Cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies on Our Websites to prevent unauthorized access to or misuse of our systems, prevent cybersecurity incidents, and to keep website visitors on the same server they initially connect to when they navigate to one of our websites (i.e., for load balancing).

Do Not Track

Some web browsers and operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (DNT) setting that you can activate to signal your preference not to have information about your online activities monitored. There is currently no uniform standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. As a result, the Website does not respond to DNT signals. If a standard for recognizing DNT signals is adopted in the future and we follow that standard, we will inform you about our approach in an update to this Privacy Policy.

We use a combination of process, technology, and physical security controls to help protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of storage, is 100% secure.

When we collect your information through the Website, that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the top or bottom of your web browser, or looking for "https" at the beginning of the URL address of the web page. We have internal policies and processes directed towards limiting access to your information to those employees, contractors, and agents of Epic Research and Epic Research's parent corporation, Epic Systems Corporation ("Epic"), who need to know such data to perform their jobs and develop or improve our websites, products, and services.

The Website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Epic Research is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Website and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects your information.
