The revised TOS will be effective on or after the posted date.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Initial Dispute Resolution. We are available by email at Regulator-Office@iGuideMedical.com to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Service. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. You agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration. If we do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to Section 28(a) above, then either you or we may initiate binding arbitration. Except for any disputes excluded below in Section 28(d), all claims arising out of or relating to these TOS (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered on a confidential basis by an arbitrator chosen by iGM, in accordance with iGM’s chosen arbitrator’s Arbitration Rules and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. The parties shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the iGM’s chosen arbitrator’s Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these TOS, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these TOS is void or voidable. iGM’s chosen arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The iGM’s chosen arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of these TOS shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. The iGM’s chosen arbitrator’s rules governing the arbitration will be provided within thirty (30) days from the date it is determined that arbitration is require for dispute resolution. If you initiate arbitration, to the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds Two Hundred and Fifty U.S. Dollars ($250) and the claim is found to be non-frivolous, we will pay the additional cost. If we are required to pay the additional cost of the filing fees, you should submit a request for payment of fees to iGM’s chosen arbitrator’s along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to iGM’s chosen arbitrator’s. We will also be responsible for paying all other arbitration costs arising in connection with the arbitration, other than costs incurred by you for legal counsel, travel and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses not constituting fees or amounts payable to iGM’s chosen arbitrator. You will not be required to pay fees and costs incurred by us if you do not prevail in arbitration. We will also pay iGM’s chosen arbitrator to reimburse you for any portion of the $250 filing fee that is more than what you would otherwise have to pay to file suit in a court of law.
You understand that, absent this mandatory provision, you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. You further understand that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. You and we each further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in our respective individual capacities only and not as a class action, and you and we each expressly waive our respective right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above in Section 28(b) shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
Exceptions. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief (i) in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction, and (ii) any disputes relating to intellectual property rights, obligations, or any infringement claims.
30 Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in Sections 28(b) and 28(c) by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out by emailing us at Regulatory-Office@iGuideMedical.com. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Service, or the effective date of the first set of TOS containing an Arbitration and Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver section otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.
Term for Cause of Action. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or the TOS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
Exclusive Venue for Litigation. To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 28(b) do not apply or if you have opted out of arbitration, you agree that any litigation shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in Rockingham County, New Hampshire (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside). You and we expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in Rockingham County, New Hampshire for any litigation other than small claims court actions. In the event of litigation relating to these TOS or the Service, you agree to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a jury trial, except where a jury trial waiver is not permissible under applicable law.
Entire Agreement. The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and iGM and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and iGM on this subject. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate services, third-party content, or third-party software
Waiver. The failure of iGM to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect.
Admissibility of printed version. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
Section titles. The section titles in the TOS are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
Severability Clause. If any portion of these TOS is found to be unenforceable, the remaining portion will remain in full force and effect.
Assignment: You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Agreement. Any purported assignment and delegation shall be ineffective. We may freely assign or delegate all rights and obligations under the Agreement, fully or partially without notice to you. We may also substitute, by way of unilateral novation, effective upon notice to you, iGM for any third party that assumes our rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Research is an important aspect of iGM’s Services and we want to ensure interested participants are aware of additional opportunities to contribute to interesting, novel scientific research conducted by academic institutions, healthcare organizations, device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and other groups. If you have chosen to participate in iGM PRO Initiative, from time to time we may inform you of third party research opportunities for which you may be eligible. For example, if a university tells us about a new research project, we may send an email to iGM research participants who potentially fit the relevant eligibility criteria based on their Individual-level or Self-Reported Information to make them aware of the research project and provide a link to participate with the research organization conducting the study. However we will not share Personal Information with any third party without your consent. If you do not wish to receive these notifications, you can manage them by editing your preferences in your Profile.
