In general, our service automatically gathers certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to CellNetix Pathology and its areas, very much like television ratings that tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program. We only use such data for statistics. This collective data helps us determine how much our customers use parts of the site, so we can improve our site to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many of you as possible. For example, CellNetix Pathology uses a technology nicknamed "cookies" that tells when pages in our site are visited, and by how many people. CellNetix Pathology cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personally identifiable information to tell us who you are or even what your name or e-mail address is. We also may provide statistical "ratings" information, never information about you personally, to our partners about how our members, collectively, use CellNetix Pathology. We do this so they too can understand how much people use our site in order for them to provide you with the best possible Web experience as well.
Disclosure
We DO NOT use or disclose information about your individual visits to CellNetix Pathology or information that you may give us: such as your name, address, email address, etc., to any outside companies, groups or individuals.
