Sciton collects personal information from e-mails, faxes, telephone inquiries, correspondence, web forms, surveys, and other means of communication. We collect such information when you agree to purchase or order or avail yourself of goods or services, registration for a service (e.g. user groups, seminars, and trade shows), to track warranty rights and obligations, to provide product information, and other lawful purposes. We may collect the following personally identifiable information from you which may include, but may not be limited to:

  • Your name

  • E-mail address

  • Mailing address

  • Phone number

  • Medical specialty

  • Practice name

  • Geographic location

We honor “Do Not Track” requests to the extent a user activates a “do not track” tool through his or her web browser, but otherwise, Sciton does not have a separate program or plug-in.

Consent

We obtain the requisite consent prior to collecting and, in any case, prior to using or disclosing your personal information for any purpose. You may provide your consent to us orally, in writing, by electronic communication, or any other means reasonably capable of conveying your consent. We will obtain your express consent if we collect, use or disclose sensitive information. Except when otherwise permitted by law, we will only use the information for the purpose for which it was given.

When your consent is required, you can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us at the address noted below.  However, the withdrawal of your consent may adversely affect our ability to provide products and services to you and to maintain our relationship.

In certain circumstances, as permitted or required by law, we may collect, use, or disclose personal information without your knowledge or consent. These circumstances include (where applicable) information about individuals that is publicly available, where collection or use is clearly in the interests of the individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way, to investigate a breach or a contravention of a law, to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or as required or otherwise permitted by law.

We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization other than as necessary to fulfill your requests, e.g., to ship a product to you, or as required by law.

We may keep a record of your personal information, including correspondence or comments. We will utilize, disclose, or retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and for legal or business requirements.