For individuals located in the Designated Countries: Our legal basis for processing your Sensitive Information for the purpose described above is based on your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time, however, the withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
To provide customer support
When you contact Member Success, we may use or request Personal Information, as necessary to answer your questions, resolve disputes, and/or investigate and troubleshoot problems or complaints. In some instances, we may be required to process one customer’s Personal Information to resolve another customer’s dispute or request. For example, if a customer reports behavior that violates our Terms of Service, we will separately process both customers’ Personal Information and respond separately to each individual as appropriate. We will not share your Personal Information with another customer without your consent.
For individuals located in the Designated Countries: Our legal basis for processing your Personal Information for the purpose described above depends on the nature of the customer support request. Our legal basis can be to satisfy our contractual or legal obligations and/or our legitimate interest to improve our Services.
To conduct surveys or polls, and obtain testimonials
We value your feedback and may send you surveys, polls, or requests for testimonials to improve and optimize our Services. You are in control of the information you would like to share with us. If you do not wish to receive these requests, you can manage them in your Profile.
For individuals located in the Designated Countries: Our legal basis for processing your Personal Information for the purpose described above is based on our legitimate interest. We think it is important to continue improving our Services to ensure your continued enjoyment.

By creating a iGM account, you are agreeing that we may send you product and promotional emails or notifications about our, and third party, Services, and offers on new products, services, promotions or contests. You may also opt-in to receiving similar notifications on the website or mobile application(s). You can unsubscribe from receiving these marketing communications at any time. To unsubscribe, click the email footer “unsubscribe” link or go to your Profile to edit your email notification preferences.

4. Information we share with third parties
General service providers.
We share the information described above in Section 2 with our third party service providers, as necessary for them to provide their services to us and help us perform our contract with you. Service providers are third parties (other companies or individuals) that help us to provide, analyze and improve our Services. iGM uses third party service providers to assist in supporting our Services, including in the following areas:
Order fulfillment and shipping. Our payment processor processes certain Registration Information, such as your billing address and credit card information, as necessary to enable you to purchase items from the Service Marketplace.
Member Success support. Our Member Success team uses a number of tools to help organize and manage the requests we receive. These tools help to ensure we provide timely, high quality support.
Cloud compute, transmission, storage, IT, and Security. Our cloud infrastructure providers provide secure compute, transmission and storage of information used to provide and collect data for iGM Services, ensure that our infrastructure can support continued use of our Services by iGM customers, and protect availability of the Service in the event of a natural disaster or other disruption to the Service. Our IT and security providers assist with intrusion detection and prevention measures to stop any potential attacks against our networks. We have these third party experts perform regular penetration tests and periodically audit iGM’s security controls.
Marketing and analytics. When you use our Service, including our website or mobile app(s), our third party service providers may collect Web-Behavior Information about your visit, such as the links you clicked on, the duration of your visit, and the URLs you visited. This information can help us improve site navigability and assess our Marketing campaigns.
NOTE: Our service providers act on iGM's behalf. We implement procedures and maintain contractual terms with each service provider to protect the confidentiality and security of your information. However, we cannot guarantee the confidentiality and security of your information due to the inherent risks associated with storing and transmitting data electronically.
"Targeted advertising" service providers
We permit third party advertising networks and providers to collect Web-Behavior Information regarding the use of our Services to help us to deliver targeted online advertisements ("ads") to you. They use cookies and similar technologies, to gather information about your browser's or device's visits and usage patterns on our Services and on other websites over time, which helps to better personalize ads to match your interests, and to measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns. For more information about our marketing practices, please review our Cookie Policy.
Aggregate Information
We may share Aggregate Information, which is information that has been stripped of your name and contact information and combined with information of others so that you cannot reasonably be identified as an individual, with third parties. This Information is different from "Individual-level" information and is not Personal Information because it does not identify any particular individual or disclose any particular individual’s data. For example, Aggregate Information may include a statement that "30% of our female users maintain an average of 83% performance again target”," without providing any data specific to any individual user. In contrast, Individual-level Information or Self-Reported Information consists of data about a single individual's activities as related to those Activities presented by the Service to the individual, procedures, or other traits/characteristic information and could reveal whether a specific user has a particular condition. iGM will ask for your consent to share Individual-level Information with any third party, other than our service providers as necessary for us to provide the Services to you.
