Except as written in any other disclaimers, policies, terms of use, or other notices on this website, this Privacy Statement and the Terms of Use are the complete agreement between you and Polaris with respect to your use of this website. You may be subject to additional terms that may apply when you access specific services or materials on certain areas in this website, or when you follow a link from this website.

In some places on this website you have the opportunity to send us personal information about yourself, to elect to receive particular information, or to participate in an activity. For example, you may fill out a registration form, a survey, or an e-mail form and you may elect to receive educational material about our products.

You also may choose to allow us to personalize your visits to the website, in which case we will ask you for certain personal information to make your visits to our website more helpful to you. When this information is combined with the information that we collect through cookies (described below), we will be able to tell that you have visited our website before and can personalize your access to our website, for example, by telling you about new features that may be of interest to you.

HOW DOES POLARIS KEEP AND USE PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We may keep and use personal information we collect from you through this website to provide you with access to this website. In addition, we may keep and use your personal information:

to respond to your requests
to personalize your access to our website, for example, by telling you about new features that may be of interest to you, or to the extent you set up a Polaris account, to allow you to properly use that account.
to develop records, including records of your personal information
to contact you with information that might be of interest to you, including, to the extent permitted by law, information about clinical trials and educational and marketing communications about products and services of ours and of others
for analytical purposes and to research, develop and improve programs, products, services and content
to remove your personal identifiers (your name, e-mail address, social security number, etc.). In this case, you would no longer be identified as a single unique individual. Once we have de-identified information, it is non-personal information and we may treat it like other non-personal information.
to enforce this Privacy Statement and other rules about your use of this website
to protect our rights or property
to comply with a law or regulation, court order or other legal process

Polaris will not share your personal information collected from this website with an unrelated third-party without your permission, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Statement.

In the ordinary course of business, we will share some personal information with companies that we hire to perform services or functions on our behalf. For example, we may use different vendors or suppliers to ship you products or information that you order and/or request on our website. In these cases, we provide the vendor with information to process your order/request such as your name and mailing address. In cases in which we share your personal information with a third party vendor, we will not authorize them to keep, disclose or use your information with others except for the purpose of providing the services we asked them to provide.

We may be legally compelled to release your personal information in response to a court order, subpoena, search warrant, law or regulation. We may cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating and prosecuting website visitors who violate our rules or engage in behavior which is harmful to other visitors (or illegal).

We may disclose your personal information to third parties if we feel that the disclosure is necessary to:

enforce this Privacy Statement and the other rules about your use of this website
protect our rights or property
fulfill obligations relating to a corporate sale, merger, dissolution, or acquisition
comply with a law or regulation, court order or other legal process

Please note: In addition to the ways that we may keep, disclose, and use information described in this Privacy Statement, we also may keep, disclose, and use personal information in ways that we believe are consistent with governmental guidance, directions, regulations, and laws, where applicable.
