Privacy Policy
Welcome to www.sterrad.com, www.cidex.com, www.evotechecr.com, and www.aspaer.com. This site is owned by Advanced Sterilization
Products. This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding
collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may provide via this
site. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting
information to this site. This site is governed solely by applicable United
States laws and governmental regulations. Use of this site constitutes your
consent to application of such laws and regulations and to our Privacy Policy.
Your Consent
By using this site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever
you submit information via this site, you consent to the collection, use, and
disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
About Children
This site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly
collect information from site visitors in this age group. We encourage parents
to talk to their children about their use of the Internet and the information
they disclose to websites.
Active Information Collection
Like many websites, this site actively collects information from its visitors
both by asking you specific questions and by permitting you to communicate directly
with us via e-mail, feedback forms, and/or chat rooms. Some of the information
that you submit may be personally identifiable information (that is, information
that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address, e-mail
address, phone number, and so on).
Information You Provide
Some areas of this site may require you to submit information in order for you
to benefit from the specified features (such as newsletter subscriptions, tips/pointers,
order processing) or to participate in a particular activity (such as sweepstakes
or other promotions). You will be informed at each information collection point
what information is required and what information is optional.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through this site, certain anonymous information can 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). Your
Internet browser automatically transmits to this site some of this anonymous
information, such as the URL of the Web site 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.
This site may use and combine such passively collected anonymous 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 the site for your use. Such information is not combined with
personally identifiable information collected elsewhere on the site unless you
have consented.
A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends to your Web browser
that helps the site 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 (such as
passwords), helping to determine what areas of the Web site visitors find most
valuable, and customizing the Web site based on your preferences on an ongoing
basis. Persistent cookies placed by this site on your computer may hold
personally identifiable information, but only if you have registered or have
otherwise consented to the retention of personally identifiable information you
have provided at the site. Otherwise, our site’s server only knows that an
unidentified visitor with your cookie has returned to the site.
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.
A site may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An 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 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.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, we may use your information to improve the content
of our site, to customize the site to your preferences, to communicate information
to you (if you have requested it), for our marketing and research purposes,
and for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. If you provide personally
identifiable information to this site, we may combine such information with
other actively collected information unless we specify otherwise at the point
of collection. We will take reasonable measures to prevent personally identifiable
information from being combined with passively collected information, unless
you consent otherwise. We may disclose your personally identifiable information
to other Johnson & Johnson affiliates worldwide that agree to treat it in
accordance with this Privacy Policy. In addition, we may disclose your personally
identifiable information to third parties, located in the United States and/or
any other country, but only
(i) to contractors we use to support our business (eg, fulfillment services,
technical support, delivery services, and financial institutions), in which
case we will require such third parties to agree to treat it in accordance with
this Privacy Policy;
(ii) in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of the business
of this site to which the information relates, in which case we will require
any such buyer to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy;
or
(iii) where required by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations.
In addition, we will make full use of all information acquired through this
site that is not in personally identifiable form.
Access and Correction
To keep your personally identifiable information accurate, current, and complete,
please contact us as specified below. We will take reasonable steps to update
or correct personally identifiable information in our possession that you have
previously submitted via this site.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable information
as you transmit your information from your computer to our site and to protect
such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration,
or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever
100% secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this site may
not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information
you send to us via e-mail. Moreover, where you use passwords, ID numbers, or
other special access features on this site, it is your responsibility to safeguard
them.
Links to Other websites
This site may contain links or references to other websites. Please be aware
that we do not control other websites and that, in any case, this Privacy Policy
does not apply to those websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy
of every website you visit.
Other Terms
Your use of this site is subject to our Legal Notice.
