Privacy Policy
Welcome to Excellgen.com (and permutation webpages that provide a
direct link to this Privacy Policy - collectively the "Site"), which is
owned and operated by Excellgen Inc ("Excellgen" or "we"). This
Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about Excellgen’s collection,
use, and dissemination practices regarding information that you provide
to Excellgen through this Site. This Privacy Policy does not apply to
any other data use, collection or dissemination practices, such as data
collected offline or through websites other than the Site.
The Site provides an opportunity for Excellgen investors, prospective
employees, and other adults to learn more about Excellgen. The Site is
particularly geared to our customer base - biotechnology researchers and
life scientists - and to providing them with content, products, and
services geared to their industry, to the role they play in their
organizations, and to helping them accomplish biological procedures
faster, more reliably, and in a cost-efficient manner.
Your use of this Site is subject to this Privacy Policy, which you may
at any time print or download (or request a printed copy by contacting
us as specified below). Whenever you submit information to Excellgen
through the Site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of
that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Excellgen
reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time by posting
the revised policy at this location, but such changes will not affect
information provided by you prior to the effective date of the change
unless you consent otherwise. Please check back for updates to the
Privacy Policy.
How we collect information about you:
When you register with Excellgen via this Site, you will be
asked to provide basic contact information (e.g., name,
organization, address, phone number, e-mail address, fax number, and so
on). On this Site, for example, we may collect and retain contact and
other information from you in a number of ways, such as when you place
an order, request e-mail updates or other information, complete customer
surveys, submit a feedback or contact form, or provide a resume. If any
third parties provide information to us about you, we may combine that
information with other information we have about you, and if and to the
extent we do, we will treat such combined information in accordance with
this Privacy Policy.
This Site collects various information from you in the course of your
navigation of the Site, such as the URL of the site you just came from,
the browser version you use, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, IP
ports, date/time, size of data transferred, pages you visit, and other
"clickstream" data. We are typically not able to relate such data to you
as an individual if you merely browse our Site and do not disclose your
identity to us, e.g., in connection with a registration. Excellgen also
uses "cookies" to enhance your Site visit. A "cookie" is information
either temporarily or permanently stored in a file on your computer. You
can set your internet browser to reject cookies (refer to your internet
browser instructions if you wish to do so), but that may limit your use
of some convenience features at this Site.
How we use information about you:
Excellgen uses information collected by clickstream data collection and
cookies to store your preferences, improve web site navigation, make
personalized features and other services available to you, compile and
analyze aggregate statistics and trends, and otherwise help administer
and improve the Site. Where you provide registration information,
cookies can also be used to identify you when you log onto the Site or
portions of the Site.
Except as otherwise stated, Excellgen may use information it collects
from you and others to respond to your request, improve the content,
services, and products that Excellgen provides, customize this Site to
your preferences, communicate information to you (where you have not
expressed a preference otherwise), for our marketing and research
analysis, and for other purposes identified to you. Some marketing and
research analysis is conducted by third parties providing data
collection and analysis services under contract with Excellgen,
utilizing anonymous data collected from cookies. As noted above, you can
reject such cookies by following your browser’s instructions. Excellgen
reserves the right to make full use of information that is not in
personally identifiable form.
From time to time, Excellgen uses contact information obtained via this
Site to send e-mail and postal mail supplying customers with the most
recent product and service information. If you order products or
services via our Site, Excellgen may contact you by e-mail to send you
information about your order (e.g., order confirmations,
shipment notifications, etc.). Excellgen may also contact Site visitors
via e-mail regarding their account status, and about changes to any
relevant agreements or policies.
In connection with our promotions, we use the information you submit to
maintain your account, measure the benefits for our business and pursue
other legitimate business purposes as described in this Privacy Policy
and in the terms and conditions (where applicable) for the program or
promotion.
How information may be disclosed and how it is protected:
Excellgen does not provide the personally identifiable information you
supply to us to outside mailing lists. Excellgen may share information
about you with Excellgen's affiliates, successors, and
agents/representatives (for example, consultants), which are required to
treat the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Excellgen takes reasonable steps to safeguard the information you
provide to us. For example, all web pages transmitting personal or
financial information are encrypted from your client PC to our servers
(which are located in the United States to the extent data on Canadian
registered website visitors is concerned) using the standard known as
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). Beyond the SSL barrier your data is
protected once it reaches our network through the use of secure
multi-tiered firewalls. Portions of your data may also be encrypted on
our storage server for additional security. We may disclose personally
identifiable information that you provide via this site to respond to
law enforcement requests or where required by applicable laws,
regulations, or court orders. Furthermore, we may disclose information
provided by you in connection with corporate restructuring, sale or
assignment of assets, merger, divestiture, and other changes of control
or financial status, in which case we will require the recipient to use
the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Because no system is 100% secure or error-free despite taking
commercially reasonable steps, Excellgen and its affiliates do not
promise, and you should not expect, that information you provide to
Excellgen shall remain private under all circumstances. It is your
responsibility to safeguard any passwords, ID numbers, or other special
access features associated with your use of the Site.
Opting out:
If you do not wish to receive certain communications from Excellgen, or
our affiliates or representatives, you may opt out by: (1) declining the
service offered when registering or at other information collection
points on the Site, or (2) informing us that you no longer wish to
receive such communications. We will comply with such requests unless
such communications are required by law or do not require your consent
under applicable laws. If you opt out of certain communications, you may
not be able to access certain Excellgen products or services. If you
would like to opt-out of receiving communications from affiliates or
other third parties with whom we shared data in accordance with this
policy, please contact such third parties directly.
Access to information you provide:
You may at any time request access to a summary of your personal
information held by Excellgen, and request corrections or updates to
that information. Excellgen will make reasonable efforts to respond
promptly to such requests, but reserves the right to limit such requests
to two per year per individual. Further, our response to such requests
may be limited to information under our direct control.
Other web sites:
This Site contains links to the web sites of other organizations.
Excellgen is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of
other web sites, and unless otherwise specified, does not imply any
relationship, sponsorship, or affiliation between Excellgen and these
linked sites, or adoption or approval of the content of such sites.

For any requests or questions related to this Privacy Policy, or if you
