If you have any questions or concerns about the SecuriGene online policy for this site or its implementation you may contact us at support@securigene.com. We will only store, collect or use personal information that is voluntarily submitted by you. The types of personally identifying information that may be collected at these pages include: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number and fax number. You are fully responsible for the information you submit to SecuriGene. Agents and contractors of SecuriGene who have access to your personal information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice – e.g. not using the information for any purposes other than to carry out the services they are performing for SecuriGene.

Some of our sites contain links to other sites whose information practices may be different to ours. Visitors should consult the other sites’ privacy policies as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by these third parties.

Our DNA Banking Services are strictly confidential and are offered solely for personal use. We do not use or keep your genetic information or DNA samples for research purposes.

Information Safety

Protecting the safety of your information is important to us. The SecuriGene Online Order Form uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) cryptographic technology to ensure secure data transmission. SSL is the gold standard in Internet encryption technology. SSL is a method of scrambling data as it travels from your computer to our website’s servers. Before submitting your information, make sure you are accessing our secure server by checking the lower left-hand corner of your browser. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser) than SSL is active. Another way to ensure you are accessing a secure server, is to check the first few characters in the address bar. The characters should change from “http” to “https”. If for any reason you cannot access the secure server, you may also place your order by phone or by mail by downloading our fax order form. Our Customer Service representatives will be happy to assist you.
