YOU HAVE CERTAIN PRIVACY CHOICES AND MAY HAVE CERTAIN RIGHTS

You can opt-out of certain marketing communications. To stop receiving our marketing emails please email us at the email address noted below or follow the “unsubscribe” instructions in any marketing email you receive from us. If you opt-out of marketing emails you may continue to receive emails from us related to your relationship with us as permitted by law.

You can control cookies and tracking tools. Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies and other tracking tools. Certain browsers can be set to reject browser cookies. We use performance and analytics partners including but not limited to Google Analytics, which employ cookies and similar technologies on the Websites, so that we can compile statistics about site use. To opt-out of Google Analytics, please visit: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The Websites do not respond to Do Not Track browser signals. In addition, as discussed below, depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to opt-out of targeted advertising activities.

If you live in California, Connecticut or New Jersey, or a state with a similar law which applies to Halozyme, you have certain additional legal rights.  These rights may include the following.

  1. Right to Confirm / Access / Know. You may have the right to request access to personal information that we hold about you, including details relating to the ways in which we use and share your information. Residents of California have the right to know the categories of personal information we have collected about them, the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected, the categories of personal information sold, shared, or disclosed, the business or commercial purpose for selling, sharing, or disclosing the personal information, and the categories of third parties to whom we have sold, shared or disclosed their personal information.
  2. Right to Delete. You may have the right to request that we delete personal information we maintain about you.
  3. Right to Correct. You may have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
  4. Right of Portability. You may have the right to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to request that we transfer it to a third party.
  5. Right to Withdraw Consent to Processing of Sensitive Personal Information. You may have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of (or limit the use and disclosure of) your sensitive personal information, unless legal or contractual reasons prevent you from doing so.
  6. Right to Opt-Out. You may have to opt-out of certain uses of your personal information such as for (i) targeted advertising, (ii) “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising, or (iii) profiling or automated decision-making activities that result in a legal or similarly significant effect on you. Please note that if you visit our Websites with the Global Privacy Control opt-out preference signal enabled, if required by law, we will respond to that request in a frictionless manner, meaning we will automatically treat this as a request to opt-out of “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising for the device or browser from which you broadcast the signal. Learn more about the Global Privacy Control here.
  7. Right to Appeal. You may have the right to appeal our decision if we decline to process your request in part or in full. You can do so by replying directly to our denial. If you are not satisfied with our response to your appeal, you may contact your state Attorney General.

How it works. You can exercise these rights by emailing us at privacy@halozyme.com, calling us at 1-844-855-4256, or using another method specified in this Policy. When you submit your request, depending on the type of request, we may seek to verify your identity before honoring your request. We do this by matching the information you provide with information we already have about you. Please note that these rights are not absolute, they may apply only in certain circumstances and, in certain cases, we may decline your request as permitted by law. For example, in Connecticut, these rights apply only to consumer health data. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Third party agents. If you are submitting a request on behalf of an eligible resident, we may ask for additional information to verify your identity. This may include providing proof that you are registered with the Secretary of State to act on someone’s behalf or proof of a power of attorney.

NOTICE AT COLLECTION FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

In addition to offering certain consumer rights (set forth in the section above), California law requires us to make the following additional disclosures to consumers regarding our privacy practices.

In the last twelve (12) months, the personal information Halozyme has collected falls into the following categories of personal information as defined under California law:

  1. Identifiers and personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute, such as name, signature, address, phone number, email address, online identifier, unique identifier, IP address, date of birth, medical information and health insurance information. We collect this category of information directly from you, automatically from your use of the Websites, from our business partners, and from publicly available sources.
  2. Commercial information, such as records of personal property, products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies. We collect this category of information directly from you and from our business partners.
  3. Internet or other similar network activity, such as browsing history, search history, information on a consumer’s interaction with a website, application, or advertisement. We collect this category of information automatically from your use of the Websites.
  4. Geolocation data, such as IP address. We collect this category of information automatically from your use of the Websites.
  5. Sensory data, such as recordings of customer service and pharmacovigilance calls. We collect this category of information automatically.
  6. Professional or employment-related information, such as employment information and contact information of providers.
  7. Inferences drawn from other personal information, such as a profile reflecting a person’s preferences, characteristics, predispositions, behavior, and aptitudes. We create this category of information based on other information we collect about you.
  8. Sensitive personal information, such as health data and username and password. We collect health data directly from you, automatically from your use of the Websites, from our business partners, and from publicly available sources. We collect usernames and passwords from users of our disposal kits. Generally, we do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about individuals, but we may draw conclusions about your health status based on your health information.

To the extent we maintain de-identified personal information, we commit not to attempt to re-identify it, except as permitted by law.

We keep these categories of personal information as long as necessary or relevant for the purposes for which they were collected or for which we have a legitimate business purpose. We determine the retention period for each category of personal information based on (i) the length of time we need to retain the information to achieve the business or commercial purpose for which it was collected, (ii) any legal or regulatory requirements applicable to such information, (iii) internal operational needs, and (iv) any need for the information based on an actual or anticipated investigation or litigation.

Halozyme uses and discloses this personal information as described earlier in this Policy. In the past 12 months, we have disclosed each of the above categories of personal information to our service providers, and we have disclosed the following categories of personal information to third party business partners for purposes of providing our products and services, including facilitating patient assistance programs, and to regulatory bodies for purposes of complying with legal and regulatory obligations: Identifiers and personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute, Commercial information, and Sensitive Personal Information.

Halozyme does not sell personal information, however, as previously discussed, certain of our digital analytics or advertising activities may constitute a “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law. In particular, we may share the following categories of personal information with third party advertising and analytics partners for the purposes of data analytics and cross-context behavioral advertising: Identifiers and personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute, Commercial information, Internet or other similar network activity, Geolocation data, and Inferences drawn from other personal information. California residents have the right to opt-out of this sharing as described above. We do not have actual knowledge that we collect, sell, or share the personal information of California residents under the age of 16.

OUR WEBSITES ARE NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN

Our Websites are meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 16 without parental consent. If you are a parent or legal guardian and think your child under 16 has given us information without your permission, please contact us and we will delete the information.

WE USE REASONABLE SECURITY MEASURES

We use reasonable security measures as required by relevant law that are designed to protect the security of your personal information. You should be aware, however, that no Internet transmission is fully secure. In particular, website and email transmission may not be 100% secure, and you should therefore take care in deciding what information you send to us through these channels.
