Activity Logging. When You use the AB website, which may be hosted in part or its entirety by a third party, the AB website will collect information indirectly and automatically (through, for example, the use of “cookies” or Your “IP address”) about Your activities. Amicus Brain Innovations uses this activity information (the “Activity Information”) for internal purposes such as to administer the AB website, improve the AB website, and help us understand how the AB website is being used including the demographics and “clickstreams” of its visitors. “Cookies” are small pieces of information stored on Your hard drive, not on the AB website.

An “IP address” is a number that is automatically assigned to Your computer when You use the Internet.
Personally Identifiable Information. The AB website is designed so that You may generally browse it without providing any Personally Identifiable Information (defined below). Certain areas of the AB website, however, may require or allow the voluntarily submission of Personally Identifiable Information (for example, registration to receive Amicus Brain Innovations publications).

In the unlikely event that Amicus Brain Innovations needs to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, we may, and You authorize us to, disclose any information about You to government officials as permitted by applicable law.
Miscellaneous Privacy Terms. We’ve implemented and follow appropriate technical measures to protect against the risks of unauthorized access to, erroneous disclosure of, and unlawful interception of Personally Identifiable Information.
