General service providers: We share the information described above with our third party service providers, as necessary for them to provide their services to us and help us perform our contract with you. Service providers are third parties (other companies or individuals) that help us to provide, analyze and improve our Services. While PRECISION SCIENCES, INC. directly conducts the majority of data processing activities required to provide our Services to you, we engage some third party service providers to assist in supporting our Services, including in the following areas:

We implement procedures and maintain contractual terms with each service provider to protect the confidentiality and security of your information. However, we cannot guarantee the confidentiality and security of your information due to the inherent risks associated with storing and transmitting data electronically.

Aggregate information: We may share Aggregate Information, which is information that has been stripped of your name and contact information and combined with information of others so that you cannot reasonably be identified as an individual, with third parties. This Information is different from “Individual-level” information and is not Personal Information because it does not identify any particular individual or disclose any particular individual’s data.

As required by law: Under certain circumstances, your Personal Information may be subject to processing pursuant to laws, regulations, judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or orders. PRECISION SCIENCES, INC. will preserve and disclose any and all information to law enforcement agencies or others if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal or regulatory process (such as a judicial proceeding, court order, or government inquiry) or obligations that PRECISION SCIENCES, INC. may owe pursuant to ethical and other professional rules, laws, and regulations; (b) enforce the PRECISION SCIENCES, INC. Terms of Service and other policies; (c) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of PRECISION SCIENCES, INC., its employees, its users, its clients, and the public.

In such a case, your information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Statement.

Third Party and Digital Advertising: We may partner with third-party advertising networks to manage our advertising on other sites. We may also share information about you with third parties only in ways expressed in this statement. We do this in order to have those third parties, directly serve advertising to you on their websites on our behalf.

In order to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of information, PRECISION SCIENCES, INC. uses a variety of reasonable technical, physical and administrative measures to safeguard your Personal Information, in accordance with current technological standards, and in full compliance with applicable Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) requirements. While we use commercially reasonable and appropriate means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Your information collected through the Service may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which PRECISION SCIENCES, INC. or its subsidiaries, affiliates or service providers maintain facilities and, therefore, your information may be subject to the laws of those other jurisdictions, which may be different from the laws of your country of residence.
