Promotional Communications

We may use your personal information to send you updates (by email, text message, telephone or post) about our services, including exclusive offers, promotions or new services.

We have a legitimate interest in processing your personal information for promotional purposes (see above “How and why we use your personal information”). This means we do not usually need your consent to send you promotional communications. However, where consent is needed, we will ask for this consent separately and clearly.

You have the right to opt out of receiving promotional communications at any time by:

contacting us at privacy@curify.us
using the 'unsubscribe' link in emails or 'STOP' number in texts
updating your marketing preferences on our Site

We may ask you to confirm or update your marketing preferences if you instruct us to provide further services in the future, or if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.

Who We Share Your Personal Information With

We routinely share personal information with:

Our affiliates, including companies within the Curify group;
Service providers we use to help deliver our services to you, such as clinical trial coordinators and sponsors;
Third parties we use to help deliver our services to you, e.g., payment service providers, warehouses and delivery companies;
Other third parties we use to help us run our business, e.g., marketing agencies or Site hosts;

We only allow our service providers to handle your personal information if we are satisfied they take appropriate measures to protect your personal information. We also impose contractual obligations on service providers relating to ensure they can only use your personal information to provide services to us and to you. We may also share personal information with external auditors.

We may disclose and exchange information with law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

We may also need to share some personal information with other parties, such as potential buyers of some or all of our business or during a restructuring. Usually, information will be anonymised but this may not always be possible. The recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations.

De-Identified and Aggregate Information.

We may use or disclose de-identified information (see above: “Why We Use Your Personal Information”). De-identified information is derived from the personally identifiable information you give to us. Before this information is used or disclosed, we remove certain identifiable information or alter that information so you can no longer be identified based on that information. In order to match you with clinical trials, we provide your profile to clinical trial providers such as pharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations (CROs), and research universities. Where we provide such information, it is in a de-identified format. Our third-party providers use this information to confirm your suitability to participate in clinical trials.

We may also share aggregate information, which is information that has been stripped of your name and contact information and combined with information of others so that you cannot reasonably be identified as an individual, with third parties for research and/or development purposes. This information is not personal information because it does not identify any particular individual or disclose any particular individual’s data. For example, aggregate information may include a statement that "8% of all AllClinicalTrials.com subscribers have diabetes," without providing any data or testing results specific to any individual user. We will always ask for your consent to share any individual-level information with any third party, other than our service providers as necessary for us to provide the Services to you.

Referrals.

When you provide PII to us, we may manually transfer that data to clinical trial sponsors through the sponsors website or application. We may receive referral fees from some sponsored clinical trials when we successfully match you with a clinical trial based on the information you provide to us. You acknowledge and agree that Curify may manually transfer the data to third party clinical trial sponsors and receive referral fees from such sponsors that you are matched with through your use of our Site.

Where Your Personal Information is Held

Information may be held at our offices and those of our third party agencies, service providers, representatives and agents as described above (see above: “Who we share your personal information with”).

Some of these third parties may be based outside the European Economic Area. For more information, including on how we safeguard your personal information when this occurs, see below: “Transferring your personal information out of the EEA”.

How Long Your Personal Information Will Be Kept

We will keep your personal information while we are providing services to you. Thereafter, we will keep your personal information for as long as is necessary:

To respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf;
To show that we treated you fairly;
To keep records required by law.

We will not retain your personal information for longer than necessary. Different retention periods apply for different types of personal information.

Transferring Your Personal Information Out of the EEA

To deliver services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA), e.g.,:

With our offices outside the EEA;
With your and our service providers located outside the EEA;
If you are based outside the EEA;
Where there is an international dimension to the services we are providing to you.

These transfers are subject to special rules under European and UK data protection law.
