Last Updated: March 22, 2024

This Privacy Policy describes how Q32 Bio, Inc. (“Q32 Bio”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) handles personal information that we collect from individuals visiting the Q32 Bio website.

This Privacy Policy only applies to personal information collected via the website or via an inquiry to one of the email addresses listed on the website. If you provide personal information to us through some other means, such as in connection with a clinical study sponsored by Q32 Bio, you will be provided with a separate notice about the collection, use, and transfer of your personal information. In that case, if you have any concerns about our processing of your personal information, please refer to that separate notice.

Personal information we collect

Information you submit to us:

  • Contact information, including name, job title, employer/company name, mailing address, email address, telephone number.
  • Communications that we exchange with you, including when you contact us with questions, feedback, or otherwise.
  • Other data not specifically listed here, which we will use as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.

Automatic data collection. We and our service providers may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interactions over time with our website, such as your computer’s or mobile device’s operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, RAM and disk size, CPU usage, device type (e.g., phone, tablet), IP address, unique identifiers, language settings, mobile device carrier, radio/network information (e.g., WiFi, LTE, 4G), and general location information such as city, state or geographic area.

How we use your personal information

Provide website functionality. We use your information to allow you to use our website and to otherwise operate, maintain, and provide you with website functionality.

Communicate with you, including to respond to your requests, send announcements, updates, security alerts and support and administrative messages.

For research and development. We may use your personal information for research and development purposes, including to analyze and improve our website and our business. As part of these activities, we may create aggregated, de-identified, or other anonymous data from personal information we collect. We make personal information into anonymous data by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We may use this anonymous data and disclose it to third parties for our lawful business purposes, including to analyze and improve our website and promote our business.

Compliance and protection. We may use personal information to:

  • Comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal process, such as to respond to subpoenas or requests from government authorities.
  • Protect our, your or others’ rights, privacy, safety or property (including by making and defending legal claims).
  • Audit our internal processes for compliance with legal and contractual requirements and internal policies.
  • Enforce the terms and conditions that govern our website.
  • Prevent, identify, investigate and deter fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical or illegal activity, including cyberattacks and identity theft.

How we disclose your personal information

Affiliates. We may disclose your personal information to our corporate parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates, for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Service providers. We may disclose your personal information to third party companies and individuals that provide services on our behalf or help us operate our website (such as lawyers, bankers, auditors, insurers, customer support, hosting, and database management).

Authorities and others. We may disclose your personal information to law enforcement, government authorities, and private parties, as we believe in good faith to be necessary or appropriate for the compliance and protection purposes described above.

Business transfers. We may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our business or assets, including your personal information, in connection with a business transaction (or potential business transaction) such as a corporate divestiture, merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy or dissolution. In such a case, we will make reasonable efforts to require the recipient to honor this Privacy Policy.

Do not track

Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. We currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” or similar signals. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit www.allaboutdnt.com.

Job applicants

When you apply for one of our open positions, we collect the information that you provide in connection with your job application. This includes, but is not limited to, business and personal contact information, professional credentials and skills, educational and work history, and other information that may be included in a resume or that you may provide during the interview process. This may also include demographic or diversity information that you voluntarily provide. We may also conduct background checks and receive related information. We also collect personal information from other sources where relevant for your application, such as employment research firms, recruiters, identity verification services, and information that you make publicly available on websites or social media platforms (for example, LinkedIn). Throughout the recruitment process, we may supplement your personal information in connection with the assessment of your application. For example, we may record the views of those considering your application about your suitability for the role for which you have applied and retain interview notes. If you accept an offer from us, your personal information will be incorporated into and used as part of your employee record.

We use applicants’ information to facilitate our recruitment activities, process employment applications and personalize candidate communication, including evaluating candidates and monitoring recruitment statistics. We also use successful applicants’ information to administer the employment relationship. We may also use and disclose applicants’ information for the compliance and protection purposes described above.

Other sites, mobile applications and services

Our website may contain links to other websites, mobile applications, and other online services operated by third parties. These links are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. In addition, our content may be included on web pages or in mobile applications or online services that are not associated with us. We do not control third party websites, mobile applications or online services, and we are not responsible for their actions. Other websites and services follow different rules regarding the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites and mobile applications and online services you use.

Security

We employ a number of technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, no security measures are failsafe and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

Children

Our website is not intended for use by children under 13 years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal information through the website from a child under 13 without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian as required by law, we will delete it.
