If you attempt to bring any legal proceedings against Guardian Diagnostics you specifically acknowledge that Guardian Diagnostics is free to choose the jurisdiction of our preference as to where such action against us may be held. As you have agreed by using this site to choose the laws of the State of New Jersey to govern any such proceedings, we will probably choose to defend any such action in New Jersey and we can make this decision entirely as it suits us, without regard to where in the world you are located, or from where in the world you visited this site.

Importantly, without a clear business relationship, Guardian Diagnostics cannot and does not treat any such submissions in confidence. Accordingly, please do not communicate unauthorized idea submissions to Guardian Diagnostics through this website. Any ideas disclosed to Guardian Diagnostics outside a pre-existing and documented confidential business relationship are not confidential and Guardian Diagnostics may therefore develop, use and freely disclose or publish similar ideas without compensating you or accounting to you. Guardian Diagnostics will make every reasonable effort to return or destroy any unauthorized idea submissions without detailed review of them. However, if a review is necessary in Guardian Diagnostics’ sole discretion, it will be with the understanding that Guardian Diagnostics assumes no obligation to protect the confidentiality of your idea or compensate you for its disclosure or use. By submitting an idea or other detailed submission to Guardian Diagnostics through this website, you agree to be bound by the terms of this stated policy.

Your privacy on Guardian Diagnostics’ Website
The primary purpose of Guardian Diagnostics’ website is to be a communication tool to help you contact us. We want you to feel secure when visiting our site and are committed to maintaining your privacy when doing so. The following provides an overview of how we protect your privacy during your visit.
What information do we gather?
Information on Guardian Diagnostics’ website is gathered in two ways: (1) indirectly (for example, through our site’s technology); and (2) directly (for example, when you provide information on various pages of the site.
One example of information we collect indirectly is through our Internet access logs. When you access Guardian Diagnostics’ website, your Internet address is automatically collected and is placed in our Internet access logs.
We collect information directly from you in a number of ways, some of which we describe in this Privacy Statement. One way is through the use of cookies. Cookies are small files of information which save and retrieve information about your visit on our site—for example, how you entered our site, how you navigated through the site, and what information was of interest to you. The cookies we use identify you merely as a number. (If you are uncomfortable regarding cookies use, please keep in mind you can disable cookies on your computer by changing the settings in preferences or options menu in your browser.)
We also collect information when you voluntarily submit it to us. Throughout our site, we provide the opportunity to email us. When we collect this type of information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for information and how this information will be used. It is completely up to you whether or not you want to provide it.
How do we use this information?
We analyze it to determine what is most effective about our site, to help us identify ways to improve it, and eventually, to determine how we can tailor Guardian Diagnostics’ website to make it more effective. We may also use data for other purposes, which we would describe to you at the point we collect the information.
Will we share this with outside parties?
We will not sell individual information and will share it only with our advisors. But again, before you submit any information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for specific information and it is completely up to you whether or not you want to provide it.
What about sensitive personal data?
We do not generally seek to collect sensitive personal data through this site. If we do seek to collect such data, we will ask you to consent to our proposed uses of the data. We may also collect some sensitive personal data incidentally. By providing us with unsolicited sensitive personal data, you consent to our using the data subject to applicable law as described in this Privacy Statement. The references to “sensitive personal data” are to the various categories of personal data identified by European and other data privacy laws as requiring special treatment, including in some circumstances the need to obtain explicit consent. These categories comprise personal identity numbers, personal data about personality and private life, racial or ethnic origin, nationality, political opinions, membership of political parties or movements, religious, philosophical or other similar beliefs, membership of a trade union or profession or trade association, physical or mental health, genetic code, addictions, sexual life, property matters or criminal record (including information about suspected criminal activities).
Do we give you access to your information?
You are entitled to know whether we hold information about you and, if we do, to have access to that information and require it to be corrected if it is inaccurate. You can do this by sending us an e-mail.
What about data security?
We take appropriate steps to maintain the security of your data on Guardian Diagnostics’ website. You should understand that the open nature of the Internet is such that data may flow over networks without security measures and may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the data is intended.
That’s it in a nutshell. The short of it is—we are interested in maintaining your privacy and creating a valuable resource for you to use. If you have any questions now or during your visit, please contact us.
