This policy covers the NeuroSky corporate website and is applicable worldwide.
Collection of your personal information
Your privacy is important to NeuroSky, and we will treat your personal information accordingly. Personal information is any information that can be used to identify an individual, and may include, but is not limited to, name, email address, postal or other physical address, title, occupation, and other information required to provide a service, deliver a product, or carry out a transaction you have requested. Some of the reasons we collect your personal information include:
- participation in discussion groups
- collaboration efforts
- registration to membership programs or newsletter subscriptions
- provide registered users a more personalized and meaningful experience on the NeuroSky website.
Uses of your personal information
Some of the ways we may use your personal information include:
- To provide the ability to create personal profile areas and view protected content.
- To provide the ability to contact you, and provide you with shipping and billing information.
- To provide customer feedback and support.
- To provide contests, sweepstakes or other marketing and promotional activities on the NeuroSky.com or affiliate websites. Personal information may be collected to administer those programs.
- To conduct questionnaires and surveys in order to provide better products and services to our customers and end users. Your completion of any questionnaires is voluntary.
- To understand more about you, so we can personalize newsletters and websites to your preferences. For example, allow you the opportunity to request specific information on products and services that may be of interest.
- To allow you to forward information to another individual such as a friend or co-worker. NeuroSky does not store the personal information of the third party. We collect the information for the sole purpose of sending a one-time email. If you choose to use our referral service to inform a colleague or friend, we will only ask for a contact name and email address.
- To meet contract obligations.
Unsubscribing
Each email newsletter includes instructions on how you can unsubscribe from that particular mailing.
Non-personal information collection
In some instances, NeuroSky may collect non-personal (aggregate or demographic) data through cookies, web logs, and web beacons. This information is used to better understand and improve the usability, performance and effectiveness of the NeuroSky.com website.
Sharing your personal information
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third-parties for marketing purposes unless you have granted us permission to do so.
We may share your personal information within NeuroSky or any of our worldwide subsidiaries for purposes of data processing or storage.
We may also share your personal information with authorized third-party agents or contractors in order to provide a requested service or transaction. For example, if we need to ship something to you, we must share your name and address with a shipping company. We only provide third-party agents with the minimum amount of personal information necessary to complete the requested service or transaction.
We may collect and possibly share personal information and any other additional information available to us in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of NeuroSky's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
While navigating NeuroSky´s web site you may be directed to content or functionality that is hosted by a third party supplier, not on NeuroSky.com. This is typically done to host special events, such as contests. In addition, our websites may provide links to other third-party websites which are outside our control and not covered by this policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies posted on these (and all) sites.
When information is collected on behalf of NeuroSky exclusively, NeuroSky´s privacy policy will be referenced on the site and will govern how your information is used.
Personalization
We may customize websites or newsletters for certain users based on the information they previously provided or that was collected through NeuroSky.com websites in order to enhance the overall web experience.

Some websites will not allow you to complete certain activities if cookies are disabled. If you do not accept cookies, the associated shopping basket will not work and you will not be able to place an order.
We use multiple third parties to monitor web traffic, statistics, advertisement 'click-through', and other activities on NeuroSky's sites. Where authorized by NeuroSky, such third parties may use cookies, NeuroSky's web log files, web beacons, and other monitoring technologies to compile anonymous aggregate statistics on NeuroSky's website visitors.
We also include web beacons in HTML-formatted e-mail newsletters in order to count how many newsletters (or particular articles, links, etc.) are being accessed.
Current versions of web browsers offer enhanced user controls regarding the placement and duration of both first and third party cookies. Search for "cookies" under your web browser's Help menu for more information on cookie management features available to you.
