Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 2023

Prometheus Biosciences (“Prometheus Biosciences,” “us,” “e” or “our”) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company engaging in the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel therapeutics and companion diagnostics products for the treatment of immune-mediated diseases. We have created this privacy policy (“Policy”) in order to comprehensively inform individuals about our privacy practices and to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. This Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, store, retain or otherwise process your personal information in the course of our operating our business, which includes the administration of the website www.prometheusbiosciences.com and its sub-domains (the “Website”) (collectively, our “Services”).

When we refer to “you” or “your,” we mean the person about whom we collect personal information or data. If the person accessing the Website does so on behalf of, or for the purposes of, another person, including a business or other organization, “you” or “your” also means that other person, including a business organization, if applicable.

We provide our Services to businesses and not to individual consumers. Therefore, most of the data that we collect is regarding businesses. However, in the course of providing our Services, we may collect personal information of individuals, as will be described in this Policy. This may include personal information that we collect about you when you visit our Website, your business contact information if we provide our Services to a company that you work with, or if you are a sole proprietorship and you engage with our Services.

Our Policy is supplemented by the following policies which are located immediately proceeding this Policy:

  • International Privacy Policy, and

8.  LINKS TO OTHER SITES

This Website may link to other websites. Once you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy policy of the new site and its operator. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policy of each entity to which you provide information.

9.  SECURITY

We take reasonable measures, including administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, to protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. If you have additional questions regarding security, please contact us directly using the information provided under Contact Us.

10.  CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) permits residents of California to have the following additional rights. For more information, or if you have questions, you can contact us using the information provided under Contact Us. For your protection, before Prometheus Biosciences can respond to your request, Prometheus Biosciences may be required to collect certain information from you to verify your identity. This may include asking for your full name, aliases, current home addresses or alternative e-mail address. The information you provide to verify your identity will only be used for verification purposes, and a record of your request, including certain information contained within it, will be maintained by Prometheus Biosciences for its files.

A. California residents have the right to request Prometheus Biosciences disclose what information it collects, uses, and discloses.

California residents have the right to request that Prometheus Biosciences disclose what personal information Prometheus Biosciences collects, uses and discloses about them. The general categories of personal information Prometheus Biosciences collects about California residents are listed above under What Information We Collect. If you are a California resident and would like to request the specific personal information that Prometheus Biosciences collects, uses and discloses about you, please contact us at the email or toll-free number provided in this Policy.

B. California residents have the right to request the deletion of their personal information maintained by Prometheus Biosciences.

California residents have the right to request that Prometheus Biosciences delete the personal information Prometheus Biosciences maintains about them. Prometheus Biosciences will make every effort to comply with California residents’ requests to delete their personal information, however, certain laws or other legal requirements might prevent some personal information from being deleted. If you are a California resident and would like to request the deletion of your personal information, please contact Prometheus Biosciences at the email or toll-free number provided under Contact Us. To verify any request to delete personal information, you will be required to provide the information contained in the Request Form. Failure to do so could result in Prometheus Biosciences’ inability to comply with your request.

C. California residents have the right to non-discrimination for the exercise of their privacy rights under the CCPA.

Under the CCPA, California residents have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by Prometheus Biosciences for the exercise of their privacy rights. However, the exercise of certain privacy rights by California residents will make it so that Prometheus Biosciences is no longer able to provide those residents with certain services. For example, if, at the request of a California resident, Prometheus Biosciences deletes all of the California resident’s personal information that it maintains, Prometheus Biosciences will no longer be able to send marketing communications to that California resident.

D. California residents have the right to opt-out of the sale of the personal information.

Under the CCPA, California residents can request that a company stop selling their personal information. However, as described above, Prometheus Biosciences does not sell your personal information.

E. California residents can designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on their behalf.

California residents can designate an authorized agent to make requests under the CCPA related to the residents’ personal information. Prometheus Biosciences can deny any request made by an agent who does not submit proof that he or she has been authorized by the California resident to act on the California resident’s behalf. For more information on submitting a request on behalf of a California resident as an authorized agent, you can contact us using the information provided under Contact Us.

F. Do Not Track.

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is an optional browser setting that allows you to express your preferences regarding tracking across websites. Most modern web browsers give you the option to send a Do Not Track signal to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. However, there is no accepted standard for how a website should respond to this signal, so we do not take any action in response to this signal. Prometheus Biosciences does not have a mechanism in place to respond to DNT signals. Instead, in addition to publicly available external tools, we offer you the choices described in this Privacy Policy to manage the collection and use of information about you.