Information we share with commonly owned entities
We may share some or all of your information including, Personal Information, Individual-level and Self-Reported information with other companies under common ownership or control of iGM, which may include our subsidiaries, our corporate parent, or any other subsidiaries owned by our corporate parent in order to provide you better service and improve user experience. We may provide additional notice and ask for your prior consent if we wish to share your Personal Information with our commonly owned entities in a materially different way than discussed in this Privacy Statement.
As required by law
Under certain circumstances your Personal Information may be subject to processing pursuant to laws, regulations, judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or orders. For example, we may be required to disclose Personal Information in coordination with regulatory authorities in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. iGM will preserve and disclose any and all information to law enforcement agencies or others if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal or regulatory process (such as a judicial proceeding, court order, or government inquiry) or obligations that iGM may owe pursuant to ethical and other professional rules, laws, and regulations; (b) enforce the iGM Terms of Service and other policies; (c) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of iGM, its employees, its users, its clients, and the public.
NOTE: If you are participating in iGM PRO Initiative, iGM will withhold disclosure of your Personal Information involved in such Research in response to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants or orders in accordance with any applicable Certificate of Confidentiality that iGM may obtain from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Business transactions
In the event that iGM goes through a business transition such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets your Personal Information will likely be among the assets transferred. In such a case, your information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Statement.
5. Your choices
Access to your account
We provide access to your iGM data within your iGM account. You can access and request your Personal and Indivual-level data by iGM within your Profile. If you lose access to your iGM account or account email address, please contact Member_Success@iGuideMedical.com for assistance. If you lose access to your iGM account, in certain circumstances, we may require that you submit additional information sufficient to verify your identity before providing access or otherwise releasing information to you. If you choose not to submit the required documentation, or the information provided is not sufficient for the purposes sought, iGM will not be able to sufficiently verify your identity in order to complete your request.
You may access, correct or update most of your Registration Information on your own within your Profile. You may also review and update your consent to iGM PRO Initiative in your Profile. Please note that you may not be able to delete User Content that has been shared with others through the Service and that you may not be able to delete information that has been shared with third parties.
Individuals located in Designated Countries should review Section 9. to understand their rights to access Personal Information.
Marketing communications
As noted in Section 3. you may be asked to opt-in to receive product and promotional emails or notifications when creating your iGM account or when using iGM Services. You may view or update your notification preferences for marketing communications by visiting your Profile, opting out at the browser or device level, or by contacting our Member Success team at Member_Success@iGuideMedical.com. You can also click the "unsubscribe" button at the bottom of promotional email communications, as applicable.
Sharing outside of the iGM Services
You may decide to share your Personal Information with friends and/or family members, doctors or other health care professionals, and/or other individuals outside of our Services, including through third party services such as social networks and third party apps that connect to our website and mobile apps through our application programming interface ("API"). These third parties may use your Personal Information differently than we do under this Privacy Statement. Please make such choices carefully and review the privacy statements of all other third parties involved in the transaction. iGM does not endorse or sponsor any third party applications, and does not affirm the accuracy or validity of any interpretations made by third party applications.
In general, it can be difficult to contain or retrieve Personal Information once it has been shared or disclosed. iGM will have no responsibility or liability for any consequences that may result because you have released or shared Personal Information with others. Likewise, if you are reading this because you have access to the Personal Information of a iGM customer through a multi-profile account, we urge you to recognize your responsibility to protect the privacy of each person within that account. Users with multi-profile accounts (i.e., where you have invited other family members access to your account) should use caution in setting profile-level privacy settings.
