There is also information about your computer hardware and software that may automatically be collected by Biota. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by Biota to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Biota Web site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Biota public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Biota does not read any of your private online communications.

Biota encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from the Biota Website so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. Biota is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Biota Web site or sites.

The collection, use, and disclosure of information contemplated in this Privacy Policy may involve a transfer of the information to jurisdictions located outside your country of residence that may not have equivalent laws and rules regarding personally identifiable information. In these cases, you will be asked to consent to such transfers and disclosures in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Use of your Personal Information:
Biota may collect and use your personal information to operate the Biota Web site and deliver the services you have requested. Biota may also use your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Biota and its affiliates. Biota may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Biota does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Biota may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Biota may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Biota and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Biota does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

Biota keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within Biota website, in order to determine what Biota services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Biota to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Biota Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Biota or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Biota; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Biota Website, or the public.

Use of Cookies:
The Biota Web site may use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Biota Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Biota features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Biota Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information:
Biota secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Biota secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement:
Biota will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Biota encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Biota is protecting your information. Please check back periodically, and especially before you provide any personally identifiable information.
