Privacy Policy

Hillstar Bio, Inc. and its affiliates (“Hillstar Bio,” “we” or “us”) respects the privacy of visitors to its website and is committed to the protection of their personal information. This privacy statement explains data collection and use practices of Hillstar Bio’s website.

Description of the information HILLSTAR BIO may collect on this website and for what purposes Hillstar Bio may use your information:

Personally Identifiable Information:

Hillstar Bio collects personally identifiable information (ie, information from which you can be identified, such as name, address, telephone number or email address or other online identifiers) only when it is asked for and/or you voluntarily submit it to us on this website. We may use the information to respond to your requests, improve our level of service and the content of our website; provide you with information, product news and updates; notify you of new Hillstar Bio products and services; and for our own internal purposes.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information:

Hillstar Bio also collects non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form to track data such as the total number of visits to our website, the number of visitors to each page of our website and the domain names of our visitors' internet service providers. We use this information, which remains in aggregate, non-personally identifiable form, to understand how our visitors use our website so that we may improve our website and the services we offer.

Use of IP Addresses:

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a set of numbers that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you log on to your internet service provider or through your organization’s local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN). Web servers automatically identify your computer by the IP address assigned to it during your session online.

Hillstar Bio or third-party companies acting on our behalf may collect IP addresses for the purposes of systems administration and to audit the use of our website. We do not ordinarily link a user's IP address to personally identifiable information of that user, which means each user's session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us. However, we may use IP addresses to identify users of our website when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with the website's Terms and Conditions of use, or to protect our service, Website, content or other users.

Cookies:

This website uses a technology called "cookies." A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies help provide additional functionality to the website or help us analyze usage of the website more accurately. For instance, our server may set a cookie that keeps you from having to enter a password more than once during a visit to the website. In all cases in which cookies are used, we will not collect personally identifiable information without your explicit permission. The only personally identifiable information Hillstar Bio collects is the information you voluntarily provide.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored, if you prefer. Please refer to your internet browser's instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of this website or any other websites that you visit.

We may ask you to indicate your choice to opt out (and in some situations opt in) of receiving "cookies." We may ask you to indicate your choices at the time and on the page where you provide your information.

Do Not Track Mechanisms:

California law requires this Privacy Policy to address how we respond to any "Do-Not-Track ('DNT') signal" delivered by your browser. Because of the changing state of technology and indecision within the industry regarding the meaning of DNT signals, we currently do not make any guarantee that we will honor DNT signals.

Sharing Personally Identifiable Information with Third Parties:

Hillstar Bio will not sell or rent personally identifiable information to any third party for any purpose. Sometimes selected third parties are used by Hillstar Bio to provide us with support services in connection with our website and such parties may, from time to time, have access to your information to enable them to provide those services to Hillstar Bio. Please rest assured that all companies providing such support services are required by Hillstar Bio to meet certain standards of data protection and are prohibited from using the information for their own marketing purposes.

Hillstar Bio may disclose information to third parties if Hillstar Bio reasonably believes disclosure is necessary to adhere to legal requirements or comply with a legal process, to protect or defend Hillstar Bio's property and/or intellectual property rights, to enforce this Privacy Policy, the Terms and Conditions or any contractually binding agreements we have with you, or to protect other users and/or third parties. This may include disclosure of personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national or state security or law enforcement requirements. Hillstar Bio may also disclose information to a third-party successor if, for example, we transfer the ownership or operation of this Website to another organization or if we merge with or are acquired by another organization or liquidate our assets. If such a transfer occurs, the successor organization's use of your information will still be subject to this Privacy Policy and the privacy preferences you have expressed to us.

Additional Information for Residents of California or Nevada:

If you are a resident of California or Nevada, this section provides additional details about the personal information we collect about you, and your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, or "CCPA," and/or Nevada Law: SB220.

Subject to certain limitations, the CCPA provides you the right to request:

  • That we provide you access to details on the categories or specific pieces of personal information we collect and/or sell (including how we use and disclose this information, to whom we may sell it);
  • That we delete any of your personal information;
  • To opt out of any "sale" of your personal information that may occur; and
  • To not be discriminated against for exercising any of the above rights.

If you would like to submit a request to exercise your California privacy rights under the CCPA, you can make such a request by emailing us at info@hillstarbio.com. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Nevada Law: SB220 permits customers in Nevada to opt out of the sales of certain types of personal information, via the transfer of personal information to third parties for monetary value to allow the third parties to resell or license the information.
