Privacy Policy
deCODE
takes your online privacy seriously. deCODE does not gather
personally identifiable information about visitors to the deCODE
Website except as described below. In some circumstances,
deCODE may request relevant personal information from you, such as your
name, e-mail address, company name or telephone number. Your
response to these inquiries is strictly voluntary. deCODE
uses this information to customize your experience on this Website and
to process specific requests you may choose to make. For
instance, if you do not provide deCODE with your e-mail address, deCODE
will not be able to include you on its mailing lists. In
general, however, you may visit this Website without divulging any
personal information.
deCODE may use information about you for
internal research and development. deCODE is interested in
assessing the number of visitors to the different sections of this
Website, what information is of most and least interest, determining
technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or
problem areas. For site security purposes and to ensure that
this service remains available to all users, deCODE uses software
programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts
to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. Information
in the aggregate, such as demographic information, may be made
available to our customers, partners, developers and others through
static or semi-static reports. All information made
available to any third party will be stripped of personal information
and cannot be traced back to individuals.

notified when you are receiving a cookie, giving you the choice to
accept it or not. Not accepting cookies may render some

from your computer to this Website and to protect such information from
loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or
destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet
transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. In
particular, e-mail sent to or from this Website may not be secure, and
you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you
send to this Website via e-mail. Moreover, where you use

Website, it is your responsibility to safeguard them.
deCODE
