Orqis Web Site Privacy Statement

Orqis Medical Corporation ("Orqis," "we" or "us") is strongly committed to your right to privacy and this Privacy Statement is incorporated into and forms a part of the Terms of Use and the agreement you have with us concerning your use of our Site and terms that are not defined below have the meaning that is given them in those Terms of Use. Generally, we collect Personal Information (i.e., personally identifiable, non-public information) only when you use our Site and we take reasonable measures to protect your Personal Information while it is in our care.

By submitting Personal Information to us when you use our Site or otherwise provide it to us, you agree to our use of such data as described in this Privacy Statement. Should you have questions, please contact us at webmaster@orqis.com.

Data Collection
Orqis only collects Personal Information you voluntarily provided to us when you use the Site. Personal Information may include data such as your username, e-mail address and any additional information you provide, whether at your discretion or in response to our request. We attempt to limit the Personal Information we collect to the minimum required to complete a visitor's transaction with us, exchange information or otherwise provide the service you request. We make every reasonable commercial effort to avoid excessive or irrelevant collection of Personal Information. If you have questions or believe we are using more Personal Information than is necessary for these purposes, please contact us at webmaster@orqis.com.

We do not seek any sensitive Personal Information through our Site unless we are legally required or permitted to do so. Unless there is a legal or regulatory reason for us to obtain such information, we do not wish to receive it and ask that you not provide information of this nature to us. You understand, acknowledge and agree that if you do voluntarily provide any such sensitive Personal Information to us absent our request, we will have no obligation to treat it confidentially or as if it were Personal Information and we may use and share such information freely without notice or obligation to you. If you have registered, we will provide reasonably conspicuous opportunities, consistent with our legal obligations, to permit you to unsubscribe or 'opt out' from mailing lists or any registrations. Alternatively, you may contact our Webmaster at webmaster@orqis.com at any time.

Use of Data
We use Personal Information only for the purposes stated at the time the information is collected or as otherwise specifically set forth in our agreement with you (see our Terms of Use). Except with your permission or as described in the section below titled "Third Parties," or as otherwise stated in our agreement with you, we do not share identifying data with any nonaffiliated company. Although we may track the numbers of Site visitors, Personal Information is not extracted in this process. We use tracking information in the aggregate to help us operate the Site, improve our service, and to display advertising and marketing information. We collect Personal Information about you when you visit and use our Site, when you enter or input information, whether you are registering, signing up, ordering or purchasing products or services, or during other exchanges of information, transactions and activities when you use our Site. We may use the information we obtain from you, including, Personal Information, to tailor your experience on our Site, to display Content we think may be of interest you, or to let us customize what you see when you visit the Site according to your preferences.

We do not provide your Personal Information to nonaffiliated organizations. We may send you e-mail and any e-mail you send us will be handled as required by any applicable laws. Some of the aggregate information we collect may be shared with advertising companies to improve our Site, but we don't give them your Personal Information in that process. We use reasonable efforts to:

• collect and use Personal Information only to deliver better service, administer our business and provide Content on our Site;
  
  
• protect Personal Information, and limit access to employees who are trained and advised in the proper handling of such information - employees who violate our security and confidentiality standards are subject to discipline;
  
  
• prevent disclosure of Personal Information to nonaffiliated organizations, except as described in this Privacy Statement or if we have obtained your consent;
  
  
• advise you, in easy to understand language, how you may remove your name from our registration lists or subscriptions;
  
  
• require any other organization that we retain or engage to provide services for us in connection with our Site, to conform to our Privacy Statement and to allow us to audit them for compliance;
  
  
• keep any Personal Information complete, up to date and accurate based on information you provide. Our Site provides a convenient and easy means to access and update the Personal Information you give us and to notify us about inaccuracies which we will promptly correct.

Cookies
Orqis does not currently store "cookies" on your PC permanently and nor employ cookies to transmit Personal Information. Orqis may use "session cookies," which temporarily stores information in a browser's memory and passed back to the applicable server whenever a request for a new page on the Site is made while you are browsing our Site. The session cookie is not saved, nor written to disk, and information in the session cookie is only valid for that one particular session. Session cookies are discarded when the browser is closed. Most web browsers automatically accept session cookies and virtually all of the popular browsers today may be configured to provide you with notice of when a session cookie (or any other cookie) is about to be placed on the browser. No information is saved in these session cookies other than an identification number associated with the particular session.
Children

Our Site is not intended for use by minors and certainly not by any children 13 years of age or younger. Orqis does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children and if we become aware that a child 13 or younger has registered or is attempting to register, we will notify them that they are not eligible for registration, or if they have already registered, we will cancel their registration and attempt to expunge all Personal Information that we can identify may have been previously collected unknowingly, from our records.
Third Parties

As you can appreciate, we cannot fully ensure your Personal Information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, we may be required to provide information to a governmental agency or a court; or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions. Additionally, we may (and you authorize us to) disclose your Personal Information to private entities, law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to investigate or resolve possible problems, to protect our business and assets and to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. In general, it is our practice to only disclose Personal Information to third parties if and to the extent consistent with these principles. We do not collect, compile, maintain or retain Personal Information for dissemination or sale to nonaffiliated third parties for consumer marketing purposes and we do not host mailings on behalf of third parties.
Third Party Links

Hyperlinked Sites do not operate under our Privacy Statement and when you go to Hyperlinked Sites, our Privacy Statement no longer applies and you will be governed by whatever terms of use, conditions and privacy practices that particular site follows, if any. We encourage you to review each site's privacy policy before disclosing any personally identifiable, non-public information.
Access

You have the right to know and review the accuracy of any Personal Information you have submitted to Orqis through the Site. Inquiries about the accuracy of Personal Information, or requests to have Personal Information removed from our records, should be directed to webmaster@orqis.com. We do not assume responsibility for verifying the ongoing accuracy of Personal Information and you should notify us whenever any of the Personal Information you have submitted changes, since keeping it updated is your responsibility. When you notify us that any of your Personal Information is no longer accurate, we will make appropriate corrections based on the updated information you provide to us.

To "opt-out" of receiving communications from Orqis (except for communications necessary for your use of the Site), or any other consent previously granted for a specific purpose concerning your personally identifiable information, send an e-mail to Orqis at webmaster@orqis.com.
Security

We have implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction. We maintain safeguards to protect your Personal Information and while no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure from intrusion, we will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to protect your Personal Information we collect and maintain.
Modifications

As part of our agreement with you, we reserve the right to modify or amend this Privacy Statement at any time and post notices of change for a reasonable period of time on our Site or, if you have registered, in our communications with you.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
If you are a resident of the State of California, under a new provision of the California Civil Code, have the right to request from us, because we conduct business in California, a list of all third parties to which we have disclosed Personal Information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that if we have a privacy policy that provides either an opt-out or opt-in choice for use of your Personal Information by third parties (such as advertisers or affiliated companies) for marketing purposes, we may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.

Although Orqis would qualify for the alternative option if it provided Personal Information to third parties for direct marketing purposes because it does have a comprehensive privacy policy and Orqis would not be required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties that received your personally identifiable information for marketing purposes during the preceding year, as noted above, Orqis does not provide your Personal Information to any nonaffiliated organizations. If you are a California resident and want to request information about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices, you must send a request to the following address with a preference on how our response to your request should be sent (email or postal mail). You may contact us in two ways. Send email with the Subject "Privacy Administrator" to webmaster@orqis.com. Alternatively, you may contact us by mail at:
