At Notch Therapeutics (“Notch”, “we”, “us,” or “our”), we are committed to ensuring the privacy of our users. This privacy policy explains Notch’s privacy practices related to Notch’s web site, currently located at notchtx.com, and other online services owned or controlled by Notch (collectively, the “Notch Online Services”). By using the Notch Online Services, you consent to this Privacy Policy.
What is Personal Information?
Personal information is information that specifically identifies or could be used to identify an individual, such as an address, telephone number, e-mail address, and information about that individual’s activities when directly linked to that person. Personal information also includes demographic information such as date of birth, gender, geographic area, and preferences when such information is linked to other personal information that identifies or is capable of identifying you.
Personal Information We Collect
You may provide personal information to us when you interact with or provide information to Notch. For example, depending on the specific Notch Online Services, you may provide us with personal information when you:
Your use of the Notch Online Services and submission of information indicates your consent to these uses of personal information described below.
When you visit the Notch Online Services, some information is also automatically collected, such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, your computer’s operating system, the browser type, the address of a referring web site, and the time and date of your visit and pages visited. This information is collected through the use of “cookies.” Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer or mobile device by a web site to give you a unique identification. We use cookies on the Notch Online Services to help optimize your online experience. If this information relates to you as an identifiable individual, we treat this information as personal information. Otherwise, it is used in the aggregate only.
Notch does not require that you accept cookies; however, some functionality on the Notch Online Services may be disabled if you decline to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it.
How We Use Personal Information
We use personal information for internal purposes only. In general, we may use personal information to process your requests and provide you with high-quality services. We may also use personal information for certain auditing, research, and analysis to operate and improve Notch technologies and services. When we use your personal information, it may be processed in the United States of America and/or other countries, so your information may be processed outside your own country.
Use of Aggregate Information
Personal information does not include “aggregate” information. Aggregate information is data we collect about a group or category of services or users from which individual identities have been removed. In other words, information about how you use a service may be collected and combined with information about how others use the same service, but no personal information will be included in the resulting data. Aggregate data helps us understand trends and customer needs so that we can better consider new services and tailor existing services to customer desires. We may share aggregated non-personal information with third parties outside of Notch.
Sharing of Personal Information
We share personal information with third-party vendors and contractors who assist us in performing internal functions necessary to operate our business. We require our third-party vendors to only use the information for the purpose it was provided. We are not responsible for any additional information you provide directly to third parties, and we encourage you to become familiar with their practices before disclosing information directly to them. We also reserve the right to disclose personal information when we believe it is required or appropriate to comply with the law or legal process (e.g., a lawful subpoena, warrant, or court order); to enforce or apply this privacy policy or our other policies or agreements; to initiate, render, bill, and collect for amounts owed to us; to protect our or our users’ rights, property, or safety; to prevent or protect our users from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of the Notch Online Services; to ensure the security of our network and services; or if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications or justifies disclosure of records without delay.
In addition, information about our users, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of company assets, as well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which personal information could be transferred to third parties as one of the business assets of the company.
Links to Other Web Sites
The Notch Online Services may contain links to other web sites. Any personal information you provide on the linked pages is provided directly to that third party and is subject to that third party’s privacy policy. Except as described above, we are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of web sites to which we link. Links from the Notch Online Services to third parties or to other web sites are provided for your convenience only. We encourage you to learn about their privacy and security practices and policies before providing them with personal information.
Use of the Notch Therapeutics Online Services by Children
You must be 18 years old or older to use the Notch Online Services. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete such information from our records.
Security
Personal information is maintained at our offices or on our servers (or those of our service providers) and is accessible by authorized employees, representatives, and service providers who require access for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We have put into place reasonable security measures in an effort to protect personal information while it is under our control. However, please note that the security of personal information cannot be guaranteed.

You may request access to or correction of your personal information in our control, or withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal information, by writing to us as described below. These rights are subject to contractual and legal restrictions. We may take steps to verify your identity before providing access or making corrections or honoring your consent withdrawal request.
