Our Privacy Policy promises never to sell, rent, barter or share with any third party, personally-identifying information collected during your use of the Site without your prior permission. From time to time we may reveal general statistical information about our Site and visitors, such as number of visitors, number and type of goods and services purchased, etc., but we will never reference you by name or specific address. Your trust and confidence are our highest priority. This Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how this site collects, uses and safeguards the personal information you provide to CRYO, to assist you in making purchases, and to give you an opportunity to make informed choices about the management of personal information about you.
Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure correct use of information, CRYO ASSOCIATES™ has partnered with a number of experts to employ the highest standard of Internet security methods and technologies. The system uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to protect all sensitive personal information including credit card number, name and address. This information is then encrypted, using 128-bit encryption, both as it transmitted to, and stored in the CRYO database. In short before your information ever leaves your PC, it is encrypted and protected by our security measures.
Information collected by CRYO ASSOCIATES™ is stored in a single, secure database, accessible only by CRYO ASSOCIATES™ management.
Other communications you may have with CRYO ASSOCIATES™ Inc. via telephone, email or letter may not be secure unless CRYO Inc. advises you that security measures are in place prior to your sending information. Therefore, if you choose to communicate with CRYO ASSOCIATES™. through these means, you are assuming the risk of doing so and CRYO ASSOCIATES™. requests that you do not send or post sensitive information through these means.
Any changes to our Privacy Policy will be communicated through our Site at least 10 days in advance of implementation. Information collected before changes are made will be secured according to the previous Privacy Policy.
