How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals

Do Not Track (“DNT”) or “Global Privacy Control,” is a preference setting offered by various internet browsers whereby a signal is automatically sent by the browser to each website visited requesting that the user’s activities are not tracked by that website and that the website does not enable onward tracking to other websites. You can usually access your browser’s DNT option in your browser’s preferences. If that occurs, the website visited will not recognize you upon return to that website, save your passwords or usernames, and some other features of a website may become unavailable or not function properly. We have configured our Site with the intent that it honors DNT signals from most browsers. When a user’s browser is set to DNT, we will disable cookies related to marketing and targeting.

Security 

We maintain reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational measures to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification of personal information collected through our Site. However, as no electronic transmission or storage of information can be entirely secure, we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of your personal information.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from children under 13 years of age, and no parts of our Website are directed to children.  If you learn that a child has provided us with personal information in violation of this Privacy Policy, you may alert us at [email protected].

International Transfers of Personal Information

The personal information we collect is stored and/or processed where we or our partners, affiliates, and third-party providers maintain facilities. We may need to transfer your personal information to countries other than the country in which the data was originally collected for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Please be aware that the locations to which we store, process, or transfer your personal information may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. If we transfer your personal information to third parties in other countries: (i) we will perform those transfers in accordance with the requirements of applicable law; and (ii) we consider a variety of requirements that may apply to such transfers, but in any event we will only transfer your data to a destination and in a manner that ensures your personal information will remain protected to the same or equivalent level as in the country of origin. This may include executing standard contracts that have been provided by the relevant regulatory authorities and which commit the recipient to collect and use personal information in accordance with applicable law in the country of origin.

Data Retention

We store personal information as needed to accomplish the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy and to meet legal requirements, including to comply with law, and for record retention, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. We will not retain personal information or sensitive personal information for longer than is reasonably necessary for the purposes disclosed above. Our retention of your personal information is governed by applicable law. This storage period may extend beyond the term of your relationship with us. 

When we no longer need personal information, or in any event, after legal authority to retain it has expired, we will destroy personal information in accordance with local law and pursuant to our relevant procedures.

Rights to Access and Control Your Personal Information

You are provided certain rights over your personal information that enable you to access and control the use of any personal information about you that we collect and use. 

We reserve the right to verify the identity of the individual and to verify the authority of any designated representative (“authorized agent”), in connection with any requests regarding personal information, to help ensure that we provide the information to individuals to whom the information pertains and allow only those individuals or their authorized representatives to exercise rights with respect to that information. 

If we receive personal information about you from a third party, we will protect it as set out in this Privacy Policy. 

Your rights to access and control your personal information include the following: 

  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to continue to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
  • Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that it is complete and accurate and that we are lawfully collecting, using and disclosing (together “processing”) it. This access request will include a list of the types of personal data we have collected and to which third parties we have Sold or Shared your personal data over at least the last 12 months.
  • Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. In certain cases we may not be able to comply fully or at all with your correction request, and if so, we will notify you of the reasons for this.
  • Object to processing (also known as the right to opt-out) of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to processing. In certain cases we may not be able to comply fully or at all with your request on reasonable grounds provided the processing does not negatively impact your privacy rights, and if so, we will notify you of the reasons for this. 
  • You also have the right to object where we use your personal information for direct marketing purposes. This includes your right to request that your Personal Information not be Sold to or Shared with third parties for their own proprietary purposes including for cross-context behavioral advertising, which is the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on that consumer’s personal information from a number of sources. If you wish to modify your preferences in respect to updates or notifications, or the mailing lists you subscribe to, you can modify your preferences on our Site. All commercial and marketing communications (e.g. notification emails and newsletters) include instructions for opting-out of those communications in the future.
  • Request erasure of your personal information. You can request we delete personal information where you do not believe there is reason for us continuing to process it, or where you believe we collected or are using it unlawfully, where erasure is required by law or where you have opted-out of our processing. In certain cases we may not be able to comply fully or at all with your erasure request for legal reasons, and to the extent we are permitted to, we will notify you of the reasons for this.
  • Request restriction of processing of your personal information. You can request we suspend or limit processing of your personal information only to that which is legally necessary or is strictly necessary to continue orderly business operations. Restricted processing may occur where we are verifying whether we are able to comply with your correction, opt-out or erasure request or where you believe it is in your interests not to erase the personal information.
  • Request the transfer (also known as the right of portability) of your personal information to you or to a third party you have chosen. To the extent it is technically feasible we can provide your personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided to us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

We will acknowledge your request within 5 days and will complete our response to your request within 30 days unless we agree to a different response period with you or a different response period is permitted or required under applicable law.

If you would like an authorized agent to exercise these rights on your behalf, you (or the authorized agent) must provide a written request including your full name and all contact details (e.g. email address, mailing address) that we have in our records and with which we can authenticate you, as well as (if applicable) the relationship or services obtained from Arcellx. The written request must include the full name and preferred contact details of the authorized agent. We may deny a request from an agent who cannot meet these requirements.

When submitting a request, please describe your relationship with us and your request in sufficient detail to allow us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request, which may require us to request additional personal information from you.

We will never discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising any of these rights. However, please note that if the exercise of your rights limits our ability to process personal information, we may not be able to provide our products to individuals who exercise these rights, or to otherwise engage with such individuals going forward.
