PhaseBio Privacy Policy

Introduction

PhaseBio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“PhaseBio,” “we,” “our” and “us”) recognizes the importance of information privacy and wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose personal information. This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) applies to personal information we may collect about you or that you may provide when you visit phasebio.com and any other website that we own or control and which posts or links to this Policy (collectively, our “Websites“), or that we may collect by other means, such as by email or in person at a conference, or otherwise in connection with our business operations (collectively, our “Services”). This Policy discusses our general practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information, and the rights and choices available to individuals whose information we maintain.

PhaseBio may provide additional privacy notices to individuals at the time we collect their data. For example, this Policy does not apply to information that clinical trial participants provide to us through participation in a clinical trial that is conducted according to applicable informed consent forms and clinical trial protocols. This type of an “in-time” notice will govern how we may process the information you provide at that time.

Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it.

We provide important information specific to individuals located in the European Union, the European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom (collectively, “Europe”) below. Where we refer to “personal information” or “personally identifiable information” (“PII”) in this Policy, this includes “personal data” as that term is defined in the EU General Data Protection Regulation and implementing legislation (collectively, “GDPR”). The GDPR definition of personal data can be found here.

Third-Party Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Your Information

Our Websites contain links to various third-party websites, such as news stories or press releases or the “Investors” portion of our website. These third-party websites may collect PII and other related information. This Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any third party, including any third party operating any site to which our Websites contain a link. The inclusion of a link on our Websites does not imply endorsement of the linked site by us or any of our affiliates.

Additionally, some content or applications on our Websites may be served by third parties. These third parties may use cookies or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our Website. The information they collect may be associated with your PII or they may collect information, including PII, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services.

Your Choices

We strive to provide you with choices regarding our use and disclosure of PII. Where we are required by applicable law to collect your personal information, or where we need your personal information in order to provide you with our Services, if you do not provide this information when requested (or you later ask to delete it), we may not be able to provide you with our Services and may need to terminate our relationship with you. We will tell you what information you must provide to us by designating it as required when we request the information or through other appropriate means. Individuals who are located within Europe can find additional information about their rights below.

Security

When we collect PII via our Services, information is protected both online and offline. Prevention of unauthorized access or disclosure of data is important to us. Physical, administrative and technical procedures are employed to safeguard all collected information.

Access to PII and other data by our employees is limited, to the extent possible, to those persons or agents of our company that have a specific business purpose for maintaining and processing such information. These individuals are made aware of their responsibilities to protect the security of that information and also uphold the principles of confidentiality and integrity.

Unfortunately, vulnerabilities arise in the realm of technology every day. Although we strive to protect your information, circumstances may compromise that goal. As with any website, please be conscious of your data (including PII) since no security measures are 100% effective.

Any changes to this Policy will become effective when we post the revised Policy on our Websites. The effective date for this Policy is identified at the top of this page.

This may, for example, include ensuring that one of the following safeguards is implemented:

This Cookie Policy explains how PhaseBio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“PhaseBio”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with the phasebio.com website and any other website that we own or control and which posts or links to this Cookie Policy (collectively, the “Sites”).

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies serve different purposes, like helping us understand how a site is being used, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your browsing experience.

Our Sites may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them).

We use two broad categories of cookies: (1) first party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Sites; and (2) third party cookies, which are served by service providers or business partners on our Sites, and can be used by these parties to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites. Third party cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including site analytics, advertising and social media features.

What types of cookies and similar tracking technologies does PhaseBio use on the Sites?

On the Sites, we use cookies and other tracking technologies in the following categories described in the table below.

Type Description Who serves the cookies How to control them
Analytics These cookies help us understand how our Services is performing and being used. These cookies may work with web beacons included in emails we send to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. Google Analytics

 

See ‘your choices’ below.

Google Analytics uses its own cookies. You can find out more information about Google Analytics cookies here and about how Google protects your data here. You can prevent the use of Google Analytics relating to your use of our Sites by downloading and installing a browser plugin available here.

Essential These cookies are necessary to allow the technical operation of our Services (e.g., they enable you to move around on a website and to use its features). Google Tag Manager

WordPress

See ‘your choices’ below.

Other technologies

In addition to cookies, our Sites may use other technologies, such as Flash technology and pixel tags to collect information automatically.

Browser Web Storage

We may use browser web storage (including via HTML5), also known as locally stored objects (“LSOs”), for similar purposes as cookies. Browser web storage enables the storage of a larger amount of data than cookies. Your web browser may provide functionality to clear your browser web storage.

Flash Technology

We may use Flash cookies (which are also known as Flash Local Shared Object (“Flash LSOs”)) on our Sites to collect and store information about your use of our Sites. Unlike other cookies, Flash cookies cannot be removed or rejected via your browser settings. If you do not want Flash LSOs stored on your computer or mobile device, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash LSO storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash LSOs by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions. Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash LSOs may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our Sites.

Web Beacons

We may also use web beacons (which are also known as pixel tags and clear GIFs) on our Sites and in our HTML formatted emails to track the actions of users on our Sites and interactions with our emails. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on webpages or within HTML formatted emails. Pixel tags are used to demonstrate that a webpage was accessed or that certain content was viewed, typically to measure the success of our marketing campaigns or engagement with our emails and to compile statistics about usage of the Sites, so that we can manage our content more effectively.

Your choices

Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. Please note that if you set your browser to disable cookies, the Sites may not work properly.

For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your computer or mobile device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Sites. For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer or mobile device and you may need to log in every time you visit our Sites.

Users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the Network Advertising Initiative by clicking here or the Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking here. Users located in Europe may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking here, selecting the user’s country, and then clicking “Choices” (or similarly-titled link). Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms that we linked above.

If you choose to opt-out of targeted advertisements, you will still see advertisements online but they may not be relevant to you. Even if you do choose to opt out, not all companies that serve online behavioral advertising are included in this list, and so you may still receive some cookies and tailored advertisements from companies that are not listed.

For more information about how we collect, use and share your information, see our Privacy Policy.

Changes

Information about the cookies we use may be updated from time to time, so please check back on a regular basis for any changes.
