Data Security

We have implemented technical and organizational measures in an effort to safeguard the Personal Data in our custody and control. Such measures include:

restricting access to Personal Data to staff, affiliates, and service providers on a need-to-know basis; and
implemented policies and procedures for deploying, managing, and securing Inflammatix’s information technology infrastructure.

While we endeavor to always protect our systems, sites, operations, and information against unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle and other risk factors, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission or while stored on our systems, will be safe from intrusion by others.

You should not share any username, password, or other authentication data provided to you with anyone, and we recommend that you do not re-use passwords across more than one website or application.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

We transfer Personal Data across borders as necessary for the purposes described, including to jurisdictions that may not offer the same level of data protection as your home country. You retain your data protection rights across all international transfers and can exercise these rights as outlined in our Data Subject Rights section. Our sites are primarily hosted on servers in the United States, and we may transfer data to other jurisdictions as required for our operations.

For transfers originating from the EEA to the United States and other non-EEA jurisdictions, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, among other mechanisms, to ensure the protection of your Personal Data. We also implement additional safeguards, such as encryption and regular security assessments, to protect your data during and after transfer.

We are committed to assessing the adequacy of protection in third countries and adapting our practices to maintain compliance with EEA standards. You retain your rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to access copies of the data transfer mechanisms we use.

Please get in touch with us directly if you have any inquiries about our data transfer practices or the protections we have in place. We are dedicated to transparency and protecting your Personal Data across borders.
