Privacy Policy
Effective Date: March 2008
Sybron Dental Specialties, Inc. (“SYBRON") takes seriously the
confidentiality of your personal information. The following
Privacy Policy sets forth our information gathering and
dissemination practices for this website and other related SYBRON
websites. BY ACCESSING OR USING THIS WEBSITE, YOU HEREBY AGREE
TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION
AND USE OF INFORMATION AS DISCUSSED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU
DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, DO NOT ACCESS
THIS WEBSITE.
Information Collection and Use
Sybron is the sole owner of the information collected on this
website. SYBRON may collect information you voluntarily share with
us, such as your name, address, email address, physical address,
financial information, telephone number, as well as other
information, for example through Internet Protocol ("IP")
addresses and the use of "cookies", which may be placed on your
computer when you access the website. (See the sections on IP
Addresses and Cookies below.) From time-to-time our website
requests information from users via surveys or contests.
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary
and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose
this information. We will not sell, share, or rent this
information to other companies or individuals.
SYBRON may collect any content, record, or electronic
communication of any kind, including without limitation your (1)
contact information, (2) financial information, (3) demographic
information, and (4) other personal information you submit on this
website so that we may provide you with the information or
services that you request, and so that we may communicate with you
and send you information and materials for marketing and other
purposes, subject to applicable laws and the terms of this Privacy
Policy.
On some SYBRON web sites, as an option, we provide online forms
for users to register to receive product information, techniques,
promotions, or other publications via email and/or direct mail.
This information is not sent out in an unsolicited manner, and is
only sent to users that have expressed an interest in receiving
the information. On all email newsletters and sign-up forms we
provide information on how to unsubscribe from email distribution
lists.
All personal information submitted to us via information request
forms is used only to send users the promotional material and is
only accessible by SYBRON employees and contractors involved in
the fulfillment of the information.
Cookies
Sybron may use cookies to track the use of our website and to
facilitate and enhance your experience on our website. A cookie is
a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing
information about the user, and is used in places where the user
must log into an area via a user name and password, or to note the
capabilities of a user's web browser in order to provide properly
formatted content. For instance, by setting a cookie on our
website, the user would not have to log in a password more than
once, thereby saving time while on our website. Usage of a cookie
is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information
such as names or email address while on our website. Most web
browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can disable this
function so that your browser will not accept cookies. Please be
aware that disabling this function may impact your use and
enjoyment of this website.
IP Addresses
Your Internet Protocol ("IP") address is usually associated with
the place from which you enter the Internet, like your Internet
Service Provider, your company or your university. Our server may
also record the referring page that linked you to us (e.g.,
another website or a search engine); the pages you visit on this
website, the website you visit after this website; the ads you
see; the ads you click on; other information about the type of web
browser, computer, platform, related software and settings you are
using; any search terms you have entered on this website or a
referral website; and other web usage activity and data logged by
our web servers. We may use your IP address to help diagnose
problems with our servers, gather broad demographic information,
and administer our website. SYBRON logs IP addresses for systems
administration purposes. We may also link this information with
your personal information when we feel that it is necessary to
enforce compliance with our rules and policies or terms of service
or to protect our website, customers or others.
Access by Children:
This website is not intended for use by children, especially those
under age 13. No one under age 13 is allowed to provide any
personal information or use our public discussion areas, forums
and chats and SYBRON does not knowingly collect or use information
from children under 13 through this website.
Links
This web website contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that SYBRON is not responsible for the privacy practices of such
other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave
our website and to read the privacy statements of each and every
web website that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by
this Web website.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a
friend about our website, we ask them for the friend’s name and
email address. SYBRON will automatically send the friend a
one-time email inviting them to visit the website. SYBRON stores
this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time
email. The recipient may send an email to webmaster@sybrondental.com
to request the removal of this information from this database.
Security
We limit access to personally identifiable information about you
to our employees and third-party agents, who we reasonably believe
need to have access to your information to provide you with the
information or services you request from SYBRON. This website has
security measures in place to help protect against the loss,
misuse and alteration of the information under our control. While
we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will
not occur, SYBRON uses industry standards, such as Secure Socket
Layers ("SSL") technology, to help safeguard against such
occurrences. In certain areas, the information passed between your
browser and our system is encrypted with SSL technology to create
a protected connection between you and our website to ensure
confidentiality. In the event that a breach into our security
systems occurs and there is a possibility that an unauthorized
person acquires your personal information, SYBRON will notify you
of such a breach under applicable law. If you have any questions
about the security at our website, you can send an email to
webmaster@sybrondental.com
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as
your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we
will correct, update or remove that user’s personal data provided
to us. This can be done by contacting the SYBRON Webmaster at
webmaster@sybrondental.com.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their
information used for purposes not directly related to our website
at the point where we ask for the information. For example,
certain customer care request forms allow the user to note that
their question or request should be kept private and not included
in a frequently asked question area.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on this page so our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if
any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at
the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an
email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their
information in this different manner. We will use information in
accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was
collected.
