PRIVACY POLICY

Capsida Biotherapeutics and its affiliates (“Capsida”, “we” or “us”) respects the privacy of visitors to its website and is committed to the protection of their personal information. This privacy statement explains data collection and use practices of Capsida’s website.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information:

Capsida also collects non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form to track data such as the total number of visits to our website, the number of visitors to each page of our website and the domain names of our visitors’ internet service providers. We use this information, which remains in aggregate, non-personally identifiable form, to understand how our visitors use our website so that we may improve our website and the services we offer.

Use of IP Addresses:

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a set of numbers that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you log on to your internet service provider or through your organization’s local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN). Web servers automatically identify your computer by the IP address assigned to it during your session online.

Capsida or third-party companies acting on our behalf may collect IP addresses for the purposes of systems administration and to audit the use of our website. We do not ordinarily link a user’s IP address to personally identifiable information of that user, which means each user’s session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us. However, we may use IP addresses to identify users of our website when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with the website’s Terms and Conditions of use, or to protect our service, Website, content or other users.

Cookies:

This website uses a technology called “cookies.” A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies help provide additional functionality to the website or help us analyze usage of the website more accurately. For instance, our server may set a cookie that keeps you from having to enter a password more than once during a visit to the website. In all cases in which cookies are used, we will not collect personally identifiable information without your explicit permission. The only personally identifiable information Capsida collects is the information you voluntarily provide.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored, if you prefer. Please refer to your internet browser’s instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of this website or any other websites that you visit.

We may ask you to indicate your choice to opt out (and in some situations opt-in ) of receiving “cookies”. We may ask you to indicate your choices at the time and on the page where you provide your information.

Do Not Track Mechanisms

California law requires this Privacy Policy to address how we respond to any “Do-Not-Track (‘DNT’) signal” delivered by your browser. Because of the changing state of technology and indecision within the industry regarding the meaning of DNT signals, we currently do not make any guarantee that we will honor DNT signals.

Sharing Personally Identifiable Information with Third Parties

Capsida will not sell or rent personally identifiable information to any third party for any purpose. Sometimes selected third parties are used by Capsida to provide us with support services in connection with our website and such parties may, from time to time, have access to your information to enable them to provide those services to Capsida. Please rest assured that all companies providing such support services are required by Capsida to meet certain standards of data protection and are prohibited from using the information for their own marketing purposes.

Capsida may disclose information to third parties if Capsida reasonably believes disclosure is necessary to adhere to legal requirements or comply with a legal process, to protect or defend Capsida’s property and/or intellectual property rights, to enforce this Privacy Policy, the Terms and Conditions or any contractually binding agreements we have with you, or to protect other users and/or third parties. This may include disclosure of personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to fulfill national or state security or law enforcement requirements. Capsida may also disclose information to a third-party successor if, for example, we transfer the ownership or operation of this Website to another organization or if we merge with or are acquired by another organization or liquidate our assets.
