privacy policy

ArkeaBio Corp.^TM (“ArkeaBio^TM”) is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information in our custody and control. It is ArkeaBio’s policy to respect your privacy and comply with any applicable law and regulation regarding any personal information we may collect about you, including across our website, https://www.arkeabio.com and any other sites we may own and operate. This Privacy Policy explains how ArkeaBio collects, uses, and discloses certain data and information.

Personal information is any information about you which can be used to identify you. This includes information about you as a person (such as name, address, and date of birth), your devices, payment details, and even information about how you use a website or online service.

Collection and Use of Personal Information

Information we collect falls into one of two categories: ‘voluntarily provided’ information and ‘automatically collected’ information.

‘Voluntarily provided’ information refers to any information you knowingly and actively provide us when using or participating in any of our services and promotions.
‘Automatically collected’ information refers to any information automatically sent by your devices while accessing information regarding our products and/or services.

When you visit our website, our servers may automatically log the standard data provided by your web browser. It may include your device’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type and version, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on each page, and other details about your visit.

Additionally, if you encounter certain errors while using the site, we may automatically collect data about the error and the circumstances surrounding its occurrence. This data may include technical details about your device, what you were trying to do when the error happened, and other technical information relating to the problem. You may or may not receive notice of such errors, even in the moment they occur, that they have occurred, or what the nature of the error is.

Please be aware that while this information may not be personally identifying by itself, it may be possible to combine it with other data to personally identify individual persons.

We may collect personal information from you when you do any of the following on our website:

We may combine voluntarily provided and automatically collected personal information with general information or research data we receive from other trusted sources. For example, our marketing and market research activities may uncover data and insights, which we may combine with information about how visitors use our site to improve our site and your experience on it.

Should you choose to contact us with an inquiry, question, request for further information, or to have a representative contact you directly, you will be asked to provide information that may identify you, such as your name, company, telephone number, and/or e-mail address. We use this information to respond to your inquiry, question, or request and to provide you with information we may be the most beneficial to you.

Security of Your Personal Information

When we collect and process personal information, and while we retain this information, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. Although we will do our best to protect the personal information you provide to us, we advise that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure and no one can guarantee absolute data security. You are responsible for selecting any password and its overall security strength, ensuring the security of your own information within the bounds of our services.

We may transfer, or otherwise make available, personal information to service providers who provide certain services on our behalf. For example, we may use service providers to host our website, store data, provide back-up services (including cloud-based service providers) and manage our communications. Our service providers are given access to the information they need to perform their designated functions, and we do not authorize them to use or disclose personal information for their own marketing or other purposes.

We may transfer personal information as an asset in connection with a prospective or completed merger, acquisition, or sale (including transfers made as part of insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding) involving all or part of ArkeaBio or as part of a corporate reorganization or other change in corporate control.

ArkeaBio may disclose your personal information where permitted or required by law, including to comply with a subpoena, warrant or other legally valid inquiry or order (which may include lawful access by United States or foreign governmental authorities, courts or law enforcement agencies), to other organizations in the case of investigating a breach of an agreement or contravention of law or detecting, suppressing or preventing fraud, to protect our rights and the safety and security of our employees, to enforce our agreements and collect debts owed to us, or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable law.

Where personal information is processed with consent, you may (subject to contractual and legal restrictions) refuse to provide your consent, or choose to withdraw your consent, to our processing of your personal information by contacting us as described in the “Contact Us” section on our website.
