Purposes of Personal Data Processing
Unless the purposes for collecting Personal Data are obvious and a person voluntarily provides his or her Personal Data for those purposes, Congruence Therapeutics will communicate about the purposes for which it collects and use Personal Data, the third parties to which Congruence Therapeutics may disclose such data, the choices and means, if any, Congruence Therapeutics offers individuals for limiting the use and disclosure of their own Personal Data, and how to contact Congruence Therapeutics with any concerns.

This site is owned and operated by Congruence Therapeutics in Canada and USA, but the Personal Data you provide will be accessible to our affiliates and may also be shared with third parties. These third parties may include (i) external third party outsourced service providers, vendors or business partners that assist us in carrying out our business activities (“third party agents”) and (ii) other unaffiliated third parties which do not act as agents or service providers and are not performing functions on our behalf (e.g. purchasers and prospective purchasers or other parties in any proposed reorganization, sale, joint-venture, merger, transfer or other transaction relating to our business, assets, companies or stock).
Congruence Therapeutics will release the minimal amount of data that is necessary for these third parties to perform their contractual obligations and Congruence Therapeutics shall obtain assurances in writing that they will safeguard Personal Data and provide the same level of protection for Personal Data Congruence Therapeutics Privacy Policy and applicable law require. Congruence Therapeutics takes reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that third-party agents process Personal Data in accordance with its Privacy Policy and to stop and remediate any authorized processing.

Upon request, Congruence Therapeutics will grant You reasonable access to your Personal Data that it holds about You and take reasonable steps to permit You to correct, amend, restrict, object, or delete data that is demonstrated to be inaccurate or incomplete or no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected. These access rights may not apply in some cases including where providing access is unreasonably burdensome or expensive under the circumstances or where it would violate the rights of someone other than the individual requesting access.
Retaining Personal Data
