Such laws include health or medical information, including deidentified patient information, covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, or clinical trial data subject to the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, also known as the Common Rule. We may notify you separately according to those laws if any of our collection, use, or sharing of personal information falls under any of those laws.

7. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Inari is based in the United States of America.  If you are from a country outside of the United States of America with laws governing data collection, use, and disclosure that may differ from U.S. law and you provide personal information to us, please note that any personal information that you provide to us may be transferred to the United States of America.  By providing your personal information, where applicable law permits, you hereby specifically and expressly consent to such transfer and processing and the collection, use, and disclosure set forth herein.  We safeguard and enable the global transfer of personal information in a number of ways.  For example, if you or your organization is required to enter into a contract or other binding legal act under EEA, UK, or Swiss law with your processors, and Inari is acting as a processor for you, as the controller, you may request that Inari enter into a Data Processing Addendum with Standard Contractual Clauses by contacting us at the address listed in the section titled “CONTACTING US” below.

8. RESIDENTS OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

The following applies to individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), and Switzerland.

8.1 Lawful basis for processing.

We will use your personal information only for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably determine we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.  For example, we consider deidentification, aggregation, and anonymization of personal information to be compatible with the purposes listed above and in your interest, because the deidentification, aggregation, and anonymization of such information reduces the likelihood of improper disclosure of that information.

PLEASE NOTE WE MAY PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ABOVE RULES, WHERE THIS IS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED BY LAW.

8.2 Retention. Inari retains your personal information:

• For so long as needed to provide you with the Site or to fulfill our contractual obligations;

• Object. Object to our reliance on our lawful basis as the basis of our processing of your personal information that impacts your rights.
• Delete. Delete your personal information.

When we receive your request, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request.

If you are a European resident and would like to exercise any of these rights, please submit your request to the address listed in the section titled “CONTACTING US” below.  If you would like to submit a complaint about our use of your personal information or response to your requests regarding your personal information, you may contact us or submit a complaint to the data protection authority in your jurisdiction.  You can find your data protection regulator here.

10.2 What We May Need from You. When exercising your rights or otherwise assisting you, we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity.  This is a security measure to ensure we do not disclose personal information to any person who is not entitled to receive it.  We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

10.3 Time to Respond. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days of your request.  Occasionally it may take us longer than 30 days to respond, for instance if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests.  In this case, we will notify you of the delay, and may continue to update you regarding the progress of our response.
