How LabSpace Uses Your Profile and Professional Data
To Contact You. LabSpace uses your Profile Data and your Professional Data to contact you regarding: your account, changes to the website, website newsletters, and special offers open to LabSpace Members. You may opt-out of these communications if you so choose by contacting us at support@labspace.io. Should you opt-out, LabSpace reserves the right to send you notices regarding the status of your account. LabSpace may use Profile Data to contact you, and may also enhance or merge Profile Data with data obtained from other parties for the same purposes.
Market Analysis. At times, LabSpace will collect, retain, and use your Profile Data for market analysis. LabSpace may also compile and distribute reports to third parties using Profile Data and Professional Data; however, individuals will never be identified in these reports.
Back Up. LabSpace may keep a backup copy of all Profile Data and Professional Data for a reasonable period of time to allow the website and its Members to revert back to a prior version of that Data.
Access to Your Profile and Professional Data
LabSpace does not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise disclose your Profile Data or your Professional Data, other than as stated in this Privacy Policy and in the Terms of Use, unless you first provide us with written or electronically transmitted permission to do so.
Default Settings. By default, certain aspects of your Professional Data are viewable on LabSpace only by you, by Members and Users to whom you designate access, or by all LabSpace Members and Users. The relationships you have with other Members (as defined in the Terms of Use) determines these default access levels. Your Profile Data is, by default, viewable by both LabSpace members and the general public. Members may elect to restrict access to their Profile data to LabSpace Members only, and they may exclude their Profile email address from all LabSpace Members and Users. Relationship definitions do not affect access to Profile Data. Profile data will appear in LabSpace-restricted search results, and may be made available to third party search engines.
Privacy Settings. LabSpace Members can control the privacy settings applicable to their Profile Data and their Professional Data on the Service, and may modify those settings at any time.
It is your responsibility to apply appropriate privacy settings to the Profile and Professional Data you submit through the Service. Privacy settings are available to restrict access to Profile and Professional Data that is proprietary or otherwise sensitive. For example, reagents can be stored in user-generated "Private Inventories". When a reagent is placed in a Member's private inventory only he or she can see that reagent, and it is not shared among his or her labmates. Members can make adjustments to these privacy settings at any time.
You should understand that no security measures are perfect or inviolable, and while LabSpace makes reasonable effort to preserve the integrity of the privacy structure in the Service, you post Profile Data and Professional Data at your own risk. LabSpace is not responsible for circumvention of any of our privacy settings. LabSpace cannot guarantee that the Data you submit through the Service will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. In the event of a security breach we will notify the affected Members and repair the breach in a reasonable amount of time.
Incidental Access. LabSpace works with other companies to provide information technology services to its Members and Users. These companies may have access to LabSpace's databases, but only for the purposes of providing service to LabSpace. For example, a third party may obtain access to your Profile or Professional Data in an effort to update database software, or manage data. These companies will operate under consumer confidentiality agreements with LabSpace.
Members and Users should report any unauthorized activity or unauthorized use of information to support@labspace.io as soon as they become aware of such activity. Unauthorized use of Profile Data or Professional Data violates this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use.
Invitations
If you choose to use our invitation service, we will ask you for information needed to send the invitation, such as a colleague's email address. LabSpace stores this information to send this invitation, to register a friend connection if your invitation is accepted, and to track the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at support@labspace.io to request that we remove this information from our database.
Age Restriction
Registration, use of, or access to the website by people under eighteen (18) years of age is a violation of this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use. By registering with LabSpace, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older and that you agree to and will comply with all of the terms of this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use.
LabSpace reserves the right to terminate access to Members and Users at any time with or without cause.
