This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information through our website. Our website is primarily informational in nature and does not provide user accounts, applications, or diagnostic services.
1. Personal Information We Collect
We collect personal information only where it is voluntarily provided by you. “Personal information” means information about an identifiable individual. The types of personal information we may collect include:
a) Contact Forms
When you submit an inquiry, we may collect your first and last name, email address, phone number (optional), organization (optional), inquiry details, selected topic, and message, as well as your self-identified category (e.g., partner, healthcare provider, researcher, investor, media, or other).
b) Newsletter Subscription
If you subscribe to receive updates, we may collect your email address and, where provided, your category or area of interest.
c) Communications
We may retain records of communications you send to us, including emails and inquiries, in order to respond to you and maintain appropriate business records.
We collect personal information directly from you and do not knowingly obtain personal information from data brokers or unrelated third-party sources.
If you provide personal information relating to another individual, you represent that you have the authority to do so and that such information may be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information or collect more information than necessary for the purposes described herein.
2. Purposes of Collection and Use
MedMira collects and uses personal information for limited and legitimate business purposes, including responding to inquiries, communicating with you, providing information about our company and activities, delivering newsletters or updates where you have opted in, maintaining internal records, and complying with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.
We do not use personal information for profiling, automated decision-making, or targeted advertising.
3. Consent
By submitting personal information to MedMira, you consent to its collection, use, and disclosure as described in this Privacy Policy.
Where required by applicable law, you may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Withdrawal of consent may limit our ability to respond to your inquiry or provide requested information.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
MedMira’s website does not use cookies, analytics tools, or tracking technologies for advertising or behavioral tracking purposes.
However, our website may include content or links to third-party platforms, such as LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), or YouTube. Interaction with such content (including embedded media or external links) may result in those third parties placing cookies or using similar technologies on your device.
MedMira does not control and has no access to data collected through such third-party technologies.
5. Disclosure of Personal Information
MedMira does not sell, rent, or trade personal information.
We may disclose personal information to third parties only in limited circumstances, including to service providers acting on our behalf (such as email distribution providers), who are contractually required to protect the information and use it only for the intended purposes.
We may also disclose personal information where required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of MedMira or others, or in connection with a corporate transaction where permitted by law.
