Who collects information?
When you supply personal information on a Laboratory site, you share that information only with Laboratory unless you are specifically told otherwise. If a company other than Laboratory is gathering or maintaining your personal data from our Web site, you will be told before it is collected or transferred. You can always choose not to share the information. When companies other than Laboratory sponsor promotions, data collected on the Laboratory site in connection with these promotions may be shared with the sponsor. Once again, if this is the case, you will be notified before the data is collected or transferred, and you can decide not to participate. Most of these promotions are limited to United States or North American residents. If you leave our Web site using links to go to other third party Web sites, those third parties may gather information about you. This privacy policy does not cover the practices of those businesses.
Does Laboratory share my information?
Other than as stated in this policy, Laboratory does not disclose any of your personal information to third parties without your permission. Read the following sections to learn more.
Other Situations
Laboratory may also disclose your information where disclosure is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with our rights or property rights, the users rights, or others rights. In the same way, Laboratory will disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is required by law or to comply with a legal process served on Laboratory or its Web site. We may disclose your personal information in the good faith belief that we must act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Laboratory, its Web site, or the public.
How does Laboratory protect your credit card and financial information?
We are committed to protecting the privacy of your credit card and financial account information. We do not sell, trade, or rent your financial or credit card information. We do not make this information available to anyone without your permission. We may provide statistical data on our customers to advertisers, partners, vendors, and other reputable third parties. This data is comprised of aggregate or anonymous data only, which does not contain any personally identifiable information. For example, we will not disclose that you purchased a specific product, but we might disclose statistics on how many customers have purchased a specific product. When you enter credit card information on our Web site, we transmit the information in encrypted format, using industry standard, secure socket layer (SSL) encryption.

What are cookies and how does Laboratory use them?
Parts of our learning management system use “cookies” so that it can immediately recognize a user and then ascribe different permissions associated with functionality in the system. A “cookie” is a chunk of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored by your browser on the hard drive of your computer. Your browser settings must be set to accept cookies before you can login or customize. Most browsers are set up to accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to refuse them. Laboratory does not use cookies to retrieve personal information about you from your computer. This policy does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers on our Web site. Laboratory uses cookies to: Locate your name and account information when you log in to your Laboratory Training Center so that you can access your account information. When you log in, the cookie is set, and when you sign-out, the cookie is modified. Estimate the size of our audience. Each browser that accesses Laboratory is given a unique cookie, which is used to calculate how many people return to our Web site, compare the number of registered and unregistered visitors to our site, and use customer interests and behavior to target our advertisements. Help Laboratory partners track visits and complete business transactions. This information is sometimes called “clickstream” or “click trail.”Track the way you use our promotions, contests, and sales. When a Laboratory-hosted promotion uses cookies, the information written to the cookie tracks the user’s progress through the promotion (for example, entries, submissions, and status in prize drawings). Measure the traffic to various areas of the Laboratory Web site. We measure the areas of the network of Web sites you visit and your visiting patterns in the aggregate. This research helps us understand the ways in which our customers are alike and the ways in which they differ. We may use this information to personalize the information and design in our Web site.
