Your Privacy; Consent
 

Alpha Tau Medical Ltd. (together with its affiliates, hereinafter, we,” “us,” or “Alpha Tau” is a clinical-stage company which focuses on the research, development, and potential commercialization of proprietary technology for the treatment of cancer. In order to fulfill our business purpose, we rely upon data pertaining to patients for populating our clinical trials, and we also seek and maintain information pertaining to individuals for research and business collaborations. We are deeply committed to protecting users’ privacy and personal information which we may receive: from use of our website, in connection with our clinical trial program, or for any other lawful business use. As such, we wish to make you (“users” or “you”) fully aware of how we use and process your information in this privacy policy. By voluntarily providing us with personal information (for example: e-mail address, contact information, and health data) either through our website (the “Site”) or through any other means for a legitimate purpose, you hereby consent to the collection, processing, transfer and use of such information by Alpha Tau pursuant to the terms herein. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that you are not required to provide us with personal information, including by means of responding to our questionnaires, and that any such information has been given of your free will. Any changes or updates to these terms shall be posted on the Site so as to maintain full transparency and access to our privacy policy. If you do not agree with these terms or any changes, then please discontinue your use of the Site and do not provide us with your personal information. The Site is managed by Wix, which provides information about its privacy policy at https://www.wix.com/about/privacy.

 

How We Collect, Use and Share Your Information

​

In the course of populating our clinical trials with suitable patients who meet the various eligibility criteria of a given study, we may ask specific, personal, medical questions relating to an individual’s cancer diagnosis. In doing so, we use a system for compiling information called Jotform, which undertakes to protect users’ privacy in its privacy policy at https://www.jotform.com/privacy/. We may also seek, with your explicit consent, personal contact information in order to follow up with respect to your eligibility as a clinical trial candidate to ask additional qualifying questions and to coordinate subsequent steps towards participation in the trial, if applicable. You may also provide such personal health and contact information at your own discretion, including by means of email, telephone or by contacting us through the Site. Transcripts and recordings of phone calls to determine eligibility and for additional follow-up are managed by Intermedia.net Inc, which represents that its “services are designed to meet the privacy and security requirements for Protected Health Information (PHI)” whose “policies, procedures, technologies and services are audited by a third-party to validate conformance with HIPAA privacy and security requirements”. Such transcripts and recordings may be accessed for an indefinite duration of time by select members of our team for quality assurance and other legitimate business purposes.

​

You may voluntarily sign up to our mailing list to be notified about future trials by clicking on the button “Subscribe to our Newsletter” on https://www.alphatau.com/news. The subscription is operated by a marketing platform, MailChimp, which undertakes to be GDPR compliant at https://mailchimp.com/gdpr/. For this service, upon receiving your explicit consent, we will obtain your e-mail address, your first name and your last name (not required), which we use only for the purpose of sending you the information you requested or other news items pertaining to Alpha Tau from time to time. You may of course be able to unsubscribe from such mailing list at any time, either by clicking on the unsubscribe link included in all newsletters, or by contacting us at https://www.alphatau.com/contact.

​

All data collected by Alpha Tau for the purpose of performing clinical trials or for communicating with people who express interest in Alpha Tau is processed internally. More specifically, access to such information is strictly limited to select Alpha Tau team members, and is furthermore strictly limited for the legitimate purposes set forth in this policy. In the event a user might participate in a clinical trial, then we will share the user’s personal health information which was provided in response to our questionnaires only with the relevant medical institutions which are conducting the clinical trials. We may also share such data with a contract research organization (CRO) which provides support in conducting the trial, but we will not make any use of such user’s data during the course of a trial, in order to maintain the user’s privacy, and in order to uphold the international standards of Good Clinical Practice (GCP). When we do share information with these healthcare professionals and CROs, they may provide users with an information leaflet containing an informed consent form which sets out the required information about the clinical trial and a separate privacy notice detailing how they will use their information, and may otherwise contact users directly for the legitimate purpose of clinical trial participation. Please note that Alpha Tau does not control who will ultimately participate in a clinical trial. Additionally, we may share your data only where necessary for us to comply with any legal obligations to which we are subject, to exercise our legal rights, or to protect ourselves or any other person when reasonably required. Alpha Tau does not sell, trade or rent your personal information to any third party.

​

We will also use and store your data for the purpose of analytics and optimization of our outreach, but we strive to ensure that this is done on an anonymized basis and that it is performed by a limited team. Our cyber and privacy team routinely meet and perform audits of the relevant team members’ practices and devices.

​

With respect to users who are potential or actual business or research partners, we may store your personal contact information regardless of whether a collaboration is pursued or completed.  In any event, we shall only store your information when so justified on a lawful basis. More specifically, we may retain your contact and personal information for a reasonable period and may contact you in the event of future clinical trial, treatment or collaboration opportunities which may be relevant based upon your previous correspondences.
