Last Updated: May 1, 2024
Introduction
This Privacy Policy is effective between Concha Labs™, Inc., a Delaware Corporation that owns and operates Concha Labs™ (collectively referred to herein as “Concha Labs™,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) and any user of our website (the “Site”) located at www.conchalabs.com (such users referred to herein as “you,” or “your”).
Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your privacy online. This Privacy Policy describes the practices used by us in the collection, use, and sharing of your information gathered by your use of the Site. By accessing and using the Site, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.
If you do not agree to any aspect of these terms, please exit this page and do not access or use the Site.
NOTE ON NON-U.S. USERS: Concha Labs™ is a company based in the United States of America (“US”). Our services are offered from the US and are not intended for use elsewhere, including in the European Union. If you are located outside of the US and use our services, all information, including personal information, will be transferred to the US, and you expressly consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of such information outside your country of residence as described in this Privacy Policy pursuant to US law.
The Types of Information that We Collect
So that we can provide you with our products and services, we may need to collect information about you or others. If you do not provide us with the information we request, we may not be able to supply you with our products and services. Three types of information are collected from visitors to our Site: voluntarily submitted information, automatically collected information, and payment information via e-commerce platforms (e.g., Shopify).
Information provided through optional, voluntary submission.
During the course of using our services, you may be asked to provide information through voluntary submission. This information may include personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, activity details and data usage relating to our products and services, information you submit to us in forms, by telephone, or in connection with the use of our products and services, and inquiry/complaint details. If you register your product with us, this information will be associated with the serial number of the product which you have registered. We will never sell this information to third parties or marketing companies.
Voluntarily submitted information may also include health information such as medical treatment, diagnoses, healthcare provider and/or location information, prescriptions, medical documentation, and health insurance information. To the extent applicable, we will comply with all state and federal regulations pertaining to the collection and storage of any information so submitted.
Automatically Collected Information.
Our Site may incorporate “pixel tags”, “cookies” or similar tracking technologies that allow us to track the actions of visitors of our Site. Pixel tags and cookies are used to collect non- personally identifiable information, such as the name of your internet service provider, the IP address of the computer you are using, the type of browser software and operating system that you use, the date and time you access our Site, the website address, if any, from which you linked directly to our Site, the website address, if any, to which you travel from our Site, your home page customization preferences and other similar traffic-related information. We may aggregate this tracking information (“Aggregated Information”) with similar data collected from other visitors to help us improve our Site and the products, services, applications, content and features that we provide through our Site.
When you visit our Site, the server housing the pages also automatically generates a “session log.” We use session logs to help us determine how people travel through our Site. This allows us to structure our pages so that the information most frequently visited is easier to find. By tracking page visits, we can also determine if the information we are providing is being used. The only data gathered is the IP address from which you came, the website that referred you, the pages you visited and the data and time of those visits.
We do not use automatically collected information to create or maintain a profile of you or collect personally identifiable information.
Payment Information.
Our online store is currently hosted by Shopify Inc. (“Shopify”), which is an online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell you products and services. We do not collect, use, or store your payment information. Rather, your payment data (such as credit or debit card information) is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and application. For information on how Shopify treats your payment data, please review Shopify’s Terms of Service (located at https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) and Privacy Statement (located at https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy). To the extent that we use other e-commerce platforms, please refer to the terms of service and privacy policies of such platforms, as well. We are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or legality of third party policies or procedures.
What we do with the information we collect about you
We may use your information, including personally identifiable information, to provide certain services to you including: provide you with the products, services and information you request or have expressed interest in; determine your eligibility to use our products and whether such use is covered by health insurance; contact you with information, offers and promotions about our products and services; send you our newsletter; provide, maintain, administer or expand our service or for other internal purposes to support, improve or enhance our business, the products and services we offer; customize and tailor your experience of the service; obtain your feedback regarding the service; use statistical information that we collect in any way permitted by law, including from third parties in connection with their commercial and marketing efforts; conduct surveys or polls; engage in commercial activities with respect only to information that has been de-identified (“De-Identified Information”); and prevent, detect and investigate security breaches and potentially illegal or prohibited activities.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties or mass marketers for their independent use. We may, however, use your personal information to match it with other public and private data sources in order to enhance our records, such as appending additional information to your profile, or the records of our business partners. We also may work with other providers who also possess your information in connection with their services, such as sharing your personal information with a third party who also has your personal information in order to enhance one or both of our services provided to you.
Unless you consent to the disclosure of your personally identifiable information, only we and our affiliates, our technical consultants, third party auditors and other third parties who make our service available, enhance its functionality, or provide associated services (such as coordinating orders and delivery of our products and services) have access to this information. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information by these third-party providers.
Please note that we reserve the right to and may disclose personally identifiable information about you in connection with (a) requests from local, state or federal law enforcement officials; (b) any judicial, administrative or similar proceeding or order, such as subpoena; (c) a petition in bankruptcy or proceedings in bankruptcy, or if any court assumes jurisdiction of it and its assets pursuant to proceedings under any bankruptcy or reorganization act, or a receiver is appointed of our assets or we make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (d) if required by law; or (e) to investigate suspected fraud, harassment, physical threats, or other violations of any law, rule or regulation, the rules or policies pertaining to our products and services (including but not limited to this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use), or the rights of third parties or to investigate any suspected conduct which we deem improper. Please also note that we do reserve the right to transfer your personal information and other information to our successors in business and purchasers of site assets.
We may use Aggregated Information or Deidentified Information for all purposes as we deem fit, including to improve your experience on the Site or with our products and services and for our research activities. For example, we may share Aggregated or Deidentified Information with unaffiliated third parties, such as business partners, in order to improve our products or services, or for any other legal purpose.
Protection of Information
We take all commercially reasonable steps to keep the personal information we hold about you secure and free from loss, misuse, or interference. Personal information we collect is stored on secure servers and is only accessible by those persons who need access to the information in order to carry out their business functions. We also maintain physical security measures to protect the use and storage of physical records containing personal information. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow generally accepted industry security standards.
