How does STATEWIDE LABS
collect information online?
Statewide Research Lab’s collects
information in two ways:
Personal Information You Submit:
STATEWIDE LABS collects
personal information that you
enter into data fields on STATEWIDE LABSweb sites. For
example, you may submit your
name, postal address, e-mail
address, and/or other
information in order to receive
information about various
subjects, register for STATEWIDE LABS programs, or order
products, contact STATEWIDE LABS customer service,
or respond to STATEWIDE LABS surveys. To protect your
privacy, you should not provide
STATEWIDE LABS with any
information that is not
specifically requested, such as
your medical history.
Passive Collection of Unidentifiable Information:
STATEWIDE LABS web sites
may collect information about
your visits to STATEWIDE LABS web sites without you
actively submitting such
information. Unidentifiable
information may be collected
using various technologies, such
as cookies, Internet tags, and
web beacons. Your Internet
browser automatically transmits
to STATEWIDE LABS web
sites some of this
unidentifiable information, such
as the URL of the web site you
just visited and the browser
version your computer is
operating. Passive information
collection technologies can make
your use of STATEWIDE LABS
web sites easier by allowing
STATEWIDE LABS to provide
better service, customize sites
based on consumer preferences,
compile statistics, analyze
trends, and otherwise administer
and improve STATEWIDE LABS
web sites. Certain features of
STATEWIDE LABS web sites
may not work without use of
passive information collection
technologies. Information
collected by these technologies
cannot be used to identity you
without additional identifiable
information.
In what circumstances might
STATEWIDE LABS collect and
use personal information?
STATEWIDE LABS will use
the personal information you
provide through STATEWIDE LABS web sites to respond to
your questions and to provide
you with efficient customer
service. After you have entered
personal information into a form
or data field on an STATEWIDE LABS web site, STATEWIDE LABS may use certain
identifying technologies to
allow that web site to
"remember" your personal
preferences, such as sections of
that web site that you visit
frequently and, if you choose,
your user ID. We may also use
this personal information for
other business purposes, such as
to offer you the opportunity to
receive notices regarding STATEWIDE LABS’s products or
services, to invite you to
participate in surveys about our
products, or to notify you about
special promotions.
Does STATEWIDE LABS
consolidate personal
information?
STATEWIDE LABS may
consolidate the personal
information of customers who use
STATEWIDE LABS web sites.
We use this information to help
us better design STATEWIDE LABS web sites and STATEWIDE LABS products, to
communicate information to you,
to enhance our marketing and
research activities, and to
facilitate other business
functions.
What choices do I have about how
STATEWIDE LABS collects
and uses personal information
about me?
You may always limit the amount
and type of personal information
that STATEWIDE LABS
receives about you by choosing
not to enter any personal
information into forms or data
fields on STATEWIDE LABS
web sites. Some of our online
services can only be provided to
you if you provide us with
appropriate personal
information. Other parts of
STATEWIDE LABS web sites
may ask whether you wish to opt
out or opt into our contact
lists for offers, promotions and
additional services that may be
of interest to you.
You may also be provided with
preference questions or
preference boxes allowing you to
indicate that you do not want
STATEWIDE LABS web sites
to use tracking technologies,
such as cookies, to "remember"
your personal information, such
as user IDs or mailing
addresses, on return visits.
However, STATEWIDE LABS
web sites that use tracking
technologies to collect
unidentifiable information do
not generally provide you with
the ability to opt out of the
tracking technologies. Some
Internet browsers allow you to
limit or disable the use of
tracking technologies that
collect unidentifiable
information.
Who will have access to personal
information about me?
Personal information can be
accessed by a restricted number
of STATEWIDE LABS
employees, by certain companies
with which STATEWIDE LABS
may conduct joint programs, and
by individuals and entities with
whom STATEWIDE LABS
contracts to carry out business
activities for STATEWIDE LABS. We train our employees
about the importance of privacy
and how to handle and manage
customer data appropriately and
securely.
Does STATEWIDE LABS share
personal information with third
parties?
As a general rule, STATEWIDE LABS does not share
your personal information with
third parties, unless it is
necessary to conduct a joint
program or to carry out a
program or activity through a
contractor. Where required by
law, STATEWIDE LABS will
not disclose your personal
information to third parties for
those third parties’ marketing
purposes, unless you have been
provided with an opportunity to
opt into or opt out of this
disclosure. However, if STATEWIDE LABS sells one of its
product lines or divisions, your
personal information may be
transferred to the buyer so that
the buyer can continue to
provide you with information and
services. If STATEWIDE LABS provides your personal
information to individuals and
entities which assist us with
our business activities, it is
STATEWIDE LABS’s practice
to require those individuals and
entities to keep your personal
information confidential and to
use your personal information
only to perform functions for
STATEWIDE LABS. STATEWIDE LABS reserves the right
to disclose your personal
information to respond to
authorized information requests
from government authorities, to
address national security
situations, or when otherwise
required by law.

secure personal information?
It is STATEWIDE LABS’s
practice to secure each web page

information; however, the
confidentiality of personal
information transmitted over the
Internet cannot be guaranteed.
We urge you to exercise caution
when transmitting personal
information over the Internet,
especially personal information
related to your health. STATEWIDE LABS cannot guarantee
that unauthorized third parties
will not gain access to your
personal information; therefore,
when submitting personal
information to STATEWIDE LABS web sites, you must weigh
both the benefits and the risks.

Privacy Policy will display a
warning whenever you link to a
web site that is not controlled
by STATEWIDE LABS; you
should check the privacy
policies of such third-party web
sites before submitting personal
information.

information or delete it from
current customer records?

How will I know whether STATEWIDE LABS has updated this
policy?
STATEWIDE LABS reserves
the right to amend this Privacy
Policy without prior notice to
reflect technological
advancements, legal and
regulatory changes and good
business practices. If STATEWIDE LABS changes its
privacy practices, a new Privacy
Policy will reflect those
changes and the effective date

will be set forth in this
paragraph. This Privacy Policy
