5         Data We Collect and processing Purpose

Website Visitors

When you visit the Immunologix website, we gather certain technical details such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the type of device used to access the site. Some parts of the website may require session and/or persistent cookies, which are data files placed on your device by the website operator. You can decline cookies if your browser settings allow, but this may impact website access and performance.

Our website may contain links to other sites that operate independently of Immunologix and are not under our control. These links are provided for your convenience and information only. We are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of these external sites.

Additionally, Immunologix hosts scientific seminars and requires attendees to provide contact information. Data for individuals may be stored and processed for marketing purposes, and we may contact individuals in the future for these purposes. We do not share this information outside of the company.

Clinical and Medical Information

We do not actively collect or process confidential patient information. Clinical sample demographic data is typically received in a pseudonymized form (e.g., identified by an alphanumeric code) without any identifiable information. However, Immunologix Laboratories may inadvertently receive confidential patient data, including private health information protected by the United States Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). If confidential medical information is received in error, our standard operating procedures outline the process for handling such data.

If you are a clinical trial patient, we will process your pseudonymized data for testing and providing laboratory results. These data may be shared with relevant medical authorities for the drug approval process. We never transfer personal medical information.

Customer Data

At Immunologix Laboratories, we prioritize the privacy and security of our customers’ data. We collect personal information, including contact details, to provide and enhance our laboratory services. This information is processed solely to deliver accurate test results, improve our services, and communicate with you. Your information will only be shared with trusted third parties, such as service providers and regulatory authorities, when necessary.

Industry Professional Information

Immunologix collaborates with various individuals from other organizations, including but not limited to CROs, clinical site management, consultants, and contractors engaged by our clients. We collect names, contact information, and other necessary details of these individuals to conduct bioanalysis for clinical studies. When appropriate, additional Confidentiality and/or Master Service Agreements may be established to supplement the requirements of this Privacy Policy.

Job Applicant Data

We gather personal information from job applicants through various channels, such as our company website, employment websites, third-party recruiters, and other sources. This information may include private contact details like address, phone number, email, and professional qualifications. Personal data may also be used in the hiring process, including background checks, and may be stored for future interview processes. Immunologix employs contractors to conduct background checks on applicants, including verification of work history and, where permitted by law, criminal background checks.

6         Data Access Rights to Individuals

Individuals from the EU, UK, and Switzerland and relevant US states have the right to inquire about the processing of their personal information. You may request access to relevant information, ask for corrections, withdraw consent for its use, and request data deletion. To make any such requests, please email privacy@immunologixlabs.com. Immunologix will implement the requested changes within a reasonable timeframe and notify you once the changes are completed. If changes are not possible, Immunologix will inform you and provide a legitimate reason for not complying with the request.

We will provide an individual opt-out choice, or opt-in for sensitive data, before we share your data with third parties other than our agents, or before we use it for a purpose other than which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized.
