privacy policy:
RApport knows your privacy is important to you. It is also important to us. Our Privacy Policy explains the types of information that we may collect here at http://rapport.bio/ (the “Site”), how we may use and disclose such information, and how we plan to protect such information, to the extent we collect it. As our firm and the legal landscape evolve, this Privacy Policy may change, so please check this page periodically to ensure you are up to date with our current practices.
The Site (“RApport”) is managed by employees of RA Capital Management, LP (referred to collectively in this Privacy Policy as “RApport,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar pronouns).
What types of information may we collect through our site?
We may collect information from or about Site users concerning use of the Site.
We may collect Personal Data that you provide directly to us if and when you enter certain information on our Site. “Personal Data” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, location, e-mail address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of your data.
As is the case with many websites, our servers automatically collect your browser type and IP address when you visit the Site, and we may associate that with your domain name or that of your Internet access provider. In addition, we may capture certain “clickstream data” pertaining to your Site usage. Data captured may include, for example, the referring page that linked you to the Site, the country from which you are conducting your browsing session, the next website you visit when you leave the Site, and any search terms you have entered on the Site or a referral site. See our Cookies and Similar Technologies Notice in this Privacy Policy for more information about how the Site, related services and third-party analytics, advertising and social media companies may use cookies and similar technologies to collect your information when you use the Site.
We do not intentionally gather Personal Data from visitors who are under the age of 13. If a child under 13 submits Personal Data to us and we learn that the Personal Data is the information of a child under 13, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible. If you believe that we might have any Personal Data from a child under 13, please contact us at rapport@racap.com.
RApport is headquartered in the United States, and your Personal Data may be collected, used and stored in the United States or other locations outside of your home country. Privacy laws in the locations where we handle your Personal Data may not be as protective as the privacy laws in your home country.
How may we use and disclose your information?
First and foremost, please do not send or disclose to us any sensitive personal information (e.g., social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background or union membership) on or through the Site or otherwise! If you do send or disclose any sensitive personal information to us (such as when you submit user generated content to the Site), you have consented to our processing and use of such sensitive personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to our processing and use of such sensitive personal information, do not provide it!
We may use your information:
for purposes that we disclose to you when you submit information to us and in accordance with this Privacy Policy;
to provide improved administration of our Site;
to improve the quality of experience when you interact with our Site;
to respond to your inquiries related to audience engagement requests;
to send you RApport-related marketing communications (which we believe may be of interest to you, but will provide you with the ability to opt out);
to investigate or prevent violation of the law or our terms and conditions;
to secure the Site;
to protect our, your or others’ rights, privacy, safety or property;
to comply with applicable laws, lawful requests and legal process, such as to respond to subpoenas or requests from government authorities or, where permitted by law, in connection with a legal investigation;
to enforce our terms and conditions;
to prosecute or defend legal claims; or
to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.
In some cases, we may ask for your consent to collect, use or share your Personal Data, such as when you let us post your comments or survey responses on the Site. We may perform any of the above functions through our service providers.
We generally do not share information collected about you through the Site. However, if we do collect Personal Data from you, in addition to the circumstances described above, we may share your information among our affiliates for our business purposes in accordance with this Privacy Policy, or in connection with a corporate change or dissolution, including a merger, sale of assets, reorganization, consolidation, bankruptcy, liquidation or wind down of business.
In addition, we may share non-personally identifiable Site usage information (including aggregate data) with others, for their own use, in a form that does not include your name or contact information. The third parties that support our website analytics tools may be able to access and use your Site usage information.
When do third-party privacy policies come into play?
We maintain a presence on several social media platforms and we may also incorporate some third-party social media features onto the Site. We may also include tools on the Site that allow you to share and/or publicly post content or information from the Site to your profile on a third-party social media platform. Third-party social media platforms have their own privacy policies which explain how they will use, protect and share your information, including any information you share on those platforms from the Site, and we encourage you to read them.
Our Site may contain links or banners that lead to other websites, including to personal blogs, tweets, and other social media content written or edited by members of our staff, and these sites or entities may collect Personal Data from you. We have no control over, do not review, and are not responsible for these other sites or their content, and so their privacy policies (not this Privacy Policy) will govern the collection and use of your information on them. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of such websites to understand how your information is treated. The links to third party websites or locations are for your convenience and do not signify our endorsement of such third parties or their products, content or websites.
How long do we retain/keep your information?
We would only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
