THE BASIS FOR HANDLING YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Alkeus will only collect, process, and use the Personal Data described above where applicable laws allow us to do so. Simply put, we will do so only when we have your consent and/or when we have a legitimate business interest. In some cases, we may also have a legal or regulatory obligation to collect personal information from you, such as if there is a requirement to report an adverse event for our products. Please note that we may process your Personal Data based upon more than one lawful basis and legitimate interest depending upon the specific purpose(s) for which we are using the Personal Data. Alkeus’ primary legitimate interests include the research, development, production, and promotion of next generation pharmaceuticals aimed at transforming the treatment of severe progressive retinal diseases that cause blindness in children and adults.
If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your Personal Data, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “How To Contact Us” section above.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We have put in place technical and organizational security measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, impermissibly altered, disclosed, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way while it is under our control. In addition, we limit access to your Personal Data to those employees, agents, designees, and other third parties who have a business need to do so. Those parties will only process your Personal Data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have implemented reasonable procedures to guard against and address data breaches. In the unlikely event of a breach implicating your Personal Data that requires notification, we will do so and fulfill all our related legal obligations.
COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
As we have stated earlier, we may automatically collect some Personal Data when you visit and engage with our website(s) using Internet server logs, cookies, beacons, and/or other tracking technologies.
Cookies are small files that are automatically stored on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies are used to (a) recognize your device; (b) store your preferences and settings; (c) understand the web pages of the website you have visited; (d) perform searches and analytics; and (e) assist with security functions. Cookies perform many functions, such as allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience.
A web server log is a file where website activity is stored. An IP address is a number assigned to your device whenever you access the Internet that allows devices and servers to recognize and communicate with each other. Alkeus may collect IP addresses to conduct system administration and report aggregate information to affiliates, business partners and/or service providers to conduct website and application analysis and performance reviews.
Beacons are small strings of code that are placed in websites, email messages, and/or online ads. Sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “pixel tags,” beacons are most often used in conjunction with cookies to track activity on websites. Since beacons are typically used in combination with cookies, if you disable cookies the beacons will only detect an anonymous website visit. When used in an email, beacons enable us to know whether you have received or opened the email and may be used for other analytics, personalization, and advertising.
If you do not wish to have cookies on your system, you can set your browser preferences to refuse them or to alert you when cookies are being sent. You are able to change our setting to notify you when a cookie is being placed or to block cookies altogether. For additional information, consult your browser’s “Help” section because controls and settings vary by browser.
If you choose to decline all cookies, you may not be able to fully experience all the features of our website(s). Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to websites with which the browser communicates. Websites linked to this Privacy Statement do not currently respond to these “do-not-track” signals.
HOW LONG WE WILL RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
In some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
ACQUISITION OR SALE OF BUSINESS
We may sell, transfer, or otherwise share some or all of our business or assets, including your Personal Data and/or Consumer Health Data (as defined below), in connection with a business transaction (or potential business transaction) such as a merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy. In such an event, Alkeus will make all reasonable commercial and legal efforts to require the recipient to honor the terms of this Privacy Statement.
EFFECT OF OTHER PRIVACY STATEMENTS OR NOTICES
Alkeus may have additional privacy statements or notices that are directed to and tailored for the different ways your Personal Data is collected. For example, clinical trial participants are provided with separate notices related to their Personal Data as collected for the trials.
If you receive a privacy statement or notice provided to you for a specific purpose, the terms of the more specific statement or notice will control to the extent that other statements or notices may differ from this Privacy Statement.
LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
Alkeus may offer links to other sites that we believe may offer useful information to visitors of our website(s). The inclusion of a link on the Alkeus website(s) does not imply our endorsement of the linked site or service. Alkeus is not responsible for content that exists on third party websites. When you click on one of these links, you will be transferred from the website and be connected to the site of the organization or company that you selected. At such point, this Privacy Statement will not apply to your activity on the non-Alkeus website(s). Each of these linked sites maintains its own independent privacy policies and procedures, which you should consult before providing any of your personal information.
Please note that linked third-party websites may also use cookies or other tracking technologies. We cannot control the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any such third-party websites. For example, when you link from this site to a third-party website, that website may have the ability to recognize that you have come from our site by using cookies. If you have any questions about how third-party websites use cookies, you should contact such third parties directly.
After choosing to move to a third-party website, our Privacy Statement will no longer apply.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Our website(s) and online services are not directed to children under the age of 18 and we do not intend for our website(s) or online services to be used by anyone under the age of 18. In some limited instances, we may collect Personal Data about individuals under the age of 18, but we will do so only with the proper consent of a parent or guardian as may be required by law. We do not otherwise knowingly collect or solicit data about or from children without the express consent of a parent or guardian. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with Personal Data without proper adult consent, he or she should contact us as described in the “How to Contact Us” section above. In such an event, we will take reasonable steps to delete such data.
We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of 13 on our website. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children under the age of 13 on our website, we will take reasonable steps to delete such data.
“Do Not Track”
Some privacy regulations, such as the laws of California and Delaware, require affirmative indication of whether or not Alkeus recognizes a browser’s ‘Do Not Track’ settings concerning targeted advertising. Alkeus adheres to the standards set out in this Statement and does not monitor or respond to Do Not Track browser requests.

