It also applies to information collected by or through our Services, which may include by phone, text message, email, the Site or other communication mechanisms. To the extent you are a parent, guardian, caretaker or other authorized representative of another individual (such as a minor) and register for the Services on that person's behalf, you represent that you are legally authorized to take such actions and to disclose the individual's Personal Information. In such case, statements in this Privacy Policy directed to registered users of the Services apply to the person whose Personal Information you provided.

For example, we collect information in the following circumstances: when you contact us. when you register for and engage with our Services. and when you otherwise communicate with us.

If you choose not to provide the Personal Information we request, you may still visit and use parts of the Site, but may be unable to access or use certain features, options, programs, and services of the Site. In addition, as we need certain Personal Information for the performance of the Services, the consequence of not providing such information might be that the Services cannot be provided as requested. The Personal Information you provide to us may include the following: <ul> <li> Information you provide via email, through our 'Contact' section, or using contact details listed on various parts of the Site, including your name, e-mail, phone number, and any other information you decide to provide. </li> <li> In connection with the Services, information you provide in order to sign up for clinical trial matching, including your name, age, e-mail address, health conditions relevant to the clinical trial opportunities, or any other information you decide to provide to us in connection with the Services. </li> <li> If you are one of our customers, suppliers, or prospects, or interested in serving as an investigator of a clinical trial, we may collect or process limited Personal Information in the course of our business relations with you. For example, when you engage us for our Services, sign up for a webcast, request a demo, or the like. Such Personal Information may include your name, company, title, order details, and business contact details (e-mail address, telephone number, address). and </li> <li> We may also collect any other information you may want to share with us. Moreover, if you contact us, a record of such correspondence may be kept. </li> </ul> (2) Information Collected Automatically Certain information is collected automatically on the Site by means of various software tools.

(4) Information Received from Third Parties We may also obtain data from third-party sources such as a registrant's authorized representative or guardian, our customers or vendors such as data providers.

PURPOSES FOR OUR COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION (1) General Uses We may use Personal Information obtained through the Services in the following ways: <ul> <li>To provide the Services;</li> <li>To provide, analyze, administer, develop, and improve the Site or our Services;</li> <li> To contact you in connection with the Site, our Services, and notifications, services, programs or offerings for which you may have registered. </li> <li>To send you updates and promotional materials for which you have registered;</li> <li> To assess whether a clinical trial is suited for you, to contact you when a potential clinical trial is identified, and to bring you in contact with principal investigators, clinical research sites or clinical trial service providers, using solely for these purposes the health information that is provided to us based on your consent. </li> <li> To identify and authenticate your access to the parts of the Site and Services that you are authorized to access. </li> <li>For our legitimate interests of documenting and managing our internal administration;</li> <li> To protect the rights and/or our property and to ensure the technical functionality and security of the Site or Services. and </li> <li> To comply with applicable laws and for our legitimate purposes of protecting our legal rights, in connection with legal claims or enforcement of contracts, and for compliance, regulatory, and investigative purposes. This may include sharing the Personal Information with third parties, such as governmental authorities or law enforcement officials, subject to applicable law. </li> </ul> (2) Registered Users If you register for our Services, SubjectWell uses algorithms that enforce criteria to select the clinical trial most suitable to you, which is the service that you (as the data subject) request from SubjectWell. The decision on the clinical trial matching is therefore necessary for the performance of the contract between you and SubjectWell. Furthermore, our patient recruitment marketplace is voluntary and when you choose to participate and disclose your information to us, you also provide your explicit consent, which is freely given and can be withdrawn at any time by contacting us through the contact details further below. The logic that is used for the decision-making is created by SubjectWell employees reviewing study protocols that define inclusion/exclusion criteria for study eligibility. The SubjectWell systems then enforce these criteria based on the responses collected during the phone screening process. The most important consequences of the automated decisions in question is that you will or will not have the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial. In order to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, you have the right to obtain human intervention on the part of SubjectWell, to express your point of view and to contest the decision. Also note that we only provide clinical trial participant recruitment services and are not involved in clinical trials or informed about the results. Therefore, SubjectWell does not determine the purposes or means of the further processing of your Personal Information, including your health information, by principal investigators, clinical research sites or clinical trial service providers once you are brought in contact with them. V. WHO DO WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH? We may disclose Personal Information you provide to us or that we collect automatically on the Site or in and through the Services with the following categories of third parties: <ul> <li> Service providers, such as data storage service providers, marketing service providers, and communications service providers that help us operate our business or provide services on our behalf. </li> <li> If you would like to participate in a clinical trial and there are matching clinical trials, we may share Personal Information about you with principal investigators, clinical research sites, and clinical trial service providers that are relevant to you. </li> <li> Public authorities, such as law enforcement, if we are legally required to do so or if we need to for national security or to protect our rights or the rights of third parties. </li> <li>Our subsidiaries and affiliates for our business operations. and</li> <li> A subsequent owner, co-owner or operator of the Site and their advisors in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, restructuring, the sale of substantially all of our stock and/or assets, or in connection with bankruptcy proceedings, or other corporate reorganization, in accordance with this Privacy Policy. </li> </ul> VI.
