Please be aware Personal Information may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state or country where the privacy laws may differ from and may not be as protective as those where you live. If you are located outside the United States and choose to allow us to collect information about you, please be aware that NEURAXIS may transfer your Personal Information to the United States and process and store it there. By allowing collection of your Personally Identifiable Information, you consent to having your personal data transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

We will only store Personal Information for as long as it is needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, subject to data retention periods imposed upon us by applicable law. How long we retain your Personal Information depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce other applicable contracts and policies. In addition, the data we collect may be stored in databases owned by the providers of the third-party sites.  We have put into place commercially reasonable security measures in an effort to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, or alteration while it is under our control. Please note, however, that security incidents can occur even if reasonable steps are taken to prevent such incidents; for example, we cannot guarantee that information provided through the Services will not be illegally accessed on our servers or intercepted while being transmitted to us over the internet. Additionally, we have absolutely no control over the security of other third-party sites you might visit, interact with, or do business with.

HOW SECURE IS YOUR INFORMATION?

We implement reasonable administrative, organizational and technical safeguards and security measures to protect personal information within our control from unauthorized access, acquisition, disclosure, destruction or alteration, accidental loss, misuse or damage. We regularly review and monitor such safeguards and security measures. Although we take reasonable steps to safeguard personal information, no practices are 100% secure, and we do not guarantee the security of your information.

When Personal Information (such as a credit card or bank account number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. As no data security protocol is impenetrable, NEURAXIS cannot guarantee the security of our systems or databases, nor can we guarantee that Personal Information we collect about you will not be breached, intercepted, destroyed, accessed, or otherwise disclosed without authorization. Accordingly, any information you transfer to or from Services is provided at your own risk.

Please do your part to help us keep your information secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and NEURAXIS Account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or NEURAXIS Account. NEURAXIS specifically reserves the right to terminate your access to the Services and any contract you have with NEURAXIS related to the Services in the event we learn or suspect you have disclosed your NEURAXIS Account or password information to an unauthorized third party.

Data Security Incidents

In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security or other data security incident, NEURAXIS will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and where necessary, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised and take other steps in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. We are not responsible for the functionality, privacy, or security measures of any other organization.
