How We Use Tracking Technologies

We may utilize online identification tools—such as cookies, web beacons, pixels or similar tracking technologies—in accordance with applicable law and requirements. “Cookies” are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website; they store information which is sent back to our servers or those of third parties.
For more information on the ways we use cookies, please consult our Cookie Notice.

How We Protect Your Personal Data

Cardio Partners takes reasonable measures to protect your personal data from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our server uses advanced encryption and firewall technology to keep your personal data private. Our secure server layer (SSL) software fully encrypts the information you input so that it cannot be read as it travels to our ordering system. However, Cardio Partners cannot guarantee “perfect security” and cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or others through the Website. Such information is transmitted at your own risk.

How Long We Retain Your Personal Data

We will store your personal data for no longer than is necessary for the performance of our obligations or to achieve the purposes for which the information was collected, or as may be permitted under applicable law. To determine the appropriate retention period, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data; the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the data; the purposes for which we process the data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means; and the applicable legal requirements. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, at the end of the retention period we will remove personal data from our systems and records or take appropriate steps to properly anonymize it.
