3. Disclosure of Your Personal Information
We may share your Personal Information with service providers, Health Consultants, laboratories, partners, and other trusted third parties where it is necessary to provide the Services that you have requested or consented to, or for other purposes as described in this Privacy Policy. These agents, contractors or partners are restricted to only access your Personal Information to perform tasks required for the Services, and are obligated to not use or disclose your Personal Information for any other purpose. We may be required to disclose your Personal Information if we believe that is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to and comply with applicable local, state or federal laws and regulations (e.g. in response to a court order or subpoena); (b) protect the rights, property and safety of Genetrack, its employees, its users, and the public; (c) enforce the agreements entered into between you and Genetrack; and (d) investigate, prevent and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues.4. Storing Your Personal Information
The information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of your country of domicile. It may also be processed by our staff and affiliates operating outside of your country of domicile, who may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of any requests and the provision of support services. The Personal Information you provide to us may be stored on our servers or those of our third-party service providers. By submitting your Personal Information, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We take steps we believe reasonably necessary so that your Personal Information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you no longer wish to access or use our Services, you may contact us at privacy@genetrack.ae to request the deletion of your Account and associated Personal Information. Upon receipt of your request, Genetrack will verify your identity and delete your Account and associated Personal Information, except to the extent applicable law requires the retention of such information.5. Do Not Track Disclosure
Most web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer, include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we currently do not change our tracking practices in response to the DNT settings in your web browser. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy. Our third party partners, such as web analytics companies, collect information about your online activities over time and across the Site. These third parties may not change their tracking practices in response to the DNT settings in your web browser, and we do not obligate these parties to honor these settings.6. Data Security
We follow industry standards on information security technologies and procedures to help protect your sensitive information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. We secure your personal data on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When sensitive information is collected on our Site and/or transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Even though we strive to provide the most secure environment for the processing of your personal data, we cannot completely rule out the possibility of unauthorized access, use or disclosure. In the case of such a personal data breach, we will inform the competent supervisory authority without undue delay and act swiftly to address the situation. If the personal data breach is likely to harm you, we will also inform you about the personal data breach without undue delay.7. Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Site, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Site. In addition, the Services are not directed to individuals under 18 years of age, and we request that they not provide Personal Information through the Services. We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use Personal Information from children under 18 years of age. If we learn that Personal Information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at privacy@genetrack.ae, and we will take steps to immediately delete that information.8.
