CELLDEX THERAPEUTICS, INC. PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated August 6, 2012

We, at Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. (“Celldex,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), have created this privacy policy (this “Privacy Policy”) because we know that you care about how information you provide to us is used and shared. This Privacy Policy applies to all information received by Celldex, both online and offline, in any format, including electronic, paper, verbal, and through this website (the “Website”).

Acceptance of Terms

By visiting our Website, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the accompanying Legal Information.

The Information We Collect

Celldex collects the following types of information, both directly from you and indirectly through our third-party service providers (our “Providers”).

1. Personal Information.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any information or set of information that identifies or could be used by or on behalf of Celldex to identify a natural person. Personal Information does not include information regarding corporate entities or information that is encoded or anonymized, or publicly available information that has not been combined with non-public Personal Information.

Celldex collects Personal Information for specific and limited purposes. When we or our Providers collect Personal Information, we or our Providers will inform the individuals of these purposes and the choices and means, if any, offered to such individuals for limiting the use and disclosure of that Personal Information. We or our Providers will endeavor to provide such notice in clear and conspicuous language when individuals are first asked to provide Personal Information or as soon as practicable thereafter.

Examples of different purposes for which we may collect Personal Information include, but are not limited to:

  • In connection with clinical trials;
  • In connection with job applications; and
  • When you voluntarily submit it to us, request information about our products and services, or sign up to receive information from us, such as by submitting an online Information Request or Scientific Inquiry Form through the Website or by sending us an e-mail.
2. Other Information.

In addition to the Personal Information, we may collect additional information on the Website (collectively, the “Other Information”). Such Other Information may include:

  1. From Your Activity. Information that we or our technology providers may automatically collect when you visit, access, and/or use the Website, such as your IP addresses, Internet service provider, browser type and language, referring and exit pages and URLs, date and time, amount of time spent on particular pages, which sections of the Website you visit, number of links you click while on the Website, search terms, and operating system.
  2. From Cookies and JavaScript Tags. Information that we or our technology providers collect using “cookie” technology and JavaScript tags. Cookies are small packets of data that a website stores on your computer’s hard drive so that your computer will “remember” information about your visit. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to help us collect Other Information and to enhance your experience using the Website. If you do not want us to place a cookie on your hard drive, you may be able to turn that feature off on your computer. Please consult your Internet browser’s documentation for information on how to do this and how to delete persistent cookies. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from us, the Website may not function properly. We use JavaScript tags to trigger a sequence of events that includes viewing a first-party cookie (or setting that cookie if it does not already exist) and to help us tailor and optimize our Website and provide you relevant Celldex advertisements outside of our Website.

    3. How We Use and Share the Information

    We use the Personal Information only in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. Celldex will take reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Information is relevant to its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.

    We may also use and/or share the Personal Information and the Other Information as described below.

    • We may use the Personal Information and the Other Information to solicit your feedback and/or to inform you about our products and services.
    • We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include providing technical assistance, customer service, and assistance in administering clinical trials. These other companies will have access to the Personal Information and the Other Information only as necessary to perform their functions and to the extent permitted by law. In addition, we will obtain assurances from our agents that they will safeguard the Personal Information and Other Information consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. If we learn that an agent is using or disclosing Personal Information or Other Information in a manner contrary to this Privacy Policy, we will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop such unauthorized use or disclosure.
    • In an ongoing effort to better understand visitors to our Website and our products and services, we may analyze the Other Information in aggregate form in order to operate, maintain, manage, and improve the Website and/or our products and services. This aggregate information does not identify individuals personally. We may share this aggregate data with our affiliates, agents, and business partners. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our products and services to current and prospective business partners and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
    • We may share some or all of the Personal Information and Other Information with any of our parent companies, subsidiaries, or other companies under common control with us.
    • As we develop our businesses, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, sale of assets, dissolution, or similar event, the Personal Information and Other Information may be part of the transferred assets.
    • To the extent permitted by law, we may also disclose the Personal Information and the Other Information: (i) to government and regulatory agencies in connection with our seeking regulatory approval for our products; (ii) when required by law, court order, or other government or law enforcement authority or regulatory agency; or (iii) whenever we believe that disclosing such information is necessary or advisable, for example, to protect the rights, property, or safety of Celldex or others.

      • Accessing and Modifying Information and Communication Preferences

      Upon request, Celldex will grant individuals reasonable access to Personal Information that we and our agents hold about them. For example, visitors to the Website who have provided Personal Information to us may review and/or make changes to the same by contacting Celldex. Similarly, individuals who have participated in clinical trials may access their Personal Information by contacting the investigator with whom they interacted. In addition, individuals may manage their receipt of marketing communications by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link located on the bottom of any Celldex marketing e-mail or by following the instructions found on the Website. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to process such requests in a timely manner. You should be aware, however, that it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in our subscription databases.

      How We Protect the Information

      We take commercially reasonable steps to protect the Personal Information and Other Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that the information that you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to and from us over the Internet. In particular, e-mail sent to or from the Website may not be secure and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail.
