Data Protection
The Bioinformatics CRO takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. Once we receive your information, it is treated as confidential. Please be aware that It is not possible to fully protect your data from third-party access in the event of a security breach; however, we use SSL encryption to help protect your data from these breaches. If a security breach occurs you will promptly be notified so that you may take necessary precautions.
What is SSL encryption?
SSL encryption prevents the data you transmit to us from being read by third parties. This site uses SSL for security reasons as well as to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us through forms. When your connection is encrypted, you will notice “https://” in your browser bar along with a lock that reads “Secure”.

Your data will be shared only with your permission, which you may revoke at any time to stop the share of personal data and destroy the data which has already been shared.
If we receive requests about you from a government or related to a lawsuit, we will provide your information only if the law requires it. We’ll notify you when we’re asked to hand over your personal information, unless we’re legally prohibited from doing so. Nothing in this policy is intended to limit any legal defenses or objections that you may have to a third party’s request to disclose your information.
The Bioinformatics CRO may make changes to our organizational structuring. For example, if the company is bought, if control of the company is transferred, etc. Should this occur, your information, where relevant, will be passed on any successor, to be used for the purposes which it was originally supplied to us. You will be notified should this transfer occur.
