Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy was last revised on May 1, 2014.
LumiThera, Inc. (“LumiThera”) recognizes and supports the need to protect the privacy rights of our Website visitors and supporters. This Privacy Policy describes how LumiThera may collect and use personally identifiable information.
Collection of Information
You can generally visit our Website without revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself. However, to access certain options we may ask you to provide personally identifiable information, and you understand that any information you provide is being provided voluntarily. Information we may request includes, without limitation, your contact information (name, address, phone number, email address), age, gender or username/password.
Like many companies, we also use common tracking tools to collect information. The tools we use might include cookies and GIF files. We might engage third parties to assist us with our passive tracking activities. These could include vendors who help us deliver information to you, or vendors that help us operate our Website.
A “cookie” is a small electronic file that collects information when someone visits a website. A cookie can identify the pages that are being viewed, and this can assist us to select the pages that the viewer sees. Some cookies only exist whilst viewers are online, but “persistent” cookies – which are not session-based – remain on the viewer’s computer, so that he or she can be recognized as a previous visitor when he or she next visits our Website. This allows us to collect information about a viewer’s browsing habits whilst on our Website which can be useful in assisting us to monitor and improve our services.
Our Website uses Google Analytics cookies to provide us with information to help us better understand how users enjoy our Website. These cookies are: utma, utmb, utmc and utmz. The information they provide us with is not shared with third parties (other than for use within Google Analytics), nor do we take steps to specifically identify any user or their personal information.
In addition to using cookies, we might also use GIFs and other web tools to collect information about your browsing activities whilst on our Website. In this respect the information that is provided is similar to the information supplied by cookies, and we use it for the same purposes.
Any information that we acquire about you using cookies, GIFs or other web tools is subject to the same restrictions and conditions as any other information we collect about you.
You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. You may also delete cookies by (depending on your browser) ‘clearing your browsing history’ which will include an option to delete cookies. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our Website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to our Website.
Information we collect through common tracking tools might include the website browser or type of mobile device you are using, whether you have previously visited our Website, IP addresses, ISP information, or the sites from which you arrived or to which you leave after you visit us, and from this information we can derive the identity of the visitor’s geographic location and Internet Service Provider.
Use of Information
We use the information you provide to us for our legitimate business purposes, including to respond to your requests and to provide you with information you might have requested. We will also use information to improve our products and services, or to customize your interaction with us, including the type of content of ours that you see online or receive from us. We use information to analyze customer interests as well, including analyzing website trends, and to better understand your needs and how we can improve our Websites and products. We may combine information about you with information we have received from third party sources. We will also use information for security purposes, such as to protect our Website or our company. We will also use your information to communicate with you about our relationship, and where permitted by law, to send you information about ourselves, our products or services and other information we believe you may find of interest.
We may provide information to any affiliate entity of LumiThera, partner entities, and vendors we may engage to assist us. For example, we may provide your personally identifiable information to an organization in order for them to help us complete a service (e.g., send out information you have requested), or to provide marketing materials on our behalf. We will also disclose information if we reasonably believe we are required to do so by law, regulation or other government authority. We will also disclose information if we believe it is necessary to protect our company or our Website visitors. We may transfer your personally identifiable information to a successor entity upon a merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization in which LumiThera participates or to a purchaser of all or substantially all of LumiThera’ assets. Such successor entity shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
BY CONTINUING TO USE THIS WEBSITE, OR IF YOU EXPRESSLY PROVIDE INFORMATION TO US, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO OUR COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
Minors/Children
Our Website is not created for minors (in most states, individuals under the age of 18) and we do not believe that children would be interested in our Website. We do not, to our knowledge, collect information online from children. If you are a parent or guardian and think we have information about children under 13, in keeping with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, please email us.
Links to Third-Party Websites
Our Website may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not under our control. Such links do not constitute an endorsement of those third parties or the content displayed therein. You acknowledge that we provide these links to you only as a convenience, and you understand that your information will be used as described by the third parties in their privacy policies.
Security
LumiThera and its third-party providers may employ industry-standard procedural and technological security measures. Such measures are reasonably designed to protect your personally identifiable information and are commensurate to the type of information we maintain. No website is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee the safety of your information online. You should thus use caution when submitting information online or using interactive programs.
Where Information is Processed
This Website is owned and operated by LumiThera in the United States, but the information you provide may be accessible to our partners, vendors and suppliers in other countries. Furthermore, if you are visiting this Website from a country other than the United States, your communication with us will necessarily result in the transfer of information across international boundaries. By using this Website, you consent to the collection, storage and processing of your information in the United States and in any country to which we may transfer your information in the course of our business operations. You further recognize that the laws of the United States may not provide the same level of protection as the laws in your country.
Your Choices
You may elect not to provide us with information we request. Please note that if you do not provide us with all requested information, we may not be able to fulfill your request or deliver certain products or features to you. You also have a choice about your cookie settings, which you can modify by using the tools in your browser. If you set your browser to reject cookies, however, certain parts of our Website may not function.

LumiThera encourages you to review this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes. Your continued use of this Website will be subject to the then- current Privacy Policy.