Prometheus Biosciences does track some activity across websites (including your search terms, the website you visited before you visited or used the Services and other clickstream data) and we may continue to collect information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy from web browsers that have enabled DNT signals or similar mechanisms.

11.  NEVADA CONSUMERS

Nevada law provides Nevada residents the ability to opt-out of the sale of their personal information. However, we do not sell the personal information of Nevada residents as described by Nevada law. Prometheus Biosciences does not disclose your personal information unless the disclosure is (i) to an entity that processes personal information on our behalf as a service provider or (ii) for purposes which are consistent with the reasonable expectations of a consumer considering the context in which we collected it.

12.  CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may amend this Policy at any time by posting revisions on our Website.

13.  CONTACT US

To submit questions or to inquire about or submit a request relating to data rights, you can contact us by:

 

INTERNATIONAL PRIVACY POLICY

The above general Policy still applies to those individuals who reside outside of the United States or who have had personal information collected by Prometheus Biosciences or its agents in a country other than the United States. However, due to various international regulations, those individuals may be entitled to additional disclosures and rights. This International Privacy Policy (the “International Policy”) supplements the above general Policy, but where the provisions of the general Policy and this International Policy cannot be construed consistently, this International Policy will govern.

Please note that by visiting the Website or by having personal information collected by Prometheus Biosciences as the controller of your data, your personal information is being stored or processed in the United States where our data center and servers are located and operated. The United States may not have privacy laws that are as strong or comprehensive as the privacy laws in your own country. Your personal information may also be stored in a multi-tenant cloud environment hosted by our service providers.

Depending on your country of residence, you may have data rights as provided by various laws, regulations and codes, which can include the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, the UK Data Protection Act 2018, the Swiss Revised Federal Act on Data Protection 1992 and Ordinance on the Federal Act on Data Protection, the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 or the Australian Privacy Act 1988, among others. An interactive map showing the various privacy and protection laws around the world can be found here.

THIS INTERNATIONAL POLICY APPLIES TO ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU THAT WE COLLECT, HOLD, USE AND DISCLOSE, REGARDLESS OF THE WAY IN WHICH WE COLLECT IT (I.E. WHETHER THROUGH THE WEBSITE, THE SERVICES OR OTHERWISE).

1. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

You can find specific details about the personal information that we collect about you in the sections titled “What Information We Collect From You And For What Purposes” and “Your Information That We Receive From External Sources” of the general Policy.

Where we are the data controller with regards to the personal information that we process, you may exercise your rights as a data subject, including the right to object to the processing of your personal information when it is processed based on legitimate interests, as described in this International Policy. Where we are collecting your personal information on behalf of another entity (i.e., we are not the data controller), we will provide you with the identity of the data controller so that you may exercise your rights as a data subject directly with them.

2. PSEUDONYMIZED DATA AND AGGREGATED INFORMATION

Whereas aggregated and anonymized information is information that can no longer identify a specific individual and is no longer “personal data” as per GDPR regulation, pseudonymized information means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. We will only maintain and use this type of information in pseudonymized form and we will not attempt to reidentify this information, except for the purposes of validating our deidentification process.

3. HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION

As a general matter, we collect your personal information to perform our Services and administer our Website. You can find specific details about the purposes for which we collect personal information about you in the sections titled “What Information We Collect From You And For What Purposes” and “Your Information That We Receive From External Sources”.

4. THE BASIS ON WHICH WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will only collect and process your personal information as is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, one or more of our functions or activities, including for administering our Website, or providing our Services to you or our customers.

Where required by law, we rely on the following legal grounds to process your personal information, namely:

  • Performance of a contract:  We may need to collect and use your personal information to enter into a contract with you or to perform a contract or provide services that you have requested from us.
  • Consent:  Where required by law, we will obtain your explicit consent for collecting and processing of your personal information.
  • Legitimate interests:  We may use your personal information for our legitimate interests of detecting and preventing fraud, maintaining the security of Prometheus Biosciences’ network and information systems, and conducting our clinical trials and performing research relating to medical conditions and related tests and therapies.
  • Legal matters:  We may process your personal information when its collection, use or disclosure is reasonably necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of a legal or equitable claim.

