Information Collection and Use
Biokinetics is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Biokinetics may collect information from our users at several different points on our web site.

Registration
In order to use this web site, a user may first be required to complete a registration form. During registration a user may be required to give their contact information (such as name and e-mail address). This information is used to contact the user about the products and/or services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide more specific demographic information, and unique identifiers, but encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site.

Order
We may request information from the user on an order form. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user accessing a web site.  Cookies can make the users online experience easier and more personalized by “remembering” what information a user accesses on a particular web page in order to simplify subsequent interactions with that web site by the same user.  We may use cookie technology to store and sometimes track information about users to our site.  Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser options to prevent it from accepting the cookie.

Log Files
We may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

Sharing
 We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners, subsidiaries and affiliates. We may use outside shipping companies to ship orders, and credit card processing companies to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

We may partner with another party to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third-party to provide these services.

These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.

Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Biokinetics is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this web site.

Surveys
From time-to-time our site may request information from users via a survey. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user, therefore, has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

Security
This web site takes every precaution to protect our users’ personal information under our control from loss, misuse and alteration.  We utilize encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality of user information we collect from unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration or destruction.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of  any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.  Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to ensure security on our systems.  If you have any questions about the security of our web site, please feel free to contact us.

Subscribe/Unsubscribe Options
 We may send all new registering members a welcoming e-mail to verify password and username. From time to time we may send out e-mail updates on products, services, promotions, etc.  Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to not receive these types of communications via an “unsubscribe” option.

Correction/Updating Personal Information:
 If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user’s personal information provided to us. This can be done by updating the "Contact Us" form on this site or “unsubscribing” to our e-mail updates.

Notification of Changes
We reserve the right to change our privacy policy at any time.  We will post those changes on our site so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
