Your privacy is important to Liberos LLC (“Liberos,” “we,” “us,” and “our”). We want to make sure that you (personally and, if applicable, on behalf of the entity for whom you are using the Website; collectively, “you”) know how we collect, use, share, and secure information on our website (the “Website”). By using our Website, you indicate to us that you have read and accepted our privacy practices, as outlined in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.
We may also interact with you on third party sites where we post content or invite your feedback, such as Facebook, Twitter, or other social media sites, or third party sites that process your purchase of Liberos products (“Third Party Sites”).

You should check the privacy policies of those third parties when providing personal information through Third Party Sites.
Information We Collect
We collect both personal and non-personal information from you. When we use the phrase “personal information” we mean information that identifies you or could reasonably be used to identify you personally (such as your real name, address, phone number, or email address).
How Information Is Collected
By Asking. We may collect some information from you by asking that you provide it to us or you may choose to otherwise provide information to use through one of our Website. To use some of our services, you may provide information such as your name, email address, phone number, personal information regarding your interest in a study, or other information that helps us provide the services on the Website.
Log Data. When you visit the Website, our web servers may automatically collect anonymous information that describes how our visitors use and navigate the Website, which includes the number and frequency of visitors to each web page and the length of their stays, as well as the anonymous information automatically sent to us by your web browser, such as browser type, referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior and subsequent to your visit to our Website, and IP addresses. We also may determine what technology is available through your browser in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page.
Cookies. Each time you visit our Website, our web server automatically recognizes your domain name and what type of browser you are using, by using “cookies,” which are small text files on your computer that identify you as a unique user. These help us measure your activity and personalize and improve your experience on our site. If you do not want us to use cookies, you can set your browser to delete them, or you can manually delete the cookies. You should consult with your browser’s provider if you have any questions regarding disabling cookies. However, if your browser is set to reject cookies or you manually delete cookies, you may have some trouble accessing and using some of the pages and features that are currently on our Website, or that we may put on our Website in the future.
Web Beacons. We may also use web beacons, which let us count and recognize users who visit our Website. This lets us see if you respond to emails that we sent to you by clicking on a link in the email, so we can know whether the emails we send are effective. You can generally avoid web beacons in email by turning off HTML display and displaying only the text portion of your email.
IP Address. An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer or network when you are on the Internet. It is usually associated with the place from which you enter the Internet, like your Internet Service Provider, your company, or your school, though it may also provide information concerning your general geographic location. When you visit our site, we may collect and save the IP address of the device you are using. We may collect IP addresses for a variety of internal purposes, such as system administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, and to audit the number of visits to different pages on our Website.
Device ID. A device ID is a unique number permanently associated with your mobile or other device, such as an iPhone or Android mobile phone. If you visit our Website using a mobile device, we may take note of your device ID and use your device ID to identify you or recognize you if you return, for certain internal purposes such as system administration, and to audit the number of visits to different pages on our Website.
Clear GIFs/Tracking Pixels. A clear GIF or tracking pixel is typically a one-pixel, transparent image (although it may be visible). These may be located on a web page or in an email or other type of message, which is retrieved from a remote site on the Internet enabling the verification of a person’s viewing or receipt of a web page or message and may allow access to certain cookies.
