Privacy Policy

Abas Clinic ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through abasclinic.com, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices you have. Abas Clinic is a clinical research organization that supports clinical studies. It is not a clinic or medical provider and does not provide medical advice.

1. Information we collect

• Contact information you give us: your full name, phone number, and email address when you submit the eligibility form.
• Consent records: which consent boxes you checked, along with the date and time, so we can honour your choices.
• Communications: messages you send us by email, phone, or text, and our replies.
• Technical information: basic device and browser information and general usage data collected automatically when you visit the website.

2. How we use your information

• To review whether you may be suitable for studies supported by Abas Clinic.
• To contact you about studies you may be suitable for, and to answer your questions.
• To send service updates and account notification texts, if you gave express consent.
• To send marketing communications and promotions, only if you separately opted in.
• To operate, secure, and improve our website, and to meet our legal obligations.

3. Categories of information and disclosure

We may disclose the following categories of information to service providers who help us operate: identifiers (such as name, phone number, and email address), commercial or participation-related information, internet or network activity information, and inferences drawn about suitability for a study. These providers act on our instructions and may not use the information for their own purposes.

All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties for their own purposes.

4. Text messaging privacy

Your phone number and your text messaging consent are used only to send you the messages you agreed to receive from Abas Clinic. Your number will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing purposes. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message, or reply HELP for more information. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies. See our Terms of Service for the full program terms.

5. We do not sell your information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not rent or trade it for third-party marketing.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working correctly and to understand general usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect how parts of the site behave.

7. Data retention

We keep your information for as long as needed for the purposes described above, and then for any period required to comply with our legal, accounting, or record-keeping obligations. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or de-identify it.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your choices and rights

• You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the information we hold about you.
• You can withdraw text messaging consent at any time by replying STOP.
• You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any such email.
