Privacy Policy

We collect information in two primary ways: information you choose to provide and limited information collected automatically when you use the Site. Infomation you provide directly

• Contact form. If you contact Gavia BIO through the Site, we collect the information you choose to provide, including your name, email address, message, and any other information you include in your inquiry.

Contact-form information may be processed through the website technologies, form providers, email platforms, and hosting environment used by Gavia BIO to operate the Site.

Please do not submit medical records, identifiable patient information, protected health information (PHI), or other sensitive health information through the Site or its general contact forms. The Site is not intended or designed to collect patient-specific clinical information or to serve as a channel for providing medical care.

Information collected automatically

• We may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve its performance and content. These services may collect information such as browser and device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, session information, approximate geographic location, and interactions with the Site. Analytics services may use cookies or similar identifiers to provide these measurements.
• Spam and security tools. We may use services such as Google reCAPTCHA with website forms to help protect the Site from spam, fraud, and abuse. These services may process information such as IP address, browser and device information, and interaction or risk signals for security purposes. Your use of reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Google Terms of Service.
• Hosting and technical logs. Our hosting provider and the technologies used to operate the Site may process limited technical information, such as IP addresses, request logs, browser information, and security-related data, as necessary to host, secure, maintain, and troubleshoot the Site.

We may use information collected through the Site to:

• Respond to inquiries and communicate with you about potential research, scientific, investment, business, licensing, development, or other relationships;
• Send Gavia BIO news or updates;
• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
• Understand Site traffic, usage patterns, and content performance;
• Detect and prevent spam, fraud, abuse, or other security threats;
• Comply with applicable law, legal process, or governmental requests; and
• Protect the rights, property, safety, and integrity of Gavia BIO, our visitors, and others.

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies in connection with analytics, security, website functionality, and services such as Google Analytics and Google reCAPTCHA. Analytics technologies help us understand how the Site is used, while security technologies help distinguish legitimate visitors from automated or abusive traffic.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies or technologies may affect certain Site features or the operation of forms. Where applicable, additional choices may be made available through cookie or consent controls implemented on the Site.

You can also opt out of Google Analytics measurement across websites by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on made available by Google.

Because we do not sell personal information or use it for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising, we do not respond differently to browser "Do Not Track" signals or to Global Privacy Control signals. If our practices change, we will update this Policy.

We do not sell personal information and we do not share personal information for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising. We also do not use personal information collected through the Site for behavioral advertising or remarketing.

We may disclose information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers. We may provide information to vendors that help us host, operate, analyze, communicate through, and secure the Site. These providers process information in connection with the services they provide.
• Legal and safety reasons. We may disclose information if we reasonably believe disclosure is required by law, legal process, or a valid governmental request, or is appropriate to protect rights, safety, security, or prevent fraud or abuse.
• Business transactions. Information may be transferred as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, licensing transaction, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, subject to applicable law.

We retain inquiry information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, provide requested communications, maintain relevant business records, support an ongoing relationship, comply with legal obligations, or protect our legitimate interests. Information that is no longer reasonably needed may be deleted.

As a general matter, we retain contact-form inquiries for up to [three (3) years] after our last substantive communication with you, unless a continuing business, research, or legal relationship, a legal obligation, or a litigation hold requires a longer period. Subscription information is retained until you unsubscribe, and for a reasonable period afterward in order to honor that request.

Technical and analytics information may be retained for different periods based on the nature of the information, our settings, operational requirements, and the policies of the service provider involved.

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information collected through the Site. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored through the Site.

The Site and its public contact mechanisms are not intended to function as secure systems for transmitting patient information, medical records, PHI, or other sensitive clinical information.

You may contact us at any time to ask about personal information you have provided through the Site, request a correction or deletion, or change your communication preferences. If you receive a marketing email from Gavia BIO, you may also use the unsubscribe mechanism provided in that communication.

Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information, such as rights to access, correct, delete, obtain a copy of, or restrict certain uses of personal information. We will consider and respond to applicable privacy-rights requests as required by law.

To make a privacy-related request, contact us using the information in the "Contact Us" section below and describe what you are asking for. We may need to request information that allows us to verify your identity and locate the information you are asking about, and we will use that information only to process your request. We will respond within the period required by applicable law. You will not be denied service, charged a different price, or provided a different level of service because you exercised a privacy right. Where applicable law permits, an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf, and we may ask for proof of that authorization.

Because Gavia BIO does not sell personal information or use Site data for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising, we do not maintain a separate opt-out process for those activities.

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and Gavia BIO does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. If we learn that we have collected such information without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Gavia BIO is based in the United States. The Site is intended for a United States audience and is not directed to individuals in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland. We do not target the Site's content or communications to those regions, offer goods or services to individuals located there, or use the Site to monitor the behavior of individuals located there.

Information collected through the Site may be processed or stored in the United States or in other locations where our service providers operate. If you access the Site from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and your information may be transferred to jurisdictions whose data-protection laws differ from those in your location.

If you are located outside the United States and believe we hold personal information about you, you may contact us using the information in the "Contact Us" section below. We will consider and respond to your request in accordance with applicable law.

The Site may contain links to websites, social-media platforms, publications, or services operated by third parties, including Gavia BIO's LinkedIn page and YouTube channel. Gavia BIO is not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of those third parties. When you leave the Site or interact with a third-party platform, that third party's own privacy notice and terms apply.
We encourage you to review the privacy notices of third-party services before providing information to them.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Site, our practices, technology, or applicable requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this Policy. If a change is material, we will take reasonable steps to make the change apparent on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after an updated Policy is posted is subject to the revised Policy.
