How We Use Personal Data

We may use Personal Data for the following purposes.

Our legitimate interests

We may process your Personal Data where it is necessary for our legitimate interest as a company, including to manage, promote and improve our business and manage our risk. For example, we may process your Personal Data to:

provide you with information you requested and/or to respond to your inquiries submitted via the website, email and/or phone,

facilitate our recruitment activities (such as processing employment applications, evaluating you as a job candidate for an employment activity, and monitoring our recruitment statistics),

analyze and enhance our communications and strategies (including by identifying when emails sent to you have been received and read),

tailor the content we display on our website,

protect against, identify, investigate and respond to fraud, illegal activity (such as incidents of hacking or misuse of our website) and claims and other liabilities,

help us comply with our legal or regulatory obligations or our contractual obligations to the U.S. government as a government contractor,

maintain the privacy, security, safety or property of the website, and

communicate with you for other purposes which are evident from the circumstances or about which we inform you when we collect Personal Data from you.

Legal obligation

We may be required by law or regulation to collect and process certain Personal Data about you. For example, we may be required to process certain personal data in relation to reporting of adverse events.

Public interest

We may also process Personal Data in order to carry out scientific research in the public interest.

Your consent

We may also seek, either directly or through our trusted third parties, your separate consent to process your Personal Data, for example, when you choose to receive Amino Medical Science news and updates from us, or for the use of non-essential cookies.

If we have sought your consent to process your Personal Data, you may subsequently withdraw it at any time by contacting us at the address listed in the “Your Privacy Rights” section below.

[Health data

Where we process data concerning health, including for the purposes of handling reports of adverse events, we also ensure that we have an additional lawful basis as required by the GDPR. This will usually be because we need to do so for reasons of public interest in the area of public health or for scientific research.]

Sharing of Personal data

We will not sell, share, or otherwise distribute your Personal Data to third parties except as provided in this Privacy Policy.

Affiliates and Service Providers. We may disclose your Personal Data to other Amino Medical Science affiliates worldwide that agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may also transfer Personal Data to service providers who act for or on our behalf for further processing, such as evaluating the usefulness of this website, data management, technical support or recruiting data analysis. These service providers have contracted with us to only use the Personal Data for the purpose(s) for which the data were originally collected or may otherwise be lawfully processed, not to sell your Personal Data to other third parties, and not to disclose it to other third parties except as may be required by law, as permitted by us or as stated in this Privacy Policy.

Other Parties in Connection with a Corporate Transaction. We may also transfer Personal data we collected from you to a third party as part of a corporate business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, reorganization, joint venture, financing or sale of our assets.

Other Parties when Required by Applicable Law or As Necessary to Protect Amino Medical Science. We may disclose Personal Data to a third party to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, or to protect against fraud, illegal activity (such as responding to incidents of hacking or misuse of our website) and claims and other liabilities.

International Data Transfers

When we share Personal Data with a third party, such data transfers may include the transfer of Personal Data to other countries. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which the Personal Data initially originated.

EEA and UK Persons Only

Amino Medical Science, in the US, will act as a data controller and will process your Personal Data, by determining purposes and means of its processing, as per the GDPR. Please be aware that your Personal Data will reside on Aquia’s servers including inside and outside of the European Union. We provide specific call centers for EEA and UK persons so that your call can be handled in the EEA or UK. Before transferring your Personal Data outside the EEA or UK, we will take steps to ensure that such data will be afforded the same level of protection as under applicable data protection laws within the EEA and UK. For data transfers outside the EEA or UK, we use, where required, applicable safeguards, including standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. A copy of these measures can be obtained by contacting us at the email address listed below.

Your Privacy Rights

You may have certain rights as a data subject under applicable law. For example, you may have the right to object to or request restriction of processing of your Personal Data and to request access to, rectification, erasure and portability of the Personal Data we hold about you, subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law.
