This Privacy Policy also describes our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing such information.

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect on the Site and in email or other electronic messages between you and the Site. It does not apply to information collected by us offline or through any other means, including on any other website operated by us or any third party, nor to information collected by any other third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or on the Site.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before you start to use the Site to understand our policies and practices regarding how we treat your information. By accessing or using the Site in any manner, you accept and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE FOR ANY PURPOSE.

This Privacy Policy may change from time to time (see Updates to Our Privacy Policy, below). Your continued use of the Site after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

Security

Nutcracker Therapeutics takes protecting your information seriously, and implements reasonable measures to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Please note, however, that the electronic transmission of information is not completely secure. We cannot guarantee that the security measures we have in place to safeguard information will never be defeated or fail, or that such measures will always be sufficient or effective. Any transmission of information is at your own risk.

Information and Data Transfers

The Site is administered by Nutcracker Therapeutics in the United States. When we obtain information about you through your access to or use of the Site or when you input information to the Site from somewhere other than the United States, we may transfer, process, and store such information in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative, at your sole risk, and you are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws. If you are a non-United States resident and provide us with your personal information, you consent to the transfer to and processing of such information in the United States, which may have data protection laws less stringent than those in the country in which you reside.

Your Choices

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:

Cookies. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

Emails. Nutcracker Therapeutics may send notifications, newsletters, promotional information and other communications to you via email. Promotional email communications and newsletters will contain instructions describing how you can opt out of receiving future promotional emails from us. If you opt out of promotional emails and/or newsletters, you may continue to receive non-promotional emails from us.

Limiting Provided Information. You can choose not to provide us with certain information. If you decline to provide certain information, however, please note that some features of the Site may then be inaccessible.

“Do Not Track” Requests

Some web browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature. This feature lets you tell websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. These features are not yet uniform across browsers. The Site is not currently set up to respond to those signals.

Third Party Applications and Websites

The Site may contain links enabling the electronic transfer of data from third-party applications to the Site, as well as links to third-party websites. Nutcracker Therapeutics is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these applications or websites, and linking to an application or website does not constitute endorsement by us of that application or website. You should review the privacy policy and terms and conditions of any such third-party application or website prior to using or providing information to the same.

Accessing and Correcting Your Information

You may send us an email at info@nutcrackerx.com to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

Your California Privacy Rights

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us by email at info@nutcrackerx.com or write to us at the mailing address set forth at the end of this Policy.

Your European and UK Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of the European Union or the UK, you are entitled to certain information and have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) or the UK GDPR adopted post Brexit (also referred to herein for convenience as simply the “GDPR”). Those rights include:

the right of access to your information.
the right to rectify your information if it is incorrect or incomplete.
the right to have your information erased (“right to be forgotten”) if certain grounds are met.
the right to withdraw your consent to our processing of your information at any time (if our processing is based on consent).
the right to object to our processing of your information (if processing is based on legitimate interests).
the right to object to our processing of your information for direct marketing purposes.
the right to receive your information from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and the right to transmit your information to another controller without hindrance from us (data portability).

If you are located in the European Union or the UK and you are or have been a user of our services, we may send you marketing communications based on our legitimate interests, subject always to your right to opt out of such communications. Further, if you are located in the European Union, we will never share your information with a third party for such third party’s marketing purposes, unless you have specifically consented to us doing so.

You may contact us at info@nutcrackerx.com to exercise any of the above rights. We may request specific information from you to confirm your identity, and in some circumstances, we may charge a reasonable fee for access to your information.

Furthermore, if you believe that our processing of your information is inconsistent with your data protection rights under the GDPR and we have not adequately addressed your concerns, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority of your country.

For purposes of the GDPR, we are a “controller” and you are a “data subject.”
