If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contact with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).

We may have other legitimate interests and if appropriate] we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

This web site uses a tracking technology called a “cookie.” A cookie is a small text data file that a web site can place on your computer’s hard drive, where your internet browser files are kept. Cookies enable us to recognize when a computer being used to browse our web site has previously visited an electroCore or its other owned web sites. Cookies can also be used to enable a site to ‘remember’ the information a visitor has previously inputted, should that visitor so choose. Cookies may be placed on your computer both by us and by third parties with whom we have a relationship, such as web analytic services, pixel tags, browser analysis tools, server logs and web beacons. Most internet browsers allow you to change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it, or to automatically accept or refuse all cookies.
A cookie’s life span may vary depending on what the individual providers have set for them. Some cookies disappear as soon as you close your browser window, where others may exist for several years. The third parties electroCore partners with typically use a 12-or 24-month life span on web analytics and advertisement-related cookies. The life span is reset after each visit to the web site.
You can block cookies from being placed on your computer. If you block cookies, it can result in parts of the website not functioning or appearing properly. Additionally, you can delete previously stored cookies. The method deleting those previously stored depends on the browser and the device being used to visit the website.
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. On electroCore.com, we do not capture personal information except when an investor chooses to submit personal information to request additional information or updates about the company. We use such information to respond to the investor regarding their request. In the event that you choose to sign up for updates on the gammaCore.com website, we collect first name, last name, email, and zip code which we use to provide the communications that you requested.
Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are a resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country.
Specifically, website servers for US data are located in Virginia, USA and web servers for European data are located in Frankfurt, Germany. Personal information is not routinely transferred outside of the EEA or Switzerland except where necessary to respond to product complaints or inquiries. In such instances, we will take appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this privacy notice. These include implementing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
