Privacy Notice

Last Updated: October 13, 2022

At AVROBIO, we take privacy and security of personal information very seriously.

This Privacy Notice is intended to make you aware of the types of information we gather from people visiting AVROBIO’s corporate website, www.avrobio.com (the “Website”) and how we use, transfer, and secure such information.

As used in this Privacy Notice, “AVROBIO,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to AVROBIO, Inc. and our subsidiaries, joint ventures, and other companies under a common control (“Affiliates”), and “you” or “users” refer to people who visit the Website.

This Privacy Notice is incorporated into and is part of our Terms of Use. If you do not want your personal information to be used, stored or transferred in accordance with this Privacy Notice, then you must not use the Website. Please also see our Cookie Policy available on our website.

  1. THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
    As the owner of the website and, to the extent applicable, as a Data Controller, we gather the following types of information about users:

    1. 1.1 Personal Information: Information that is about, or relates to, an identified or identifiable individual, or that can be linked to that individual (such as name and contact information).
    2. 1.2 Aggregate Information: Information that cannot be used to identify an individual (such as frequency of visits to the Website and browser types).  Please note that we may convert Personal Information into Aggregate Information.
    3. 1.3 Statistical information: We use Google Analytics to collect statistical information about how the Website is used. Google Analytics services involve the use of cookies that collect information such as your IP address or other identifiers, browser information, and information about the content you view and interact with to record how you use the Website. These analytics services help us to know how many users we have, which parts of the Website are most popular, what browsers are used (so we can maximize compatibility), the country or region where our users are located, and the demographics and interests of our users. This enables us to better understand who is using the Website and to improve how we present content on the Website.

We may collect information that allows us to associate you with your social media or other accounts that you have on other websites.  Further we may collect Personal Information through the use of cookies as described within the “Functions and Use of Cookies” section in this Privacy Notice, or the section regarding Google Analytics above.  Where such information meets the definition of Personal Information, such as IP address, we will treat it as such.  The purpose of collecting this information includes improving our Website, improving the way we understand what is important to visitors of our Website, and understanding how to better interact with our stakeholders.

      When we collect your Personal Information in the context of the purposes above-mentioned in section 2.1 – 2.3, we rely on our legitimate interests, many of which have been described in this Notice. We consider any potential impact on your rights before we process your personal information based on our legitimate interest.

If another company acquires our company, business or assets, that company will possess the Personal Information collected by us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Notice.

  4. TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
    Your personal information may be transferred to servers or third-parties located in other countries that do not provide the same level of data protection than your local law. When transferring your Personal Information to these countries, we commit to implement appropriate measures to ensure an adequate protection of your rights (e.g. UK international data transfer agreement or UK addendum for UK visitors or EU Standard Contractual Clauses for EU visitors).
  5. ABOUT AGGREGATE INFORMATION
    Aggregate Information may be collected when you visit the Website, independent of any information you voluntarily enter. Additionally, we may use one or more processes to de-identify information that contains Personal Information, such that only Aggregate Information remains. We may collect, use, store, and transfer Aggregate Information without restriction.

    As we also collect aggregate statistical data through our page hosted on social media such as LinkedIn, AVROBIO will be joint controller with the above-mentioned social media in that regard. For any other processing performed on those types of platforms, the relevant social media platform providers will be the sole Controllers.

    LinkedIn have created an “addendum” to their user agreements for company pages for the processing for which they are joint controllers with us.

    Access to and use of the Website are not intended for use by anyone younger than the age of 18 and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from individuals younger than the age of 18. If you have reason to believe that an individual under the age of 18 has provided Personal Information to us outside of the clinical trial context, please contact us. We will take reasonable steps to investigate and if it is confirmed that we possess Personal Information of an individual under 18 years of age, we will delete the Personal Information. We may require additional information to confirm that the request is a bona fide request from an appropriate person concerning an individual under the age of 18, as allowed by applicable law.
  7. SECURITY
    AVROBIO is committed to protecting the security of your Personal Information. We use a variety of industry-standard security technologies and procedures to help protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
