Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to all information processed by Capsida, including data that is subject to health regulations or other ethical frameworks governing research (like the Common Rule) that apply to some of the clinical study or clinical trials we manage. If you are a participant in a clinical study or clinical trial, you should receive a separate privacy notice regarding the Personal Data that we process for those purposes. That privacy notice, and not this Privacy Policy, will govern our processing of such data.

As we continually work to improve our Site, we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will alert you of material changes by placing a notice on the Capsida website, by sending you an email and/or by some other means. If you use the Site after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes.
