Welcome to Veritas Labs Inc. — a clinical talent supply chain provider. This Privacy Notice explains how Veritas Labs Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “Veritas”) collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal data in connection with our website (https://www.veritaslabs.ai/) and the services we provide.

This Privacy Notice does not address our privacy practices relating to Veritas job applicants, employees and other employment-related individuals, nor data that is not subject to applicable data protection laws (such as deidentified or publicly available information). This Privacy Notice is also not a contract and does not create any legal rights or obligations not otherwise provided by law.

Our Role in Processing Personal Data

Data protection laws sometimes differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal data. A “controller” determines the purposes and means (the why and how) of processing personal data. A “processor,” which is sometimes referred to as a “service provider,” processes personal data on behalf of a controller subject to the controller’s instructions.

This Privacy Notice describes our privacy practices where we are acting as the controller of personal data. However, this Privacy Notice does not cover or address how our customers may process personal data when they use our services, or how we may process personal data on their behalf in accordance with their instructions where we are acting as their processor. As a result, we recommend referring to the privacy notice of the customer with which you have a relationship for information on how they engage processors, like us, to process personal data on their behalf. In addition, we are generally not permitted to respond to individual requests relating to personal data we process on behalf of our customers, so we recommend directing any requests to the relevant customer.

Our Collection and Use of Personal Data

The categories of personal data we collect depend on how you interact with us and our services. For example, you may provide us your personal data directly when you visit our website, reach out to us through our webform or otherwise contact us or interact with us.

We also collect personal data automatically when you interact with our website and other services and may also collect personal data from other sources and third parties.

Personal Data Provided by Individuals

We collect the following categories of personal data individuals provide us:

• Contact Information, including first and last name, phone number, email address, mailing address, and communication preferences. We use this information primarily to communicate with you directly, and to send you marketing communications in accordance with your preferences.
• Employment Information, including your current place of employment, employment history, desired salary, desired work location, desired job position and other related information. We use this information primarily to provide our outreach services.

If you choose to contact us, we may need additional information to fulfill the request or respond to your inquiry. We may provide additional privacy disclosures where the scope of the request we receive or personal data we require fall outside the scope of this Privacy Notice. In that case, the additional privacy disclosures will govern how we may process the information you provide at that time.

Personal Data Automatically Collected

We, and our third-party partners, automatically collect information you provide to us and information about how you access and use our products and services when you engage with us. We typically collect this information through the use of a variety of our own and our third-party partners’ automatic data collection technologies, including (i) cookies or small data files that are stored on an individual’s computer and (ii) other, related technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, mobile SDKs, location-identifying technologies and logging technologies. Information we collect automatically about you may be combined with other personal information we collect directly from you or receive from other sources.

We, and our third-party partners, use automatic data collection technologies to automatically collect the following data when you use our services or otherwise engage with us:

• Information About Your Device and Network, including the device type, manufacturer, and model, operating system, IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, and unique identifiers associated with you, your device, or your network (including, for example, a persistent device identifier or advertising ID). We employ third-party technologies designed to allow us to recognize when two or more devices are likely being used by the same individual and may leverage these technologies (where permitted) to link information collected from different devices.
• Information About the Way Individuals Use Our Services and Interact With Us, including the site from which you came, the site to which you are going when you leave our services, how frequently you access our services, whether you access our services from multiple devices, and other browsing behavior and actions you take on our services (such as the pages you visit, the content you view, the communications you have through our services, and the content, links and ads you interact with). We employ third-party technologies designed to allow us to collect detailed information about browsing behavior and actions that you take on our services, which may record your mouse movements, scrolling, clicks, and keystroke activity on our services and other browsing, search or purchasing behavior. These third-party technologies may also record information you enter when you interact with our services.

All of the information collected automatically through these tools allows us to improve your customer experience. For example, we may use this information to enhance and personalize your user experience, to monitor and improve our products and services, to offer communications features such as live and automated chat, and to improve the effectiveness of our products, services, offers, advertising, communications and customer service.  We may also use this information to:  (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) identify you across multiple devices; (d) provide and monitor the effectiveness of our services; (e) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, usage, and demographic patterns on our website; (f) diagnose or fix technology problems; and (g) otherwise to plan for and enhance our products and services.

Your Privacy Choices

The following privacy choices are made available to all individuals with whom we interact.

Communication Preferences

• Email Communication Preferences: You can stop receiving promotional email communications from us by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link provided in any of our email communications. Please note you cannot opt-out of service-related email communications (such as, account verification, transaction confirmation, or service update emails).
• Phone Communication Preferences: You can stop receiving promotional phone communications from us by informing the caller you no longer wish to receive promotional phone calls from us, following the instructions provided on the call for opting out of promotional phone calls (where available), or replying STOP to any one of our promotional text messages. Please note we may need to continue to communicate with you via phone for certain service-related messages (such as, sending a verification code to your phone via call or text for purposes of verifying the authenticity of a log-in attempt).

