For European users, please see additional provisions in Section 13.

When this website receives or collects information, that information will be owned by Apyx Medical and the use, handling, disclosure and practices with respect to that information will be governed by this Privacy Policy.

1. TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

There are two main types of information we collect about users of this website:

  • “Personally Identifiable Information”is information that identifies you and may include, for example, your full (i.e., first and last) name, phone number, email address, postal address, job title, facility/company name, specialty, and area of interest.
  • “Non-Personally Identifiable Information”is information that relates to you or the computer or mobile device you use to access this website but does not on its own identify you personally. This information may include (for example), information about your use of this website, including web pages you have visited, parts or functions of this website you have used or viewed, content you have accessed or viewed, IP address and device identifiers, information about your Internet connection, and information about the equipment or software you use to access the this website.

2. HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM YOU

We collect information about you in three main ways:

  • Directly from you, when you provide it to us: for example, when you register with the website, complete a contact form or otherwise interact with us.
  • Automatically, when you use this website: we collect information through the use of cookies and similar technologies, through logging your activities on this website. Please see the section regarding Cookies for further information, including your choices in relation to the use of these technologies.
  • From third parties: we may obtain information about you from third parties outside of this website if you interact with us through a social media function such as a plug-in (for example, a Facebook “like” button) then you may be permitting us to have on-going access to some information from your social network profile (such as your name, email address, your friend list, photo, age, gender, location, birthday, social networking ID, current city, the people/sites you follow, and so forth).

3. HOW WE USE INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

We (and our service providers) may use the information we collect about you for a variety of business purposes. For example, we may use that information to:

  • Provide the services and products you have requested;
  • Create an account on this website if you have requested one;
  • Respond to your inquiries, requests, and comments;
  • Provide technical support for the use of this website;
  • Understand how this website is being used so that we can continuously improve the services we provide to you;
  • Send you service-related communications, including announcements and administrative messages;

  • Create consumer profiles and audience segments, which may be used for targeted advertising;
  • Recognize devices you use and associate the information with your profile; and

4. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

We may share Non-Personally Identifiable Information, such as aggregate data and information about your use of this website with third parties. We may also share information about you as disclosed at the time you provide that information, as set forth in this Privacy Policy, and in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers that We Have Retained to Perform Certain Business-Related Functions on Our Behalf: For example, our service providers may offer services such as research, analytics, hosting websites, fulfilling transactions, maintaining databases, and providing technology services. We may also need to share information with other companies in order to enable the uses described above in “How We Use Information About You” or elsewhere in this Privacy Policy. Typically, when these companies are provided with Personally Identifiable Information they are only provided with that Personally Identifiable Information they need to perform their functions and that Personally Identifiable Information can only be used as is necessary to perform the services on our behalf, or to comply with legal requirements. Similarly, where appropriate, we take steps to require third-party service providers to protect Personally Identifiable Information.
  • Sale of Our Business or Assets: If we sell all or part of our business or assets or are otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, we may, in our sole discretion, transfer, sell or assign any or all information to a third party as part of or in connection with that transaction. Upon such a transfer, the privacy policies of the acquiring entity may govern the use and further collection of Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
  • Legal Reasons: We may use or disclose information to cooperate with or enlist the support of law enforcement, government or regulatory bodies, content protection organizations or judicial processes with respect to, or to prevent, suspected or possible fraud or other suspected or possible illegal activities. We may also use or disclose information as we determine appropriate to the extent that records have been subpoenaed or otherwise in connection with pending or potential litigation, or to enforce or protect the rights or safety of Services users, us or others, or for risk management purposes.
