1. Collection of Personal Information from Site Visitors

Except as specifically set forth herein, OptiNose may collect or track (a) the home server domain names, date and time of your visit, type of computer, the originating IP address, files downloaded, search engine used, operating system, and type of Web browser of visitors to the Site; (b) the e-mail addresses of visitors that communicate with OptiNose via e-mail; (c) information knowingly provided by the visitor in online forms, registration or membership forms, surveys, e-mail, and other online avenues (including, without limitation, demographic and personal profile data); (d) aggregate and user-specific information regarding which pages a user accesses; and (e) for users who opt-in to the Geolocation service (described in greater detail in Section 6 below), the location of visitors to the Site.

OptiNose may place Internet “cookies” on your hard drive. Internet cookies are small amounts of data that contain a unique identifier that many websites frequently send to your web browser to be stored on your computer’s hard drive in order to save data about you, such as your name, password, user-name, screen preferences, and the pages of a website you have viewed. When you revisit the Site, OptiNose may recognize you by your Internet cookies and customize your experience accordingly. You may decline Internet cookies by using the appropriate feature of your Web browser software, if available.

OptiNose may use Google Analytics or a similar service to gather, store, and track certain information related to your visit to and activity on the Site.

When a visitor performs a search within the Site, OptiNose may record information identifying the visitor or linking the visitor to the search performed and recording information related to the search request.

2. Use of Personal Information Collected

Personal information collected by OptiNose may be used by OptiNose for many reasons, for example, for recordkeeping, editorial and feedback purposes, marketing and promotional purposes, statistical analysis of users’ behavior, product development, content improvement, or to customize the content and layout of the Site. Aggregate data on visitors’ home servers may be used for internal purposes, and individually identifying information, such as names, postal and e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and other personal information which visitors voluntarily provide to OptiNose may be added to OptiNose’s databases and used for future calls and mailings regarding Site updates, new products and services, and upcoming events.

3. Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties

Except as provided herein, individually identifying personal information provided through the Site will not be sold or otherwise disclosed to third parties not affiliated with OptiNose.

Identifiable and non-identifiable visitor information and data may be disclosed or distributed to another party with which OptiNose enters or reasonably may enter into a corporate transaction, such as, for example, a merger, consolidation, acquisition, or asset purchase, or to a third party pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other form of legal process, in response to a request by or on behalf of any local, state, federal, or other government agency, department, or body, whether or not pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other form of legal process, or if determined by OptiNose in its sole judgment that such disclosure or distribution is appropriate to protect the life, health, or property of OptiNose or any other person or entity. Identifiable and non-identifiable visitor information and data which visitors provide to OptiNose may also be provided to third parties that contract with OptiNose to provide products, information or other services that OptiNose believes that visitors may be interested in obtaining.

While OptiNose may undertake efforts to see that any third party to which OptiNose discloses personal information is under an obligation to use the personal information solely for the purposes for which the information was disclosed, such third parties are independent third parties over which OptiNose exercises no control. OptiNose is not responsible for, and will not be liable for, the conduct, actions, omissions, or information handling or dissemination practices of third parties.
