This is a security measure to safeguard against your personal data being disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request.

ZyMōt Fertility has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information collected through the Sites, both during transmission and once we receive it. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know the same. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In the event a data security incident does occur, ZyMōt Fertility has adopted a Data Security Incident Response Policy.

A California resident who has provided personal information to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (“California customer”) is entitled to request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third party’s direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal information, upon receipt of a request by a California customer, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed. However, under the law, a business is not required to provide the above-described lists if the business adopts and discloses to the public (in
its privacy policy) a policy of not disclosing customer’s personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure, as long as the business maintains and discloses this policy. Rather, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of personal information and providing a cost free means to exercise that right. ZyMōt Fertility does not share, sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless you affirmatively agree to such disclosure. California customers may request further information about our compliance with this law by emailing info@zymotfertility.com. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through this e-mail address. In addition, under California law, website operators are required to disclose how they respond to Web browser “do not track” signals or other similar mechanisms. Currently, ZyMōt Fertility’s practice is to continue to track users after a consumer has enabled a “do not track” signal. This law also requires website operators to disclose whether third parties may collect personally identifiable information about their users’ online activities over time and across different Sites when the users use the operator’s website. ZyMōt Fertility does not knowingly permit third parties to collect personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across different Web sites when a consumer uses our Sites.
If we make material changes to our Privacy Policy, we will, where required, contact you via the email address that you have submitted to us. We may also post those changes through a prominent notice on the www.zymotfertility.com website so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and to whom we will disclose it.
Our Sites may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we do not endorse and are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. The Privacy Policy presented here does not apply to such sites. You should contact these sites directly for information on their privacy policies and data collection/distribution procedures.
