PERSONAL INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE
If you are interested in participating in a clinical or observational study, we will need to collect certain information, including some personal information, to help us pre-qualify you. This information will include your name and contact information: email address, phone number and mailing zip code. We also may ask you to provide some biographical information, such as your sex, age, and birth date.
Depending on the nature of the study, we may also ask for some initial information regarding your current medical status and history. For example, we may ask if you have a specific medical condition and/or are currently taking certain prescriptions. We need this information to help us determine if you qualify for a specific study. This information may qualify as “sensitive” personal information or Protected Health Information under applicable law (including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 in the United States).
To be considered for a study, you may be directed from this website to an online form to complete and, depending on your responses, you may then be contacted via telephone by a medical professional with follow-up questions. Even if you are not qualified for a specific study, we may contact you thereafter for other studies that you may qualify for.
Personal and other information you provide is kept strictly confidential and will not be shared or disclosed to a third party except as described in this Privacy Policy.
HOW WE USE AND SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

- to comply with our legal obligations;
- to a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of BioVie’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by BioVie about our Website’s visitors and email lists are among the assets transferred;

We and these third parties have implemented appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security safeguards to ensure the security, integrity, accuracy and privacy of the information you have provided.

DATA RETENTION
We or our contractors, service providers, and other designated third parties will retain your submitted personal and other information until the study you applied for is complete, even if you are not selected for the study. We may want to contact you again if the study is extended to include additional participants or the inclusion or exclusion criteria for a study may change. During this time your personal information is retained, we also may contact you about other studies for which you may be eligible. Once the initial study you applied for or participated in is completed, we will delete your information from our records, if any, and direct our third-party service providers to do the same.