Withdrawing Your Consent

Where we have your consent for the processing of your personal data (e.g., when you opt in to receive certain types of marketing communications from us), you may withdraw your consent by following the instructions provided when your consent was requested or by contacting us as set forth in the Contact Us section below.

Automatic Data Collection Preferences

Certain of our services may provide you the ability to adjust your preferences regarding our use of automatic data collection technologies. For additional details about our use of automatic data collection technologies and to adjust your preferences with regard to those technologies, please contact us at privacy@veritaslabs.ai.

Where a Veritas-specific preference manager or privacy setting is not available, you may be able to utilize third-party tools and features to further restrict our use of automatic data collection technologies. For example, (i) most browsers allow you to change browser settings to limit automatic data collection technologies on websites, (ii) most email providers allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images in emails that may contain automatic data collection technologies, and (iii) many devices allow you to change your device settings to limit automatic data collection technologies for device applications. Please note that blocking automatic data collection technologies through third-party tools and features may negatively impact your experience using our services, as some features and offerings may not work properly or at all. Depending on the third-party tool or feature you use, you may not be able to block all automatic data collection technologies or you may need to update your preferences on multiple devices or browsers. We do not have any control over these third-party tools and features and are not responsible if they do not function as intended.  

Targeted Advertising Preferences

We engage third parties to help us facilitate targeted advertising designed to show you personalized ads based on predictions of your preferences and interests developed using personal data we maintain and personal data our third-party partners obtain from your activity over time and across nonaffiliated websites and other services. The data we and our third-party partners use for purposes of facilitating targeted advertising, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research, are primarily collected through the use of a variety of automatic data collection technologies, including cookies, web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, mobile SDKs, location-identifying technologies and logging technologies. We may share a common account identifier (such as a hashed email address or user ID) with our third-party advertising partners to help link the personal data we and our third-party partners collect to the same person, or otherwise target advertising to an individual on a third-party website or platform.

In addition to taking the steps set forth in the Automatic Data Collection Preferences section above, you may be able to further exercise control over the advertisements that you see by leveraging one or more targeted advertising opt-out programs. For example:

• Device-Specific Opt-Out Programs: Certain devices provide individuals the option to turn off targeted advertising for the entire device (such as Apple devices through their App Tracking Transparency framework or Android devices through their opt out of ads personalization feature). Please refer to your device manufacturer’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available device-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.
• Digital Advertising Alliance: The Digital Advertising Alliance allows individuals to opt out of receiving online interest-based targeted advertisements from companies that participate in their program. Please follow the instructions at https://www.optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN for browser-based advertising and https://www.youradchoices.com/appchoices for app-based advertising to opt out of targeted advertising carried out by our third-party partners and other third parties that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s self-regulatory program.
• Network Advertising Initiative: The Network Advertising Initiative similarly allows individuals to opt out of receiving online interest-based targeted advertisements from companies that participate in their program. Please follow the instructions at https://www.optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1 to opt out of browser-based targeted advertising carried out by our third-party partners and other third parties that participate in the Network Advertising Initiative’s self-regulatory program.
• Platform-Specific Opt-Out Programs: Certain third-party platforms provide individuals the option to turn off targeted advertising for the entire platform (such as certain social media platforms). Please refer to your platform provider’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available platform-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.

Please note that when you opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements through one of these programs, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from us or on our services.  Instead, it means that the online ads you do see from relevant program participants should not be based on your interests.  We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs. In addition, program participants may still use automatic data collection technologies to collect information about your use of our services, including for analytics and fraud prevention as well as any other purpose permitted under the applicable advertising industry program.

Modifying or Deleting Your Personal Data

If you have any questions about reviewing, modifying, or deleting your personal data, you can contact us directly at privacy@veritaslabs.ai. We may not be able to modify or delete your personal data in all circumstances.

Partner-Specific Preferences

Certain of our third-party providers and partners offer additional ways that you may exercise control over your personal data, or automatically impose limitations on the way we can use personal data in connection with the services they provide:

• Device-Specific / Platform-Specific Preferences: The device and/or platform you use to interact with us (such as your mobile device or social media provider), may provide you additional choices with regard to the data you choose to share with us. For example, many mobile devices allow you to change your device permissions to prevent our products and services from accessing certain types of information from your device (such as your contact lists or location data), and many social media platforms allow you to change your platform permissions to prevent integrated products and services from accessing certain types of information connected with your profile. Please refer to your device or platform provider’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available platform-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.
• Google Analytics: Google Analytics allows us to better understand how our customers interact with our services.  For information on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, as well as how you can control information sent to Google, review Google's website here: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can learn about Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs, including the Google Analytics Browser Add-On here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. We may also utilize certain forms of display advertising and other advanced features through Google Analytics. These features enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick advertising cookie) or other third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to our services.  You may control your advertising preferences or opt-out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager, currently available at https://www.adssettings.google.com/anonymous?ref=ps-tech&hl=en.

