Log Files

As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.

*This depends on the country where your business is operating. IP addresses are not considered personally identifiable information in the United States, but it is considered personal data in the EU.

Cookies

BRAINYAK, INC sites uses cookies to recognize visitors and more quickly provide personalized content or grant you unimpeded access to the website. With cookies enabled, you will not need to fill in password or contact information.

Information gathered through cookies also helps us measure use of our website. Cookie data allow us to track usage behavior and compile data that we can use to improve the site. This data will be used in aggregate form; no specific users will be tracked.

Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside of the Web site that he or she is visiting. You can easily turn off cookies. Most browsers have a feature that allows the user to refuse cookies or issues a warning when cookies are being sent. However, our site will not function properly without cookies. Enabling cookies ensures a smooth, efficient visit to our website.

We use a third-party tracking service that uses cookies to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our site in the aggregate to capture usage and volume statistics to help us improve our site. We have no access or control over these cookies.

This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by www.GutCheckIt.com only and does not cover the use of cookies by any third party.

BRAINYAK, INC and GutCheckIt.com reserves the right to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics. We do this in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the website.

BRAINYAK, INC and GutCheckIt.com collects IP addresses for system administration and record keeping. Your IP address is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the World Wide Web. Our servers record incoming IP addresses. The IP addresses are analyzed only in aggregate; no connection is made between you and your computer’s IP address. By tracking IP addresses, we can determine which sites refer the most people to GutCheckIt.com. (Think of an IP address like your zip code; it tells us in general terms where you’re from.)

BRAINYAK, INC. and GutCheckIt.com utilizes some of the most advanced technology for Internet security commercially available today. When a user accesses secured areas of our site, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology protects user information using both server authentication and data encryption, ensuring that user data is safe, secure, and available only to authorized persons.

BRAINYAK, INC. and GutCheckIt.com requires users to create a unique user name and password for access to our site. When you enter that information a session “cookie” is created to record encrypted authentication information for the duration of a specific session. Session cookies expire when you close your browser requiring you to re-enter your login information when you return to GutCheckIt.com. You may optionally have GutCheckIt.com remember your authentication information. When you do this GutCheckIt.com stores an encrypted authentication cookie on the computer that you logged in with. This authentication cookie does not include user name or password information. It has a lifetime of one month so if you do not log into GutCheckIt.com for one month you will have to enter your login information again.

In addition, GutCheckIt.com is hosted in a secure data center environment that uses a firewall, intrusion detection systems, and other advanced technology to prevent interference or access from outside intruders. The data center is a highly protected environment with several levels of physical access security and 24-hour surveillance.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is perfectly secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If BRAINYAK, INC. and GutCheckIt.com learns of a security systems breach that affects certain users, then we will attempt to notify those users electronically so that they can take appropriate protective steps. BRAINYAK, INC. and GutCheckIt.com may also post a notice on our website if a security breach occurs.
