For example, our contact form may ask whether you are interested in clinical collaboration, investment, technology partnership, research or other opportunities.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and information about how you interact with the website.

The exact information collected will depend on the analytics, cookies and other technologies actually implemented on our website.

4. How We Use Your Information

We may use personal information to:

Respond to enquiries and requests.
Communicate with potential partners, clinicians, researchers, investors and other stakeholders.
Discuss clinical collaborations, research and technology partnerships.
Manage and improve our website and digital services.
Understand website usage and improve our content and user experience.
Maintain the security and integrity of our website.
Meet applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

We will use personal information only for specified and appropriate purposes and will seek to collect only information that is necessary for those purposes. These approaches reflect the UK GDPR principles of purpose limitation and data minimisation.

5. Lawful Basis for Processing

Where UK data protection law applies, we will process personal information on an appropriate lawful basis.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

Legitimate interests
For example, responding to business enquiries, developing relationships with potential partners and improving our website.

Consent
Where you have provided consent for a specific use of your personal information, such as certain non-essential cookies or communications.

Contract
Where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract.

Legal obligation
Where we need to process information to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement.

The appropriate lawful basis depends on the particular processing activity, and organisations must identify and be able to justify the applicable lawful basis.

6. How We Share Your Information

We may share personal information where reasonably necessary with:

Service providers who support our website, hosting, communications, analytics or IT systems.
Professional advisers where necessary.
Regulators, law enforcement agencies or other authorities where we are legally required to do so.
Business partners or other organisations where this is necessary for a specific collaboration and permitted by applicable law.

We do not sell personal information.

Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that it is processed securely and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

7. International Transfers

Some service providers we use may process personal information outside the UK.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will use appropriate safeguards where required by applicable data protection law.

The specific safeguards used will depend on the destination and the service involved.

8. How Long We Keep Your Information

We will retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or for as long as we are required to retain it by law.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and our relationship with you.

When personal information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or otherwise disposed of in accordance with our applicable retention procedures.

The UK GDPR includes a storage-limitation principle requiring organisations not to keep personal data for longer than necessary.

9. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, understand website usage and improve your experience.

Some cookies may be necessary for the website to operate. Other, non-essential cookies may require your consent before they are used.

Where applicable, you can manage your cookie preferences through our cookie controls.

ICO guidance states that visitors should be informed about cookies and that non-essential cookies generally require user agreement.

10. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful loss, destruction, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or unauthorised access.

However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

The UK GDPR requires appropriate security measures as part of the integrity and confidentiality principle.

11. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights under applicable data protection law, including the right to:

Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
Request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances.
Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances.
Object to certain processing.
Request transfer of your personal information in a machine-readable format where the right applies.

12. Complaints

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator.

Further information is available through the ICO’s website. The ICO recommends that privacy information tells people how they can complain about the handling of their personal information.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including professional networks, research organisations, partners or other resources.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external website you visit.
