Ortivus is committed to protecting the privacy of ortivusna.com's users and has created this Privacy Statement to outline ortivusna.com's information collection practices. If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Statement, please send an email to webmaster@ortivusna.com.
What information is collected and how is it used?
Users are asked to provide information about themselves (e.g., name), contact information (e.g., email address and telephone number), and information about their company (e.g., company name, location) when they request to be contacted by the Company's sales team by filling out a lead form on the site. This information enables Ortivus's sales team to respond promptly and effectively to customer questions and requests.
Ortivus may track the domains from which people visit ortivusna.com and analyze this data for trends and statistics. Subject to the provisions of this Privacy Statement, Ortivus may use accumulated data for several purposes, including but not limited to marketing analysis, service evaluation and planning.
Through ortivusna.com, the Company may conduct surveys or other studies of its user base and usage for marketing and planning purposes. With respect to information collected from such surveys or studies, and in the event that responses are to be publicly disclosed, users will be notified at the time they take the survey and Ortivus will disclose only aggregate information regarding its users and not personal information identifying any specific individual. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in cases where surveys allow users to submit written comments, and where the Company advises users of the possibility of such disclosure at the time they take the survey, Ortivus reserves the right to disclose text information provided by any user through such a survey, provided that no personal information identifying that user is disclosed. Participation in such surveys is at the user's option. Circumstances under which the Company would publicly disclose such aggregate information include, but are not limited to, sharing survey results with the site population, and publicizing overall usage data in press communications.

Users may "opt-in" to receive site notifications, newsletters or other information via email. Users may remove themselves from such services at their discretion. Any email sent to an "opt-in" list will include directions for how a user may remove himself or herself from the list, or a URL where the user may find such directions. If you no longer wish to receive periodic email updates from Ortivus, please send an email to webmaster@ortivusna.com.
