Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This website is run by MEDICS, INC., doing business as The Medics Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”). Our headquarters is at 100 Challenger Rd, Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. This policy covers information you give us through this website. If you want to ask us about it, use our contact form and choose “Privacy request”.

2. What we collect

Contact form

Your name, your email address, your country, your calling code and telephone number if you give them, your company if you give it, the reason and subject of your message, and the message itself.

Job applications

Your name, email address, country, telephone number, LinkedIn address if you give it, your cover message, the position you choose, and your CV. A CV often contains more detail, for example your work history, education and address. Please include only what you are comfortable sharing.

Technical information

Our website is hosted by GitHub Pages. Like most web hosts, GitHub may record technical data such as your IP address and browser details when you visit. We do not run analytics, advertising or tracking tools on this website.

Display options

If you change the display options (text size, colors or spacing), your browser stores your choice on your device. We do not receive it.

3. Why we collect it

• To read and answer your messages.
• To review your application and to contact you about our recruitment.
• To keep records that we need for our business and to meet legal duties.
• To keep our website secure and working.

We do not use your information for advertising. We do not use your CV for anything except recruitment.

4. How we handle messages and CVs

When you send a form, the information goes to a form-processing service that delivers it to us. Today we use Formspree for this. Formspree receives your submission, including a CV if you upload one, and passes it to the people at The Medics Inc. who are responsible for the message or for recruitment. We limit access to the people who need it for those purposes.

Please do not send us medical or health information about yourself or anyone else through our forms. Our forms are not designed for protected health information.

5. How long we keep it

• Contact messages: for as long as we need to answer you and to keep reasonable business records, normally no more than 24 months.
• Job applications: for up to 12 months after the end of the recruitment process for that position. If you are hired, we will handle your information as part of your employment records. If you ask us to delete your application earlier, we will do so unless the law requires us to keep it.

6. Who else receives it

We share personal information only with service providers who help us run this website and handle submissions, and where the law requires it. These providers currently include:

• Formspree, which processes form submissions.
• Our email provider, which delivers submissions to us.
• GitHub, which hosts this website.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Links on this website to other sites, such as Longeveron’s website, lead to services with their own privacy practices.

7. Your privacy rights, including California rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• know what personal information we hold about you and receive a copy;
• ask us to correct information that is wrong;
• ask us to delete your information;
• ask us to stop using or disclosing information in ways the law lets you limit;
• not be treated worse for using your rights.

If you live in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act may give you these rights. We do not sell or share personal information as those laws define the terms, and we do not collect sensitive personal information through this website on purpose. To use a right, contact us and choose “Privacy request”. We may ask you to confirm your identity so that we do not give your information to the wrong person. We will answer within the time the law sets. You may also ask someone else to make a request for you, and we may ask for proof that they are allowed to.

8. How we protect your information

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards. Our website uses an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. We give access only to people who need it. No method of sending or storing information is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.

9. Visitors from outside the United States

Our service providers and our offices are in the United States. If you send us information from another country, it will be transferred to and stored in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.

10. Children

This website is for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. We will change the date at the top when we do. If we start to use analytics or other services that collect personal information, we will update this policy first.
