Clinical Trial Media, Inc. (“CTM”)

Privacy Policy

Effective April 16, 2026 (reviewed 04/16/2026)

INTRODUCTION

CTM is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy.

This privacy policy sets out how we look after your personal data, how we will use your personal data, and tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

This privacy policy sets out our approach to protecting personal data on a worldwide basis and we recognize that different jurisdictions and legal systems will apply:

In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction over our compliance regarding personal data. For California residents, our compliance is governed by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Similar state laws may apply to residents of other states. If you do not agree to the terms of this privacy policy, you may not access or use any CTM website or service.
In the rest of the world, different legal rules apply and, in particular, we will be using and protecting personal data in a way which is in accordance with the rules operating in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) which has adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the United Kingdom (“UK”) which has adopted its own version of the GDPR. In the EEA or UK, the relevant national supervisory authority will have jurisdiction over our compliance in the relevant country. If you do not agree to the terms of this privacy policy, you may not access or use any CTM website or service.

1.5 THIRD-PARTY LINKS

This website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

2. THE DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

“Personal data,” or “personal information,” means any information related to an identified or identifiable natural person. It does not, however, include data where the identity has been removed (“anonymized data”).

We may collect, use, store and transfer different categories of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

Identity Data includes first name, maiden name, last name, username or similar identifier, date of birth, and gender.
Contact Data includes billing address, delivery address, email address and telephone numbers.
Financial Data includes banking details of clients, suppliers, and agents for the making of payments by us and to us in relation to the services we provide.
Transaction Data includes details of products and services you have received or purchased from us and/or affiliates.
Technical Data includes internet protocol (“IP”) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.

We may also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as general statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

2.1 IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with our services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

3. HOW YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS COLLECTED

We use different methods to collect the categories of data described above from and about you including through:

Direct interactions. You may give us your personal data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by mail, phone, and email, or otherwise. This includes personal data you provide when you:

- request marketing material to be sent to you.
Automated technologies or interactions. As you interact with our website, we may automatically collect Technical Data about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns.

This aggregate data gives a “macro-view” of the visitor traffic pattern and insight to what sections of the website users visits most. We use this information to determine what kind of technology is available on the visitors’ computers so it can better serve them by utilizing more advanced technologies (e.g., Macromedia Flash). None of this information is linked to any Personal Information.

Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you, or to perform other legal obligations.
Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests (this applies in the EEA and UK).

4.2 DISCLOSING INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

We generally do not share your personal clinical data with any company outside CTM except for our trusted clients and service providers, as well as prospective clinical trial sites, where needed for investigations and trials. Where data is shared with prospective clinical trial sites, it may be done to further our own or our client’s interests, and not necessarily on behalf of the clinical trial sites as their Business Associate. For questions about data shared with a prospective clinical trial site, and why that data is shared, contact us at privacy@clinicaltrialmedia.com.

We do not sell your personal data or your sensitive personal information, nor do we share it with third parties for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table in section 4.1 above.

Third-party sub-contractors who provide services for us and/or help to provide services to you. In the event that we use sub-contractors who have access to your personal data, we ensure that there are strict contractual terms in place to ensure that they only process personal data to the extent that we instruct them to do so in writing and there are suitably worded confidentiality and data protection clauses in all such contracts. These third-parties are also contractually required to comply with all applicable laws and requirements, including Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards if they are processing payments.
Third-party prospective clinical trial sites who are performing clinical trials and may evaluate your eligibility to participate in a clinical trial.
Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change of control arises in relation to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.
We may disclose personal information to law enforcement, government authorities or otherwise in response to legal subpoenas or process as required by applicable law or in circumstances involving the possibility of physical or financial harm, fraud, or crime.

We do not sell your personal data to any third party. Our use and disclosure of Personal Identifiable Health Information (“PHI”) is limited to the minimum amount of personal data needed to accomplish the intended purpose of the specific clinical investigation or clinical trial activities. This includes using study questionnaires that only ask health and medical related questions that are directly associated with the relevant clinical research project as specified in approved protocols. This may also include using provided medical records and laboratory testing results.

PHI will generally not be used by us or disclosed by us to any third parties unless we have clear consent and/or authorization from you to do so.

Exceptionally, PHI may be disclosed by us where we are required to do so by a relevant law or regulation. This will include use and/or disclosure in order to:

prevent or control disease, injury or disability;
report disease, injury or disability;
assist public health surveillance, investigations or interventions;
report child abuse or neglect or domestic violence;
avert a serious threat to individual(s) or public health or safety;
to coroners and/or medical examiners or for tissue donation;
in response to legal proceedings and relevant court orders or subpoenas;
for specialized government functions and worker’s compensation;
by workforce members who are whistle-blowers or victims of a criminal act; or
when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or to protect your safety, the safety of others or investigate fraud.

4.3 OPTING OUT

We also provide visitors to our website the opportunity to opt-in to receive email communications from us. In this case, we ask the visitor for his or her email address and name. These communications will include our promotions and any other information that we feel may be pertinent to the visitor. You may opt out of receiving any, or all, of these communications by contacting us, by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in any email we send to you, by replying to any email we send you and entering the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line.

This Privacy Policy describes how we may share your information for marketing purposes, as described above. If you are a California resident, you have the right to request and obtain from us once per calendar year information about any of your Personal Information shared with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes, including the categories of information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we have shared such information. To request this information and for any other questions about our privacy practices and compliance with California law, you may submit a privacy rights request by visiting the CTM Your Privacy Choices webform. You may also submit a request by email to: privacy@clinicaltrialmedia.com.

