This privacy notice covers how and why we collect and use Personal Data about you, through our provisions of Services.
When we use the term “Personal Data,” we mean data that reasonably can be used to identify a person or that reasonably relates to a living person (a “Data Subject”).
When we use the term “Services”, we mean to refer collectively to:
- The website Novavax.com and any other website or mobile application that is owned and controlled by us that link to this privacy notice (“Sites”).
Cookie Policy We collect certain information, which may include Personal Data, from visitors in order for the Sites to function and in order to enable requested functions and respond to direct requests by the visitor.
Other cookies and tracking technologies may also be used to collect Personal Data should you give your specific consent, with the purpose(s) of analyzing the use of our Sites and to make our marketing material more relevant to you. This information may include the websites and mobile applications that you access immediately before and after your visit to the Sites and which Internet browser or mobile service provider you are using. Please see our separate Cookies Policy to learn about how we use Cookies on the Sites and your choices in relation to the use of Cookies.
- Prospective research and employee application processes (“Application Activities”)
While considering applications for employment, including evaluating and confirming your suitability for a position and the accuracy of any information submitted, we may make our own inquiries to verify or add to information you provide us during the course of Application Activities. Personal data may include background data including, when allowed by law and relevant to the position, information on criminal history/unlawful conduct; professional and employment information including CV/resume details, professional and academic history, credentials, designations, licenses and personnel files.
- Our marketing and business development activities, including events we host (such as webinars) and social media properties we operate (“Marketing Activities”).
For managing, operating, developing and growing our business, and administering the Services, including through the use of third party service providers and business partners, we process Personal Data about name, attendance, profession, email address, and telephone number, as communicated before and during the Marketing Activity. We also collect relevant Personal Data when you voluntarily submit information, when you register with us to receive information about clinical trials or other research studies, when you register for events such as webinars, trainings, lectures, seminars, or workshops, when you submit a grant request, when you request to receive financial updates about Novavax’ business, or when you apply for a job, send us an email or other correspondence, or complete a form in connection with our Services.
Publicly Available Sources including from social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other publicly available databases may be used when relevant to the purpose for which the information was first shared through those platforms.
We may also process Personal Data for the purpose(s) of developing and maintaining relationships with health care professionals, investigators, researcher, patients and caregivers; for notifying related parties regarding Novavax financial information; for communicating with you to respond to your inquiries and to provide technical or administrative support; or for investigating and resolving disputes and security issues and enforcing our Terms and Conditions. We may process Personal Data with the purpose of preventing, investigating or providing notice of fraud: unlawful or criminal activity; unauthorized access to our use of Personal Data, the website or our data systems; to meet legal, regulatory, judicial and company policy obligations; or for other lawful and legitimate purposes that are communicated to you through other means than this Policy.
Because Novavax wants to make sure you are provided all relevant information without risking information fatigue, we may provide additional privacy notices to you at the time we collect your data. For example, we often provide a specific privacy notice to participants in research studies or clinical trials (collectively, “Research”) during the informed consent process that describes our privacy practices in connection with conducting Research. This type of an “in-time” notice will govern how we may process the information you provide at that time instead of this privacy notice.
The Data Subjects ("you") from whom we receive Personal Data from in providing the Services are:
- Physicians and other healthcare professionals;
- Clinical trial investigators;
- Potential investors in Novavax;
- Prospective and participating research participants;
- Service providers, contractors and consultants;
- Job applicants; Volunteers; and
- Other individuals who interact directly with Novavax or its business partners.