Account deletion
If you no longer wish to participate in our Services, or no longer wish to have your Personal Information be processed, you may delete your iGM account and Personal Information within your Profile and submitting a request for iGM to delete your account. Once you submit your request, we will send an email to the email address linked to your iGM account to confirm your deletion request. Once you confirm your request to delete your account and data, your account will no longer be accessible while we process your request. Once you confirm your request, this process cannot be cancelled, undone, withdrawn, or reversed. When your account is deleted, all associated Personal Information is deleted subject to the following limitations:
Information previously included in iGM PRO Initiative. As stated in any applicable iGM PRO Initiative Consent Document, Individual-level and/or Self-Reported Information that you have previously provided and for which you have given consent to use in iGM PRO Initiative cannot be removed from completed studies that use that information. Your data will not be included in studies that start more than 30 days after your account is closed (it may take up to 30 days to withdraw your information after your account is closed).
Legal Retention Requirements. iGM will retain limited information related to your account and data deletion request, including but not limited to, your email address, account deletion request identifier, and record of legal agreements for a limited period of time as required by contractual obligations, and/or as necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims and for audit and compliance purposes.
6. Security measures
iGM takes seriously the trust you place in us. iGM and iGM third party providers implement physical, technical, and administrative measures to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of your information, to maintain data accuracy, to ensure the appropriate use of information, and otherwise safeguard your Personal Information.
iGM produces secure applications by design. iGM incorporates explicit security reviews in the software development lifecycle, quality assurance testing and operational deployment.
De-identification/Pseudonymization. Registration Information is stripped from Sensitive Information, including Self-Reported Information. This data is then assigned a randomly generated ID so an individual cannot reasonably be identified.
Encryption. iGM uses industry standard security measures to encrypt Sensitive Information both at rest and in transit.
Separation of Environments. iGM ensures production, and research environments are separated and access is restricted. Data, including Registration Information and Self-Reported Information are segmented across logical database systems to further prevent re-identifiability.
Limiting access to essential personnel. We limit access to Personal Information to authorized personnel, based on job function and role. iGM access controls include multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, and strict least-privileged authorization policy.
Detecting threats and managing vulnerabilities. iGM and our third party service providers use state of the art intrusion detection and prevention measures to stop any potential attacks against its networks. iGM and our third party service providers employ continuous vulnerability scanning and periodic penetration tests.
Incident Management. iGM maintains a formal incident management program designed to ensure the secure, continuous delivery of its Services. iGM has implemented an incident management program using industry best practices, including guidance from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Managing third party service providers. iGM requires service providers to implement and maintain accepted industry standard administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect Personal Information.
Your Responsibility. Please recognize that protecting your Personal Information is also your responsibility. We ask you to be responsible for safeguarding your password, secret questions and answers, and other authentication information you use to access our Services. You should not disclose your authentication information to any third party and should immediately notify iGM of any unauthorized use of your password. iGM cannot secure Personal Information that you release on your own or that you request us to release.
Your information collected through the Service may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which iGM or its subsidiaries, affiliates or service providers maintain facilities and, therefore, your information may be subject to the laws of those other jurisdictions which may be different from the laws of your country of residence.
7. Children's privacy
iGM is committed to protecting the privacy of children as well as adults. Neither iGM nor any of its Services are designed for, intended to attract, or directed toward children under the age of 18.
8. Linked websites
The Service may provide links to third party websites operated by organizations not affiliated with iGM. iGM does not disclose your information to organizations operating such linked third party websites. iGM does not review or endorse, and is not responsible for, the privacy practices of these organizations. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every website that you visit. This Privacy Statement applies solely to information collected by iGM and our service providers on our behalf.
9. Information for Customers in Designated Countries
Section 9 only applies to individuals located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), United Kingdom, or Switzerland (the “Designated Countries”).
Our relationship with you
We are the “controller” with respect to your Personal Information because we determine the means and purposes of processing your information when using our Services.
Legal bases for processing Personal Information from the EU
We describe how we process your Personal Information in Sections 2 through 4 of this Privacy Statement. We may process your Personal Information if you consent to the processing, to satisfy our legal obligations, if it is necessary to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts we entered with you or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract with you, or for our legitimate interests to protect our property, rights or safety of iGM, our customers or others.
