Privacy Policy
Biotech Studios is committed to protecting your privacy. That
is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy
is intended to describe how your personal information is processed
and used, and we will make every effort to ensure that our activities
keep within the spirit of this Privacy Policy. Please
note that by visiting and using biotechstudios.com, you are
accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
What Information is Biotech Studios gathering about
its visitors and how is it being used?
Every computer connected to the Internet is provided with a
domain name (e.g. earthlink.net) and an IP Address (e.g. 65.15.36.78).
When a visitor requests a page from within the Biotech website,
our Web Servers automatically identify and log the HTTP request
that is made to our Web Server. This information reveals nothing
personal about you. In fact, the only information that we automatically
gather and log is as follows:• The IP Address of the Site
that may have Referred you.
Your IP Address
The Web Page that you may have linked to us from, if any.
The Product Identifier for Version and Make of Browser (e.g.
Internet Explorer 5.0)
The Operating System platform that you may be running (e.g.
Macintosh or Windows)
Search Words or Terms that are passed from a Search Engine (e.g.
Google, Yahoo, or Lycos).
There is absolutely nothing special about the information just
described, and the practice of collecting this data has been
generally standardized by virtually every Web Server on the
Internet today.
The purpose for this information is actually two-fold. One,
Biotech Studios has found it advantageous to examine visitor
traffic in its aggregate, so that we can ensure maximum compatibility
for the various Browsers and Operating Systems that visit our
site. Additionally, as any business should attest, it is our
desire to generate greater amounts of visitor traffic. By analyzing
visitation patterns, referring URLs and Search Engine terms,
we can strategically enhance our exposure on the Internet.
What about Cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data that are transferred to your
computer's hard drive through your Web browser from our Web
Server. A cookie cannot read data from your hard disk or read
cookie files that may have been created from other sites. The
Biotech Studios website utilizes cookies as a means of providing
personalization features to our visitors. For example, we utilize
cookies to remember settings (background music selections, wallpapers
preferences, etc.) that you may have made at our website.
You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings
of your browser. Typically, by accessing the browser's help
feature you can obtain information on how to prevent your browser
from accepting all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is
being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, your
experience at our website and other websites may be diminished
and some features may not work as intended.
What other information does Biotech Studios request?
We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for
the purposes of conducting a survey, adding you to our mailing
list, or by your request to have someone contact you for additional
information. Whenever we request the identity of a visitor,
we will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the
information is requested. We maintain a strict "No Spam"
policy that means we do not intend to sell, rent, or otherwise
give your e-mail address to a third-party, without your consent.
In addition, Biotech Studios will not send you e-mail that you
have not agreed to receive. If you are a member of our Mailing
List, you will be contacted with announcements, news, portfolio
additions, and new products or services. You have the option
of "Unsubscribing" from our Mailing List at any time,
thereby disabling any further such e-mail communication from
being sent to you. If you wish to have specific communications
with a member of the Biotech Studios staff, you will be required
to provide specific information that will be routed to the appropriate
contact within Biotech Studios.
What information does Biotech Studios collect when I
purchase something?
If you purchase something, such as a T-Shirt, we need to obtain
the appropriate information in order to complete the transaction.
Depending upon the method of payment that you select and your
location, the required information may vary. However, generally
speaking we will need:
Your Name
Billing Address (for Credit Card Orders)
Shipping Address
E-Mail Address
Phone Number
Credit Card Number (for Credit Card Orders)
Expiration Date (for Credit Card Orders).
We use shopping cart features that safeguard this information
by using industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypted
servers. SSL encodes the information transferred between you
and the server, rendering it unreadable to anyone trying to
intercept the information.
Will Biotech Studios disclose the information collected
to Third Parties?
Biotech Studios will disclose your personal information or any
of its log file information when required by law or in the good-faith
belief that such actions are necessary to:
1. Conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process
served on Biotech Studios.
2. Protect and defend the rights or property of Biotech Studios,
or visitors of Biotech Studios.
3. Identify persons who may be violating the law, the legal
notice, or the rights of third parties.
4. Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities.
Biotech Studios uses reasonable precautions to keep the information
disclosed to us secure. Biotech Studios reserves the right to
transfer information in connection with the sale of all or part
of Biotech Studios capital stock or assets to any third party.
Furthermore, we are not responsible for any breach of security
or for any actions of any third parties that receive the information.
Biotech Studios also provides "links" to a wide variety
of other web sites on the Internet. We are not responsible for
their Privacy Policies or how those web sites manage information
about their users. We strongly urge you to check with those
web sites to determine their privacy policy.
Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted on this page
so that you are always aware of the information that we collect,
how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
