Privacy Policy

GENOMYCO LTD (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) develops novel antifungal solutions using fungal genomics. We are committed to protecting your privacy rights and ensuring our practices regarding the collection and processing of Personal Data (as defined below) are transparent and fair.

This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) was designed to help you better understand our practices regarding the collection, storage, use, sharing, and any other processing of Personal Data. This Policy applies whenever you visit our Website, including any other domains or subdomains owned and operated by us, or otherwise access or interact with any other services, features or platforms we operate (collectively, the “Services”). This Policy is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Service.

Please note that certain provisions of this Policy may not be applicable to you, depending on your jurisdiction and the applicable laws.

We strongly urge you to read this Policy and ensure you fully understand and agree to it. By using the Services, you signify your acceptance of this Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not use our Services. You are not legally required to provide us with any Personal Data, but without it we will not be able to provide you with the full range or with the best experience of using our Services.

“Personal Data” (also referred to as “Personal Information” under US Privacy Laws) refers to any information that can directly or indirectly identify an individual, or that could be used to identify an individual with reasonable effort. Examples of Personal Data include, but are not limited to, a person's name, date of birth, contact details such as email address or phone number, and online identifiers such as IP addresses or user IDs.

“Non-Personal Data” refers to information that is aggregated or anonymized such that it does not reveal, and cannot reasonably be used to reveal, the identity of any individual. We do not know the identity of the individual from whom Non-Personal Data is collected. Non-Personal Data may include aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device, such as browser type and version, operating system type and version, mobile network details, device settings, and software-related information. For the avoidance of doubt, any Non-Personal Data that is connected or linked to Personal Data shall be considered Personal Data for as long as such connection or linkage exists.

Subject to what is stated below, we do not knowingly collect or process any Personal Data constituting or revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data, data concerning a person's health, government identifiers, precise geo-location or data concerning a person's sex life or sexual orientation (“Special Categories of Personal Data”).

This section explains for what purposes we use your Personal Data and, where applicable, outlines the legal bases that underlie our usage.

Where applicable, the following describes the specific purposes for which you have voluntarily provided your Personal Data and in respect of which you have not indicated an objection to, or withdrawal of consent for, our use of such Personal Data, as recognized under applicable law. Where you wish to indicate such objection or otherwise withdraw your consent to such use, please refer to Section 6 (“Your rights”) for information on how you may exercise this right at any time.

We may collect different categories of Personal Data and Non-Personal Data from you, depending on the nature of your interaction with the Services, as detailed above.

We reserve the right to use, disclose or transfer (for business purposes or otherwise) aggregated and processed Non-Personal Data to third parties, including, inter alia, affiliates, for various purposes including commercial use. This information may be collected, processed and analyzed by us and transferred in a combined, collectively and aggregated manner (i.e., your information is immediately aggregated with other users) to third parties.

When we share information with service providers, we ensure they only have access to such information that is strictly necessary for us to provide the Services. These parties are required to secure the data they receive and to use the data for pre-agreed purposes only while ensuring compliance with all applicable data protection regulations (such service providers may use other Non-Personal Data for their own benefit).

When you visit or access our Website we use (and authorize 3rd parties to use) pixels, beacons, local storage, cookies, and similar technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”). These allow us to automatically collect information about you, your device and your online behavior, in order to enhance your navigation in our Services, improve performance, perform analytics and customize your experience. In addition, we may merge data we have with data collected through these Tracking Technologies and data we may obtain from other sources and, as a result, such data may become Personal Data.

What types of Tracking Technologies do we use?

We store first-party and third-party Tracking Technologies when you visit or access our Services. These Tracking Technologies may be stored for the duration of your visit on our Services or for repeat visits.

We use the following categories of Tracking Technologies:

• Strictly Necessary – These Tracking Technologies are automatically placed on your device when you access our Services. They are essential to enable you to log in, navigate around and use the features of our Services. We do not need to obtain your consent to use these Tracking Technologies.
• Functionality – These Tracking Technologies allow our Services to remember choices you make and provide enhanced and personalized features. For example, they are used for authentication and support other features of our Services.
• Performance and Analytics – These Tracking Technologies collect information about your online activity (for example the duration of your visit on our Services). They are used for analytics, research and statistical purposes (based on aggregated information). Our Website and Services use analytics tools, including Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”) which is based on Tracking Technologies. The information generated by these Tracking Technologies is usually sent to and stored on Google server in the USA. On behalf of the Company, Google will use the generated information to evaluate your use of the Website and the Services, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide the website operator with additional services connected with website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in connection with Google Analytics is not collated with other data by Google. We use the information we get from Google to maintain and improve our Website and Services. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google with Personal Data we collect. We may add or remove analytic tools at any time.
• Social Media and Similar – These Tracking Technologies include social media features, such as third-party log-in services. They may be hosted by a third-party or directly on our Services. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy statement of the company providing them.

How can you control Tracking Technologies?

Except for Strictly Necessary Tracking Technologies, you can always withdraw your consent to non-essential ones through your web browser or device settings, usually found in the ‘Options’ or ‘Preferences’ menu of your browser.

Any such changes may require you to manually adjust preferences each time you visit a site, and some services or functionalities may not work. If you reject Tracking Technologies through your browser, you may still use the Website and Services, but some features may be limited.

Do-Not-Track (DNT) Signals

Cal. Bus. and Prof. Code Section 22575 requires us to notify you about how we handle “Do Not Track” settings in your browser. As of the effective date listed above, there is no commonly accepted response for Do Not Track signals initiated by browsers, therefore, we do not respond to them. Do Not Track is a privacy preference you can set in your web browser to indicate that you do not want certain information about your web page visits tracked and collected across websites.

We will take all steps necessary to ensure that your Personal Data is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy, however, please note that the transmission of Personal Data via the internet is not completely secure. We cannot guarantee that the information will not be compromised as a result of unauthorized penetration to our servers.