Children’s Personal Data

Our services are not directed to, and we do not intend to, or knowingly, collect or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13. If an individual is under the age of 13, they should not use our services or otherwise provide us with any personal data either directly or by other means. If a child under the age of 13 has provided personal data to us, we encourage the child’s parent or guardian to contact us to request that we remove the personal data from our systems. If we learn that any personal data we collect has been provided by a child under the age of 13, we will promptly delete that personal data.

Personal Data Disclosures, Sales and Targeted Advertising

We disclose all of the categories of personal data we collect to the categories of recipients set forth in the Our Disclosure of Personal Data section of our Privacy Notice. Our disclosure of personal data to the following categories of third parties qualifies as the sale of personal data or the sharing or processing of personal data for the purpose of displaying advertisements that are selected based on personal data obtained or inferred over time from an individual’s activities across businesses or distinctly-branded websites, applications, or other services (otherwise known as “targeted advertising” or “cross-context behavioral advertising”) under certain privacy laws:

• To Marketing Providers: Information about your device and network as well as information about the way individuals use our services and interact with us
• To Advertising Partners: Information about your device and network as well as information about the way individuals use our services and interact with us

Subject to certain legal limitations and exceptions, you may be able to limit or opt-out of the sale of personal data or the processing of personal data for purposes of targeted advertising (as described in the Your Additional U.S. Privacy Choices section below).

Please note we do not sell the personal data of individuals we know to be less than 16 years of age or share such information for targeted advertising purposes.

Sensitive Personal Data

The following personal data elements we collect may be classified as “sensitive” under certain privacy laws:

• Race, ethnicity or national origin
• Citizenship or immigration status
• Religious or philosophical beliefs
• Genetic or biometric data that is processed for the purpose of uniquely identifying an individual

• Information about an individual’s sexual orientation, sex life or status as transgender or non-binary
• Precise geolocation data
• Personal information collected from a known child under the age of 13

We do not knowingly collect or process sensitive personal data, which means we do not sell sensitive personal data or process or otherwise share sensitive personal data for the purpose of targeted advertising.

Deidentified Information

We may at times receive, or process personal data to create, deidentified information that can no longer reasonably be used to infer information about, or otherwise be linked to, a particular individual or household. Where we maintain deidentified information, we will maintain and use the information in deidentified form and not attempt to reidentify the information except as required or permitted by law.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not conduct automated processing of personal data for the purposes of evaluating, analyzing, or predicting an individual’s personal aspects in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. As a result, we do not provide a right to exercise control over such forms of automated decision-making and profiling.

Your Additional U.S. Privacy Choices

Subject to certain legal limitations and exceptions, you may be able to exercise the following rights:

• Right to Know: The right to confirm whether we are processing personal data about you.
• Right to Access & Portability: The right to obtain access to the personal data we have collected about you and, where required by law, the right to obtain a copy of the personal data in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the data to another entity without hindrance.
• Right to Correction: The right to correct inaccuracies in your personal data, taking into account the nature of the personal data and the purposes of the processing of the personal data.

You also have the right to not receive retaliatory or discriminatory treatment in connection with a request to exercise the above rights. However, the exercise of the rights described above may result in a different price, rate or quality level of product or service where that difference is reasonably related to the impact the right has on our relationship or is otherwise permitted by law.

Submitting Privacy Rights Requests

Please submit a request specifying the right you wish to exercise by emailing us at privacy@veritaslabs.ai.

To exercise your right to opt-out as it relates to the use of cookies and related technologies that involve the sale of personal data or the use of personal data for targeted advertising purposes, please email us at privacy@veritaslabs.ai.

Before processing your request to exercise certain rights (including the Right to Know, Access & Portability, Correction, and Deletion), we will need to verify your identity and confirm you are a resident of a state that offers the requested right(s). To verify your identity, we will generally require the matching of sufficient information you provide us to the information we maintain about you in our systems. As a result, we require requests submitted through email to include first and last name, email address, phone number, state of residency and/or the date of your last correspondence with us.

In certain circumstances, we may decline or limit your request, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity or locate your information in our systems, or where you are not a resident of one of the eligible states.

Submitting Authorized Agent Requests

In certain circumstances, you are permitted to use an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf through the designated methods set forth above where we can verify the authorized agent’s authority to act on your behalf. In order to verify the authorized agent’s authority, we generally require evidence of either (i) a valid power of attorney or (ii) a signed letter containing your name and contact information, the name and contact information of the authorized agent, and a statement of authorization for the request. Depending on the evidence provided and your state of residency, we may still need to separately reach out to you to confirm the authorized agent has permission to act on your behalf and to verify your identity in connection with the request.

Appealing Privacy Rights Decisions

You may be able to appeal a decision we have made in connection with your privacy rights request. All appeal requests should be submitted by replying to the communication resolving your original request.
