This Privacy Policy tells you how Emergence AS handles and protects the privacy of personal information that you may provide us.
Summary
Emergence AS collects anonymous computer information to be able to provide our main service; www.inform.life (“the Site”). We collect personally identifiable information from you when you register as a user, and submit a contact form for trial participation. Your personally identifiable information is kept confidential and will never be disclosed unless we are required to do so by law, or because you explicitly ask us to when contacting a clinical trial through our contact form. We do not share your personal identifiable information with any other than the referred clinical trial site (hospital).
Inform Life is a service for patients and healthcare personnel which we offer completely free to use for anyone aiming to find and stay updated on available clinical trials. To do so, Inform Life creates revenue through personalized and contextualized advertising towards our users on the platform. We aim to advertise as relevant as possible, and in a fashion which does not disturb our users when looking for a clinical trial. If, however, this is in any way disturbing to you as a user, the advertisement and/ or email exchange can be switched off for each search, each trial, or completely switched off in the “personal settings” section. To us, the overarching goal is to help you find a clinical trial for your situation.
All information collected from your platform behavior may be used and shared with third parties on an anonymous and aggregated basis only. Your identifiable information is not sold nor made available to third parties. Your personally identifiable information is stored in our databases and will not leave our databases except if we refer you to a clinical trial upon your request. You can access, modify, or permanently delete your records at any time by sending a request for such information/ delation to our Data Protection Officer at dpo(at)inform.life.
Emergence AS does not exchange personally identifiable information through/via social media – nor do we sell or share your personally identifiable information with anyone.
Please note that your relationship with Meta/ Facebook, Google or any other third party website or social media is governed solely by your agreement with such third-parties.

You can freely visit our web page without telling us who you are. However, inquiring for the clinical trial, you can be required to provide your personal details. This allows us to process your request and establish contact with our nearest clinical trial site to perform screening for eligibility.
