Chiron Scientific, Inc. is firmly committed to protecting your privacy online.

Information Gathered

We collect two types of information from you: information you submit to us during registration and information our site gathers automatically.

Information You Submit

We welcome everyone to search and use our site for free to locate scientific products through Chiron Scientific Online. If you're planning to view the price of products on our site, we ask you to fill in and submit our registration form.

Our registration form uses required and non-required fields. For required fields, you must provide some basic information including contact information (name, company name, address, e-mail and phone number). When registering, you also must choose a Username and a Password and enter an email address. There are non-required fields on our registration form that you may use to provide more data about yourself and your organization to help us serve you better.

Information We Gather

Usage Tracking

As you browse our Web site, it collects log file, IP address, and other standard tracking data we use to evaluate site traffic and usage patterns. Such information is aggregated with tracking data from all site visitors. It is never associated with individually identifiable information that would reveal anything personal about you. We use such aggregated information to help us evaluate products and services, including new ones we make available on our Web site.

Cookies

A cookie, a bit of data sent by a Web site to your browser, enables the site to return the results the browser expects. Chiron Scientific, Inc. uses temporary, session-specific cookies to ensure visits go smoothly. These Chiron cookies go away once your browser is closed. Chiron also uses a persistent cookie to store your User Name information, which expires one month after you login. This information is used solely to pre-populate the User Name box in the Log In section for your convenience.

In addition, Chiron guarantees your anonymity while using our site. Our cookies neither reveal nor contain any identifying or personal data. Cookies can't read any information on your computer or interact with other cookies on your hard drive.

NOTE: Disabling cookie support will prevent this site from functioning properly and you may not be able to utilize fully all of its features and information.

Uses of Information

We use your registration to provide you access to our product pricing. We may also email you promotional information, but you may opt out of receiving advertising email from our site on the registration page.

Information Sharing

Chiron never willfully discloses any individually identifiable information about its users to third parties without a user's specific permission to do so. We do not sell users' names or email addresses to other companies to use to send unsolicited ads or junk mail. We may provide individually identifiable information to third parties in any case where it is required by law.

Any display ads shown on our site may collect user information if you click or follow their ads. We do not control any data collected voluntarily or involuntarily through these ads. Investigate the privacy policies of any advertised site if you have concerns about its collection and use of user information.

Choice/Opt-Out Options

Chiron understands and appreciates your desire to decide whether or not you would like to receive targeted promotional information from our site. On our user registration page, we allow you to choose whether or not we are permitted to email you with information or marketing offers. If you choose to accept these emails from Chiron, any email we send will include instructions on how to be removed from the list.

You also can decline to provide information requested through the non-required field on our registration submission form.

Correct/Update Options

You have the option of correcting, updating, and modifying your individually identifiable registration information (known as your User Profile) at any time and as often as you need to. The only item you can't change is the Username you select when you register. Log in and select the "Change Address Details" button under "Customer Service".

Delete/Deactivate Option

Currently, it is not possible for Chiron users to permanently delete or deactivate their User Profile information from the database.

Security and Encryption

Chiron uses SSL encryption and a secure server throughout your visit to encrypt any information transmitted from your browser to our server and back again. This ensures any data you submit to our site is transmitted securely over the Internet.
