5. Choices: Tracking and Communications Options
Tracking Technologies Generally. Regular cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options, so you may need to set them separately. See our COOKIES NOTICE for more information. Please be aware that if you disable or remove these technologies, some parts of the Online Services may not work and that when you revisit the Online Services your ability to limit browser-based Tracking Technologies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.
Some App-related Tracking Technologies in connection with non-browser usage (e.g., most functionality of a mobile app) can only be disabled by uninstalling the app. To uninstall an app, follow the instructions from your operating system or handset manufacturer. Apple and Google mobile device settings have settings to limit ad tracking, and other tracking, but these may not be completely effective.
Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many online services, Aviagen currently does not alter Aviagen’s practices when Aviagen receives a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. However, we do look for and honor Global Privacy Controls for California IP addresses as explained HERE. In addition, you can control non-essential cookies visiting our cookies Consent Management Tool, via the icon located at the bottom of our webpages and following the instructions. For additional information about how we use cookies, please see our COOKIES NOTICE.
Communications. You can opt out of receiving certain promotional emails from Aviagen at any time by following the instructions provided in emails to click on the unsubscribe link. Please note that your opt-out is limited to the e-mail address used and will not affect subsequent subscriptions. If you opt-out of only certain communications, other subscription communications may continue. Even if you opt out of receiving promotional emails, Aviagen may, subject to applicable law, continue to send you non-promotional emails, such as those about your account, transactions, servicing, or Aviagen’s ongoing business relations with you.

7. Data Security
Aviagen takes reasonable measures to protect Online Services PD from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Nevertheless, transmission via the Internet and online digital storage are not completely secure and Aviagen does not guarantee the security of your information collected through the Online Services. Subject to applicable law, we reserve the right, but do not have an obligation, to monitor your and others’ use of our Online Services, and to take appropriate actions including reporting to law enforcement and taking legal action.
