Sources of personal information

You may provide personal information to us directly or via our service providers.

• We may share your personal information with:
• our subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under a common control (“Affiliates”), in which case we will require our Affiliates to honor this Privacy Notice;
• our service providers under appropriate contractual restrictions;
• companies or individuals who advise us in the course of running our business;
• third parties in connection with or during negotiation of any merger, financing, acquisition or dissolution, transaction or proceeding involving sale, transfer, divestiture, or disclosure of all or a portion of our business or assets. In the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership, personal information may also be transferred as a business asset. If another company acquires our company, business or assets, that company will possess the personal information collected by us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your personal information as described in this Notice;
• relevant authorities, or other recipients as required in litigation, if Caris believes in good faith that such disclosure is necessary (i) in connection with any legal investigation; (ii) to comply with relevant regulatory requirements and laws, such as laws requiring the disclosure of payments made to healthcare providers, (iii) to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on Caris; (iv) to protect or defend the rights or property of Caris; or (v) to investigate or assist in preventing any violation or potential violation of the law.

How long we retain personal information varies according to the type of information in question and the purpose for which it is used. Certain laws may require us to store personal information for specified periods. We delete personal information within a reasonable period after we no longer need to use it for the purpose for which it was collected or for any subsequent purpose that is compatible with the original purpose. This does not affect your right to request that we delete your personal information before the end of its retention period. We may archive personal information (which means storing it in inactive files) for a certain period prior to its final deletion, as part of our ordinary business continuity procedures.

We do not knowingly collect information about children (anyone under 18), except in connection with pediatric medical services, which, as explained above, are not subject to this Notice. If any parent or guardian of a child believes that we have personal information about that child that is not related to the child’s participation in one of our clinical studies, please contact us through one of the means below.
