Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy
Last updated on June 28, 2024
This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes the types of personal information that we collect and use to identify your past, present, or future health status (“Health Data”). This Policy also explains how and why we (and our service providers on our behalf) collect, use, maintain, and share (collectively referred to as “processing”) your Health Data. This Policy does not apply to the collection of Health Data from employees. For additional information relating to our general privacy practices in connection with our websites (“Site”) and additional rights that you may have, please visit our Privacy Policy.
If you participate in certain SpringWorks sponsored programs or services, you may receive a separate privacy policy specific to that program or service. That policy will govern to the extent there is a conflict with this Policy.
Collection of Your Health Data
Your Health Data will be collected in connection with your relationship with SpringWorks when you: 1) engage in a clinical trial that we sponsor; 2) participate in one of our compassionate use programs; 3) provide personal information on our websites and/or marketing programs; and 4) report an adverse event to us.
When you participate in one of our clinical trials, you will be provided with an informed consent form, which will explain how your Health Data will be collected and used. To preserve the integrity of our trial data, SpringWorks does not receive identifiable Health Data from participants in our clinical trials.
Likewise, when you participate in our compassionate use program or other patient support programs, we do not generally collect, store, or receive health information that you have provided directly to your prescribing physician. Please contact your prescribing physician or healthcare provider directly to learn how you can exercise your rights with respect to your Health Data.
Below is information about the Health Data that SpringWorks collects and uses and your rights relating to that Health Data.

Sources of Your Health Data
We collect your Health Data from:

These service providers may collect information, which may include Health Data, to process your request to participate in a program, or a SpringWorks sponsored event (“Programs”). They may also collect your Health Data in connection with your request for communications regarding disease management or about our product(s).
How we Use Your Health Data
We process your Health Data for the following purposes:

To contact you or your representative or your prescribing physician in response to an inquiry from you, your representative (e.g. caregiver), or your prescribing physician; however, to preserve your confidentiality, our standard procedure in the usual course of operating our compassionate use or financial assistance programs is to communicate through your prescribing physician rather than directly with you or your representative.
