Privacy Policy

CombiMatrix Corp. respects the privacy of visitors to its website, and we recognize your need for appropriate protection and management of personally identifiable information you share with us (any information by which you can be identified, such as name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number). That is why CombiMatrix has established this privacy policy, so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your information.

With respect to this website, CombiMatrix Corp. will only collect, store or use personally identifiable information ("Information"), when it is voluntarily submitted to us. It is our intent to inform you before we do that and to tell you what we intend to do with the information. You will have the option not to provide the information, and in the future you will be able to "opt out" of certain uses of the information.

We will use Information to respond to requests you may make of us, and from time to time, we may refer to Information to better understand your needs and how we can improve our website's products and services. We will not sell Information, use Information for our gain, or share Information with any other company or organization. Any and all uses would comply with all applicable laws.

If you choose not to provide the information we request, you can still visit most of the CombiMatrix website, but you may be unable to access certain options and services. In general, you can visit www.combimatrix.com without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. We track the total number of visitors to our site, the number of visitors to each page of our site, and the domain names of our visitors' Internet service providers and analyze these data for trends and statistics, but the individual user remains anonymous.

Our website has security measures in place, including the use of industry standard secure socket layer encryption (SSL), to protect the confidentiality of any of Information that you volunteer. However, to take advantage of this, your browser must support encryption protection (found in Internet Explorer release 3.0 and above and Netscape Navigator release 3.0 and above). These security measures also help us to honor your choices for the use of Information.

As a convenience to our visitors, this website currently contains links to a number of sites that we believe may offer useful information. The policies and procedures we described here do not apply to those sites. We suggest contacting those sites directly for information on their privacy, security, data collection and distribution policies.

Personal data privacy is a new and evolving area, and CombiMatrix is evolving to meet these demands. Mistakes are possible; miscommunication is possible. If you have any comments or questions regarding our privacy policy, please send an email to us at support@combimatrix.com. We will address any issue to the best of our abilities.

We may update this Website Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do update it, however, for your convenience, we will make the updated policy available on this page.
