Starlims Corporation – Master Privacy Notice
Starlims Corporation, based in the United States, is the parent organization of several subsidiaries worldwide. This privacy policy will use the name Starlims to refer to the parent company and all subsidiaries, and will explain how we use the personal data we collect from you.
Starlims and its subsidiaries closely safeguard the privacy and security of all personal information we process. We endeavor ceaselessly to comply with all privacy-related laws and regulations in every jurisdiction in which we operate.
If we process personal information about you, it is for one of three reasons:
- One of our clients has engaged us to process laboratory information it has collected with consent of the data subjects, and your information is part of that laboratory information.
- You are an employee of one of our clients, and we may need your name, job title, work email address, work phone number, and information related to the device(s) you use on behalf of your employer.
- You are an employee of a potential client, and we would like to outreach to you in furtherance of opportunities for us to be of service to your employer.
Because we operate in numerous jurisdictions, and because we process various types of personal information for various reasons, we must comply with an array of privacy laws. For these reasons, your rights may be different from those of other persons who data we collect.
For example, in the United States, we may process laboratory information in our role as a business associate of a covered entity under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, and its modifying statutes and enabling regulations (“HIPAA”). When our client is not a HIPAA-covered entity, various state-specific privacy laws may apply, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended (“CCPA”).
