Use of Cookies

The MicroGenDX website may use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize MicroGenDX pages, or register with MicroGenDX site or services, a cookie helps MicroGenDX to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same MicroGenDX website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the MicroGenDX features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the MicroGenDX services or websites you visit.

  • SSL Protocol

Information Collection and Use

MicroGenDX ("Us" or "We") is the sole owner of information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to any third parties, except as outlined in this policy. We will collect information that identifies you ("personal information") online only when you voluntarily provide it to us through our site. For example, when you choose to register on our site for our newsletter, we may ask you to provide some personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address, telephone number and/or e-mail address. We also may collect information that will allow you to establish a username and password. In addition, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us through responses to questionnaires, such as customer satisfaction surveys or employment opportunities with MicroGenDX. If you elect to receive our newsletter, surveys or employment opportunities, your contact information will be used for the delivery of these items. However, if you elect not to receive newsletters, surveys or employment opportunities, we may still periodically send other transactional communications to you that contain client relationship information. This includes, for example, informational e-mails regarding changes in our policies, changes in our methods of conducting business or requesting that you review the information we have on file for you or the options that you have previously selected regarding your transactions with us.

We may also gather or receive information on you from third party sources, such as marketing databases made available for commercial purchase. Our use of such information will comply with applicable law, the limitations imposed by the third party on us in connection with our receipt of such information from such third party sources, but not necessarily this privacy statement.

Cookies

In order to provide better service, MicroGenDX may use a "cookie." Cookies are small files that your Web browser places on your computer's hard drive. We may use cookies to let us know that you are a prior customer and to retrieve certain information previously provided by you. We also may use cookies to keep track of information about your current "session" which will be discarded as soon as you log out or close your Web browser. This information also allows us to statistically monitor how many people are using our site and for what purpose.

This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by MicroGenDX only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Log Files

We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We do not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information, and we do not distribute or share IP information with any third parties.

Sharing

We may employ third party companies to perform functions on our behalf. These functions may include order fulfillment, package delivery, marketing assistance, postal and e-mail delivery, client service, data analysis, and credit processing. The third parties we contract for these purposes have limited access to your personal information and may not use it for other purposes. Among such third parties are the two referenced immediately below.

FedEx Corporation

As our business continues to evolve, we may acquire or sell business units or subsidiaries. Customer information is one of the business assets that would be transferred in these types of transactions. In such a situation, your personally identifiable information would only be used in a manner consistent with our pre-existing Privacy Notice.

Be aware that when you volunteer information or create a public profile in the course of your participation in our community features such as forums, user opinions and reviews, chat rooms, photo sharing or other forms of public communication and interaction, you are also agreeing to allow certain aspects of your personally identifiable information to be made public. This includes your screen name, any address or personal information or images that you add to your signature or otherwise post to the public, and any content of any such post.
