Privacy Statement

Education by Breas is under copyright ownership by Breas Medical AB.

Breas Medical AB (“Breas”), Human Design Medical, LLC, Spire DME, LLC, and their affiliates (the “Companies”) are strongly committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. This privacy statement explains the Companies’ data collection and use practices with respect to their websites (the “Sites”). By using the pages in the Sites, you agree to the information collection and use practices described in this Privacy Statement. If you do not agree to the terms set forth herein, do not use the Sites.

Data Controller

Breas (company reg. no. 556434-8968, Företagsvägen 1, 435 33 Mölnlycke, phone no. 031 – 86 88 00) is responsible as data controller for the processing of your personal data.

Collection of Personal Information

We may ask you for information that personally identifies you or provides information about yourself (“personal information”) or allows us to contact you to provide a service or carry out a transaction that you have requested. The personal information we collect may include your name, your address, your telephone number, your credit card number, your email address and other contact information, and other information about products and/or services requested through the Sites. You are not required to provide the personal information that we have requested, but, if you chose not to do so, in many cases we will not be able to provide you with our products or services or respond to questions you may have.

The Sites may also collect certain non-personal information about your visit, such as the name of the Internet service provider and the Internet Protocol (IP) address through which you access the Internet; the date and time you access the Site(s); the pages that you access while at the Site(s) and the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to the Site(s). This information is used, among other reasons, to help improve the Sites, analyze use trends and administer the Sites.

Use of Personal Information

Except as otherwise required by law, the personal information collected on the Sites will be used solely to operate the Sites and to provide the service(s) and/or product(s) or carry out the transaction(s) you have requested or authorized. In support of these purposes, the Companies may use personal information to provide you with more effective customer service, send promotional or advertising materials to you (see opt-out provisions below), to improve the Sites and any related Company products or services, and to make the Sites easier to use by eliminating the need for your repeated entry of the same information. In order to offer you a more consistent experience in your interactions with the Companies, information collected by each Site may be combined with information collected in connection with other Company products and services.

The Companies may occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as website hosting, credit card processing, packaging, mailing/shipping, answering customer questions about products and services, and sending information about our products, special offers, and other services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

The Companies may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on the Companies or the Sites; or (b) protect and defend the rights or property of the Companies and the Sites. The Companies may also disclose personal information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our Terms and Conditions, or protect other users of the Sites.

Control of Personal Information

Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Statement, your personal information will not be shared outside of the Companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates without your permission.

For persons over the age of 13, registering yourself on the Site(s) is free and completely voluntary. If you choose to register with the Site(s) or purchase products through the Site(s), your unique user name will be based on your first and last name and you will need to create a unique password. By using the user name and password, you will be able to access certain portions of the Site(s) that are unavailable to unregistered users and will be able to purchase new products without re-entering your personal information and credit card number. You are solely responsible for choosing the password and maintaining the confidentiality of the password that you choose. It is your responsibility to keep your registration data current and accurate as well as to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Failure to protect the security of these items may permit unauthorized individuals to obtain your personal information and your credit card information. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer. The Companies shall not be liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of someone else using your account, either with or without your knowledge.

You must be 13 years old or over to register an account on the Site(s). No information should be submitted to or posted to the Sites by any child under 13 years of age.

If the Companies determine that an account has been registered by a person under age 13, such account will be terminated. If you are between the ages of 13 and 17, you may use the Site(s) only with your parent or guardian’s consent; the Companies reserve the right to request verification of such parent or guardian’s consent. Personal information of persons between ages 13 and 17 will be collected as described in this privacy statement. By registering an account on the Site(s), you represent that you are age 13 or over.

Security of Personal Information

The Companies are strongly committed to protecting the security of your personal information. When you submit personal information on any Site, the Companies will take all reasonable efforts in order to protect your personal information. The Companies use certain security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure once it is received.
