Collection of Personal Information

“Personal Information” is information that directly identifies you or could reasonably be used in combination with other information to identify you and which is submitted to and/or collected by Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. web sites and maintained by or for Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. in an accessible form. Examples of Personal Information that directly identify you can include your name, driver’s license number, social security number, biometric or genetic data, street address, telephone number, email address and other similar information. Examples of Personal Information that when combined with other information may be able to identify you include race, gender, date of birth, health condition or status, employment status, zip code and other similar information. Both types of information are considered “Personal Information” for the purposes of this policy.

Please do not submit any Personal Information if you do not want it to be collected. You should be aware, however, that without providing requested information, you may not be able to participate in particular features or activities that require such information.

Certain areas of our websites allow you to contact us to ask questions or provide comments or other information. Please be aware that when you ask questions or provide comments or other information, you may be disclosing Personal Information.

Non-Personal Information is information that is not personal, such as questions, comments, ideas and suggestions that you provide, or information that we may collect that is not linked to any Personal Information. Non-Personal Information will be treated as non-confidential, and we may disclose and/or use that information without any obligation whatsoever to you, for any purpose and through any means.

How Personal Information may be used

If you provide us with Personal Information, we may use that information to contact you by e-mail, regular mail, telephone or other means, to provide you with information you requested about specific products or services, provide additional future information about products or services that may be of interest to you, and to learn about and develop products and services concerning a particular disease or condition (e.g. market research). Other or additional information about use of your Personal Information may appear at the point where you are asked to provide Personal Information in a form or data field.

Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. may combine your Personal Information provided on one Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. web site with Personal Information provided in other online or offline records held by Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc., and/or with records provided by third parties. Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. may also combine your Personal Information with information gathered through cookies, web logs, pixel tags and other visitor tracking technologies, discussed further below. We use this consolidated information to help us better design Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. websites and products, to communicate information to you, to enhance our marketing and research activities, and to facilitate other business functions.

Visitor tracking information

Cookies
Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. websites may use a tracking technology called a “cookie.” A “cookie” is a small text file that a website can place on your computer’s hard drive in order, for example, to collect information about your activities on the site, to track your preferences and selections, or to show you advertisements based on your interests, such as banner ads relating to Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. products and services. Cookies may be placed on your computer by Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. (a “first party cookie”) or by another company or advertiser that Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. engages to provide services or advertising on a Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. website (a “third party cookie”). It is possible that these cookies could be used in combination with other information to identify you.

Information stored in first party cookies associated with a Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. web site will be transmitted back to us. Information stored in third party cookies may be transmitted to the party placing the cookie, so that they can deliver to you messages and advertisements based on your interests as you browse the Internet. You may be able to opt-out of third parties using cookies to deliver interest-based advertising to you by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices/. With most internet browsers, you can also erase cookies from your computer’s hard drive, block all cookies, block specific kinds of cookies, or even receive a warning before a cookie is placed on your system. Refer to your browser instructions or help button to learn more about cookies. You should be aware, however, that cookies might be necessary to provide you with certain features (e.g. customized delivery of information) available on Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. websites. In addition, certain web browsers and other programs may be used to signal your preferences to Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. about how or whether Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. or third parties may collect information about your online activities. Currently, Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. does not respond to such signals.

Web Logs
Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. websites may also automatically collect and store web log information relating to your computer and your visit, such as the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet; the Internet address of the website from which you linked to a Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. website; the date and time you accessed a Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. website, how long you spent and which pages you visited; your computer’s operating system and browser software; and your Internet protocol (IP) address. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider so you can access the Internet. This number may change each time you connect to the internet (“dynamic IP address”) or it may remain constant (“static IP address”). If you have a static IP address, it is possible that this address could be used in combination with other information to identify you.

Pixel Tags
Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. websites may also track your usage of the site through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs or web beacons). A pixel tag is a tiny graphic on a web page that is used to track pages viewed. Pixel tags tell the web site server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor’s computer. Pixel tags may be placed on online advertisements that bring people to a Vdex Diabetes Holdings, Inc. website and on different pages of our sites. Web beacons provide us with information on how many times a page is opened and which information is consulted.

Social Plugins
This site may use social plugins (e.g., the Facebook “Like” button) to enable you to easily share information with others. When you visit our site, the operator of the social plugin may be able to place a cookie on your computer, enabling that operator to recognize individuals who have previously visited our site. If you are logged into the associated social media web site (e.g., Facebook) while browsing on our web site, the social plugin allows that social media web site to receive information that you have visited our web site. The social plugin may also allow the social media web site to share information about your activities on our web site with other users of their social media web site. For more information about the information shared via a particular social media plugin, you should refer to that social media site’s privacy statement.

Google Analytics
Some of our websites use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze use patterns and may collect information about your use of the website, including your IP address. More information on Google Analytics can be found here: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
