Our Site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”).

Google Analytics data is transmitted to and stored on Google’s servers, which may be located in the United States or other countries. Google uses this data to evaluate your use of the Site, compile reports on site activity, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. We have implemented IP anonymization where technically available to limit the precision of IP data processed by Google Analytics.
5.4 Your Cookie Choices and Opt-Out Rights
You have several options for controlling or limiting how cookies and similar technologies are used:

- Global Privacy Control (GPC): We are evaluating support for Global Privacy Control browser signals and will update this Policy as our implementation evolves.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting obligations. When determining the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, and the purposes for which we process the data.
When personal information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it. Anonymized, aggregated data that cannot be used to identify you may be retained indefinitely for statistical and business analysis purposes.
You may request deletion of your personal information at any time as described in Section 8 (Your Privacy Rights).
7. Data Security
We implement reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encryption of data in transit using TLS/SSL protocols
- Access controls limiting who can access personal information to those with a legitimate business need
- Regular review and assessment of our security practices
- Vendor contracts requiring third-party service providers to maintain appropriate security measures
Despite these measures, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately at info@prokidney.com.