Direct Marketing
We will obtain your consent where required to send you marketing communications using electronic means. You may withdraw your consent at any time within your Profile or by emailing member_success@iguidemedical.com. We will only contact you by electronic means (email, push notification, SMS, etc.) with information about our Services that are similar to those which were the subject of a previous sale or negotiations of a sale to you.
We will only share your Personal Information with third parties for marketing purposes with your explicit consent. If you do not want us to use your Personal Information in this way, please review and update your Profile as necessary or contact us at Member_Success@iGuideMedical.com. You may raise such objection with regard to initial or further processing for purposes of direct marketing at any time and free of charge. The withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Other marketing activities will happen based on the legitimate interests of iGM. E.g., where we tailor marketing communications or send targeted marketing messages via post, phone or social media and other third party platforms; and in providing existing customers with information (via email or other channels) about similar products and services.
Privacy Rights
You can exercise your privacy rights by following the instructions below or contacting us at Member_Success@iGuideMedical.com. We will handle your request under applicable law. When you make a request, we may verify your identity to protect your privacy and security.
Right to withdraw consent. To the extent iGM requests and you provide your consent to the processing of your Personal Information, you can withdraw your consent at any time. Your withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of our processing based on consent before your withdrawal.
Right of access to and rectification of your Personal Information. Our site allows you to access and rectify certain Registration Information within your Profile. You can request to receive a copy of your raw Registration information in your Profile. If you would like to access or rectify any other information, you can modify through your Profile page or by contacting us at Member_Success@iGuideMedical.com and we will do our best to assist you without undue delay. We may reject part or all of your request if responding to your request could adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
Right to erasure (or, “Right to be Forgotten”). As explained under Section 5 (“Account Deletion”), we allow our customers to delete their accounts at any time. You can request erasure of Personal Information that: (a) is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed; (b) was collected in relation to processing to which you previously consented, but later withdrew such consent; or (c) was collected in relation to processing activities to which you object, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for our processing. If we have made your Personal Information public and we are required to erase such Personal Information, we will take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers that are processing any links to or copies or replications of your Personal Information of your erasure request. Our assistance with your request for erasure is subject to limitations by relevant data protection laws, available technology and the cost of implementation.
Right to data portability. If we process your Personal Information based on a contract with you or based on your consent, or the processing is carried out by automated means, you may request to receive your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to have us transfer your Personal Information directly to another controller, where technically feasible, unless exercise of this right adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others. A “controller” is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of your Personal Information.
Right to restriction of our processing. You can restrict our processing of your Personal Information where one of the following applies: (a) you dispute the accuracy of Personal Information processed by iGM (for a period enabling us to verify its accuracy); (b) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the Personal Information and request the restriction of its use instead; (c) iGM no longer needs the Personal Information for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by you for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; and (d) you have objected to certain processing relying on legitimate interest, pending the verification whether iGM’s legitimate grounds override your rights. Restricted Personal Information shall only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest. We will notify you if the restriction is lifted.
Notification of erasure, rectification and restriction. We will provide notice to each recipient that we disclosed your Personal Information to regarding any rectification or erasure of Personal Information or restriction of processing, unless you initiated the disclosure or providing notice proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Upon your request, we will share the list of recipients with you.
Right to object to processing. Where the processing of your Personal Information is based on consent, contract, or legitimate interests described under the Legal Bases for Processing heading above, you may restrict or object, at any time, to the processing of your Personal Information as permitted by applicable law. We may continue to process your Personal Information if it is necessary for the defense of legal claims, or for any other exceptions permitted by applicable law.
Automated individual decision-making, including profiling. You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal or similarly significant effects on you, except as allowed under applicable data protection laws.
