Cookies and Other Tools; Do Not Track


Like many websites, NovoHelix uses cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other technologies (collectively, “Tools”) to improve your Site experience. A cookie is a file containing text that is placed on your computer’s hard drive when you visit certain websites. With cookies in place, our system will recognize you whenever you use your web browser to connect to our page. This enables us to present you with custom web pages and otherwise improve your user experience.


Disabling cookies may prevent you from using certain features of the Site such as registering or placing orders. If you choose not to take advantage of these interactive features, you can set up your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie has been sent. The “Help” section of your browser will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage or delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.


Third parties may collect personally identifiable information about an individual user’s online activities over time and across different Internet services when a user uses this Site.


There is no accepted standard on how to respond to Do Not Track signals, and we do not respond to such signals. 


Transfer of Data to Other Countries


Any information you provide to NovoHelix may be stored, processed, transferred between, and accessed from the United States and other countries, which may not guarantee the same level of protection as the one in which you reside. Nevertheless, NovoHelix will handle information from or about you in accordance with this Privacy Policy regardless of where that information is stored. By providing any information on or to the Site, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing. 


Other Websites


This Privacy Policy applies only to this Site. This Site may contain links to other websites of interest. When you use these links to leave this Site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide while visiting such websites and such websites are not governed by this Privacy Policy. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy policy applicable to the website in question.


Security


We use administrative, physical, and technical measures to safeguard information and help protect it from unauthorized access. All of our website communications are HTTPS based, and provide end to end encryption for any data flowing between NovoHelix and the browser. We also use both passwords and user names to authenticate users on certain portions of our website (i.e. to verify the identity of each registered user). Users are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of their own passwords.


However, no security can be 100% effective, so we cannot guarantee the security of information we maintain. No Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. Email or other communications sent through this Site may not be secure. You should use caution whenever submitting information through this Site and take special care in deciding which information you provide us with. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us by contacting us at NovoHelix.


Opting Out


If you do not wish to receive certain communications from us, you may opt out by (1) declining to provide us with information about you when registering or at other information gathering points on this Site, or (2) informing us that you no longer wish to receive such communications by emailing us, or (3) unsubscribing from our promotional emails via the link provided in the emails, unless such communications from us are required by law or contract or do not require your consent under applicable laws. Even if you opt out of receiving promotional messages from us, you will continue to receive administrative messages from us. If you choose not to provide us with information we collect, you may not be able to access certain of our products or services.


Please see Cookies and Other Tools; Do Not Track above.


Children’s Privacy


We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, please do not submit any personal information through this Site. If you have reason to believe that we may have accidentally received personal information from an individual under age 13, please contact us immediately at NovoHelix.


Access and Correction of Information


You may at any time request access to a summary of personal information from or about you held by us, and request corrections or updates to that information. We will make reasonable efforts to respond promptly to such requests for information in accordance with local laws. Our response to such requests will be limited to information under our direct control.


If you believe that any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please write to or email us as soon as possible at NovoHelix. We will promptly correct any information found to be incorrect.
