HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION
We generally retain your information as long as
reasonably necessary to provide you the Services or to
comply with applicable law and in accordance with our
document retention policy. To determine the appropriate
retention period for personal information, we consider
the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal
information, the potential risk of harm from
unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal
information, the purposes for which we process your
personal information and whether we can achieve those
purposes through other means and the applicable legal
requirements. We may retain copies of information about
you and any transactions or Services you have used for a
period of time that is consistent with applicable law,
applicable statute of limitations or as we believe is
reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law,
regulation, legal process or governmental request, to
detect or prevent fraud, to collect fees owed, to
resolve disputes, to address problems with our Services,
to assist with investigations, to enforce other
applicable agreements or policies or to take any other
actions consistent with applicable law.
In some circumstances we may anonymize your personal
information (so that it can no longer be associated with
you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case
we may use this information indefinitely without further
notice to you. This allows the specific information
collected (name, email, address, phone number, etc.) to
become anonymous, but allows Cygnus to keep the
transaction or engagement data. For example, Cygnus will
not be able to tell if John Smith purchased a particular
product, but we will be able to tell that a person
purchased a product and the related transactional
history. This will allow Cygnus to maintain a level of
information that helps us develop and improve our sites
and Services.
Subject to legal requirements, we retain Employment
Information for the length of employment plus an
additional seven (7) years.
-
MARKETING AND PROMOTIONAL COMMUNICATIONS
You may unsubscribe from receiving marketing and
promotional messages from Cygnus, if those messages are
powered by Cygnus, by following the instructions in
those messages or in your account settings. If you
decide to unsubscribe, you will still receive
non-promotional communications relevant to your use of
our Services such as transactional messages related to
requests for Services and product orders.

SECURITY
We take reasonable measures, including administrative,
technical, and physical safeguards, to protect your
information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized
access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We hold
information about you both at our own premises and with
the assistance of third-party service providers. Further
public disclosure here of our security measures could
aid those who might attempt to circumvent those security
measures. If you have additional questions regarding
security, please feel free to contact us directly using
the information provided under
CONTACT INFORMATION. To ensure that our
employees comply with our privacy
policies, we have developed a training program that
provides all employees with the tools and knowledge to
protect your personal information in all aspects of

policies is subject to disciplinary action, including

prosecution.

deletes all of the California resident's

Cygnus will no longer be able to send

DO NOT TRACK
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is an optional browser setting that
allows you to express your preferences regarding
tracking across websites. Most modern web browsers give
you the option to send a Do Not Track signal to the
websites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to
be tracked. However, there is no accepted standard for
how a website should respond to this signal, so we do
not take any action in response to this signal. Cygnus
does not have a mechanism in place to respond to DNT
signals. Instead, in addition to publicly available
third-party tools, we offer you the choices described in
this Privacy Policy to manage the collection and use of
information about you.
Cygnus does track some activity across websites
(including your search terms, the website you visited
before you visited or used the Services and other
clickstream data) and we may continue to collect
information in the manner described in this Privacy
Policy from web browsers that have enabled DNT signals
or similar mechanisms.
