Your privacy is important to us. Here’s how we insure your privacy and use any personal data that we may collect from you:

• E-mail addresses: Names or e-mail addresses of registered users will be used only by the Center for Biofilm Engineering at Montana State University.  Personal information will not be shared with other third parties without the users explicit permission.
• Tracking user activity: We do not and will not use cookies or any other technology to track or report on user activity when they are NOT at BiofilmsONLINE.com, nor pass user data to other Web sites.
• We may use member data to direct editorial content to members who are most likely to be interested in information about specific subject matter.
• We may use your email addresses to advise users of current news and features published at BiofilmsONLINE.com.
• Market Research. We may write or call in the process of performing market research about our service. Any research on behalf of a third party will be clearly identified as such.
• Special Services. We may offer services on a limited basis to demographically identified groups of users.
• At the user’s request, we may provide communications and services between a third party and the BiofilmsONLINE.com user. For example, industry scientists may wish to request biocide samples from a manufacturer. This would require that the user release their name and address to the manufacturer. In all such instances the information to be released to the third party will be explicitly noted to the user.
