Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 16, 2025

This website (the “Site”) is operated by Icosphere Biosciences (“Icosphere Biosciences”, “we”, “our”, “us”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Information We Collect

We collect two main types of information when you use our Site:

Personal Data You Provide

You may share information with us directly, such as when you:

  • Contact us by email or through the Site.
  • Sign up for updates, newsletters, or events.
  • Fill in forms, surveys, or requests.

This may include your name, email address, phone number, job title, and any other information you choose to provide.

Data Collected Automatically

When you browse our Site, we may automatically collect:

  • Technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, and operating system.
  • Usage data such as the pages you visit, how long you spend on the Site, and how you interact with it.
  • Cookies and similar technologies (see our [Cookie Policy] for more detail).

This information helps us understand how people use our Site and improve its performance.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your information to:

  • Provide and improve our services and website.
  • Respond to your enquiries or requests.
  • Send updates, newsletters, or promotional material (only if you have consented).
  • Comply with legal or regulatory requirements.

3. Legal Grounds for Using Your Data

We only process your data where permitted by law, including:

  • Consent – for example, if you sign up to receive marketing emails.
  • Contract – if we need to process your data to provide information or services you’ve requested.
  • Legal obligation – when we must comply with a law or regulation.
  • Legitimate interests – such as improving our Site, ensuring security, or communicating with you about our work.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only with:

  • Trusted service providers who help us operate our Site and deliver services (such as hosting, analytics, or email services).
  • Professional advisers such as lawyers and accountants.
  • Regulators, authorities, or law enforcement if required by law.
  • Another organisation in the event of a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.

5. International Transfers

If we transfer your data outside the UK (for example, to servers or partners based abroad), we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect it in line with UK GDPR.

6. How Long We Keep Your Data

We only keep your data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, unless we are legally required to keep it longer.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Request deletion of your personal data.
  • Object to or restrict how we process your data.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at www.ico.org.uk.

8. Children

Our Site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. Please check their policies directly.

10. Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data. However, no method of online transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Updates to This Policy
