We
at ThermoGenesis Corp. ("Thermo") respect
your privacy and are committed to protecting personal
information. Accordingly, we intend to give our
customers and website visitors as much control as
possible over their personal information. In general,
you can visit www.thermogenesis.com without telling
us who you are or revealing any information about
yourself. However, there are times when we may require
information from you (such as your name, address,
e-mail address and telephone number) in order to
provide you with the information, service or product
you may have requested.
As a customer or visitor of our website, you will
want to know that we do keep track of all the domains
of the people who visit our website. We analyze
this data for trends and statistics about our website
traffic. We may also use your IP address to help
us diagnose problems with our server and/or to administer
our website. Your IP address may even be used to
help us identify you and your shopping cart, or
to gather and assess broad demographic information.
We may combine information about you that we maintain
with other information that we may obtain about
you from any of our business partners; or vice versa.
On occasion, we, or one of our business partners,
may solicit additional personal information from
you via the Internet. This information, for example,
may be used in order to correspond with you regarding
processing an order or to provide you with opportunities
to subscribe to an online newsletter.
Our website may contain links to other websites
that may collect personal information about you,
and we have no control over the privacy issues of
those websites. You must contact each such website
for its own private policy, if any.
We respect the wishes of those who do not wish to
have their personal information used as a basis
for future contact by us, or our business partners.
You may opt-out of receiving future communications
or request that we remove your personal information
at any time by e-mailing us at marketing@thermogenesis.com.

ThermoGenesis Corp. Privacy Policy
|
|
| Privacy
Policy |
| |
Thermo makes
reasonable efforts to protect your personal information.
Thermo’s privacy program and data security activities
are governed by a number of policies and procedures.
With respect to personal information about individuals
(“data subjects”) located in European Union
(EU) countries, Thermo also adheres to a self-regulatory
program that complies with the Safe Harbor privacy principles
set forth in the July 2000 agreement between the EU
and the United States Department of Commerce. For more
information about the Safe Harbor Program, please go
to http://www.export.gov/safeharbor/.
Thermo collects, processes, and stores personal information
for the following purposes:
- determining, evaluating, and implementing employment-related
actions and obligations.
- designing, evaluating, and administering compensation,
benefits, and other human resources programs.
- designing, evaluating, and implementing employment-related
education and training programs.
- monitoring and evaluating employee conduct and
performance.
- maintaining work premise and employee security,
and health and safety.
- making data subjects' names, images, and other
items of business-contact information available by
means of website posting, business cards, brochures,
and other promotional media to Thermo's present and
potential customers, suppliers, contractors, joint
venture partners, other business associates, and employees.
- maintaining business records relating to past,
present, and potential customers, suppliers, contractors,
joint venture partners, other business associates,
and employees.
- conducting auditing, accounting, financial, and
economic analyses.
- facilitating business communications, negotiations,
transactions, conferences, and compliance with contractual
and legal obligations.
In the event Thermo intends to use or transfer personal
information about EU data subjects for reasons that are
not consistent with the above, the affected data subject(s)
will be given the opportunity to opt-out of such intended
use or transfer. Sensitive information (e.g. medical or
health condition, racial or ethnic origin) will not be
used or transferred for purposes inconsistent with the
above unless the affected data subject(s) expressly agree(s)
to such use or transfer.
Thermo may transfer personal information to a third party
acting as its agent (e.g., consultants, tax advisors and
preparers, accountants, auditors, lawyers, financial services
providers and benefit vendors) if such third party confirms
that it provides the same level of protection required
by the Safe Harbor privacy principles. In such instances,
notice and choice will not be provided to the affected
data subject(s) unless Thermo intends that such agent
will use the personal information for a purpose incompatible
with the purposes mentioned above. Notice and choice are
provided to data subjects if personal information is proposed
to be transferred to a third party that is not an agent
of Thermo.
Thermo takes care to secure personal information submitted
to us by our customers and website visitors and users.
Due to established internal control methods and security
practices and measures, Thermo protects all of its collected
personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access,
disclosure, or alteration. We protect your personal information
using several means. Physical security is designed to
prevent unauthorized access to database equipment while
electronic security measures continuously monitor access
to our servers and provide protection from "hacking"
or any other unauthorized access. Additional safeguards
are in place to ensure that access to collected personal
information is limited to only such individuals who may
require access in order to provide services consistent
with our legitimate business purposes, as described above.
Although Thermo will make all reasonable efforts to protect
your personal information, there is always some risk that
an unauthorized third party may find a way to thwart our
security and protection measures and gain access to your
personal information.
Thermo holds each employee accountable for maintaining
the trust our customers, and other employees, place in
us. We provide privacy policy safeguard information to
our employees and periodically audit our compliance practices
to ensure consistency with our Privacy Policy. Thermo
respects and adheres to privacy laws in the countries
where we do business, and we support industry self-regulation
as a flexible means for keeping pace with the latest developments
in technology.
Individuals with allegations or complaints of possible
Safe Harbor privacy policy violations should contact their
local Thermo Human Resources representative. Individuals
with allegations or complaints of possible Safe Harbor
privacy policy violations who do not have access to resources
internal to Thermo should contact the company via its
Internet website, http://www.thermogenesis.com.
Under the direction of Thermo’s Compliance Officer,
Thermo will review, investigate and document every allegation
that our Privacy Policy has been violated. As part of
this process, we will determine the appropriate disciplinary
measures against any person or entity determined to have
violated the terms of our Privacy Policy in order to prevent
a recurrence of any violations thereafter.
