Prime Therapeutics – Privacy Notice for California Residents

Last updated: January 1, 2021

Prime Therapeutics LLC (“Prime,” “we,” or “us”) understands the importance of your privacy and takes our responsibility to protect your information seriously. To that end, this privacy notice (the “Notice”) provides information regarding the categories of information we collect from California residents, how we use and share that information, and certain rights and obligations relating to that information, as required by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”). This Notice applies to the personal information we collect from California residents that use our websites—primetherapeutics.com and myprime.com—including applicants for job openings with Prime.

Please note that this Notice is a supplement to our Privacy Policy, which can be viewed here. We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy.

Your Rights Under the CCPA

The CCPA provides California residents with the rights discussed below. For convenience, and as required by the CCPA, we explain how you can exercise those rights, to the extent they are applicable.

Right to Request Access Information. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information about our collection and use of your personal information during the past 12 months. Specifically, you may request that we disclose:

o The categories of personal information we collected about you;

o The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you;

o The business and commercial purposes for collecting your personal information;

o The categories of third parties with whom we shared your personal information;

o The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you; and

o If we disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, the categories of personal information received by each category of third party.

Right to Data Portability. You have the right to request that we provide copies of the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you. If a verifiable consumer request is made, and subject to any exceptions or limitations under the CCPA, we will take steps to deliver the personal information to you either by mail or electronically. If we provide the information to you electronically, it will be in a portable and readily useable format, to the extent technically feasible.
Right to Request Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete personal information we collected from you, subject to any exceptions or limitations under the CCPA.

To exercise the rights described above, you—or someone authorized to act on your behalf—must submit a verifiable consumer request to us by filling out and submitting a request form here. Alternatively, you may call us at 888.849.7840 or submit a request via email to Privacy@primetherapeutics.com. Please be prepared to provide the information required in the request form, including your name, phone number, email address, physical address, and the nature of your relationship to Prime. If you are an authorized agent submitting a request on behalf of a consumer, we may request confirmation of your authorization, including a signed permission from the consumer. This information is necessary to reasonably verify that you are the individual regarding whom we collected the personal information or an authorized representative, and to ensure that we can understand and respond to your request. We reserve the right to request additional information as necessary to verify and act upon your request. You may only submit requests for access or data portability twice within any 12-month period. As indicated above, please be aware that the CCPA provides certain limitations and exception to the foregoing rights, which may result in us denying or limiting our response to your request.

The CCPA requires us to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days, but permits us to extend that period by an additional 45 days, provided we notify you of the reason for the extension in writing. We will endeavor to acknowledge our receipt of a consumer request within 10 days and, if applicable, provide information regarding how we will process the request. In general, we will not charge a fee to respond to a verifiable request, unless it is excessive, repetitive, or unfounded.

Our Commitment Not to Discriminate

If a California resident exercises the rights discussed above, consistent with the CCPA, we will not discriminate against that resident by denying goods or services, charging different prices or rates for goods or services, providing different levels or quality of goods or services, or suggesting that the resident will receive a different price, rate, or quality of goods or services.

Please note that we may change this Notice from time to time. We will post changes here and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document. Continued use of this website after any changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes. Please check this Notice periodically for updates.
