Welcome
Welcome to www.training.integra-ls.com. This site is owned
by Integra LifeSciences Corporation. This Privacy Policy
is designed to tell you about our practices regarding
collection, use, and disclosure of information that you
may provide via this site. Please be sure to read this
entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information
to this site. This site is intended for use by residents
of the United States.
Your Consent
By using this site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy
Policy. Whenever you submit information via this site,
you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of
that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
About Children
This site is not intended for children under the age of
13. We will not knowingly collect information from site
visitors in this age group. We encourage parents to talk
to their children about their use of the Internet and
the information they disclose to Web sites.
Active Information Collection
Like many Web sites, this site actively collects information
from its visitors both by asking you specific questions
and by permitting you to communicate directly with us
via e-mail, feedback forms, and/or chat rooms. Some of
the information that you submit may be personally identifiable
information (that is, information that can be uniquely
identified with you, such as your full name, address,
e-mail address, phone number, and so on). Some areas of
this site may require you to submit information in order
for you to benefit from the specified features (such as
newsletter subscriptions, tips/pointers, order processing)
or to participate in a particular activity (such as sweepstakes
or other promotions). You will be informed at each information
collection point what information is required and what
information is optional.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through a Web site, certain information
can be passively collected (that is, gathered without
your actively providing the information) using various
technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses,
cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data collection.
We use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses on this site.
An IP Address is a number assigned to your computer by
your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet
and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable
information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic
(changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather
than static (unique to a particular user's computer).
We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our server,
report aggregate information, determine the fastest route
for your computer to use in connecting to our site, and
administer and improve the site.
A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web
site sends to your Web browser that helps the site remember
information about you and your preferences.
Session cookies are temporary bits of information that
are erased once you exit your Web browser window or otherwise
turn your computer off. Session cookies are used to improve
navigation on Web sites and to collect aggregate statistical
information. This site uses session cookies.
Persistent cookies are more permanent bits of information
that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and
stay there unless you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies
store information on your computer for a number of purposes,
such as retrieving certain information you have previously
provided (e.g., passwords), helping to determine what
areas of the Web site visitors find most valuable, and
customizing the Web site based on your preferences. This
site uses persistent cookies.
"Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel
GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are
smaller than cookies and tell the Web site server information
such as the IP address and browser type related to the
visitor's computer. We do not use Internet tags at this
site.
"Navigational data" ("log files,"
"server logs," and "clickstream" data)
are used for system management, to improve the content
of the site, market research purposes, and to communicate
information to visitors. This site uses navigational data.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, we may use your information
to improve the content of our site, to customize the site
to your preferences, to communicate information to you
(if you have requested it), for our marketing and research
purposes, and for the purposes specified in this Privacy
Policy.
If you provide personally identifiable information to
this site, we may combine such information with other
actively collected information unless we specify otherwise
at the point of collection. We will take reasonable measures
to prevent personally identifiable information from being
combined with passively collected information, unless
you consent otherwise.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information
to other Integra affiliates worldwide that agree to treat
it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In addition,
we may disclose your personally identifiable information
to third parties, located in the United States and/or
any other country, but only
i. to contractors we use to support our business (e.g.,
fulfillment services, technical support, delivery services,
and financial institutions), in which case we will require
such third parties to agree to treat it in accordance
with this Privacy Policy;
ii. in connection with the sale, assignment, or other
transfer of the business of this site to which the information
relates, in which case we will require any such buyer
to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy;
or
iii. where required by applicable laws, court orders,
or government regulations. In addition, we will make full
use of all information acquired through this site that
is not in personally identifiable form.
Access and Correction
To keep your personally identifiable information accurate,
current, and complete, please contact us as specified
below. We will take reasonable steps to update or correct
personally identifiable information in our possession
that you have previously submitted via this site.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable
information as you transmit your information from your
computer to our site and to protect such information from
loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration,
or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet
transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. In particular,
e-mail sent to or from this site may not be secure, and
you should therefore take special care in deciding what
information you send to us via e-mail. Moreover, where
you use passwords, ID numbers, or other special access
features on this site, it is your responsibility to safeguard
them.
Links to Other Web Sites
This site may contain links or references to other Web
sites. Please be aware that we do not control other Web
sites and that, in any case, this Privacy Policy does
not apply to those Web sites. We encourage you to read
the privacy policy of every Web site you visit.
Other Terms
Your use of this site is subject to the Terms
of Use.
