To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Information, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we use your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. When we no longer need to retain your Personal Information, it will be deleted or be anonymized so that you can no longer be identified from it.
How We Protect And Store Your Information
We are committed to making sure your privacy is protected when you use our Website and when we collect information from you. We take the security of your information seriously, and implement a variety of security measures to maintain safety of all Personal Information you provide. We also make sure that third parties we use to process your Personal Information also use appropriate security measures to protect your data.
When we collect sensitive information like your credit card information, that information is encrypted and securely transmitted. For example, we use a secure server for transmitting sensitive information. All supplied sensitive/credit card information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. You can verify that this sensitive information is being transmitted securely by looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the webpage.
After a transaction is completed, your sensitive information (credit cards) will not be stored on our servers.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. We urge you to be careful about entering information on public computers or on public networks.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to or stored on our Website.

California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”)
Effective January 1, 2020, if you are a California resident, you have the rights enumerated below. Please note that the CCPA broadly defines the term “sale” to include disclosure of personal information to third parties for which “valuable consideration” is received (i.e. the receipt of a benefit other than money), a definition which is much broader than the ordinary understanding of the term “sale.” To be clear, we have not and will not disclose personal information to any third parties in exchange for money; however, prior to January 1, 2020, we disclosed personal information to a third party to assist in the operation of our business and received certain information in return. It is possible that someone could claim that this transaction constituted a “sale” for “other valuable consideration” under the CCPA; however, there is no need to opt out of the “sale” of your personal information, as we do not engage in the sale of any personal information.
- You have the right to request that we disclose to you, not more than twice in a 12-month period, the personal information about you that we collect, use, disclose, and “sold” during the 12-month period preceding your request, which shall include as follows:
The categories of personal information that we have collected about you
The categories of sources from which the personal information was collected
The business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information
The categories of personal information that we disclosed or “sold” about you
The categories of third parties with whom we shared, disclosed, or “sold” that personal information, and for what business or commercial purpose
The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you
- You have the right to request the deletion of the personal information that we have collected from you.
- You have the right not to be discriminated against because you exercised your rights under this section of the Privacy Policy, and we will not discriminate against you for doing so.
- You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information; however please note as of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, Safer Diagnostics does not sell your personal information.
We use the above categories of personal information for our legitimate interests, meaning our interests in conducting our business, fulfilling orders and processing transactions, and managing and providing services to you, which include the activities set forth in the above section of this privacy policy entitled “How We Use the Information We Collect.”
If you wish to contact us to submit a request under the California Consumer Privacy Act, please contact us by telephone at 714-696-9960. We may need to verify your identity to enable us to process your request. Disclosure and deletion is subject to our receipt of a verifiable consumer request and exceptions or limitations established by applicable laws and regulations.
