Through this website, Dermadry may:
- Collect your Name and Personal Contact Information if you opt-in to receive communications (such as requests for information, responses to inquiries, newsletters, etc.). Dermadry may also use this information to verify your relationship with Dermadry and take other actions to respond to your request.
- Collect online identifiers that correspond to your device(s) that do not directly identify you to improve, manage and secure our websites, network systems and other assets; verify your relationship with us; understand your interests and preferences; take other actions that may be necessary to respond to your request.
- Analyze your website usage, including the date and time of your website session, geographic location, how you have navigated the website and other information collected through our web beacons, cookies, third-party and digital advertising, Google Analytics® and social media plug-ins. This information is collected for our legitimate business purposes.
Web beacons: A web beacon (also known as an "action tag" or "clear GIF technology") is a tiny graphic on a web page or in an email message designed to track pages viewed or messages opened, and allows the collection of web log information. Web log information is gathered by the computer that hosts our website (called a "webserver") when you visit one of our sites. We may use web beacons to help determine which email messages sent by us were opened and whether a message was acted upon. Web beacons also help Dermadry analyze the effectiveness of websites by measuring the number of visitors to a site or how many visitors clicked on key elements of a site.
Cookies: A cookie is a small data file that a website can place on your computer's hard drive where your internet browser files are kept. A cookie saves you the trouble of reentering certain information in some registration areas because cookies can be used to enable a site to "remember" information a visitor has previously inputted. A cookie also helps deliver content and features likely to be of interest to you, based on your previous activities on our site, and track how sections of the website are used. Cookies can be placed on your computer both by us and by third parties with whom we have a relationship, such as web analytic services and advertising network services. In addition, cookies may be used to remarket employment opportunities to you in the United States. With most internet browsers or other software, you can change your browser settings to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please check your browser instructions to learn more about these functions. If you reject cookies, the functionality of the site may be limited, and you may not be able to take advantage of many of the site's features.
Choices about Cookies: If you would like to opt-out of, or manage, cookies used for targeted advertising, you may do so by following the options provided by the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance. Ads displayed to you using this technology will usually have an AdChoices logo in the corner, which you can also click on to begin the same opt-out process. Additionally, if you receive ads on a social media site, you can check that site's privacy statement and terms of use to determine how to stop seeing such ads. The European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance keeps a website where people can opt-out of receiving interest-based advertising from some or all of the network advertising companies participating in the program. You can find information about the EDAA here.
Do Not Track: There are different ways you can prevent tracking of your online activity. One of them is setting a preference in your browser that alerts websites you visit that you do not want them to collect certain information about you. This is referred to as a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") signal. Please note that currently, our websites and web-based resources do not respond to these signals from web browsers. At this time, there is no universally accepted standard for what a company should do when a DNT signal is detected.
Third-Party and Digital Advertising: We may partner with third-party advertising networks to manage our advertising on other sites. Our ad network partners may place cookies and web beacons and similar digital markers on your browser when you visit our websites to collect information about your activities over time on this and third-party sites, apps and other online services, to provide you targeted advertising based upon your interests. We may also share PI about you with third parties to have those third parties, on our behalf, directly serve advertising to you on their websites.
Google Analytics: Google Analytics may be used to help make our website work better and to help us understand what parts of the site are being utilized. Google Analytics uses technical tools such as first-party cookies and JavaScript® code to collect information about visitors. The Google Analytics service tracks visitors to the site who have JavaScript enabled. Google Analytics anonymously tracks how visitors interact with a website, including where they came from and what they did on a site. Google Analytics collects the information set forth above from users. This information is used to administer and update the website, and we will assess whether the visitors to the site match the expected site demographics and determine how key audiences are navigating the content. First-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) will be used to report how your ad impressions, other uses of ad services and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to this site.
Opt-Out Provision: Google Analytics offers an opt-out provision for website visitors who do not want their data to be collected. You can receive more information about this option here.
Google's Use of Data: Google and its wholly-owned subsidiaries may retain and use, subject to the terms of its Privacy Policy (located here, or at another such URL that Google may provide from time to time), information collected in your use of the Google Analytics Information Disclosures and Sharing.
Social Media Plug-ins: Our websites may use social media plug-ins to enable you to share information with others easily. When you visit our websites, the operator of the social media plug-in that is on our website can place a cookie on your computer that lets that operator recognize individuals on their website who have previously visited our sites. Social media plug-ins may allow social media websites to receive directly identifiable information about you that shows you have visited our website. The social media plug-in may collect this information for visitors, whether or not they specifically interact with the plug-in on our website. Social media plug-ins also allow the social media website to share information about your activities on our website with other users of their social media website. Dermadry does not control any of the content from social media plug-ins. For more information about social plug-ins from social media websites, you should refer to those sites' privacy and data sharing statements.

In the event that Dermadry may decide to reorganize or divest part or all of its business, including its information databases, through a sale, divestiture, merger, acquisition or other means of transfer, then PI may be shared with, sold, transferred, rented, licensed or otherwise provided or made available by Dermadry to third parties in connection with the contemplated transaction (without your consent or any further notice to you).

Where We Transfer and Work With PI
This website is owned and operated by Dermadry in Canada. However, any information collected on this website may be transferred to other third parties worldwide. Some of these third parties may be located in countries that do not require the same level of data protection as the country where you reside. Nevertheless, all third parties are required to treat PI in a manner consistent with applicable law. As explained in the "Reasons We Share PI" section above, PI may be shared as appropriate with third parties that process information on behalf of, or with, Dermadry. If we disclose PI to a third party, Dermadry ensures that the third party has contractual provisions that require an appropriate level of security and confidentiality safeguards as provided by Dermadry. By using this website, you consent to the collection, storage and processing of your PI in the United States and in any country to which we may transfer your information in the course of our business operations.

How We Secure PI
We provide reasonable physical, technical and procedural safeguards to protect PI we work with and maintain. We limit access to PI to authorized employees and third parties who need access to carry out their assigned roles and responsibilities on behalf of Dermadry. Although we strive to protect the PI that we work with and maintain, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches.

There may be exceptions that apply to your request.
