ACD uses various technologies to collect personal information about users of clinical-tech.com. ACD may utilize cookies. Cookies are small text files dropped on your browser or device by a website. Cookies uniquely identify your account or device with advancedcritical.com and our 3rd party vendors to track usage patterns and deliver personalized content to you. You can control the use of cookies through your browser settings. As is true of most websites, ACD gathers information automatically and stores it in log files; this information may include IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp and/or clickstream data.

If you enable a location-based service in your browser, ACD may collect information about your location to identify and analyze regional data relevant to ACD needs and services. Your browser or device may use various technologies to determine location, such as sensor data from your device that may provide information on nearby Wi-Fi access points and cell towers. You may opt-out of geo-location collection by changing the setting of your browser or device.

ACD may also use other tracking technologies such as local shared objects (such as session storage), tags, scripts and session replay/capture. These technologies are used to analyze trends, remember your settings between visits for your convenience, administer the sites, track your movement around the sites and to gather demographic information about our user base. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies from companies such as Google Analytics.

advancedcritical.com may offer a public area for users to share posts, comments, blogs, or testimonials. Any personal information you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them. To request removal of personal information from our blog or community forum, contact info@clinical-tech.com.

ACD may need to share information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of ACD if there is concern that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of that information is reasonably necessary to meet applicable laws, regulations, legal processes or enforceable governmental requests; enforce applicable terms of use, including investigation of potential violations; detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of our users, ACD, or the public as required or permitted by law; or to engage in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or a portion of ACD assets.

Where appropriate or legally required, we will describe how your information that we collect will be used and will provide choices about whether to allow us to engage in that use.

ACD’s website advancedcritical.com is not intended for any user under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. We request that children under the age of 13 not submit any personal information through clinical-tech.com or other ACD run accounts such as linkedin, pinterest, facebook, and other 3rd party sites/pages associated with ACD.

ACD and our website developers have established appropriate physical, electronic and administrative safeguards to protect the information collected from or about our users. We restrict access to personal information to ACD employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information to process it for us, and who are subject to confidentiality obligations.

Any sensitive personal information (e.g., credit card number) will be transmitted in an encrypted form using SSL encryption. Notwithstanding our security safeguards, it is impossible to guarantee 100% security in all circumstances. If you have any questions about security or have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, you believe that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), you must immediately notify us of the problem by contacting Advanced Critical Devices at info@clinical-tech.com.

Some U.S. state privacy laws require specific disclosures.

This Privacy Notice is designed to help you understand how ACD handles your information:

• We explain the categories of information ACD collects and the sources of that information.
• We explain the purposes for which ACD collects and uses information.
• We explain when ACD may disclose information. ACD does not sell your personal information. ACD also does not “share” your personal information as that term is defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
• We explain how ACD retains information.

U.S. state privacy laws also provide the right to request information about how ACD collects, uses, discloses and gives you the right to request that ACD delete your information. Many of these laws also provide the right to opt out of certain forms of profiling and targeted advertising. They also provide the right to not be discriminated against for exercising these privacy rights. Additionally, the CCPA treats certain kinds of information, like health data, as sensitive; when users provide this information, ACD only uses it for purposes permitted by the CCPA, such as to provide services that are requested and expected by our users.

The Washington My Health My Data Act and Nevada Senate Bill 370 provide specific rights in addition to those rights above, that apply to health information. When you provide this information, ACD only processes it with your consent and allows you to withdraw your consent.

We describe the choices you have to manage your privacy and data. These tools allow you to access, review, update and delete your information.

If you have questions or requests related to your rights under U.S. state privacy laws, including the CCPA, you (or your authorized agent) can also contact Advanced Critical Devices at info@clinical-tech.com.

Some U.S. state privacy laws also require a description of data practices using specific categories. This Privacy Notice is organized by category to comply with this requirement. If you have questions or requests related to the categories of information we collect, the business purposes for which information may be used or disclosed or the parties with whom information may be disclosed, you (or your authorized agent) can contact Advanced Critical Devices at info@clinical-tech.com.

Changes to this Privacy Notice. We may periodically update this Privacy Notice on a quarterly basis to describe new features, products or services we offer and how it may affect our use of personal information about you and your controls. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Notice without your explicit consent. We always indicate the date the last changes were published.
