Notice of privacy practices

Pathwork Diagnostics ("Pathwork," "we" or "us"), is committed to protecting the privacy of all visitors to the Pathwork website ("Site"). Pathwork has established this Privacy Policy to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may provide via this Site. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to this Site. This Site is only intended for use by residents of the United States of America.

Although this Site provides links to third-party websites, they are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Pathwork assumes no responsibility for the privacy or security of information you provide to any third party through linked websites or any other means. "Third Parties" means any person or entity other than Pathwork, its majority owned subsidiaries, and you.

By using this Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever you submit information via this Site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

1. What information we collect

We collect two types of information: Personal Information and Passive Information.

Personal Information

We will only collect information that personally identifies you, such as your name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address ("Personal Information"), when you voluntarily submit such information to us at the Site or through e-mail or online forms. We may use your Personal Information for such purposes as complying with your request for information, customizing the advertising and content you see, developing and improving our products to meet your needs, and communicating with you about new products and information. We will not sell or rent your Personal Information to any third party without your consent.

This Site is not intended or designed to attract children under the age of 13. We do not collect Personal Information from any person we know to be under the age of 13.

Passive Information

As you navigate through this Site, certain anonymous information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags or Web beacons, and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, clickstream) ("Passive Information"). Your Internet browser automatically transmits to this Site some of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the website you just came from and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser version your computer is currently using. This Site may also collect anonymous information from your computer through cookies and Internet tags or Web beacons. You may set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or to refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of this Site might not work without cookies. This Site may use and combine such passively collected anonymous information to provide better service to Site visitors, customize the Site based on your preferences, compile and analyze statistics and trends, and otherwise administer and improve the Site for your use. Such information is used in the aggregate and is not combined with personally identifiable information collected elsewhere on the Site unless you have consented. Many companies offer programs to help you visit websites anonymously. While Pathwork may not be able to provide you with a personalized experience if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these programs are available.

2. How we use your Personal Information

Pathwork uses your Personal Information to process your requests and transactions, offer or furnish additional products and services, personalize the types of information you receive from Pathwork, assess trends in the use of our Site or purchases of products or services, develop content and functionality that helps us serve our customers' needs, and improve the service and products we provide.

We may share your personally identifiable information with Third Parties that assist us in providing our services or carrying out your account needs. We also may sell or license aggregated information (that is, without personally identifying details) to Third Parties. As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets, or Pathwork might be acquired by another company. In any of those circumstances, Personal Information in our databases may be included among the transferred assets.

Pathwork may also use your Personal Information to prevent harm or injury, to prevent fraud, to protect our legal interests, to comply with or respond to legal process, and to comply with applicable laws.

Pathwork may also collect and use your Personal Information for internal purposes. For example, resumes submitted by job applicants may be viewed by our human resources department personnel, hiring managers, employees who will be interviewing the candidate, and the administrative assistants to these individuals for applicant screening and hiring purposes, and for general human resources purposes.

Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your Personal Information will be shared with Third Parties.

3. Access, correction and deletion

To keep personally identifiable information that you provide via this Site accurate, current, and complete, please contact us as specified below and we will take appropriate steps to update or correct such information in our possession, or to delete your information from our contact list. Please note that some information may remain in our records after such deletion.

4. Security

We will take reasonable steps to protect personally identifiable information as you transmit it to our Site and to protect such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this site may not be secure.

5. Transfer to unrelated Third Parties

If we transfer personally identifiable information to a third party that is acting as our agent, unless you are otherwise notified, such party will only have the right to use such information to carry out services on our behalf.

6. Changes to this Policy

We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time. Please check the Privacy Policy when you use our Site to ensure that you are aware of any changes in our privacy practices. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used. Our Privacy Policy will indicate the date it was last updated.
