Arvinas General Privacy Notice
This Arvinas General Privacy Notice was last updated on October 3, 2022, at the time of the upgrade of our Website.
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 our website located at www.arvinas.com (the “Website”) 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. If you are a clinical trial subject located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or UK, your rights under the European Union’s (or UK’s) data privacy law(s) known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will be described in the separate notice that you are provided with at the time you provide informed consent to participate in the trial.
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.
