Cookies

This Site uses a tracking technology called a “cookie.” A cookie is a small text data file that a web site can place on your computer’s hard drive, where your internet browser files are kept. Cookies enable us to recognise when a computer being used to browse our web site has previously visited gammaCore or its other owned web sites. Cookies can also be used to enable a site to ‘remember’ the information a visitor has previously inputted, should that visitor so choose. Cookies may be placed on your computer both by us and by third parties with whom we have a relationship, such as web analytic services, pixel tags, browser analysis tools, server logs and web beacons. Most internet browsers allow you to change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it, or to automatically accept or refuse all cookies.

A cookie’s life span may vary depending on what the individual providers have set for them. Some cookies disappear as soon as you close your browser window, where others may exist for several years. The third parties electroCore partners with typically use a 12-or 24-month life span on web analytics and advertisement-related cookies. The life span is reset after each visit to the Site.

You can block cookies from being placed on your computer. If you block cookies, it can result in parts of the Site not functioning or appearing properly. Additionally, you can delete previously stored cookies. The method deleting those previously stored depends on the browser and the device being used to visit the website.

Where we store your information

The data that we collect from you is stored within the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

Where your information is transferred outside the EEA, we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is subject to appropriate safeguards, such as relying on a recognised legal adequacy mechanism or your consent, and that it is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. Specifically, website servers for US data are located in Virginia, USA and web servers for European data are located in Frankfurt, Germany. Personal

information is not routinely transferred outside of the EEA or Switzerland except where necessary to respond to product complaints or inquiries. In such instances, we will take appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this privacy notice. These include implementing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

Child safety

Protecting the safety of children when they use the Internet is important to us. The Site and products available are intended for use only by persons who are at least 18 years of age. By using our Site you confirm to us that you meet this requirement.

Payment processing

Payments made on the Site are made through our payment gateway provider. You will be providing credit or debit card information directly to our payment gateway provider which operates a secure server to process payment details, encrypting your credit/debit card information and authorising payment. Information which you supply to our payment gateway provider is not within our control and is subject to our payment gateway provider’s own privacy policy and terms and conditions.

How we protect your information

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers and is encrypted between your device and any external host storage to keep it safe. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of the Sites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Sites and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

The Sites may, from time to time, contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of such sites.

Automated decision making

We do not carry out any automated decision making using your personal data that would have a legal or similarly significant effect on you.

How long we keep your information

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
