Privacy and Security
Huron Digital Pathology (“Huron”) is committed to protecting your personal information. This statement explains our practices for this Web site.

What Personal Information We Gather
We gather personal information that we need to know when you ask us to do something for you. For example, if you ask us to send you our newsletter, we need to know and store your email address. We will always ask for your permission and tell you how we’re going to use your personal information first. You can always choose not to provide it.

How We Use It
We only use the personal information we gather for purposes that you have agreed to, for example, to send you a newsletter. We do not collect personal information about any of our site’s visitors unless the visitor authorizes us to do so.

Who Has Access to It
Only people within Huron who need to access your personal information can access it; for example, the people who send a newsletter need to know your email address.

How We Share It
We do not sell or provide your personal information to any third parties.

We might share your personal information under the following circumstances:

• We have your consent.
• We are required to share customer information by law, to protect the interests of the company or in the discharge of public duty.
• We need to share your personal information with a business partner in order to provide a service you have requested. Our business partner’s use of your information is restricted to the delivery of the service you have requested.

How You Change or Remove It
You have the ability to change your personal information that we retain. We try to keep your personal information accurate and up to date. If you’d like to change or remove your personal information, please contact us at [email protected].

Security
We use security measures to safeguard your personal information.

• All the personal information you provide us is stored in a secure computing environment protected by secure firewalls to prevent unauthorized access.
• We control access so that only people who need to access the information can. All staff of Huron are required to adhere to a confidentiality agreement.

Credit Cards
We do accept credit card payments for registrations. If someone uses your credit card to make an unauthorized purchase, check with the institution that issued your card to find out what the exact liability is.

Email
If you send us an email, we may save it if we think we’ll need it to communicate with you. We never sell or share email addresses. Remember, email is not a secure way to send personal information because it is not encrypted. Please don’t send any personal information to us using email.

Cookies
Our Web site stores information in a small text file, called a cookie, on your computer. We use what is called a “persistent cookie,” which is stored as a file on your computer and remains there when you close your Web browser. The cookie can only be read by the Web site that created it when you visit that site again.

Our Use of Cookies
Huron stores a unique number (not any personal information) in the cookie that we place on your computer. We use this cookie to determine if you have visited the site before, and to ensure you are only prompted once to fill in certain forms such as our Newsletter form. The information we store in the cookie does not include data such as your name, company, email address, telephone number, state/province, country.

Note: If you do not allow cookies to be saved on your computer, you will not be able to download information from this site.

Security Concerns
Once the cookie is saved on your computer, our Web site is the only site that can access and read the information that you provide. Huron will not provide this information to any third parties or use it for sending unsolicited email.

Java and Javascript
Java is a language that allows different kinds of computers to talk to each other. We use Java technology to provide functionality such as navigation menus and forms. You will still be able to use this Web site if you have Java or Javascript disabled, but some functionality may not be available.

Changes to this Statement
We may amend this privacy and security statement. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal information, we will notify you by posting a prominent announcement on this Web site.
