TERMS AND CONDITIONS

TERMS AND CONDIT

Effective as of June 20, 2019

 

Welcome to MYCBD! Thank you for using our Services. These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) set forth our mutual agreement as to your rights and responsibilities when you use the Ancestry websites, services, and mobile apps that link to these Terms (the “Services"). By using any of the Services you are agreeing to these Terms. You are also agreeing to comply with our MYCBD Community Rules, which are incorporated herein by reference. Please read these documents carefully – they contain important information about your rights and your responsibilities when you use the Services.

Your privacy is very important to us. Our Privacy Statement sets forth important information on how we collect, process, use and share your data and is incorporated by reference herein. Please read the Privacy Statement carefully. In particular, you should be aware that we do not share your Genetic Information (as defined in the Privacy Statement) with employers, insurance providers, or third-party marketers without your consent, and will not share your Genetic Information with law enforcement unless compelled by valid legal process as described in our Privacy Statement. Any sharing of Genetic Information for scientific research is governed by our Informed Consent to Research, which only applies if you expressly agree to participate.

 

Important Things for You to Understand When You Use Our Services

  • You always maintain ownership of your data, but we need the ability to use your data for the purposes set out in our Privacy Statement and these Terms, and, if you agree to it, in our Informed Consent to Research.

  • You may discover unanticipated facts about yourself or your family when using our Services that you may not have the ability to change (e.g. you may discover an unknown genetic sibling or parent, surprising facts about your ethnicity, or unexpected information in public records).

  • As we are constantly striving to improve the Services we provide you, your data may be used to enhance our existing user experience or to develop new products and services. Unless expressly stated otherwise, each new feature that we add to the Services will also be subject to these Terms.

  • You may at any time request that we delete your data and account, as described in our Privacy Statement.

 

Our Services are very diverse, so sometimes additional or separate terms may apply. Any additional terms will be specified with the relevant Services, and those additional terms become a part of your agreement with us if you use those Services. Separate terms may also apply to special offers or promotions, and if the rules of a promotion or special offer conflict with these Terms, those special terms will prevail. We are constantly changing and improving our Services, and thus we may add or remove functionality or features from the Services and we may suspend or stop a Service altogether. If you have any questions about these Terms or our Services, please contact us.

Types of information we collect

We collect personal information from you when you register and use the site, such as your name, credit card, email and web behavior information (such as your IP address). Through the saliva sample and the survey responses you provide to us, we collect genetic information.

 

How we store your information

Your personal and registration information is stored separately from any genetic information to reduce the likelihood that you could be identified. Your personal information is assigned a randomized customer identification number for identification and customer support services. Your genetic information is only identified using a barcode system.

 

How we keep your research details private

If you provide responses to our online surveys and opt into our research program, your genetic information is stripped of personally identifying information and transferred into our research environment where it is stored with your survey response data and is assigned a randomized research identification number.

 

Third Party Sharing

We will not sell, lease or rent your individual-levelinformation to any third party or to a third party for research purposes without your explicit consent. However, we do use and share aggregate information with third parties in order to perform business development, initiate research, send you marketing emails and improve our services.

Aggregate information has been stripped of your personal details (e.g., your name and contact information) and aggregated with the information of others so that you cannot reasonably be identified as an individual.
