What information is OCO Biomedical gathering about site visitors and how is it being used?
Every computer connected to the Internet is provided with a domain name (e.g. ocobiomedical.com) and an IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.100).

• The operating system platform that you may be running (e.g. Mac OS, Windows, Linux).

To these ends, we may merge information about visitors and visits into group data, which may then be shared on an aggregated basis; however, we will not disclose your individual identity or personally identifiable data without your permission. When we do present aggregated information to outside companies, no one will be able to identify you or contact you.
