1. Privacy Statement; Collection of Personally Identifiable Information ("PII"). Probiant LLC ("Probiant") operates this website. All references to "we", "us", this "website" or this "site" shall be construed to mean Probiant. We understand that visitors to this website are concerned about the privacy of information. The following describes our privacy policy regarding information that we collect through this website, including OUR COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION THAT MAY PERSONALLY IDENTIFY YOU (which we refer to in this Privacy Policy as "PII").
2. Modification of Privacy Policy.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, and
without prior notice, by posting an amended Privacy Policy that is
always accessible by clicking on the "Privacy Policy" link on this
site's home page. Your continued use of this site indicates your
acceptance of the amended Privacy Policy. You should check the
Privacy Policy through this link periodically for modifications by
clicking on the link provided near the top of the Privacy Policy for a

Regarding PII, if any modifications are materially less restrictive on
our use or disclosure of the PII previously disclosed by you, we will
obtain your consent before implementing such revisions with respect to
such information.
3. Collection of Anonymous, Passive Information.
We reserve the right to monitor your use of this site. As you
navigate through this site, certain anonymous information may be
passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing
the information) using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet
tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection (log files,
server logs, clickstream). For example, as explained in more detail
below, your Internet browser automatically transmits to this site some
of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the website you just
came from and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser
version your computer is currently using. This site may also collect
anonymous information from your computer through cookies and Internet
tags or web beacons. You may set your browser to notify you when a
cookie is sent or to refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of
this site might not work without cookies.
The following is a listing and a brief explanation of passive information
collection methodologies which we may use from time to time to better
understand how this site is being used.
A
"cookie" is a bit of information that this site sends to your Web
browser which helps us remember information about you and your
preferences.
"Session"
cookies are temporary bits of information that are used to improve
navigation, block visitors from providing information where
inappropriate (the site "remembers" previous entries of age or country
of origin that were outside the specified parameters and blocks
subsequent changes), and collect aggregate statistical information on
the site. They are erased once you exit your Web browser or otherwise
turn off your computer.
"Persistent"
cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the
hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the
cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a
number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have
previously provided, helping to determine what areas of the site you
may find most valuable, and customizing the site based on your
preferences on an ongoing basis. Persistent cookies placed by this site
in your computer do not hold PII.
You
can set your browser to accept all cookies, to reject all cookies, or
to notify you whenever a cookie is offered so that you can decide each
time whether to accept it. To learn more about cookies and how to
specify your preferences, please search for "cookie" in the "Help"
portion of your browser.
An
Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number assigned to your computer by
your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is
generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information,
because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you
connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular
user's computer). The IP address can be used to diagnose problems with
a server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for
your computer to use in connecting to a site, and administer and
improve the site..
"Internet
tags" (also known as Web Beacons, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs,
invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the
Web site server information such as the IP address and browser type
related to the visitor's computer. Tags may be placed both on online
advertisements that bring people to the site and on different pages of
the site. Such tags indicate how many times a page is opened and which
information is consulted.
"Navigational
data" (log files, server logs, and clickstream data) are used for
system management, to improve the content of the site, market research
purposes, and to communicate information to visitors.
4. Use and Sharing of Anonymous, Passive Information.
This site may make full use of passively collected anonymous
information through the collection methods described above for our own
internal operational purposes, including without limitation the right
to use such information to provide better service to site visitors,
customize the site based on your preferences, compile and analyze
statistics and trends, and otherwise administer and improve this site
for your use. We reserve the right to share this information in
the same manner as provided below for PII.
5. Use of Anonymous, Passive Information For Behavioral Ad Serving Purposes. WE
RESERVE THE RIGHT TO USE ANONYMOUS, PASSIVE INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT
ON THIS SITE FOR PURPOSES OF SERVING THIRD-PARTY ADS THAT ARE TARGETED
TO YOUR INTERESTS (“Behavioral Ads”). Behavioral Ads do not
identify you personally. Instead, they associate your behavioral
data with your IP address, so that the ads your computer sees on this
site are more likely to be relevant to your interests. This is
accomplished by serving you a cookie containing a tracking code.
YOU MAY REFUSE THE USE OF COOKIES BY SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE SETTINGS
ON YOUR BROWSER; HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU DO THIS YOU MAY NOT
BE ABLE TO USE THE FULL FUNCTIONALITY OF THIS SITE. BY USING THIS

6. Use of 3rd Party Cookies.
THIS WEBSITE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO USE WEB ANALYTICS SERVICES OF THIRD

cookies (sometimes referred to as 3rd party cookies) which are text
files placed on your computer, to help us analyze how users use this
site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this
site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by
the third party analytics service on servers in the United States.
These services will use this information for the purpose of evaluating

such third parties process the information on the service’s behalf.
These third party analytics services will not associate your IP address
with any other data held by them. YOU MAY REFUSE THE USE OF COOKIES BY
SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE SETTINGS ON YOUR BROWSER; HOWEVER, PLEASE
NOTE THAT IF YOU DO THIS YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE FULL
FUNCTIONALITY OF THIS SITE. BY USING THIS SITE, YOU CONSENT TO THE

In the event that we are acquired by or merged with a third party
entity, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to
transfer or assign the information we have collected from our users as
part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In
the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the
application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors' rights
generally, we may not be able to control how your PII is treated,
transferred, or used.
