Annex I Rights for the residents in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland

If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland (“CH”), or the United Kingdom (“UK”), your personal data may be protected by data protection laws in the EEA, CH, or UK, such as the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GIVAX will comply with these data protection laws when it uses and shares your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy.

When using or sharing personal data as described in this Privacy Policy (including transfers out of the EEA, CH, and UK described below), GIVAX relies on the following lawful bases, as appropriate:

  • GIVAX’s legitimate interests

  • You provided your consent

  • Compliance with GIVAX’s legal obligations

GIVAX is headquartered in the United States, and as a result, personal data will be processed by GIVAX in many jurisdictions including the United States. GIVAX may contract with service providers to process your personal data on GIVAX’s behalf; these service providers may be located outside of the EEA, CH, and UK. Data protection laws in the United States or other countries may not offer you the same protections as the laws of your country. By using this Website and by submitting personal data to GIVAX, you understands your personal data could be transferred to other countries. GIVAX commits to ensure the protection of personal data during such transfers in accordance with applicable laws and this Privacy Policy.

In addition to your rights listed in this Privacy Policy, data protection laws in the EEA, CH, and UK may also provide you with the following additional rights:

  • The right to withdraw consent at any time, if GIVAX is processing personal data on the basis of consent

  • To access your personal data that GIVAX has collected

  • To request that GIVAX rectify or erase your personal data

  • To request that GIVAX restrict the way it uses or shares your personal data

  • To object to the way GIVAX uses or shares your personal data

  • To ask GIVAX to transfer your personal data to someone else

  • To lodge a complaint with a data protection authority in the EEA, CH, or UK

GIVAX’s ability or obligation to comply with your request may be limited by applicable law.

To request to exercise on of these rights, please contact us at info@givax.bio.

If you are unsatisfied with your response to any issues that you raise, you also have the right to make a complaint with the data protection authority in your jurisdiction.

Annex II Rights for California Residents

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Acts (CCPA) grants certain rights to California residents. For this section, personal data has the meaning given to it under the CCPA. To the extent the CCPA applies to GIVAX’s processing of your Personal Data, you would be entitled to the following rights:

1. Right to Know

You have the right to request that GIVAX discloses certain information to you about GIVAX’s collection of your personal data. Upon GIVAX’s receipt of your verified request, GIVAX will provide you with:

  • The categories of personal data GIVAX has collected about you

  • The categories of sources from which GIVAX has collected your personal data

  • GIVAX’s business or commercial purpose(s) for collecting your personal data

  • The categories of third parties with whom GIVAX has shared your personal data

  • The specific pieces of personal data GIVAX has collected about you

You have the right to request that GIVAX discloses certain information to you about GIVAX’s disclosures and sales of your personal data; however, GIVAX does not sell personal data. Upon our receipt of your verified request, GIVAX will provide you with:

  • The categories of personal data GIVAX has collected about you; and

  • The categories of personal data that GIVAX disclosed about you for a business purpose.

2. Right to Opt-Out of Targeted Advertising or Sale

You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal data, however, GIVAX does not sell personal data.

3. Right to Delete

You have the right at any time to request that GIVAX deletes your personal data.

4. Right to Correct

You can ask GIVAX to correct inaccurate personal data that GIVAX has about you.

5. Right to Nondiscrimination

GIVAX will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. This generally means GIVAX will not deny you any goods or services, charge different prices or rates, provide a different level of service or quality of goods, or suggest that you might receive a different price or level of quality for goods.

If you are a California resident and want to submit a request exercising your rights, please contact us at info@givax.bio or by mail at the address listed above. You must provide us with sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify who you are and describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to properly evaluate and respond to it. If we are unable to verify your identity with the information provided, we may ask you for additional pieces of information. We may also require you do either of the following: (1) verify your own identity directly with the business or (2) directly confirm to us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request. If you are an authorized agent making a request on behalf of another individual, you must provide us with signed documentation that you are authorized to act on behalf of that individual.

Please note that we are not obligated to respond to more than two Right to Know/Access requests for the same individual’s personal data within a 12-month period.

California law also permits California residents to request certain information about our disclosure of personal data to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year. As discussed elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we do not currently share the personal data of California residents with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. However, if you have further questions about our privacy practices and compliance with California law, please contact us as explained above.
