Arvinas General Privacy Notice

Last Updated: September 11, 2023

Arvinas, Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “Arvinas,” “we,” “us” or “our”) are committed to maintaining your privacy and recognize the importance of providing protection for any personally identifiable information that you choose to share with us or that we maintain about you (“Personal Information”). We have established this Privacy Notice to inform you about how we process your Personal Information for “Arvinas’ Services”, both when you use the websites we operate (the “Websites”) and when we interact with you as a business contact (the “Business Services”).

Please note that in some instances we or our representatives may provide you with a separate privacy notice as legally required, in which case that privacy notice provided to you will control our processing of your Personal Information instead of this Privacy Notice. For example, if you are a subject participating in a clinical trial sponsored by Arvinas, you will generally receive a separate privacy notice at the time you consent to enroll in the trial that will describe Arvinas’ collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information as part of that trial. Also, employees and contractors, candidates, beneficiaries of Arvinas’ benefit plans, and employee emergency contacts will have access to privacy notices specific to them.

Please read this Privacy Notice carefully. Should you have any questions about this Privacy Notice or our data practices, please see our contact information below.

Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us improve our Websites and your experience, see which areas and features of our Websites are popular, and count the number of visits to our Websites. We generally use the following categories of cookies on our Websites:

  • Essential or “Strictly Necessary” Cookies: Arvinas uses first party cookies that are essential for the operation of our Websites and enable its functionality.
  • Functional Cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.
  • Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked. Because DNT is not uniform across browsers, it is possible that website operators, like us, do not recognize or respond to browser initiated DNT signals. Despite this, we do not collect information about your browsing activities over time and across third party websites.

The Site includes content populated by third parties, which may contain its own cookies.

By accessing or using our Websites or otherwise providing Personal Information to us, you understand that your Personal Information will be processed in the U.S. and the countries where our services providers are located, which may have different privacy protections than those where you are located.

We will take steps to verify your identity before processing your request. We will not fulfill your request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the individual about whom we collected Personal Information. We will only use the Personal Information provided in the verification process to verify your identity or authority to make a request and to track and document request responses unless you initially provided the information for another purpose.

You may use an authorized agent to submit a request. When we verify your agent’s request, we may verify your identity and request a signed document from your agent that authorizes your agent to make the request on your behalf. To protect your Personal Information, we reserve the right to deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on their behalf.
