Privacy Policy

1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") outlines the practices of Morphocell Technologies Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Morphocell", "we", "our", or "us") regarding the processing of your personal information, as defined in the Definition of “personal information” section below. Specifically, the purpose of this Policy is to explain how and for what purposes Morphocell collects, uses, shares or otherwise processes your personal information and how we safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information when you visit our Website ("Website") or communicate with us in person, by phone or by email, including when you apply for a professional opportunity with Morphocell.
 

Please take the time to familiarize yourself with this Privacy Policy, as it describes your privacy choices and how you can contact us if you have questions or would like to exercise your rights under applicable privacy laws. By providing us with personal information and/or otherwise interacting with us, you agree that your personal information will be processed in accordance with this Policy.

 

2. DEFINITION OF “PERSONAL INFORMATION”

In this Policy, “personal information” generally means any information that can be used, either alone or in combination with other information, to identify an individual. This includes information such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, or any other contact details. It may also include other types of more technical information, but only when this information can identify you as an individual. Information that is anonymized and cannot be associated with an identifiable individual is not considered to be personal information, if it is, at all times, reasonably foreseeable in the circumstances that this information irreversibly no longer allows you to be identified directly or indirectly.

6. CROSS-BORDER TRANSFERS

Some of our external third-party service providers are based outside of Québec and/or Canada, including in the United States and Europe. Their processing of your personal information will therefore involve a transfer of information outside of Québec and/or Canada.

protections as in Canada.