Retention of your Personal Information. Unless you make a request for us to delete your account or delete certain Personal Information (i.e., User Content, etc.), we will store your Personal Information as long as your account is open. If you request to delete your account, we will take the steps described under “Your Choices – Account Deletion” and delete all your Personal Information, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
The rights described above may be limited by local laws. Further, your right of access and deletion is not absolute and may not be available if fulfillment of such right would, among other things:
cause interference with execution and enforcement of the law and legal private rights (such as in the case of the investigation or detection of legal claims or the right to a fair trial);
breach or prejudice the rights of confidentiality and security of others;
prejudice security or grievance investigations, corporate re-organizations, future and ongoing negotiations with third parties, the compliance with regulatory requirements relating to economic and financial management; or
otherwise violate the interests of others or where the burden or cost of providing access would be disproportionate.

iGuideMedical.com Cookie Policy
This cookie policy (“Cookie Policy”) explains what cookies are and how iGuideMedical.com, Inc. (“iGM, we, us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit websites owned and operated by iGM, including www.iguidemedical.com, any other websites, pages, features, or content we own or operate, the iGM mobile app, and/or when you interact with iGM online advertisements or marketing emails (collectively the “Services”). We encourage you to read the full Cookie Policy so that you can understand what information is collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies, and how iGM uses that information. We will generally refer to cookies, web beacons, flash cookies, and pixels collectively as “cookies” or “tracking technology” in this policy. This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Statement and our Terms of Service.
By using our Services, Services you are agreeing that we can use cookies and other tracking technologies described in this Cookie Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are text files, containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your browsing device (such as a computer, mobile device or smartphone) when you visit or use our website or Services. Cookies can be recognized by the website that downloaded them — or other websites that use the same cookies. This helps websites know if the browsing device has visited them before.
There are session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie lasts while your browser is open and is automatically deleted when you close your browser. A persistent cookie lasts until you or your browser deletes the cookies or they expire.
Cookies set by us are called “first party cookies”, while cookies set by parties other than iGM are called “third party cookies”. The parties that set third party cookies can recognize your device, both when you use the Services and when you use other websites or mobile apps. You should check the third party’s website for more information about how they use cookies and other tracking technologies. Both first party and third party cookies can serve a number of different functions, such as analytics, marketing and advertising.
Cookies collect and process both Personal Information (as defined in the Privacy Statement), as well as information that does not identify you as an individual. To the extent that IP addresses or similar identifiers are considered Personal Information by local law, we will treat these identifiers as prescribed under such applicable laws. If we combine non-Personal Information with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated as Personal Information for as long as it remains combined.
2. What other similar tracking technologies does iGM use?
In addition to cookies, we may use other technologies that are similar to cookies, like web beacons, flash cookies, or pixels to track how you use our Services.
Web Beacons: Web beacons, or “clear gifs”, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. Web beacons are placed on a website or in an email that alone or in conjunction with cookies compile information about your usage of or your interaction with the Services. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive or device, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages. Similar to cookies, beacons primarily help us better manage content on our Services by informing us which content is effective.
iGM may collect information about whether you open or click any links in the Services, Research or marketing communications that we send to you through web beacons. The analysis gathered helps us improve the effectiveness of content and format of our websites and email communications.
Flash Cookies: We may also use so-called “flash cookies” (also known as “Local Shared Objects” or “LSOs”) to collect and store information about your use of our Services. Flash cookies are commonly used for advertisements and videos.
Pixels: A “pixel” or “tag” can be placed on a website or within an email for the purposes of tracking your interactions with our websites or when emails are opened or accessed; pixels are often used in combination with cookies.
3. How does iGM use cookies and other tracking technology?
Cookies and other forms of tracking technology play the role of enhancing and enabling usability and website processes across our Services and communications. They help us understand how our Services are being used, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, improving the security of your Personal Information, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your browsing experience.
We also use advertising tracking technology to assist with marketing our products and services to interested individuals. We may present you with an advertisement when you leave our Services because we think you might be interested in particular products and services. Cookies also help ensure marketing you see is more relevant to you and your interests.
