Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Cheal Biomechanics collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Cheal Biomechanics’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Cheal Biomechanics’ visitors use its website. Cheal Biomechanics reserves the right to release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Cheal Biomechanics also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for visitors, logged in users, and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Cheal Biomechanics only discloses visitor, logged in user, and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to the Cheal Biomechanics website choose to interact with Cheal Biomechanics in ways that require Cheal Biomechanics to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Cheal Biomechanics gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address and we ask visitors who send a message using the Contact Form to provide their name and email address. We also collect the email addresses of visitors who wish to receive website updates. In each case, Cheal Biomechanics collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Cheal Biomechanics. Cheal Biomechanics does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Cheal Biomechanics discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Cheal Biomechanics’ behalf or to provide consulting services as contracted with Cheal Biomechanics, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others.

Cheal Biomechanics will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Cheal Biomechanics discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Cheal Biomechanics believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Cheal Biomechanics, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the Cheal Biomechanics website and have supplied your email address, Cheal Biomechanics may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Cheal Biomechanics and our services. We primarily use our blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via an email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Cheal Biomechanics takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
