Security Measures
We use various reasonable safeguards (administrative, organizational, technical, and physical) to protect the Personal Information we collect and process. Our security controls are designed to maintain an appropriate level of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your Personal Information. Nonetheless, in the event of an incident that we are required by law to inform you of, we may notify you electronically, in writing, or by telephone, if permitted to do so by law. We encourage you to use caution when using the Internet. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us as specified in the “Contact Us” section below.
Data Retention
The time periods for which we retain your Personal Information depend on the purposes for which we use it and applicable law for the type of data and use. SomaLogic will keep your Personal Information for as long as you are a registered subscriber or user of our Services or for as long as we have a valid business purpose to do so and, thereafter, for no longer than is required or permitted by applicable law, as reflected in SomaLogic’s internal Records Retention Policy. The Personal Information we collect may be stored and processed in servers in the United States or other jurisdictions where SomaLogic, or our service providers, have facilities.

We will take prompt steps to remove the Personal Information from our systems.

SomaLogic is headquartered in the United States, and we have operations, entities, and service providers both in the United States and throughout the world. As such, we and our service providers may transfer your Personal Information to, or access it in, jurisdictions that may not provide equivalent levels of data protection as that of your home jurisdiction. We will take steps to ensure that your Personal Information receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it. If you are located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the UK, we provide adequate protection for the transfer of Personal Information to countries outside of these areas, such as through the use of authorized EU Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK Standard Contractual Clauses, or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Depending on your location, you may have the right to request a copy of such appropriate safeguards by contacting us as set out at the end of this Policy.

Your Rights
Depending on where you are located, you may have additional rights, as detailed below.
- The right to access: You may have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not Personal Information concerning you is being processed, and, where that is the case, to request access to the Personal Information. Information that you have a right to access includes the purposes of the processing, the categories of Personal Information concerned, and the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the Personal Information have been or will be disclosed, among other categories of information. However, this is not an absolute right, and the interests of other individuals may restrict your right of access. You may have the right to obtain a copy of the Personal Information free of charge. For further copies requested by you, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs.
- The right to rectification (right to correct inaccurate information): You may have the right to request that we correct any Personal Information about you that is inaccurate. Depending on the purpose of the processing, you also have the right to request that we complete the Personal Information we hold about you where you believe it is incomplete, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

Such right to object may apply if we collect and process your Personal Information for profiling purposes in order to better understand your interests in our products and services or for direct marketing. If you have a right to object and you exercise this right, your Personal Information will no longer be processed by us for such purposes. Such a right to object may not exist if the processing of your Personal Information is necessary to enter into a contract with you or to perform a contract with you that has already been concluded.
- The right to data portability: You may have the right to request that we transfer the Personal Information we have collected about you to another organization, or directly to you, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, under certain conditions.

However, SomaLogic may require the use of your Personal Information to provide access to the Services. Therefore, when you exercise, in particular, your deletion right, as well as other rights, you may lose access to certain aspects of the Services that require your Personal Information.
Note that certain information governed by either the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or HIPAA or subject to the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects (also known as the Common Rule) pursuant to either good clinical practice guidelines issued by the International Counsel for Harmonisation or human subject protection requirements of the United States Food and Drug Administration, (2) is not in scope with respect to the application of and/or to the rights of residents of certain states within the United States. However, additional rights may be available under those laws and standards. Please contact us at [email protected] for more information.

Further, in relation to marketing communications from us, you may choose not to receive such messages by clicking on the unsubscribe link, or by contacting us as specified in the “Contact Us” section below. We may still send you some important emails, like responding to you by email if you send us a request or comment.

Specifically, you must provide us with a copy of the signed permission you have given to the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf and verify your own identity directly with us.
Your verifiable request must: (i) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or that you are an authorized representative of that person; and (ii) describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to the request.
