CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you reside in California, please read this section for additional details about how we may collect, use, and disclose information about you, as well as your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (or “CCPA”) (California Civil Code Section 1798.100 et seq.).

We may collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular person or device. Personal information does not include publicly available information from government records, de-identified or aggregated consumer information, and information excluded from the CCPA’s scope. For more information about the type of personal information we may have collected about you, please see the “PERSONAL DATA WE MAY COLLECT ABOUT YOU” section of this Policy. For more information about how we may use and share your information for business purposes, please see the “HOW WE MAY USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA” and “HOW WE MAY SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA” sections of this Policy. Please note that in the past 12 months, and currently, we do not sell your personal information.

The CCPA provides consumers (i.e., California residents) with specific rights (listed below and subsequently referred to as “California Privacy Rights”), subject to some limitations and the verification of their identity, regarding their personal information:

Consumers have the right to request access to the specific pieces of personal information we have collected, disclosed or sold about them in the last 12 months, including the categories of information, sources and business purposes of collection, as well as the categories of third parties to whom we have disclosed or shared the personal information.
Consumers have the right to request deletion of their personal information (subject to certain exceptions).
Consumers have the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information, though we do not sell personal information.
Consumers have the right to receive equal service and price and not be discriminated against for exercising their privacy rights under the CCPA.

In order for us to process a request for you to exercise your California Privacy Rights, we will first verify your identity. Please submit your requests by contacting us pursuant to the “HOW TO CONTACT US” section of this Policy.

You may designate an authorized agent to exercise your California Privacy Rights on your behalf in accordance with the CCPA. We may require that you provide the authorized agent with written permission to act on your behalf and that the authorized agent verify his or her identity directly with us. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request. When you submit a request to exercise your California Privacy Rights, we will do our best to respond to your request as soon as possible, and, in any event, in accordance with the timeframes established by the CCPA and its regulations.

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents who are individual customers of Kiniksa products to request certain information regarding its disclosure of personal data to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us as described under the heading “HOW TO CONTACT US”.

SUPPLEMENTAL EUROPEAN PRIVACY POLICY

Effective/Last Revised: July 10, 2020

European Union Regulation 2016/679 of April 27, 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (the “General Data Protection Regulation” or “GDPR”) requires Kiniksa as the data controller to provide additional and different information about its data processing practices to data subjects in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). If you are a data subject within the EEA, this Supplemental European Privacy Policy applies to you in addition to the provisions above.

HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to so. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

We need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
It is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
We need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
It is necessary for scientific research purposes.

We may also use your personal data in the following situations, which are likely to be rare:

We need to protect your interests (or someone else’s interests).
It is needed in the public interest or for official purposes.

We may also rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data in certain circumstances, like sending direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.

We have set out below, in a table format, a description of many of the ways we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

Note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us if you need additional details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data.

CLINICAL TRIAL DATA

We undertake studies within the EEA and we will use information from subjects’ medical records and other health data in order to improve healthcare. We may use third parties to perform some services related to our clinical trials, including operating a screening website to determine whether interested individuals are eligible to participate in a clinical study sponsored by Kiniksa. Whenever a person interested in participating in a clinical study uses one of these services, we will collect the necessary information after providing additional details about how we will process his/her data and obtain that person’s express consent, as necessary. A person can choose at any time not to provide the information requested by the screening website but this may prevent him/her from continuing to use these services.

If a person is determined to be eligible for a clinical study and decides to participate, important information (contained in what is known as an informed consent form) is reviewed with each patient by a study professional at the study site. Each patient must read and sign this informed consent form, which describes possible health risks and possible benefits of participating in the study, as well as what personal data will be collected in the study and who is able to use or disclose any personal information, before enrolling. Anyone can decline/unenroll to participate in a study at any time.

As a biopharmaceutical organisation we have a legitimate interest in using information relating to your health for research studies when you agree to take part in a research study. Our exception to the general principle not to process special categories of data is that processing is necessary for scientific research purposes. This means that we will use your health data that we collect during a research study when we act as the data controller for such studies in the ways needed to conduct and analyse the research study. Your rights to access, change or move your information are limited, as we need to manage your information in specific ways in order for the research to be reliable and accurate. If you withdraw from the study, we will keep the information about you that we have already obtained. To safeguard your rights, we will use the minimum personal data necessary to achieve our purpose(s).

CHANGE OF PURPOSE

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the new legal basis.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA

We are based outside the European Economic Area, so the processing of your personal data may involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. Information on how to contact the us can be found under the heading “HOW TO CONTACT US”.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
Regarding transfers to the US, we are required to incorporate the model clauses in agreements for transfer provided by the European Commission in order to provide similar protection to personal data shared within Europe.

HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, visitors from within the EEA have the following data protection rights:

access to your personal data;
correction of your personal data;
erasure of your personal data;
object to processing of your personal data;
restrict of processing your personal data;
transfer of your personal data; and
withdraw consent to any consent that you have previously given.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, information on how to contact the us can be found under the heading “HOW TO CONTACT US”. You can also contact the Supervisory Authority in the country of your residence within the EU at this link for advice or to make a complaint. Please be aware that your rights in relation to clinical research data may be limited.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to comply with your request if it is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
