Cookies
A cookie is a text file stored on your computer's hard drive. Websites
create cookies to record information about your preferences, such as the
items you add to your shopping cart, and for security reasons (see Credit
Card Security below). Most cookies expire after a certain time period. The
most popular browsers, such as Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer, can
be set to give you the option of accepting or rejecting all cookies.
To shop online at biotechcorp.com, your browser will need to be configured to accept cookies. Here's how to do it:
Netscape Navigator 4.x
Click the Edit menu and select Preferences from the browser's drop-down
menu. In the tree structure, click Advanced. Under Cookies, click "Accept
only cookies that get sent back to the originating server" and "Warn me
before accepting a cookie" (optional).
Internet Explorer 4.x
Click the View menu and select Internet Options from the drop-down menu.
Click the Advanced tab, scroll to the Security heading, and select "Prompt
before accepting cookies." We suggest that you accept cookies only from Web
sites created by companies you know and trust. If you wish, you may set your
browser to reject all cookies and still view the site.
Because our online ordering system requires cookies, you will not be able to order online, But you can still place an order by phone, fax or mail.

Use/Sharing of
Personal Information
Your name, shipping and billing addresses, and credit card number(s) are
used by Biotech Corp. in order to provide you with the goods that you
purchase on the Web site. We use your email address to provide you with
information about your order and its status, and we may occasionally send
out emails, including newsletters, to people who have placed an order
online, offering them more great deals. Your phone number is used by Biotech
Corp. only in the event that our customer service representatives need to
contact you about an order you have placed. Biotech Corp. currently does not
share any Personal Information with any third party .
•
Credit Card Security
The Internet is a vast network of computers. Because the data passes from
computer to computer, some Internet shoppers worry that unauthorized persons
may intercept the data and gain access to credit card numbers, but shopping
on a secure site is actually safer than handing a credit card to a waiter in
a restaurant. Taking the steps below will lower the chances of interception
of your credit card number:
Limit your online shopping to Internet merchants, such as biotechcorp.com, with sites equipped with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL prevents unauthorized people from intercepting your data. Use a browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, that supports SSL. These browsers show a symbol in the status bar, such as a key or lock, when you are on a site that uses SSL. Most banks will cover the cost of fraud resulting from unauthorized use of your credit card or may limit your liability.
Credit card information collected by Biotech Corp. is encrypted through Secure Sockets Layer before it is transmitted over the Internet.

Miscellaneous
Biotech Corp. wants you to be aware that when you click on links (including
advertising banners), which take you to third-party websites, you will be
subject to such third parties' privacy policies. While we support the
protection of privacy on the Internet, Biotech Corp. expressly disclaims any
and all liability for the actions of third parties, including without
limitation actions relating to the use and/or disclosure of Personal
Information by third parties.
Our Privacy and Child Protection Policy is subject to change. In the event of any change, we will provide notice of such change on this page.
