Privacy policy.

1. INTRODUCTION

This General Incyt Privacy Policy (also referred to as the ‘Privacy Policy’) provides information on the collection, use, and sharing (collectively referred to ‘processing’ or ‘process’) as of personal information by Incyt Holdings LLC and its affiliates (“Incyt”, “we” or “us”) in connection with your use of Incyt websites, mobile applications, and social media pages that link to this Privacy Policy, your interactions with Incyt during in-person meetings at Incyt facilities or at Incyt events, and in the context of other online or offline sales and marketing activities. This Privacy Policy also explains the privacy rights you have in relation to these processing activities.

This Privacy Policy was last updated on October, 9 2024. However, the Privacy Policy can change over time, for example to comply with legal requirements or to meet changing business needs. The most up-to-date version can be found on this website. In case there is an important change that we want to highlight to you, we will also inform you in another appropriate way (for example via a pop-up notice or statement of changes on our website).

As used in this Privacy Policy, ‘personal information’ or ‘personal data’ means information that relates to an identified individual or to an identifiable individual. For example, this could include among other things your name, address, email address, business contact details, or information gathered through your interactions with us via our websites or at events. Personal information is also referred to as ‘information about you.’ For more detail about the types of information about you that we may process, please refer to Section 4 below.

2. SCOPE

This Privacy Policy applies to the processing of personal information by Incyt of:

Visitors and users of the various Incyt sites, including our websites on Incyt.xyz, computer or mobile software applications and our social media pages that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively referred to as the sites);

  • attendees of Incyt events;

  • customers and prospective customers and their representatives;

  • subscribers to Incyt publications and newsletters;

  • visitors to Incyt facilities; and

  • suppliers and business partners and their representatives.

The Privacy Policy does not apply to the following activities:

  • Personal information collected about you by Incyt customers. Incyt customers are responsible for their own personal information collection and processing practices, including when customers use Incyt products or services to process your personal information. To find out more about our customers’ use of personal information about you, you are encouraged to review the relevant privacy policy of the company who collected your information from you. Please consult that company directly if you have any further questions about its use of information about you.

  • Personal information processed by Incyt to provide Cloud, Technical Support, Consulting/ACS or other services to Incyt customers. “Services personal information” is personal information processed by Incyt on behalf of a customer in order to provide and perform contracted services.

  • Personal information you provide on third party sites not controlled by Incyt. When interacting with our websites, you also have the ability to link or connect with non-Incyt websites, services, social networks, applications or other features. Enabling these features will lead to other parties than Incyt processing information about you. Incyt does not have any control over these features of other parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these parties before using these features.

  • to engage in transactions with customers, suppliers and business partners and to process orders for Incyt products and services;

  • to provide select business-to-business services to Incyt customers using publicly available information about companies which may include personal information such as the name of a company’s CEO that is publicly available.

These purposes are described below in further detail.

To communicate and respond to your requests and inquiries to Incyt

If you get in touch with us (such as by submitting contact forms on our sites, reaching out to us via Incyt chat, attending Incyt events or other occasions, sending an email or by visiting social media platforms), we process information about you to communicate with you and to respond to your requests or other inquiries. We can also process personal information to interact with you on third party social networks.

To create an Incyt SSO account and deliver functionality on our sites and for their technical and functional management

When you choose to register with us (such as to make use of our communities), we need to process the personal information provided by you so that we can create an Incyt account for you. Please note, this only applies to personal information controlled by Incyt, not personal information Incyt processes on behalf of our customers.

To engage in transactions with customers, suppliers and business partners and to process purchases of our products and services

If you place an order for our products and services, or if you provide services to Incyt, our employees, customers or partners as a supplier or business partner, Incyt processes information about you to engage in and administer the relevant transactions (such as by sending invoices and making payments), administer your order, and help you get started and adopt our products and services. If you download products or services from our sites, Incyt uses information about you to confirm certain information about your order (for example, that you did not experience problems in the download process).

To analyze, develop, improve and optimize the use, function and performance of our sites and products and services

We may process personal information in order to analyze, develop, improve and optimize the use, function and performance of our sites and products and services, including for quality assurance and training purposes, as well as for marketing and sales campaigns. This includes processing personal information to conduct surveys to improve Incyt products and services. In case the sites permit you to participate in interactive discussions, create a profile, post comments, opportunities or other content, or communicate directly with another user or otherwise engage in networking activities on Incyt sites, Incyt may process personal information when moderating these activities.

To manage the security of our sites, facilities, networks and systems

We may collect site use data for security and operations management to help keep our sites, facilities, networks and systems secure, or to investigate and prevent potential fraud, including ad fraud and cyber-attacks and to detect bots.

To comply with applicable laws and regulations and to operate our business

In some cases, we have to process personal information to comply with applicable laws and regulations. For example, to respond to a request from a regulator or to defend a legal claim. We may also process personal information in the performance and operation of our business, such as to conduct internal audits and investigations or for finance and accounting and archiving and insurance purposes.

To administer subscriptions of Incyt publications and newsletters

If you subscribe to our magazines or newsletters, we process information about you to administer your subscription to our magazines/newsletters (including the renewal process).

To market our products, services, events, or related products and services and to tailor marketing and sales activities

Incyt may use information about you to notify you about new product releases and service developments, events, alerts, updates, prices, terms, special offers and associated campaigns and promotions (including via newsletters). Incyt may also use personal information to advertise Incyt’s products and services or related products and services, and also to have our distributors, resellers or partners notify you about our products or services or their related products or services (such as via joint sales or product promotions). We do our best to tailor your website visit, marketing experience and our communications to your expressed interests. This happens, for example, if you sign up for an Incyt community or program like the Incyt Partner Network or Incyt Technology Network.

If you attend an event, Incyt may process information about you gathered in relation to the event and can share information about your attendance with your company. Incyt may also permit designated event partners or conference sponsors to send you up to two communications related to your event attendance. Please note that our partners or conference sponsors may directly request information about you at their conference booths or presentations, and their use of your information that you provide to them will be subject to their privacy policies.

We may also process your personal information to post testimonials on our sites, but will first obtain your consent to use your name and testimonial.

To provide select services to Incyt customers using publicly-available information which may include personal information such as the name of a company’s CEO

For some business-to-business services, we may collect the publicly available names of company directors and officials to better understand the status of these companies and help inform our services which relate to providing customers information about other companies.

6. WHAT IS OUR BASIS FOR PROCESSING INFORMATION ABOUT YOU?

For personal information collected about you in the EU/EEA, the UK and other relevant jurisdictions, our basis for processing is the following:
