Privacy Policy
Lumesis, Inc (“Lumesis”) maintains this website (the “Site”) in connection with the DIVER™ software tools, applications and on-line computer systems (the “DIVER Tools”). Lumesis is committed to ensuring your privacy while you visit this site. This privacy policy statement is intended to only cover the DIVER Tools and not sites that may be linked to or referenced in this Site. Each organization may have a different privacy statement, so you should review the privacy statement each time you submit personal information on a web site. Lumesis operates this Site. All references to “we”, “us”, “our”, this “website” or this “Site” shall be construed to mean Lumesis, Inc. We understand that visitors to this Site are concerned about the privacy of information. The following describes our privacy policy regarding information that we collect through this Site. We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, and without prior notice, by posting an amended Privacy Policy that is always accessible by clicking on the “Privacy Policy” link on this Site’s home page. Your continued use of this Site indicates your acceptance of the amended Privacy Policy. You should check the Privacy Policy through this link periodically for modifications. Regarding Personal Information, if any modifications are materially less restrictive regarding our use or disclosure of Personal Information previously disclosed by you, we will obtain your consent before implementing such revisions with respect to such information.
1. Collection of Anonymous, Passive Information
We reserve the right to monitor your use of this Site in connection with the DIVER Tools. As you navigate through this Site, certain anonymous information may be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, clickstream). For example, as explained in more detail below, your Internet browser automatically transmits to this Site some of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the website you just came from and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser version your computer is currently using in addition to the date and time of your request. This Site may also collect anonymous information from your computer through cookies ad Internet tags or web beacons. You may set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or to refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of this Site might not work without cookies. The following is a listing and a brief explanation of passive information collection methodologies which we may use from time to time to better understand how this Site is being used.
A “cookie” is a bit of information that this Site sends to your Web browser which helps us remember information about you and your preferences. You can set your browser to accept all cookies, to reject all cookies, or to notify you whenever a cookie is offered so that you can decide each time whether to accept it. To learn more about cookies and how to specify your preferences, please search for “cookie” in the “Help” portion of your browser. An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user’s computer). The IP address can be used to diagnose problems with a server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to a Site, and administer and improve the Site.
2. Use and Disclosure of Anonymous, Passive Information
This Site may make full use of passively collected anonymous information through the collection methods described above for our own internal operational purposes, including without limitation the right to use such information to provide better service to Site visitors, customize the Site based on your preferences, compile and analyze statistics and trends, and otherwise administer and improve this Site for your use. We reserve the right to share this information in the same manner as provided below for Personal Information.
3. Collection of Personally Identifiable Information
Personally identifiable information is information you provide that lets us know specific facts about you so that we can respond to your requests. Depending on the portion of the Site you visit and the information you provide, this information could range from your name, address and ZIP code, which you provide in order to receive information from us about certain services.
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your Email and our response so that we can more efficiently handle any follow-up questions you may have. From time to time, Lumesis may use your personal information to contact you by electronic mail concerning your use of our services. These communications are either to confirm orders placed with us, to inform you of important information regarding your account, or about general services provided by Lumesis. If you do not want to receive Email from us, please notify Lumesis in writing. (Please note that if you elect not to receive Email from us, you may still receive order confirmations, as well as notices concerning changes to this Policy or other legal notices.)

In general, our business practices limit employee access to confidential information, and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized persons, processes and transactions.
