In general, you can visit Commongene's Web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself. If you choose to provide us with your Personal Information on the Web, we may transfer that Information within Commongene or to Commongene's third-party service providers, across borders, and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. Please note that these third parties with whom we share your information may (i) use such personal information for their own purposes (including commercial purposes) as set forth in their respective privacy policies, (ii) may disclose or dispose of your information to other third parties in the course of their own business, or (iii) may directly contact you (via email, direct marketing, or telemarketing) directly about (x) your information/service requests through this website and/or (y) their own products and services. You may opt out of this use by contacting these third parties directly.
Commongene strives to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal requirements may vary from country to country, Commongene intends to adhere to the principles set forth in this Online Privacy Policy even if, in connection with the above, we transfer your Personal Information from your country to countries that may not require an "adequate" level of protection for your Personal Information. In other words, our goal is to provide protection for your Personal Information no matter where that Personal Information is collected, transferred, or retained.
