Scope of this Privacy Policy

The Site is intended for individuals engaging with us in a commercial or professional context, and not for consumer use. This Privacy Policy does not cover our handling of personal information of clinical research participants or our employees or job candidates, which is governed by separate rules, laws and privacy notices that we give to the relevant individuals.

Personal information we collect

The personal information we collect from you, either directly or indirectly, will depend on how you interact with us and with our Service. In general, we collect personal information about you from the following sources:

Information you provide to us. Personal information you may provide to us through the Service includes:

• Contact data. Your full name, professional title, organization name, organization mailing address, email address, phone number, and other contact details.
• Communications data. Information in your communications with us, including when you communicate with us through the Service, email, social media, events, or otherwise.

If we collect personal information not specifically listed above, we will use it consistent with this Privacy Policy or as otherwise explained at the time of collection.

Automatic collection. As you navigate the Service, our communications, and other online services, we and our service providers may automatically collect identifiable information about you, your computer or device, and your browsing actions and use patterns, such as:

• Device data. Technical information about your computer or mobile device’s operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, RAM and disk size, CPU usage, device type (e.g., phone, tablet), unique device identification numbers or other identifiers, language settings, mobile device carrier, radio/network information (e.g., Wi-Fi, LTE, 3G), IP address, and general location information associated with IP address, such as city, state, or geographic area.
• Usage data. Page views, search terms, what videos and other content you view, how long you spent on a page, the website you visited before browsing to the Service, navigation paths between pages, information about your activity on a page, access times and duration of access, whether you have opened our emails or clicked links within them, and other functional information on Service performance (like diagnostics and crash logs).

Third party sources. We combine personal information we receive from you or collect automatically when you use the Service with personal information we obtain from other sources, such as:

• Our business contacts. Our professional contacts share with us contact details about individuals in their networks, including prospective customers, vendors, and partners.
• Public sources. Such as social media platforms and commercial or institutional websites.

How we use your personal information

We use your personal information for the following purposes or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy or at the time of collection:

• Research and development. We use your personal information for research and development purposes, including to analyze and improve the Service and our business in an informed way. As part of these activities, we may create aggregated, de-identified and/or anonymized data from personal information we collect. We make personal information into de-identified or anonymized data by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We may use this aggregated, de-identified or otherwise anonymized data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes, including to analyze, improve and promote the Service and our business.

Security

We use various technical and organizational measures designed to protect the personal information we process. However, security risk is inherent in all internet and information technologies, and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

International data transfers

We are headquartered in the United States and we and our service providers may process personal information from the United States and other countries. These countries may have data protection laws that are not as protective as those where you live.

Children

The Service is not intended for use by anyone under 16 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian of a child from whom you believe we have collected personal information in a manner prohibited by law, please contact us. If we learn that we have collected personal information through the Service from a child without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian as required by law, we will comply with applicable legal requirements to delete the information.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by updating the date of this Privacy Policy and posting it on the Service or other appropriate means. Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting the modified version (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting).

Notice to European users

The information provided in this notice applies only to individuals in the United Kingdom (“UK”), the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and Switzerland (we collectively refer to these countries as “Europe”).

The personal information that we collect from you is identified and described in greater detail in the section of the Privacy Policy entitled Personal information we collect.

Controller. Science is the controller of your personal information described in this Privacy Policy. See the Contact us section above for contact details.

Legal bases for processing. European data protection law requires that we have a “legal basis” for each purpose for which we process your personal information. Depending on the purpose for collecting your information, we may rely on one of the following legal bases:

• The processing is necessary to perform a contract that we are about to enter into, or have entered into, with you (“Contractual Necessity”).
• The processing is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests or those of a third party and we are confident that your privacy rights will be appropriately protected (“Legitimate Interests”).
• We need to comply with laws or to fulfill certain legal obligations (“Compliance with Law”).
• We have your specific consent to carry out the processing for the purpose in question (“Consent”). Generally, we do not rely on Consent as a legal basis for using your personal information other than in the context of direct marketing communications where required by applicable law.

The table below identifies the legal bases we rely on in respect of the relevant purposes for which we use your personal information. For more information on these purposes and the categories of personal information involved, see the section in the Privacy Policy entitled How we use your personal information.

Retention. We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it. This includes satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, establishing or defending legal claims, or for the compliance and protection purposes described above. Factors determining the appropriate retention period include the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the information, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

When we no longer require the personal information we have collected about you, we will either delete or anonymize it, or if this is not possible (e.g., because it has been stored in backup archives), then we will isolate it from any further processing with security safeguards, until deletion is possible.

Use for new purposes. We may use your personal information for reasons not described in this Privacy Policy where permitted by law and the reason is compatible with the purpose for which we collected it. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the applicable legal basis.

Sensitive personal information. We do not require sensitive personal information in connection with the Service (e.g., information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background, or trade union membership) and ask that you do not provide us with any such information.

Your rights. European data protection laws give individuals in Europe the following rights regarding their personal information:

• Right of access. You can ask us to provide you with information about our processing of your personal information and give you access to your personal information.
• Right to rectification. If the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you are entitled to request to have it rectified.
• Right to erasure. You can ask us to delete or remove your personal information where there is no lawful reason for us continuing to store or process it, where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal information to comply with local law.
• Right to restrict processing. You can ask us to suspend the processing of your personal information: if you want us to establish the information’s accuracy; where our use of the information is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; where you need us to hold the information even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; if you have objected to our use of your information but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
• Right to object. You can object to our processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and you believe it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
• Right to data portability. You have the right, in certain circumstances, to ask us to provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Right to withdraw consent at any time. Where we are relying on consent to process your personal information you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.

Exercising those rights. Some of these rights may be limited where we have an overriding interest or legal obligation to continue to process the personal information or where certain exemptions apply. If we decline your request, we will tell you why, subject to legal restrictions.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request.

Your right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. If you are not satisfied with our response to a request you make, or how we process your personal information, you can make a complaint to the data protection regulator in your habitual place of residence.

International data transfers. We may transfer your personal information to recipients in a country outside of Europe that is not recognized as providing an adequate level of protection for personal information by the relevant government body. In these cases, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure your personal information remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws by entering into appropriate data transfer mechanism permitted under Article 46 of the GDPR / UK GDPR (as applicable), such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum (as applicable).
