Our Disclosure of Your Personal Data and Other Information

The criteria used to determine the applicable retention period for your information includes: (a) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide the website to you; and (b) whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject that requires us to retain your information. When your Personal Data is no longer needed for our business purposes, we dispose of it subject to applicable law.

Links to Other Web Sites

This Privacy Policy applies only to Glyscend’s website. This website may contain links to other web sites not operated or controlled by Glyscend (“External Sites”). The policies and procedures we described here do not apply to External Sites. The links from this website do not imply that Glyscend endorses or has reviewed External Sites. We suggest contacting those sites directly for information on their privacy policies.

Social Media

Through the website, you can choose to access certain social media websites and services that are owned and/or controlled by third parties (including, without limitation, Facebook and Twitter) (such websites and services, collectively, the “Social Media Services”). When you elect to access and use the Social Media Services, you will be sharing your information (which will include personal information if you elect to share such information) with those Social Media Services. As with other External Sites, the information that you share with the Social Media Services will be governed by the privacy policies and terms of service of the providers of such Social Media Services and not by the policies and procedures we describe here. You may also be able to modify your privacy settings with these Social Media Services to, for example, control what information the Social Media Services disclose to other entities, including Glyscend. When you add Social Media Service accounts to the Company Services or log into the website using your Social Media Services account we will collect relevant information necessary to enable the website to access that Social Media Service, however, you will provide your login information, like your password, directly to such Social Media Service (and not to Glyscend). As part of such integration, the Social Media Service will provide Glyscend with access to certain information that you have provided to such Social Media Service, and we will use, store and disclose such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and, if and to the extent applicable, the policies of such Social Media Services. However, please remember that the manner in which Social Media Services use, store and disclose your information is governed by the policies of the applicable Social Media Services provider, and, as a result, Glyscend shall not have any liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of Social Media Services that may be enabled within and/or otherwise accessible through the website.

Security

Glyscend takes reasonable steps to protect the Personal Data provided via the website from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet or e-mail transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, email sent to or from this website may not be secure, so we do not guarantee that your Personal Data will be secure from theft, loss, or unauthorized access or use, and we make no representation as to the efficacy, or appropriateness of the technical, administrative and procedural measures we use to safeguard such data. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any Personal Data to Glyscend via the Internet.

Cross Border Data Transfers

Glyscend’s website is hosted, controlled and operated by us from inside the United States and therefore is not intended to subject the Company to the laws or jurisdiction of any country other than that of the United States. Any Personal Data that you provide to us through this website may be accessed, processed, stored, or transferred between or in countries other than the United States which may not guarantee the same level of protection for personal data as the one in which you reside.

 Changes to Company’s Privacy Policy

The website and our business may change from time to time. As a result, at times it may be necessary for Glyscend to make changes to this Privacy Policy.  Glyscend reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time and from time to time without prior notice. Please review this policy periodically, and especially before you provide any Personal Data. This Privacy Policy was last updated on the date indicated above. If the Privacy Policy changes in a way that significantly affects how we handle or use your personal data, we will not use the personal data we previously gathered in the manner described in the new Privacy Policy without providing notice and/or obtaining your consent. Minor changes to the Privacy Policy may occur that will not significantly affect our use of personal data without notice or consent. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. Your continued use of the website after any changes or revisions to this Privacy Policy shall indicate your agreement with the terms of such revised Privacy Policy.