​​​​5. OBTAINING CONSENT

Except when otherwise permitted by law or binding regulation, we will obtain the requisite consent from you prior to collecting and, in any case, prior to using or disclosing your personal information for any purpose other than as disclosed in this International Policy. You may provide your consent to us orally, in writing, by electronic communication, through your actions or any other means reasonably capable of conveying your consent. Generally, we will seek to obtain your explicit consent if we collect, use or disclose sensitive personal information about you.

6. THIRD PARTIES

We remain responsible for all personal information communicated to other entities for processing on our behalf. As such, we ensure that other entities that are engaged to provide products or services on our behalf and are provided with personal information are required to observe the intent of this International Policy by having comparable levels of security protection or, when required, by assuring us (through a confidentiality agreement) that they will not use or disclose the personal information for any purpose other than the purpose for which the personal information was communicated. You can find specific details about to whom Prometheus Biosciences discloses your personal information in the section titled When And With Whom Do We Disclose Your Information.

7. LIMITATIONS

We only collect the personal information necessary to fulfill the purposes identified to you prior to or at the time of collection, or any other reasonable and legitimate purposes or as required by law. We do not use or disclose your personal information, except for the purposes for which it was collected, or new purposes to which you have consented, or as required or otherwise permitted by applicable law. We do not, as a condition of providing the Website or performing the Services, or as an administrative or management requirement, require consent to the collection, use or disclosure of personal information beyond what is reasonably required for such purposes, or to comply with our obligations under applicable law or regulation.

8. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may keep a record of your personal information, including correspondence or comments, in a file specific to you. We will utilize, disclose, or retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and for legal or business requirements. We will establish minimum and maximum retention periods and procedures for maintaining and destroying your personal information. When personal information is retained to make a decision about you, we will retain such information for the period required in order to comply with our internal data retention policies.

9. ACCESS AND RIGHTS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

There are a number of data privacy laws that provide specific data subject rights to residents of certain jurisdictions. This section of this International Policy describes the rights available to those individuals who are entitled to them. Not all individuals about whom we possess information will have access to these rights and we may not be able to provide these rights to everyone due to legal and jurisdictional limitations. We may not be able to comply with your request for a number of reasons, including:

  • you do not live in a jurisdiction that grants you the specific right that you have requested;
  • the information that you’ve requested is not subject to the regulation that grants you the right to make a request in relation to your personal information;
  • we are prevented by law, regulation or rule from complying with your request;
  • we are not able to comply with your request without incurring disproportionate burden or expense; or
  • if complying with your request conflicts with the integrity of our services or the ability to administer our business, to administer our business and related relationships or to establish, defend or administer legal claims.

If any of the above reasons apply, we will let you know in our response to your request. Note that we may be required to gather additional information from you in order to process your request. We will only use this information in the context of evaluating and responding to your request. If you fail or refuse to provide the necessary information, we may not be able to process your request.

Subject to the exceptions provided by applicable law or regulation, and depending on your country of residence, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • to know what personal information Prometheus Biosciences maintains or processes about you;
  • to access personal information maintained about you;
  • to ensure that your personal information is accurate and complete;
  • to correct incomplete, inaccurate or out-of-date personal information;
  • to erasure, deletion or the right to be forgotten;
  • to restriction or suppression of processing of personal information;
  • to data portability with regards to your personal information;
  • to withdraw consent to the processing of your personal information if consent was previously provided;
  • to information about the entities with which we have shared your personal information;
  • to know how and from whom we received your personal information;
  • to opt-out of transfers of your personal information to a third party; and
  • to opt-out of any direct marketing communications received from Prometheus Biosciences, to the extent that you receive any.

You can request to exercise these rights by using the information provided under Contact Us. Please be as specific as possible in your request so that we can meet the applicable handling timelines.

Finally, you have the right to raise a complaint with Prometheus Biosciences or the appropriate data protection authority of your country of residence if you feel that Prometheus Biosciences’ processing of your personal information violates your individual rights, is not in line with this International Policy or violates the privacy principals, laws or regulations of your country of residence.

You can contact Prometheus Biosciences’ data protection officer by using the information provided under Contact Us.  We will promptly investigate any complaint and will respond within the timeframes described in this International Policy.

10. RESPONSE TIME

We will make every reasonable effort to respond to your written request no later than 30 days after receipt of such request. We will advise you in writing if we cannot meet your request within this time limit. When applicable, you have the right to make a complaint to the appropriate supervisory authority, as detailed in this International Policy, with respect to this time limit.

