Privacy Policy

INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

This Privacy Policy describes how KIMERA LABS (“Company,” “we” or “our”) collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from our visitors and/or customers (collectively, “Customer,” “you” or “your”) through the use of the Company websites.

Kimera Labs is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Kimera Labs may collect information from our customers at several different points on our website, as needed to service our customers, as outlined below.

COOKIES

There are several types of cookies related to the web browsing experience. Neither cookie type contains any personally identifiable information. A temporary cookie, technically known as a Session Cookie, is one that your browser sets by default to communicate your browsing experience between you and the server. This session cookie is automatically destroyed in your browser when you close the web browsing session on the KIMERA LABS site.

The second cookie type is known as a persistent cookie. A persistent cookie is a tiny bit of data stored locally on your machine that helps with the overall browsing experience.

KIMERA LABS does not utilize the use of persistent cookies for the site to function correctly. However, these cookies can help us provide a more tailored experience for Customers based on the type of product the Customer has expressed interest in and how a customer chooses to utilize the services. The types of persistent cookies KIMERA LABS uses are for tracking how and when you initially found KIMERA LABS, including what page you first landed on. Additionally, third-party cookies such as Google and Facebook are set to help us track our advertising effectiveness.

For added control by customers related to the various control panels utilized, cookies have options for helping with login conveniences and customization of their control panel.

INFORMATION COLLECTED DURING THE ORDER PROCESS

We request information from the user on our order form(s). To service a Customer account, a user must provide contact information (email, name, address, phone) and, depending on the payment method and financial information (credit card number, expiration date, bank information). Additionally, the IP is recorded in the billing system. This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to contact the user. We use a high encryption SSL certificate for securely gathering the requested information. We also encrypt the credit card information for your security, and the CVV code of the card is NOT stored.

LOG FILES

Log files automatically collect certain types of information related to your browser, including your IP address. We use IP addresses to analyze trends and help provide an insight into how visitors transition from one page to another to optimize the visitor experience and gather broad demographic information like the type of browser for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

SHARING OF INFORMATION

KIMERA LABS does NOT share any personal information with any outside company except as outlined here:

Credit/Payment Card Processors – KIMERA LABS uses a credit/payment card processing company (just like every business that accepts credit cards has to) to bill users for goods and services. KIMERA LABS only passes the required information to the credit card company, including the name, card number, expiration date, and billing zip code. KIMERA LABS does NOT forward any personally identifiable information to these card processing companies.

KIMERA LABS will comply with State and Federal law and therefore comply with the lawful request (i.e., court orders, subpoenas, etc.). When allowed, KIMERA LABS will notify the customer of such a request.

LINKS

Company websites contain links to third-party sites. These third-party websites have their own privacy policies, and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies. We encourage our visitors to be aware when they leave our site and read each website’s privacy statements that collect personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by Company Web sites.

NEWSLETTER

If a visitor wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address.

SURVEYS & CONTESTS

From time to time, our site requests information from visitors or customers via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary, and the participant has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and address) and demographic information (zip code and age). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

SECURITY

This website takes every precaution to protect our visitors’ information. When visitors submit sensitive information via the website, the information is protected both online and offline.

When our order form(s) asks visitors to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry – SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form(s), the lock icon in the Web browser becomes locked. KIMERA LABS has taken additional steps to ensure SSL encryption is used at all times when browsing our site.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information offline. All of our users’ information is restricted in our offices, not just the sensitive information mentioned above. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy and what they can do to protect our customers’ information. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment.

KIMERA LABS’s website and services are not intended for, nor designed to attract, individuals under the age of 18. KIMERA LABS does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from any person under the age of 18.

When paying by Credit Card, upon initial payment, you will be required to enter the CVV code for the card. We do NOT store this code. It is only asked for this once. The card itself is encrypted and stored for your security.

SPECIAL OFFERS

We send all new accounts an email providing further account information. Established customers will occasionally receive information on new services and/or special promotions. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option not to receive these types of communications.

CORRECTING/UPDATING/DELETING PERSONAL INFORMATION

If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as your phone number or email address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user’s personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at the contact us or by submitting a support ticket.

CUSTOMER INFORMATION AND CUSTOMER PRIVACY
