which we maintain in
encrypted form on secure servers. We may combine the
information you submit under your account with information from
other Perinata services or third parties in order to provide you
with a better experience and to improve the quality of our
services. For certain services, we may give you the opportunity
to opt out of combining such information.

policies.

In addition to the above, such purposes include:

Perinata processes personal information on our servers in the United States of America and in some cases, we may process personal information on a server outside your own country. We may process personal information to provide our own services. In some cases, we may process personal information on behalf of and according to the instructions of a third party, such as our third party application providers.
When you sign up for a particular
service that requires registration, we ask you to provide
personal information. If we use this information in a manner
different than the purpose for which it was collected, then we
will ask for your consent prior to such use.
If we propose to use personal
information for any purposes other than those described in this
Privacy Policy, we will offer you an effective way to opt out of
the use of personal information for those other purposes. We
will not collect or use sensitive personal information for
purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy,
unless we have obtained your prior consent.“Sensitive personal
information” includes information we know to be related to
confidential medical information, racial or ethnic origins,
political or religious beliefs or sexuality and tied to personal
information.
Most browsers are initially set up to
accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all
cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some Perinata features
and services may not function properly if your cookies are
disabled.
You can decline to submit personal
information to any of our services, in which case Perinata may
not be able to provide those services to you.
�
We have your consent. We require opt-in consent for the sharing
of any sensitive personal information.
� We provide such information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies or other trusted businesses or persons for the purpose of processing personal information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
.
�
We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or
disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a)
satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or
enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms
of Service, including investigation of potential violations
thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud,
security or technical issues, or (d) protect against harm to the
rights, property or safety of Perinata, its users or the public
as required or permitted by law.
If Perinata becomes involved in a
merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its
assets, we will ensure the confidentiality of any personal
information involved in such transactions and provide notice
before personal information is transferred and becomes subject
to a different privacy policy.
Please contact us at the address
below for any additional questions about the management or use
of personal data.
Information security
We take appropriate security measures
to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized
alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include
internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing
practices and security measures, as well as physical security
measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where
we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal
information to Perinata employees, contractors and agents who
need to know that information in order to operate, develop or
improve our services. These individuals are bound by
confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline,
including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to
meet these obligations.
Data integrity
Perinata processes personal
information only for the purposes for which it was collected and
in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We review our data
collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we
only collect, store and process the personal information needed
to provide or improve our services or as otherwise permitted
under this Policy. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the
personal information we process is accurate, complete, and
current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their
personal information whenever necessary.
Accessing and updating personal information
When you use Perinata services, we
make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your
personal information and either to correct this data if it is
inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not
otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate
business purposes. We ask individual users to identify
themselves and the information requested to be accessed,
corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may
decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or
systematic, require disproportionate technical effort,
jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely
impractical (for instance, requests concerning information
residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise
required. In any case where we provide information access and
correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if
doing so would require a disproportionate effort. Some of our
services have different procedures to access, correct or delete
users’ personal information. We provide the details for these
procedures in the specific privacy notices or FAQs for these
services.
Perinata regularly reviews its
compliance with this Privacy Policy. Further, Perinata
works to insure that our published privacy policy is accurate,
comprehensive, prominently displayed, completely implemented,
accessible and conforms to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s
Safe Harbor principles.

When we receive formal written
complaints at this address, it is Perinata’s policy to contact
the complaining user regarding his or her concerns. We will
cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including
local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints
regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved
between Perinata and an individual. For any disputes that may
arise and persist after consultation with Perinata (through
contact at the address above) and coordination with any
appropriate regulatory authorities, Perinata agrees to settle,
negotiate or resolve any and all continuing disputes through a
neutral arbitration and/or mediation organization, primarily
JAMS, or another similar organization, which meets the
guidelines set forth by the
U.S. Department of
Commerce’s Safe Harbor Program for a valid third-party
dispute mechanism.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Please note that this Privacy Policy
may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights
under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent, and we
expect most such changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post
any Privacy Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are
significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including,
for certain services, email notification of Privacy Policy
changes).
