Privacy Policy

Last Updated on: 05/12/2025

Select Section

Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) aims to provide our website (the Site) users with a useful experience that respects and protects their privacy choices and concerns. This Privacy Policy document describes how and why we may collect information from or about you, and how we may use or disclose this information. Please review the Privacy Policy regularly as it may change at any time.

Information We Collect

1. IP Address

For all visitors to the Site, we collect and log your IP address (a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the internet). Collecting IP address information allows us to optimize our system and to collect information about how web users interact with the Site.

2. Cookies

We occasionally place cookies in the browser file of your computer’s hard drive. These cookies identify your browser to our server when you interact with the Site. We may use cookies to temporarily store application data. Most internet browsers automatically accept cookies, but allow you to block the acceptance of cookies. If you block cookies, some features or functions of the Site may not be usable, or the Site may not operate optimally.

3. Aggregate Information

The aggregate information we collect does not personally identify you, but does help us assess Site usage information, such as general traffic, time spent on site, web pages visited, and other information we use for statistical purposes and optimizing content and functionality on the Site.

4. Online Transactions

Some areas of the Site allow you to make online donations or other transactions. While these transaction pages have the same look and feel as the Site, they are actually operated by a secure third-party platform. When you make an online donation or other transaction, your information is handled by the third party. ISB is then provided with some of that information – name, email address, transaction details. Your payment information (credit card numbers, etc.) is not shared.

5. Children’s Policy

The Site is intended for adults 18 years of age and older, and is not intended for people under the age of 18. Those under 18 years of age should not register or provide personally identifiable information through the Site. ISB does not collect personally identifiable information through the Site from anyone ISB knows to be under 18 years of age

6. Other Sites

The Site contains links to other websites. Our Privacy Policy applies only to the Site and those included in the Site’s multi-site network. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites outside of our own, nor for the content contained on those sites. You should read the privacy policies of the sites you visit to understand what information they collect and how they use it.

7. Newsletters

If you sign up for ISB newsletters, ISB maintains your name and email address to distribute these communications with you. This personally identifiable information is not used for any purposes other than that listed above, and will not be disclosed, unless necessary to comply with a court order or other legal process, or to protect the rights or property interests of ISB. If you would like to be removed from email lists, you can click the “unsubscribe” button at the end of newsletters.

8. Updates and Changes to Privacy Policy

At any time, ISB reserves the right to add, change, update or modify this Privacy Policy. Any change, update or modification will be effective immediately upon posting.

9. Questions and Comments
