We use the following automatic data collection technologies:
- Cookies: a cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer. This file contains information that your browser provides to the website each time you return. Cookies are used for record keeping purposes. Cookies, together with log files, provide us with analytical information that we can use to improve website performance and general user experience. We do not link this information to personally identifying information nor do we give this information to outside third parties. This privacy statement regarding the use of cookies is only applicable to the TargetDx Laboratory website.
For example, we use tools and analytics services through social media tracking tags (e.g., LinkedIn, Twitter, Meta Pixel), as well as those provided by analytics providers such as Hotjar and Google.

Hotjar stores this information on our behalf in a pseudonymized user profile. Hotjar is contractually forbidden to sell any of the data collected on our behalf. For further details, please see the ‘about Hotjar’ section of Hotjar’s support site.

Your Privacy Choices
If a company shares California resident “personal information” (as defined in California’s “Shine the Light” law, Cal. Civil Code § 1798.83) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes (e.g., to send offers and information that may be of interest to you), California law requires either providing a mechanism by which consumers can obtain more information about such sharing over the prior calendar year, or providing a mechanism by which consumers can opt out of such sharing. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
Do Not Track
Some browsers have a “do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, we do not respond to browser “do not track” signals.
Retention
We retain information we collect for as long as it is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and in compliance with legal and business retention requirements.

We use appropriate technical, physical, and administrative safeguards designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information, such as to limit abuse of and unauthorized access to personal information. While we use these precautions to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee the security of the networks, systems, servers, devices, and databases we operate or that are operated on our behalf.
