Privacy Policy
​
To underscore our commitment to privacy and our vision that good privacy is good business, we have adopted this online privacy policy and any mobile equivalents, including mobile applications (collectively, “mobile application”), which are commonly owned or operated by Sterile Safe Solutions™ and its affiliates.
This Privacy Policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context.
Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.
This Online Privacy Policy only applies to information collected through our website and any mobile application, if any. Our website and mobile application are not directed at children under the age of thirteen (13).
​
1. Scope of this Privacy Policy
This privacy policy describes how we, and our related websites or mobile applications, will use the personal information collected when you visit our website, and mobile platforms, that contain a link to this privacy policy.
This privacy policy does not apply to websites, applications or mobile platforms that are not linked to this privacy policy or to those operated by third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies posted on those websites, applications and mobile platforms.
​
2. Collection of Information

If you register or provide information in any capacity, any information you provide to us regarding your business (including, but not limited to, the name of the business/practice/firm, address, telephone number, business email address, job title, your professional experience and credentials, your education) will also be considered personal information if necessary to provide you with the services you purchase from Sterile Safe Solutions™

The site may automatically collects certain information regarding your use of the site and the services contained thereon. Examples of information collected automatically include:

We may use and disclose automatically collected information for any purpose, except where we are restricted by applicable law. If we combine any automatically collected information with personal information, the combined information will be treated by us as personal information.
We may also use aggregated information for any purpose; however, this information does not identify specific individuals and so is not personal information.
c. Cookies and Web Beacons
The Service may also automatically collect information through the use of cookies or similar technologies, such as web beacons. Cookies are small text files that a website sends to the browser on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a web page so that the website can recognize your device the next time you visit. Most websites typically use the following
-
“Session” cookies, which are temporary and deleted when you close your browser;
-
“Persistent” cookies, which remain until you delete them, or they expire;
-
Web beacons, which are electronic images, also known as single-pixel gifs.
In general, cookies, web beacons and similar technologies do not contain personally identifiable information, but when you furnish your personal information through the Service, this information may be linked to the non-personally identifiable data stored in cookies sent to your browser from the Service.
Sterile Safe Solutions™ and its service providers use these technologies for various purposes, including facilitating the login process, administering, customizing and improving the service, personalizing the browsing experience; advertising, promotions and surveys. (reporting and paying royalties and license fees to third-party providers, such as authors, societies and other copyright holders and content distributors, as well as, tracking and analyzing user preferences and trends).
There are a number of ways to manage cookies. The “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new browser cookie, and how to disable existing browser cookies. However, if you block cookies, you may not be able to register, login or make full use of the Service. You can also use your mobile device’s settings to manage the available privacy options.
Our HTML-formatted emails may contain a web beacon to tell us whether our emails are opened and verify any clicks through to links or advertisements within the email. We may use this information for purposes including determining which of our emails are more interesting to users, to query whether users who do not open our emails wish to continue receiving them and to inform our advertisers in aggregate how many users have clicked on their advertisements. The web beacon will be deleted when you delete the email. Emails in plain text rather than HTML will not include the web beacon.

11. California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting PII from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. –

​
15. Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
​
16. In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify you via email within seven (7) business days.
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
​

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