Visitors may opt in to receive text messages (SMS/MMS) to your mobile number. Such messages may include information about upcoming clinical trials, real-time texts to ask and answer questions about a clinical research program, and your possible eligibility. Message frequency will vary depending on the conversation, and you can opt-out of this service at any time by texting “STOP” to the phone number. If you are experiencing any issues with this service, you can reply by texting “HELP” or emailing us at privacy@clinicaltrialmedia.com. Message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us, and to us from you. If you have questions about your text plan or data plan, please contact your wireless provider.

Where you opt out of receiving email or text information/reminder messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us to enable us to provide you with a product or service, warranty registration, product/service experience or other transactions.

4.4 COOKIES

We only use cookies to record user-specific information on what pages users’ access or visit, record past activity, and session management and personalization. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that we may use for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, to display information more effectively, and to personalize your experience. We also gather statistical information about use of our products/services in order to continually improve their design and functionality, understand how they are used, and assist us with resolving questions about them. Web beacons (also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”) are electronic images that may be used in our products/services or emails to help deliver cookies, count visits, track your actions on our products/services and communications, compile statistics about the use and response rates of our products/services and communications, and understand usage and campaign effectiveness. Use of cookies and similar technologies allows a better user experience when visitors return to the website.

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

4.4.1 Cookie Control. CTM’s interactive cookie statement clearly states how the user’s behavior is tracked and offers easy-to-use controls for granting and revoking consent. The user has the control to prevent cookies from being placed on their computer until consent via an affirmative act.

4.5 CHANGE OF PURPOSE

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

4.6 USE OF HEALTH DATA IN THE UNITED STATES

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and subsequent regulations published by the Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”) impose restrictions on other organizations (Covered Entities and Business Associates).

CTM is not a Covered Entity nor a Business Associate as defined in the HIPAA regulations, but our policies and procedures, which govern the privacy rights of research participants included in this privacy policy, are in alignment with those required by the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule for Business Associates, to the extent applicable to CTM’s services and offerings.

All PHI data collected by CTM in connection with clinical trial activities on behalf of the Sponsor is captured electronically and transmitted through a secure network connection to a secure database, and is collected pursuant to a qualifying HIPAA authorization or a waiver of HIPAA authorization as permitted by an Institutional Review Board, if required.

CTM’s data security policies are consistent with Good Clinical Practices, HIPAA and GDPR standards. CTM maintains separate Security Policies for Physical Security, Network Security and Application Security.

5. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Some personal data may be held on servers in the US. This will involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the UK. In addition, we use third parties who have IT servers located in the United States which hold your personal data. You consent to the transfer of your personal information to the United States.

Whenever we transfer and/or process your personal data outside of the EEA or UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by using specific contracts approved by the European Commission (or UK ICO) which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

6. DATA SECURITY

We and our third party hosting partners have put in place reasonable security measures intended to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we have implemented measures to limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data per our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

7. DATA RETENTION

We will 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.

In some circumstances in the EEA and UK you can ask us to delete your data: see the section below entitled “Your Data Privacy Rights Under GDPR and UK Privacy Law” for further information.

We may also anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

8. YOUR DATA PRIVACY RIGHTS UNDER GDPR AND UK PRIVACY LAW

Under certain circumstances in the EEA and UK, you have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data:

Right to be informed about how we process your personal data. You also have the right to be informed if we plan to process your personal data for any purpose other than that for which it was originally collected.

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be identified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Right to rectify inaccurate information, and that we complete information about you that you consider incomplete.

Request the transfer (“data portability”) of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.

In the EEA, you have the right to make a complaint at any time to the relevant national supervisory authority. For example, in the UK this would be the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to understand and address your concerns so please contact us in the first instance.

A list of Supervisory Authorities is available here: https://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.

8.1 NO FEE USUALLY REQUIRED

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data or to exercise any of the other rights.

8.2 WHAT WE MAY NEED FROM YOU

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

8.3 TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within 30 business days. Occasionally it may take us longer than 30 business days if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

9. YOUR US STATE PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are a resident of California or other applicable US states, you have the following rights with respect to your Personal Information:

The right to know what Personal Information we have collected, used, disclosed and sold about you.
The right to request that we delete any Personal Information we have collected about you.
The right to correct inaccuracies in your Personal Information, taking into account the nature of the Personal Information and the purposes of the processing.
The right to opt-out of sale or sharing for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising purposes.
You have the right, at any time, to request that we not use your Sensitive Personal Information or disclose it for advertising and marketing purposes. Once we receive and verify your request, we will no longer use or share your Personal Information for advertising or marketing purposes.

For the 12-month period prior to the date of this Privacy Policy, CTM has not sold any Personal Information collected about you; nor does it have any plans to do so in the future. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information, as defined in applicable laws, for any purposes other than those permitted by applicable law and/or disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

How to Exercise Your Rights

You may submit a privacy rights request by visiting the CTM Your Privacy Choices webform.

You may also submit a request by email to: privacy@clinicaltrialmedia.com.

Only you, or a person legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request related to your personal information. You may also make a request on behalf of your minor child. You may only make a request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.

Your request must (1) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, and (2) describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identify or authority to make the request and confirm the requested personal information relates to you. Making a request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a request to verify the requester’s identity or authority to make the request.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of the request.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. Unless permitted by applicable law, we will not deny you services, charge you different rates for services, provide you with a different level or quality of services, or suggest that you may receive a different rate for services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

10. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The Website is not intended for, and should not be used by, children under the age of 13. CTM does not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe that a child has provided personal data to us, please contact the CTM promptly as described above, and we will endeavor to investigate and delete such information from our systems.

11. DO NOT TRACK

CTM’s website recognizes the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. This signal allows you to set your cookie preferences from your browser (or an extension on your browser), and these preferences will be respected across the websites you visit that recognize the signal. You can learn more about the GPC signal at https://globalprivacycontrol.org.