11. COSTS

We expect to be able to respond to your request without charge as a general matter.  However, where allowed by law, we reserve the right to collect a reasonable charge when you request the transcription, reproduction or transmission of such information. We will notify you, following your request, of the appropriate amount that will be charged. You will then have the opportunity to withdraw your request.

12. IDENTIFYING YOU IN CONNECTION WITH REQUESTS

We may require that you provide to us additional information to identify yourself before we provide information about the existence, use or disclosure of your personal information in our possession. Any such information that you provide to us shall be used only for this purpose.

13. OPT-OUT AND UNSUBSCRIBE

You may opt-out of receiving marketing and promotional messages from us, if those messages are powered by us, by following the instructions in those messages. If you decide to opt-out, you will still receive non-promotional communications that are necessary to maintain the existing business relationship between you and Prometheus Biosciences, to the extent there is one.

14. ACCURACY

We will use reasonable efforts to ensure that your personal information is kept as accurate, complete and up to date as possible. We do not routinely update your personal information in our possession, unless such a process is necessary. In order to help us maintain and ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date, you must inform us, without delay, of any change in the data that you have provided to us.

You can at any time, challenge the accuracy or completeness of the personal information we have about you, subject to the exceptions provided by applicable law. If you demonstrate that the personal information we have on you is inaccurate or incomplete, we will amend the personal information as required. Where appropriate, we will transmit the amended data to third parties to whom we have communicated your personal information.

15. SAFEGUARDS

We use security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of personal information to protect it from loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. These safeguards include physical measures, such as restricted access to offices and equipment, organizational measures, such as security clearances and publishing this policy to appropriate personnel with instructions to act in accordance with its principles (for example, limiting access on a “need to know” basis), and technological measures, such as the use of passwords and/or encryption.

To administer our business and provide our services, we may share your personal information with our affiliates or with third parties in locations around the world. When we transfer your personal information outside your jurisdiction, we will take steps to ensure that such data transfers comply with applicable data privacy laws. If you live in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, your personal information therefore may be stored and processed outside the EEA and the UK and in countries that are not subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission or the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office and which may not provide for the same level of data protection. If we transfer or store personal information outside of the EEA, UK or other countries or economies that require legal protection for international data transfer, we will ensure that an adequate level of protection is provided, as further described below, entering into written intra-group data processing agreements with recipients that require them to provide the same level of protection, or relying on other legally-approved transfer mechanisms.

If you are a resident of the UK, Switzerland or European Economic Area (EEA), and your personal information is transferred outside of the UK or the EEA, we will:

  • Process it in a territory which the European Commission (or similar applicable authority) has determined provides an adequate level of protection for personal information;
  • Implement appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information, including transferring it in accordance with applicable transfer mechanisms, including the following:
    • European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (available here);
    • The UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office International Data Transfer Agreement (available here); or
    • Switzerland’s Transborder Data Flow Agreement (available here); and
  • Entering into intra-group data processing agreements with non-EU recipients that require them to provide the same level of protection, or relying on other legally approved transfer mechanisms.

  • Session cookies provide information about how a website is used during a single browser session while a user is visiting a website and usually expire after the browser is closed.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device between different browser sessions for a set amount of time in order to enable the website to remember user preferences, settings, or actions across other sites. A persistent cookie will remain on a user’s device for a set period of time specified in the cookie.

Our collection of cookies

Third-party cookies

The Website may allow third-parties to place cookies on your Internet-connected device in order to deliver advertisements based upon your web-browsing habits and history. Further, in order to provide interoperability and plug-ins from various social media websites (like LinkedIn), the Website may allow these third-parties to place and collect cookies on your Internet-connected device. However, you can restrict the third-party collection of cookies through the instructions provided in the section “How to Restrict Cookies” below.

Do Not Track

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is an optional browser setting that allows you to express your preferences regarding tracking across websites. Most modern web browsers give you the option to send a Do Not Track signal to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. However, there is no accepted standard for how a website should respond to this signal, so we do not take any action in response to this signal. Prometheus Biosciences does not have a mechanism in place to respond to DNT signals. Instead, in addition to publicly available external tools, we offer you the choices described in this Cookies Policy to manage the collection and use of information about you.

How to Restrict Cookies

Your browser may include information on how to adjust your settings.
