Privacy Policy for Participant Users

Intro/Scope

AKT HEALTH ANALYTICS PVT LTD. (“Company” “we,” “our,” and/or “us”) values the privacy of individuals who use our websites and related services (collectively, our “Services”). This participant privacy policy (the “Participant Privacy Policy”) explains how we collect, use, and share information from users of our Services who are potential or current participants in a clinical trial that uses our Services (“Participant Users”). This Participant Privacy Policy does not apply to individuals who are accessing our marketing website (“Individual Users”), or the personnel of our customers who create accounts to access our clinical trial administration services (“Customer Users”). The terms for Individual Users and Customer Users are covered in a separate “Privacy Policy” (https://akthealth.com/privacy-policy/). If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United Kingdom or Australia, “information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. By using our Services, you agree to the collection, use, disclosure, and procedures this Privacy Policy describes. Beyond the Privacy Policy, your use of our Services is also subject to our Terms of Service (akthealth.com/terms-of-service/).

You may withdraw any consent you previously provided to us regarding the processing of your information, at any time and free of charge. We will apply your preferences going forward and this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before you withdrew your consent.

Before meeting your request, we may ask you to provide reasonable information to verify your identity. Please note that there are exceptions and limitations to each of these rights, and that while any changes you make will be reflected in active user databases instantly or within a reasonable period of time, we may retain information for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, satisfaction of legal obligations, or where we otherwise reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so.
