your Personal Data to those who need access to the information in order to do their jobs. We will review our security arrangements from time to time as we deem appropriate. If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will post the changes on this page so that you always will know what information we collect, how we use it, and when and how we will disclose it.
Mesh Suture will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Personal Data is accurate and updated, adequate, relevant, not excessive for the purposes for which the Personal Data is processed, and kept only for the period necessary for permitted purposes.
Our Service may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy and terms and conditions of every site you visit.
We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites, products or services.
