Your rights regarding your Personal Data
European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), and the United Kingdom (UK)
Where EU GDPR and UK GDPR apply, you have certain rights over your Personal Data. For your protection, and to protect the privacy of others, we may need to verify your identity before completing what you have asked us to do. If you would like to exercise these rights, or if you would like more information about your rights or have any concerns about how we process your personal information, please Contact Us as set out below.
Right to be Informed
You have the right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data. We ensure we do this with our internal and external Privacy Notices (including this document). These are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure these are accurate and reflect our data processing activities.
Right to Access Your Personal Data
You have the right to access the Personal Data that we hold about you in many circumstances, by making a request. This is sometimes termed a ‘Data Subject Access Request’. If we agree that we are obliged to provide Personal Data to you (or someone else on your behalf), we will provide it to you or them free of charge and aim to do so within 1 month from when your identity has been confirmed. If your request is particularly complex, we may extend this response window to a total of 3 months. We would ask for proof of identity and sufficient information about your interactions with us that we can locate your Personal Data.
Right to Rectify Your Personal Data
If any of the Personal Data we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, you may ask us to correct it. If we shared your Personal Data with others, we will tell them about the correction where possible.
Right to Erasure
You have the right to have personal data erased. This is also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’. The right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances. For instance, the right to erasure does not apply where we have a legal obligation to retain your Personal Data. If we shared your data with others, we will alert them to the need for erasure where possible.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data. For example, this may be because you have issues with the accuracy of the data we hold or the way we have processed your data. The right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances. We will tell you before we lift any restriction on processing. If we shared your Personal Data with others, we will tell them about the restriction where possible.
Right to Portability
The right to portability gives you the right to receive personal data you have provided to a controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, where the lawful basis for processing relies upon consent or a contract entered into with you. It also gives them you the right to request that a controller transmits this data directly to another controller.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to our processing of some or all of the personal data that we hold about you. This is an absolute right when we use your data for direct marketing but may not apply in other circumstances where we have a compelling reason to do so, e.g., a legal obligation.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
You have the right to object to our processing where a decision is made about you solely based upon automated processed and which has significant or legal effects. nChroma Bio does not intend to conduct any automated decision-making for your Personal Data. You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making, unless we have a lawful basis for doing so and we have otherwise notified you.
Right to withdraw consent
If we rely on your consent to process your Personal Data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, but this will not affect any processing of your data that has already taken place.
Right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority
If you have a concern about our privacy practices, including the way we handled your Personal Data, you can report it to the data protection authority that is authorized to hear those concerns.

United States – Other Data Protection Legislation
Other US Data Protection Legislation
If you are a US resident, we process your personal data in accordance with applicable US state data privacy laws, including the CCPA/CPRA described above. This section of our Privacy Notice contains information required by other US state data privacy laws and supplements the above section on CCPA/CPRA.
Several US states have enacted comprehensive privacy statutes, including but not limited to Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia. These laws include provisions aimed at safeguarding consumer rights and outlining business obligations. If you have relevant rights under these laws, you can exercise them by contacting us using the details provided in the Contact Us section as set out below
Our practices are designed to adhere to the highest standards set forth by these laws, ensuring that we respect the privacy rights of all individuals. As the US privacy laws continue to evolve, we will monitor these changes, adjust our privacy practices, and update our Privacy Notice(s), accordingly.
We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information
If you are a US resident, you have the right to know whether your personal information is being sold. Your personal information is “sold” when it is provided to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration for a purpose that is not a “business purpose” as set forth in the CCPA or other US state data privacy laws.
Please note a “sale” does not include when we disclose your personal information at your direction, or when otherwise permitted under law.
We May Share Your Personal Information
If you are a US resident, please note that we may “share” your personal data, as defined under California and other applicable US state laws, for personalised advertising purposes and/or for any other purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice.
Do Not Track
If you are a US resident, please note that, due to varying practices among browser providers and the lack of a market standard, we do not respond to Do Not Track signals at this time.
Non-Discrimination
If you are a US resident, please note that US state privacy laws prohibit businesses from discriminating against you for exercising your rights under the law. Such discrimination may include denying goods or services, providing a different level or quality of service, or charging different prices.
The CCPA permits businesses to provide differing levels or quality or different prices where the business can demonstrate that the difference is reasonably related to the value to the business of the consumer’s personal information.