When we make material changes to this Supplemental Notice, we will notify you by posting an updated Supplemental Notice on our website and listing the effective date of such updates.
California’s Shine the Light Law (California Civil Code Section 1798.83) permits certain California residents who are individual customers to request certain information regarding its disclosure of “personal information” to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

SUPPLEMENTAL EUROPEAN AREA (“EEA”), UNITED KINGDOM (“UK”) and SWITZERLAND PRIVACY STATEMENT
If you are resident within the European Union (“EU”), European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, please read this section carefully as it will supplement the other provisions of this Privacy Statement.
1. How We Use Your Personal Data
We will use your Personal Data only when the law allows us to do so. Most commonly, we will use your Personal Data in the following circumstances:
- Where you have given us your consent, for a specific purpose.
- Where we need to perform the contract, we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
- Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
- Where necessary for scientific research purposes.
- Where we need to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.
- Where it is needed in order to perform a task in the public interest or to exercise official authority.
Generally, you will have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the contact information listed in the “How to Contact Us” section above.
We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we may use your Personal Data, and which of the corresponding legal bases we rely upon to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.
Note that we may process your Personal Data for more than one lawful basis depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us if you need additional details about the specific legal basis we are relying on to process your Personal Data where more than one basis has been set out above in the section entitled:
- “JURISDICTIONAL SUPPLEMENTS: SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS – How we Use Your Personal Data.”
2. Change of Purpose
We will only use your Personal Data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
We may process your Personal Data without your express knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.
3. Clinical Trials
To the extent that Alkeus may undertake clinical trial studies within the EEA, Switzerland or the UK, we may also use information from clinical trial participants’ medical records and other health data in order to conduct clinical or scientific research to improve healthcare. Alkeus may contract with specialized service providers, such as Contract Research Organizations (“CROs”), clinical trial sites or other service partners, typically as data processors, to collect the Personal Data of the participants of the clinical trial and to manage the clinical trials that we sponsor. We may then process key-coded or pseudonymized Personal Data of clinical trial participants which means that we do not have direct or immediate access to their identifiable Personal Data (except, for example, to comply with legal requirements such as those related to our pharmacovigilance obligations).
We would have a legitimate interest in using information related to your health for research studies when you agree to take part in a research study by providing your informed consent to participate. Our exception to the general provision at Article 9(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), or other analogous provision, not to process special categories of data is that processing is necessary for scientific research purposes in accordance with Article 89 of the GDPR, or other analogous provision. This means that we will use your Personal Data collected in the course of a research study when we act as the data controller for such studies in the ways needed to conduct and analyze the research study. Your rights to access, change or move your Personal Data may be limited, as we need to manage your information in specific ways in order for the research to be reliable and accurate. If you withdraw from the study, we will keep the information about you that we have already obtained. To safeguard your rights, we will use only the minimum Personal Data needed for these purposes.
In addition, the Personal Data of potential and actual site investigators, employees or contractors may also be collected directly by Alkeus or through the CRO that we may work with and is typically used, for example, to verify the individual’s qualifications, satisfy documentation requirements for the purpose of the clinical trial, to verify financial disclosures to avoid any conflict of interest and to otherwise conduct and analyze the research study.
Please see the “How We Use Your Personal Data” section of the “Jurisdictional Supplements: Supplemental Notice to California Residents” above for additional information about the collection and use of Personal Data.
4. International Transfers of Personal Data
Alkeus is based in the United States of America, so the processing of your Personal Data may involve a transfer of data outside the EEA, Switzerland or the UK.
Whenever we transfer your Personal Data out of the EEA, Switzerland or UK, we ensure an adequate and similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- We will only transfer your Personal Data to countries or entities that have been deemed by the applicable supervisory authority to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data;
- We will only transfer your Personal Data to countries or entities pursuant to the terms of binding agreement to and compliance with standard contractual clauses or binding corporate rules, each as approved by the European Commission or other regulators, as applicable;
- We will only transfer your Personal Data to countries or entities pursuant to the consent of the individual to whom the Personal Data pertains; or
- We will only transfer your Personal Data to countries or entities as otherwise authorized by the applicable laws and requirements of the EEA, UK or Switzerland.
5. Your Data Protection Rights

- To access their Personal Data.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data or to exercise any of the other rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to comply with your request if it is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests in a timely fashion and as may be required by applicable law. Occasionally it may take us longer than usual if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
